Marvel Rivals’ Creator World Cup Championship took place over the weekend, and with a $300,000 prize pool on the line creators from around the world banded together to compete for first place. Team AMER United ended up winning top spot and the $75,000 that went with it, but their win has been slightly overshadowed by…
The Virtual Pinball build officially begins! In Part 1 of this series, I’m unboxing an awesome package from Cleveland Software Design filled with parts that will be used in my custom VPIN cabinet. From controller boards to wiring and other essential components, we’ll take a first look at everything that’s going into this build. Whether…
…but there are more questions than answers. In this job, I’m used to seeing old, defunct companies come back from the dead, typically when some unrelated third party comes along and hoovers up a bunch of rights.

We’re yet to see a single drop of gameplay footage, but I can promise you Grand Theft Auto 6 is very real and definitely happening. At least, I certainly hope it is. Rockstar opened the door for pre-orders last week with its $80 and $100 versions, the latter of which I’m not overly jazzed about….

I’ll admit I’m not a big fighting game person. I enjoy playing the likes of Mortal Kombat casually, but I don’t get giddy for a new release.

Wes Fenlon, the person behind the utterly superb Read Only Memo newsletter, has announced a new initiative he has created alongside Matt Sayer called Warp Point. “Warp Point is built around simple technologies like RSS with a simple premise: Helping writers connect with…
They say fashion has a habit of repeating itself. What was once deemed gauche and detestable by one generation becomes the next’s “big thing”. Yep, like your grandad’s long socks to Gen Z, and skinny jeans to Millennials, the big beige retro rig has landed square and center on our desks again, at the forefront…
After the stratospheric success of Baldur’s Gate 3, Hasbro was naturally keen for a follow-up. The only problem? Larian wasn’t interested in doing Baldur’s Gate 4. And it turns out the second person Hasbro asked didn’t want the job either. Larian famously decided to move on from Baldur’s Gate and get back to working on…
