Amanita Design is one of my long-standing favorites. It was the studio’s 2009 robot adventure Machinarium that hooked me, but Botanicula, the Samorost games, the madcap Chuchel—they’re all brilliantly creative works. So when I saw that a demo for its next game, Phonopolis, had dropped into the Steam Next Fest, I was all over it….

Director Paul W. S. Anderson, who helmed the likes of Mortal Kombat (1995), Resident Evil (2002), and Monster Hunter (2021), has just done a new interview on Chris Plante’s (excellent) podcast Post Games. It’s a lengthy and enjoyable listen, and Anderson speaks at some length about the thought process behind that first Resident Evil movie…

As the AI boom continues to, well, boom, it’s not surprising that some are questioning the viability of rampant AI adoption, and the pace at which the hardware supply chain underneath it has to keep up. One such commenter on the subject is none other than the product lead for Google AI Studio, Logan Kilpatrick….

The new version of Final Fantasy 7 that Square Enix announced in a boldly detail-free post last January hit Steam yesterday and, well, people aren’t happy about it. In an event scientists are (probably) calling “more predictable than the sunrise,” it seems fans rather think Square Enix mucked it all up, so much so that…

Of course, it’s expected that the thing everyone’s talking about in a new content drop in Arc Raiders is… the content. And the Shrouded Sky update delivered on that part, with the Controlled Access Zone on Dam Battlegrounds, five new quests, two new Arc machines (Firefly and Comet), the Weather Monitor project, and the admittedly…

I love a good restaurant management simulator. There’s something oddly satisfying about frantically rushing around trying to complete orders before your customers storm out of the door, muttering something under their breath about you. As much as I love this chaos though, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t keen to find a game…

Micron is making an early run for 2026’s Most Tone-Deaf Tech Company award with a new blog post titled, “The new performance bottleneck: How more GPU memory unlocks next gen gaming and AI PCs.” Uh-huh, and how are we mere PC gamers to unlock that bottleneck now that Micron has pivoted decisively in favour of…

It’s been a rough few years for Ubisoft. Skull and Bones became a $200 million folly, one of several failed attempts to capitalise on live-service popularity; staff are revolting due to layoffs, studio closures and a mandatory return-to-office command; and after years of trying to curtail the influence of Tencent, the Chinese publisher now controls…

If you’ve been to Stella Montis lately (well, ever, really), you’ve no doubt run into hordes of violent players using free loadouts to murder you and steal everything in your bag. After all, they’ve got nothing to lose, unlike you. With Arc Raiders‘ latest round of patch notes in the Shrouded Sky 1.17 update, Embark…

French publisher and hardware manufacturer Nacon has filed for insolvency, after Bigben Interactive, the majority shareholder in the company, failed to make a partial lone repayment. This appears to have caused a knock on effect that has led the company to declare that its “available assets do not allow it to meet its due liabilities.”…
