Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam has announced Blades of Fire, a glossy action-adventure that resembles a snappier, bloodier spin on Sony’s God of War reboots. It’s coming to PC in May, and the trailer showcases the game in pretty spectacular fashion. None of this has to do with why I’m excited, however, as I’ll get to…
A Kickstarter for the game is now live. The Game Boy Color had no shortage of cute and colourful platformers, thanks to games like Shantae, Rayman, Croc, and Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. And that number has only grown in recent years, thanks to the emergence of the homebrew scene that has been busy creating new…
Playing with power. You’re probably familiar with Taki Udon’s work by now. The modder had previously managed to implement an OLED screen into the Switch Lite, and proceeded to sell the ‘Super5’ installation kits on the RetroRemake website. Now, however, with the help of fellow modder @AzkaliManad, the pair have gone one step further with…
Lenovo has cooked up a new laptop with a solar panel with sufficient energy-absorbing capability to turn 20 minutes of sunlight into enough charge for an hour of video playback. Give it up for the Lenovo Yoga Solar PC. Lenovo has also revealed a stand-alone USB Type-C solar charging kit. For now, however, both devices…

As we noted in our review, while this was a…
You know, I thought I liked Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. I was so suckered in that I even gave it a 90% in our Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 review before theorising a new iron law of game design based off of it. But I was wrong. The game was actually unplayable, and it’s entirely down…
Sonic, ATLUS and Like A Dragon all name dropped. SEGA has just released its latest financial report for Q3 of the current fiscal year, and the accompanying Q&A with company vice president Makoto Takahashi and director Nobuaki Yoshii gives a neat little insight about what the team has planned for the future (thanks, VGC). After…
Last year, the US Department of Justice proposed a number of remedies to address Google’s vice-like hold over search. Among the DOJ’s suggestions was that Google be forced to sell off Chrome and be banned from re-entering the browser market for five years. Unsurprisingly, Google didn’t much care for this plan, and they’re now trying…
AMD has gone big with the new Radeon RX 9070 XT, and I don’t just mean because it’s an absolutely monstrously large GPU. This is the first time in a very, very long time where AMD is releasing a brand new graphics card that isn’t just toeing the same line Nvidia has already drawn in…
In four weeks’ time… In exactly four weeks, we’re all going to know more about Switch 2 – hopefully a lot more. Wednesday 2nd April is the day of Switch 2 Direct when Nintendo lifts the lid on its upcoming console and gives us a much better idea of what’s in store beyond the initial…
