It’s kind of funny to look back on all the times PC gaming has been declared dead, a claim that—to borrow a phrase—was an exaggeration.

Ever see the movie Face/Off? John Travola and Nicolas Cage swap faces because one of them is a cop and the other is a terrorist and the cop is doing this big undercover thing that all goes wrong because nobody thinks that maybe they should write this stuff down in case the three people who…
That’s flash. With less than 100 games in its library, the Neo Geo Pocket Color might not seem like a convincing candidate for a flash cart, but when you consider that a great many of its titles are incredibly hard to obtain these days on the secondary market, the existence of RetroHQ’s NeoPocket GameDrive is…

Introducing two characters from Frontier City. The new “free-to-start” battle title Pokémon Champions is out next week for the Switch on 8th April 2026, and to help build some excitement, The Pokémon Company has released a new “world overview” trailer. As you might have guessed from the title, this cinematic introduces trainers to the world…
Slay the Spire 2 has been raking in the dough and enjoying all sorts of positive feedback, but the precarious thing about making something people love is that the minute you change it, you’re messing with that thing people love.
