I sometimes wonder if Steam Next Fest has run its course, if—like so much of Steam—it’s become so overwhelmed by stuff that it’s impossible to pick through it all and find the real gems. Is it really possible for little-known games to make a big splash anymore? I had my doubts. And turns out I…
Quantum computing is one of the most intriguing, and complicated future technologies currently under development. The esoteric tech always seems on the cusp of making a major breakthrough, but like a beach ball in a swimming pool, it consistently remains just out of reach. It’ll power the supercomputers of the future, we’re consistently told—eventually, once…
James Bentley, hardware writer (Image credit: Future) This week I’ve been: Playing Ghost of Yōtei and Silent Hill F on the PS5 and neglecting my Xbox Series X. Sorry, Xbox. I have played on Xbox for a long time, starting with an original Xbox, as a kid. That was a hand-me-down, and I distinctly remember…
Well, damn. The novelty of a brand new Star Trek: Voyager game tricked me into setting aside my natural cynicism, and I got burned. Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown, I’m sad to report, is about as tasty as Neelix’s cooking. A budget survival game that commits the worst sin: it’s just so bloody…
God, I’m kind of in love with Screamer‘s whole vibe. No, not the 1995 PC racer.

But trout guy, who has been attempting to make a dent in a stack of over 500,000 trout, might just be a secret genius. As…
Bad news if you have ever wanted to execute Mickey Mouse with an M1911—cartoon-styled shooter Mouse: PI For Hire has been delayed. In a post on the game’s Steam page, Fumi (the devs) and PlaySide (the publisher) announced that the game was slipping back from its originally planned 2025 release window all the way to…
Over a third of games released on Steam this year might not have even made enough money to break even on Valve’s submission fee, according to Steam analytics site Gamalytic. As reported by GamesRadar, Gamalytic estimates that almost 13,000 new entries have hit Steam since the beginning of this year, highlighted by Soulash developer Artur…
The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X might be expensive, but it’s a real delight to use and for that reason many might be looking towards it for their next handheld gaming PC. One blocker to that might be hesitation over the new bespoke version of Windows running on the handheld. However, it turns out the…
When Rainbow Six Siege morphed into the free-to-play Rainbow Six Siege X back in June, it wasn’t the brave new beginning some had hoped for. Players didn’t like how currency gain slowed to a crawl (that has since been fixed) and server woes were widely reported. But one of the enduring complaints about Siege X…
