As it did to many in my generation, Pokémon Snap left an indelible imprint on my childhood psyche. Even at a young, tender age, I admired the rarity of a game that celebrated the simple act of observing creatures in their natural habitat instead of attacking them on sight. I’m all for fighting fake creatures,…
The Like a Dragon Gaiden Locker Keys will be pretty familiar to anyone who’s played previous Yakuza games. You run around town collecting scattered keys that can be used to open coin lockers containing a variety of valuable items—it’s effectively a lucky dip where you might get a really good piece of gear, or instead,…
When you have a product that’s generally deemed to be the best in its class, it can sometimes be hard to think of ways to make it better. But in the case of the Maxwell planar magnetic gaming headset, Audeze has given it 16 “community inspired” improvements and just as importantly, rolled out a fresh…
I don’t understand Gigabyte’s Aero X16, I really don’t. Actually, scratch that, I don’t currently understand the wider gaming notebook market. Not right now anyway. I’ve combed over the test results here repeatedly over the last week, and well, to say this isn’t the best gaming laptop, is an understatement. Quite the damning opening paragraph…
“Please don’t do that!”. CGI trailers that refrain from showing any actual gameplay have often been a source of discourse in the video game community. On the one hand, they can be pretty effective in building hype – particularly if it’s for a highly anticipated release – but on the other, they often fail at…
This Innocn has become the new floor for how little I would actually pay for a 4K 144 Hz monitor before I get a little worried. Luckily, this one doesn’t cheap out in its response time or refresh rate either. If you want something budget-oriented for your presumably not budget graphics card, this is a…
This year has just been fantastic for the Amstrad CPC with a ton of Amstrad homebrew games to spoil us, but even though we had the incredible Amiga to Amstrad port of Pinball Dreams, we haven’t finished with the Amstrad yet. Now you may remember our big article on the very impressive looking homebrew remake of…
The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is all about pushing technology forward, and we like to bring at least some of that Night City energy to our development process too. Players have been asking about this for a long time, so we’re super excited to finally reveal the details of our free Cyberpunk 2077 PlayStation 5…
I concur with PC Gamer’s Mollie Taylor, my fellow Final Fantasy 14 enjoyer on our illustrious staff, that FF14’s Occult Crescent patch has made the game feel like an MMO again. I actually got downright emotional, hopping into my first critical encounter and seeing swarms of strangers crowding around a chance to give a boss…
Can I get a “Guh Huh’? It seems like only yesterday that Mr Wiseguy released his Recompiled PC port of Banjo-Kazooie, bringing a bunch of additional features, including high-frame-rate support, widescreen and ultra-wide-screen options, and limited mod support. But it already appears that we’re getting another native PC port based on the N64 classic. This…
