The face of Ace Combat, Kazutoki Kono, has been working on the game series for a very long time. One of his earliest game credits is 1997’s Ace Combat 2 for the PlayStation—he’s worked his way up to the role of series brand director from his initial contributions to that game as part of the…
If you thought finding the Tokyo Tower was hard in last week’s Series 1 challenges in Forza Horizon 6, then get ready for the Pitcher Perfect photo challenge. This week gives you nothing more than a hint of a baseball field, which is less to go on than Tokyo City’s iconic tower. The answer, thankfully,…
Computex is, to a degree, always about excess. It’s a tech show, after all. All the big names are fighting for coverage of their latest products, and as a result, we always see outrageous graphics cards covered in exotic materials, some eye-wateringly expensive gaming rigs, and enough RGB lighting to sink a battleship. I know…
Entropy, the JRPG-style game from Dread Delusion developer Lovely Hellplace, has gotten a playable demo on Steam and an early access release date of August 18. I checked out that demo for myself, and things are looking great for the studio’s extremely divergent sophomore effort. It’s wild how different Entropy is from Dread Delusion on…
Here’s a thing about me: I get notions. In RPGs, I get very specific images in my head of who I’m playing and how I’m playing them. It’ll be a cold day in hell before you catch me using anything but a revolver and light armour in New Vegas, or dual flintlock pistols (and light…
Remember the first five minutes of Top Gun: Maverick where Tom Cruise dies in a tragic crash, but not before magically passing his pilot’s spirit and innate talent to the young hotshot who becomes the new Maverick? No? You’re telling me that I just made that up? Well, look: That might be true. But I…
Time was, you used to have to go places to see videogame events. I’ve been through it myself—a sweltering period in Los Angeles where I spent approximately $6,000 on Ubers and lived off Famous Amos cookies from the hotel vending machine. But it’s the 21st century, and you don’t have to deal with all that….
This is it, unambiguously my Computex highlight and also a genuine surprise. I give you the Alienware AW3926QW in all its 39-inch OLED, 5K2K, RGB-stripe, remarkably priced glory. This isn’t actually the first 39-inch 5K2K OLED on the market. Actually, I’ve already reviewed one, the LG Ultragear 45GX950A, and it actually disappointed a little. That…
The companies that attend Computex love to shove screens on things. Last year, we had tonnes of panels slapped on the side of coolers, cases, and more. This year is no different, but this time, it’s a fairly sizable screen. Gigabyte is slapping almost an entire gaming monitor onto one of its cases. The Gigabyte…
The AI giveth. And it taketh away. Or something like that. I bring you news of conflicting reports around computer sales. On the one hand, new data predicts PC sales will tank pretty badly over the next few years. On the other, Apple is reportedly doubling MacBook Neo production. So, what gives? The PC sales…
