In a recent interview with Time Extension former Konami executive Christopher Bergstresser revealed that, way back in 1999, the company was approached by the Wachowskis with an offer to make a Matrix videogame. The Matrix was released in June 1999 and had quickly become a smash hit, with this meeting apparently taking place in the…

The Outer Worlds 2‘s senior narrative designer, Joe Fielder, has worn a lot of hats in his 20 plus years in the industry. “I’ve been a level designer, I’ve been a puzzle designer, I’ve been a producer and a director,” he tells us. “Sometimes, in the games industry, you take on the job that’s offered…

AI represents many things to many people. To some, a way to tackle menial work. To others, a tool for usurping artists and laying off workers. To Nvidia, it represents a significant portion of its $5 trillion valuation. To Senator Bernie Sanders, a meteor metaphor. Say that three times fast. In a recent conversation with…

As I type these very words, Nvidia’s market capitalisation is ticking along at $5.12 trillion. Yup, Nvidia has become the world’s first $5 trillion company. Truly, these numbers are getting silly. Of course, it really, really (really!) wasn’t all that long ago we reported on Nvidia becoming the world’s most valuable company at $3.3 trillion….

Light some fireworks and crack open a bottle of champagne—Dragon Quest 1 and 2 have been reborn in respectfully remastered forms on Steam. These games, so old and basic their first PC ports (to Japan’s MSX in the 1980s) didn’t even have side-facing sprites, are more than merely unmissable 40 years later: they’re foundational works…

Just like Battlefield 6, the Battlefield Redsec battle royale has 45 weapons to either find around the map or call in using custom loadout drops. In other words, you’re spoilt for choice. But in a mode where your chances of success are at least in part determined by what gear you have, what you really…

We can’t seem to get a moment’s respite in the PC gaming industry, can we? We spent the better part of this year lamenting ridiculously high GPU prices, and as soon as said prices finally start dropping, memory and storage prices start climbing. You might have noticed this worrying trend if you’ve been looking for…

When is a gaming handheld not a gaming handheld? Well, I’d argue it’s when you need to strap a bunch of external devices to it in order to get the most out of it, which is exactly what’s happened to the Strix Halo-powered OneXPlayer OneXFly Apex. It’s a seriously impressive-looking device on paper, with what…

I live in a WI-Fi bowl, which, for the mercifully unaware, means that I’m capped at criminally low internet speed. Any game I want to play will take an age to download—it took me three weeks to download Stalker 2. So it goes without saying that I’m always making full use of preloads. One such…

With seas of stock to maintain, plus piles of product pages to go along with every item, listing mistakes happen. Should an eagle-eyed shopper scoop a downright unreasonably priced bit of kit, it’s often a toss up as to whether the supplier will either cancel the order, or quietly honour the few orders that get…
