The Day Before was one of the most-wishlisted games on Steam before it came out in early access last week. Players flooded into the servers—over 38,000 were playing concurrently at its peak—but very quickly began flowing out, either because they were unable to connect to the servers, which featured no login queues, struggled with crashes…
The Phison E31T drives are finally here and arriving by the dozen. Here, I have Kioxia’s Exceria Plus G4, and it is quite the curious thing. Powered with a mix of both Kioxia flash and Phison controller tech, it’s aimed squarely at those looking for an entry-level PCIe 5.0 drive. One that doesn’t break the…
The flood of retail simulators on Steam is nothing new: the trend seemed to land with torrential force in late 2024. But it’s fascinating, to me at least, how many of these things are still being released every week, and how many of them seem to actually reach an audience despite their rudimentary appearance. Last…
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night nor Troy Baker nor terrorist delivery-addicts will stay Norman Reedus from his appointed rounds. It’s a ditty we all learnt in school, and it’s truer today than ever. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is so close to its PC release you can taste the…
Coming to Switch “soon”. Brainwash Gang’s Laika: Aged Through Blood is a really unique beast. Mixing Metroidvania exploration with motorbikes and bloody battles, it’s like a delicious cocktail of Excitebike, Mad Max, and Castlevania — a “motorvania” as the devs are calling it. But this unique action platformer has just got a PC release date…
Humanoid robots are doing all sorts of things recently, like playing sport, and being sold for under $6,000 USD. Interesting Engineering spotted the R1, a new human-shaped robot developed by Unitree Robots in Hangzhou, with the surprisingly low price tag of 39,999 yuan. Sometimes the words “you get what you pay for” hit a little more…
“Among developers, the discussion about the keycard format is perhaps a bit different”. As you’re doubtless well aware at this point, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is winging its way onto Switch 2 on 22nd January 2026, and we are super, super (add a few more supers) excited about it. Especially this writer, in fact,…
As another way to encourage Nintendo Switch owners to continue playing Super Kirby Clash, Nintendo is offering a special deal for players to take advantage of for a limited time. From now until March 7, you’ll be able to unlock a total of 10 free Gem Apples by using the special code FROSTKIBBLEBLADE. For those…
One of the things I genuinely like about Palworld is how it’s created a weird intersection between classic Pokémon-style mechanics and harebrained survival game nonsense—as is the case with this recent kill by the Video Gamers Podcast on Twitter. Spotted by GamesRadar, this kill of Mammorest—a huge boss-level pal that stomps around the game’s starting…
Greetings Simmers! I’m thrilled to announce that The Sims 4 is finally coming to PlayStation 4 November 17th! Over the last couple of years, we have heard from many of you about how much you want the game to come to console, and I have been right there with you. I love our PC game,…
