Finding Ancient Bone in Palworld is rather tricky if you haven’t clocked that each of the three ancient materials come from the wildlife sanctuaries dotted around the islands. These areas are easy to recognise because of the big shield domes protecting them, but that does mean you have to sneak about and avoid their protectors…

Assassin’s Creed Unity, it hardly needs to be said, had its share of problems. At launch, the game which was intended to be Ubisoft’s big technical showcase on the then-new PS4 and Xbox One was rife with sometimes-hilarious bugs, filled with map barf, crammed with microtransactions, had a rather odd emphasis on co-op gameplay in…

Part mythic fantasy RPG, part cattle management sim, King of Dragon Pass was initially a commercial failure—but it gradually amassed a cult following, and is remembered today by those with excellent taste as one of the finest narrative experiences in…

IBM’s share price just dropped by a whopping 25%. That’s thanks to IBM’s CEO, Arvind Krishna, saying the company didn’t adapt quickly enough to the industry moving towards spending less on software and more on data centre infrastructure (via CNN). As noted by CNN, this puts the company in the vicinity of its worst day…

I’m pretty neutral on World of Warcraft’s current in-between patch content—this sort of thing isn’t necessarily Blizzard’s strong suit, and you get losers and winners. I’m already deeply ambivalent to the Omnium Folio, but I’ve been having an acceptable time in its void invasion zones. Sometimes it’s nice to just turn your brain off for…

Say what you want about Windows—I’ve certainly said my fair share—but recent months have shown at least that Microsoft is willing to make some positive changes. Now, at least some of these are coming to fruition, as the company is releasing an improved Windows start menu search box for Insiders. The changes are ones that…

Recently a bunch of motherboard and component makers have been validating their stuff for Chinese-made memory. That’s brands including biggies, such as MSI and Asus. The reason, it turns out, is apparently a massive ramp up in the amount of DRAM production coming from China, especially from memory maker CXMT. Basing their analysis largely on…

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has been a massive success for Ubisoft, having sold two million copies in a day and breaking the series’ concurrent player records on Steam by nearly 40,000. Despite this good news, the company is planning to lay off 51 developers at Ubisoft Barcelona. These layoffs were announced last month, alongside…

Acquiring Cryogenic Coolant in Palworld lets you craft a bunch of different items, from a saddle for Jormuntide, to more advanced coolers, to the refined cold resistant metal armour. Chances are at some stage you’ll need to use this material, so here’s how to get it. As with some other materials, players are reporting that…
