We gave everyone a gentle nudge at the start of December to remind them that the clock on the Bluetooth upgrade option for the Stadia controller was ticking down: Google had given Stadia owners until the end of 2023 to convert their controllers to wireless functionality, or be stuck with wires forever. But someone, somewhere,…
Twitch has taken back a rule change it made just two days ago. After seeing what some streamers did with the freedom to stream “artistic depictions of nudity,” the site said it “went too far.” The change was one of several adjustments to Twitch’s policies on sexual content and nudity made on Wednesday, and lifted…
The challenge was simple, really: Honour Mode had told me exactly what I was in for before I started. One save, no backsies, no cheeky Alt+F4s to safety. If the active party wiped even once, even to something stupid, then I could only keep my save file with an asterisk—I’d be shamefully knocked down from the…

Homeworld 3 is the third instalment of the Homeworld series, a space strategy game whose last instalment came out in 2003.

With AMD dominating the handheld PC market, thanks to the Ryzen 7 7840U APU, it was only a matter of time before somebody decided to give Intel a try. That someone just so happens to be OneXPlayer, a brand that has a pretty decent track record with handhelds, such as the great OneXFly. It’s just…

Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker will finally call curtains next year as we head into Dawntrail, and I’ve never had so many mixed feelings about an MMO I absolutely love. Endwalker had a lot riding on the back of it. It was the culmination of a 10-year storyline, saddled with massive expectations from Shadowbringers. It was…
