Videogame analyst Matthew Ball predicted in his “State of Videogaming in 2026” report released earlier this year that in-game ad placements will become more common in PC and console games and services in the future, as they’re a largely untapped source of revenue—income the industry needs and is increasingly struggling to find. Now he’s the…
Finding the Astro Toy photo challenge location this week in Forza Horizon 6 is much easier than the Tokyo Tower or Edogawa Baseball Stadium, so long as you’ve done some exploring. That said, finding the Irokawa Space Centre isn’t the biggest hurdle. That would be figuring out what a Track Toy is. Below, I’ll explain…
Any news on the current global memory crisis probably seems like a stuck record right now, but SK hynix reckons it has some good news for us: Its plans for constructing new chip factories have managed to shave ten years off the projected completion date. The only problem is that it’s only brought it to…
EVE Frontier is a weird game. It’s had an uphill battle winning goodwill from EVE Online’s infamously dedicated community, running into a refrain of, “Why should I play this crypto spinoff thing?” It’s gone through traditionally closed, often unsightly stages of early development in full public view, with players offering feedback along the way. It…
After taking last week off, the Treasure Hunt challenge is back on the menu in Forza Horizon 6‘s Spring Series 1 update. This week, we’ve got to find the Tokyo City Treasure Hunt, which is the hardest one yet. The hint you’re given is of the shipping yard in the city, with tons of containers…

Witchspire solves those problems, then, by being…
If I really sit down and think about it—put my thinking cap on and plumb the depths of my feelings—I can only conclude that 80 Days is one of my favourite games ever made. Top five, for sure. Top three even, maybe. Inkle’s adaptation of Phileas Fogg’s globetrotting gamble is a dang masterpiece full of…
AI is ruining everything, right? The economy, air quality, and computing as a whole have all felt the impact of the exponential growth in data centers for machine learning. However, there’s one little hardware AI project that proves bigger isn’t always better, and even shows a possible way out of the current memory crisis. It’s…
The latest market data from research outfit Jon Peddie shows that the volume of PC graphics cards shipped in the first quarter of this year actually held up pretty well, despite the broader chip crisis. But AMD is basically flat lining, stuck at well under 10% of the market, albeit with caveats attached to the…
In the midst of the AI feeding frenzy, have you ever looked upon the fluctuating stock charts of big tech’s major players and thought, “Yo, I bet that would be a sick dirt bike track,”? Really, just me? Well, I know for a fact this is not a wholly original brain wave as StonkRider exists….
