Most of us would generally agree that the 1990s represented the golden age of fighting games. The quality and quantity of fighting game titles that emerged during that decade was unprecedented, to say the very least. Of course, there were some notable duds, but in a time when every developer was striving to solidify themselves…
If you like Piña Marauders… I’ll admit that I am relatively new to the Dragon Quest Monsters series. The Dark Prince passed me by on Switch, and while I have some memories of playing Joker on my DS, I never really “got into it” in the same way that I did the mainline games around…
Modder backports weapons, boss battles, and more. One of the best boons of video game remakes is how they offer opportunities to tweak, expand, or enhance the experiences that came before, utilising modern-day power, or simply contemporary game design knowledge, to boost a classic title with features perhaps unavailable to the original developer.

Help us, Double Fine, you’re our only hope! If you asked people to name their favourite Monkey Island game, chances are Escape From Monkey Island wouldn’t be a lot of people’s first pick.

In 2024, its games Jusant and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden sold “well below expectations”, causing it to pause development of two further games. Then, in 2025, it laid off several employees…
Record Pitch. Sometimes, when you love an artist’s work, you just find any opportunity you can to pay tribute to it. At least that’s the only explanation I can come up with for this strange Easter Egg, which finds the 2002 song “Letters”, performed by megaselling artist Utada, buried within the code of the 2005…
We’re just a month away from Arc Raiders‘ major update Frozen Trails which promises new arcs, maps, and a movement overhaul. It sounds pretty impressive, and I’m excited to have a new reason to head Topside. But before we can enjoy the tundra Embark has one more small update for players, and it’s live right…
Samsung is set to use ASML’s latest high NA EUV machines for “volume manufacturing” by 2028, and TSMC is set to do the same from 2030, according to the world’s sole EUV machine maker (via Bloomberg). ‘High NA EUV’ stands for “high numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet”, and refers to the tippity top-end chipmaking technology found…
“We have to make something happen moving forward in the next six months”. The “consultant” CEO of Amico (which, as you’ll know, can no longer use the name Intellivision) has admitted he’s working for no pay and that the firm has basically six months to determine its future. Speaking to Scene World Magazine (thanks, Completely…
A release date for the Steam Frame has not yet been officially announced. However, data mining by VR leaker Brad Lynch has unearthed a reservation system in Valve’s back-end, suggesting the hardware may not be far off. Lynch shared a look at the definitely not yet live reservation system on X. “Expect nothing. It isn’t…
