While I’ve largely enjoyed any time I’ve dipped a toe into virtual reality, I definitely do not own a VR headset. As cool as the tech is, that hardware remains an expensive niche within the increasingly pricey PC gaming landscape. Global VR headset shipments apparently declined by 18% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026,…
Last week, Google announced (via HKEPC) that it managed to fully map the brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly into 3D neural shapes. As you might expect, it took approximately three seconds flat for software engineers to try and get it to play Doom. Google reports that scientists and researchers…
Three months ago, Corsair announced the TC80 gaming chair. At the time, I was pretty excited for it, because it (A) strips back the overly-gamefied stylings and (B) is, according to Corsair, “affordable.” Back then we didn’t have the price, but now we do. It’s going to cost just $200/£170/€180, though this is “subject to…

Physint has been hyped as Kojima Productions’ return to “tactical espionage action” or, in other words, Hideo Kojima’s return to making stealth action games in the style of Metal Gear Solid. It’s been a PlayStation exclusive since its reveal in 2024, but things have changed dramatically: after Sony tried to cancel the project entirely in…
Juggernaut is a forthcoming free-to-play boomer shooter clearly styled after Wolfenstein engine FPSes of yore. It’s about shooting huge waves of zombies in flat, pixellated arenas. As far as modern retro shooters go it looks unremarkable, though it will be released alongside the Juggernaut Assets Maker, a paid tool for making your own levels and…
I’m looking forward to an expansion for a game from 2015 more than I am for pretty much any new game coming up. The Songs of the Past add-on for The Witcher 3, which will be out next year, promises to let us explore a whole new region and get to know Dandelion better than…
Have you met Valheim 1.0’s mountainous menace, the Gammeltroll? If you’ve made your way to Valheim’s final biome, the Deep North, you’ve probably seen and fought it already: the Gammeltroll is a 30-foot tall rock monster who pelts you with tree trunks from range and stomps you into paste if you get too close. Most…
Valve rolled out 18+ age verification for Australian Steam users yesterday, which was inevitable: both PlayStation and Xbox have already done so and it is, after all, illegal not to, with fines up to AU$50 million at stake. But unlike PlayStation and Xbox, which offers a small handful of ways to verify one’s adulthood, Valve…
The brands are at it again but this time I’m inclined to let it slide, because it’s so nonsensical (which is a nice way of saying dumb) that I can’t help but be charmed. Ikea, the Swedish furniture-and-stuff giant, has released a mod for Skyrim called Kallax Storageborn: A new companion who is also a…
