The messaging coming out of Microsoft is becoming unmistakable. The next version of Windows is going to be all about chat. Last week, Microsoft posted a video that claimed, “the world of mousing around and keyboarding around and typing will feel as alien as it does to Gen Z to use DOS.” Now there’s a…
Can you be “a bold stand against today’s toxic tech” whilst using Gen AI? Once upon a time, Commodore was one of the biggest names in the world of home computers and video games. Via its successful C64 and Amiga platforms, it attracted legions of fans, and seemed to typify the ‘Trojan Horse’ dream of…
There are pugs in it. Jackbox Games has released a new trailer for the upcoming Jackbox Party Pack 11, scheduled to launch on the Switch later this year. It’s looking pretty ridiculous, which is exactly what we’ve come to expect from the Jackbox franchise, so if you’re looking to play a few fun party with…
One of the hubbubs surrounding WoW’s upcoming Legion Remix is the fact that Mage Tower—an incredibly popular piece of content that Blizzard has never brought back (in full, anyway, there was a stint without the same rewards) for fools like me who missed it—likely won’t be making a return. Bare minimum, it’s not been mentioned…
Metal Gear Solid 5 came out (oh my god) 10 years ago, but it can still spark discourse like a game half its age. Did Konami mistreat Hideo Kojima? Did Kojima push his luck too far? Will we ever get Episode 51 (no)? Do we regret our words and deeds more than the regular amount?…
LaserActive Mega LD support could be coming to Ares. In 1993, Sega partnered with the Japanese multinational Pioneer Corporation to release a new module for its LaserActive home entertainment system in Japan and North America. This exciting and technologically impressive add-on featured support for standard Sega Mega Drive / Genesis cartridges and Sega CD discs,…
Look, I’ll hold my hands up—as a writer often on the move, I’ve holed myself up in coffee shops with my laptop to write articles before, eeking out my drink for far longer than necessary to make the most of a wall socket. I’ve never been brave enough to bring in a more substantial piece…
Last weekend, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the Battlefield 6 open beta was holding up. The series has repeatedly fallen into the trap of launching in an unoptimised state, only getting tidied up months or even a year later. Battlefield 6 has, seemingly, bucked this trend, as I was getting silky smooth FPS…
Portable PC gaming has never been bigger, with things like the Steam Deck, gaming laptops, and even tablets being developed with gamers in mind. OneXPlayer is a brand that’s gone all in on the handheld PC market, giving us Steam Deck competitors that range from unimpressive fat tablets like the OneXPlayer X1 handheld to the…
Portable handheld gaming PCs are one of my favourite recent offshoots of PC gaming. It’s been a delight to watch all these Switch-styled devices crop up with their cute plastic shells hiding often beastly gamer interiors. The downside is while we are seeing more of these Steam Deck competitors around, we’re also seeing relatively limited…
