Unless you’ve been living on Mars for the past year, it can’t have escaped your notice that memory sticks and SSDs are painfully expensive right now, having risen fourfold in price in less than six months. With the AI market showing no signs of slowing its rampant consumption of DRAM and storage, you’d expect things…
In season two, episode one of Black Mirror—a science fiction show designed to do what good sci-fi always does, satirise and critique the future—Martha, boyfriend of the late Ash Starmer, decides to try out a new service that creates an android from her dead boyfriend’s social media profiles. The episode is about how existentially horrifying…
Around a month ago Rockstar launched an official mod shop for Grand Theft Auto Online, with Cfx Marketplace coming three years after the studio’s 2023 acquisition of Cfx.re, a GTA and Red Dead Redemption modding team. This is obviously something of a dry run for the company before the all-conquering arrival of GTA 6, with…
Windows 11. There’s a lot I could say about Microsoft’s latest operating system, but if I got into it, we’d be here all day.

And few games have ever videogamed harder in that regard than Metaphor: ReFantazio, Atlus’ polychromatic RPG from 2024 that puts you in the shoes of a young man on a quest to defeat racism…
We’ve recently had a bonanza of Bethesda interviews to mark… well, it feels like they were all done to mark the end of Fallout season two, which is a bit odd. But nevertheless, among them is Game Informer’s excellent oral history of Fallout, in which the great and good from the studio reminisce about bringing…
Crimson Desert, the upcoming open-world action-adventure game made by the devs of the MMO Black Desert (don’t worry, it miraculously avoids non-preorder microtransactions at launch), isn’t an RPG. Despite having oodles of systems, gear, and a large map to explore that might make you think otherwise, the developers are steadfast in avoiding the loaded term….
