A technical showcase with informed design sensibilities. Regular readers will know we covered Changeable Guardian Estique last year and in May, and we were very excited for its release. We’ve actually had a review ROM since September, but we wanted to play an additional 19 games alongside – on real hardware – to fully appreciate…
I originally said that Infinity Nikki was like a dress-up Genshin Impact, but after entirely too many hours of playtime over the weekend I’m becoming convinced it’s more like a dress-up Dark Souls. Nothing has solidified that theory for me more than discovering that players have been using the Snapshot function—essentially the only form of…
Cooling fans in servers don’t have an easy life. They’re jammed into a tiny space and typically run full-pelt all day long. Should one fail, it’s not a quick task to replace them either, so anything that can be done to keep them running longer is a must. Cooling experts Arctic reckons it has the…
I’ve never been that much of a Tolkien buff, but even I know a Lord of the Rings reference when I see one. Gundalf, Bilbao, and Legsolarse are much beloved characters for many of you (I’m told), so an exciting partnership between Palantir and Anduril should be right up your street.

“If you’re not directly working on the game, go away”. We know that Nintendo can be a little protective of its intellectual properties (now there’s an understatement), but it turns out that the company’s micromanagement was enough to make one artist on Metroid Prime 3: Corruption leave his position at Retro Studios.

Printers, webcams, routers—the usual things that have issues after a big operating system patch. For the Windows 11 24H2 update, games also joined in with the failure party, specifically five big releases from Ubisoft and the problems were so bad, that Microsoft prevented the update from being applied to any PC with those games installed….
Are you a bad enough dude to create a witty quote? All your base are belong to us. Are you a bad enough dude. A huge battleship is approaching fast. We’ve all got our favourite quotes from video games, and many of these phrases have even become part of popular culture – but Foone’s latest…
Cracking the Father and Son safe code in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is one of the first really tricky puzzles that you encounter in the game, and that’s saying a lot when you find a new mystery to unravel every five minutes or so. This one appears in the Vatican after you save…
I’ve got a bad feeling about this. We’ll admit, the 2000 PlayStation title Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles wasn’t the first “classic” to spring to mind when we wondered what Aspyr would be remastering next. But hey, it’s coming to Switch next year, and eShop pre-orders are now open. In a new pre-order…
itch.io is home to countless homebrew titles for retro machines. The digital storefront itch.io is currently experiencing an extended period of downtime, which is allegedly the result of the company Funko. Earlier today, the company took to Twitter to share the news with its followers, writing, “I kid you not, @itchio has been taken down…
