Another day, another round of bad news regarding the ongoing RAM shortage and rising PC hardware prices. TrendForce reports that the NAND flash wafer supply is getting worse, which will directly impact SSD prices, and it already has. How long will it take for those price changes to trickle down to the consumer market? And…
Never too-ie late. Banjo-Tooie isn’t the most beloved adventure in the bear and bird’s series, but it has its fair share of fans. One of which happens to be Nintendo’s very own Shigeru Miyamoto, which former Rare designer and director Gregg Mayles revealed on social media. Sharing a fax from the legendary game creator and…
Some Arc Raiders players have been desperately searching for a way to identify and punish evil players, to warn others that they aren’t to be trusted before any more blood is shed. Some dabbled with the idea of virtual sheriffs, while others took to naming and shaming on Reddit, but now they’ve taken to using…

The prequel to the sequel to the sequel to the prequel. It’s been over three years since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge was released, and Tribute Games has been really busy. Stuffed like a return-trip suitcase, Marvel Cosmic Invasion’s enormous cast of heroes and villains is here united in a rapturous beat-’em-up fanfare. Its…
Windows 11 adoption has been slow for many different reasons, from hardware constraints to people just not wanting to do it. Both valid reasons, I think.
