The tables turn. When you look at PS5 sales on a worldwide scale, there’s no denying that Sony’s latest hardware family is doing very well. Over in Japan, however, the console has struggled to dethrone the Nintendo Switch, consistently selling significantly fewer units on a weekly basis. That changes this week with the recent launch…
Forever blowing bubbles. The world of emulation handhelds has given us numerous clones of the Nintendo Game Boy, but Sega systems have been curiously underrepresented. Sure, Anbernic gave us the Saturn-style ARC, but we haven’t had all that many devices that take inspiration from Nintendo’s bitter ’90s rival—until now, at least. The $99 Game Kiddy…
Including a football mini-game and a James Bond-esque ski chase. The SNK run ‘n gunner Metal Slug 3 is already a pretty ridiculous game, featuring zombies, aliens, and submachine gun-wielding orangutans. But it turns out, the game could have perhaps been even more bonkers, with the former SNK and Nazca Corporation developer Akio recently taking…
It can be hard to keep count of all of the online subscription fees I’m paying these days; a few quid here or there for films, music, and my terrible, no good Final Fantasy XIV: Online habit that I just won’t quit. For the low, low price of a couple of bob a month, I…
There comes a time, dear reader, when us writers at PC Gamer are at odds—and I find myself on the other side of a fence shouting: ‘Nonsense! Balderdash! Tomfoolery!’ at my unfortunate colleagues Joshua Wolens and Robert Zak, who have got it into their heads that Avowed is somehow lesser for its lack of reactivity…
The voice actor for Solas in the Dragon Age series, Gareth David-Lloyd, recently spoke about his experience working on the series and playing the games: Including his favourite romance option. It’s himself. I mean, you have to respect the honesty. Talking at York Comic Con, and filmed by streamer LadyCrazyDragon (thanks, The Gamer), it sounds…
Spelinker. You know, we had a sneaky suspicion that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom would have some legs on it. From people’s ridiculous Ultrahand creations to glitches to challenge runs, it feels like players are always discovering something weird or new. Well, fans have now found a huge hole tucked underneath the Hebra Depths, and…
Another article so soon? A couple of odds and ends have dropped since my last post and I’m sitting in my car, many towns from home waiting for my youngest son who is at club lacrosse practice so I’ve got time. First up, we have Barrels of Fun, maker of the Labrynth pinball machine. Barrels…
Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox software and prolific poster, has once again taken to social media to get into metaphorical fistfights with the developer’s critics over Borderlands. In case you’re unfamiliar, Pitchford has a bit of a habit of this—like when the Borderlands movie bombed horrendously, or when he compared his team to The Beatles….
We’ve got yet another hero shooter on our hands as FragPunk gears up for launch. We’re only a couple of days away from when you can check out this new entry for yourself, perk cards and all, so here are all the unlock times so you don’t miss out. Despite a delayed launch on consoles,…
