“A return to big shooters is probably unlikely”. Steve Ellis and David Doak made their names at companies like Rare and Free Radical Design, but their latest venture – MindFuel Games – is a decidedly lower-key affair. The small studio has just announced its first game, Beyond Words, which feels like a mix between Scrabble…
Two good news stories in the space of one week for Intel? Well, kinda. Hot on the heels of a rumour claiming Intel has convinced Apple to make chip at its foundry comes new analysis showing an uptick in market share for Arc GPUs. Just don’t get too excited. Intel’s Arc GPUs have gone from…
Brace yourself for the latest update to the memory supply crisis. And it’s not good news. Not at all. Samsung and SK Hynix, who together are responsible for 70% of the DRAM market, have signalled their reluctance and inability, respectively, to sufficiently expand memory production.

You’ve no doubt seen the buzzwords thrown around by Activision already that Black Ops 7 Season 1 is the biggest Black Ops season ever, and they’re not lying: it’s a massive first update, not helped by the fact that it also doubles up with Warzone’s integration.

It’s presumably with this in mind that OpenAI is reportedly planning to turn ChatGPT into an advertising platform. In short, ChatGPT might be on the verge of becoming the most effective ad bot the world has…
A Switch 1 vs Switch 2 showdown. Red Dead Redemption has lassoed its way onto Switch 2 today, bringing with it HDR and DLSS support, mouse controls and a smooth 60fps. The big question is, what does all of this look like in practice, and perhaps more importantly, how does it compare to 2023’s Switch…
The best Darktide Hive Scum build for my money isn’t about melee at all. Just like the Arbites before it, the Hive Scum class can be extremely strong in close-quarters, bashing enemies with his Crowbar or chem-laced Bone Saw to apply DoT effects. But does it feel different? Not really. Where the Hive Scum truly…
Handles sprite scaling and rotation. Think every little secret about Street Fighter II has been discovered? Well, you’d be wrong, as a new debug menu has been found in the ‘Turbo‘ version of the game. TurboAnnihilate is the one who made the discovery, unearthing a debug menu for sprite scaling and rotation. Read the full…
“That’s one I just treasure”. If you have a passing interest in gaming outside of Nintendo, you’ll likely have experienced the work of Mark Cerny. He was the Lead Architect of the PlayStation Vita, PS4, and PS5 — you might remember him from the PS5 Pro reveal — and he appears on the most recent…
