Motherboards aren’t usually the first component that comes to mind when I think of what really wows me in the visual department. But I’ll be damned if the ASRock B860 Steel Legend Wi-Fi doesn’t hit me square in the aesthetics cortex (right next to the amygdala), and I’ll be even more damned if I don’t…
A Metroidvania with claws. Chronicles of the Wolf is a tough game to review. A decade or so ago, 2D Metroidvanias were rarer, but they now represent one of gaming’s most enduring and best-developed genres. But how do I assess a production like this that purposefully ignores many of the design changes that made the…
The future is now (in your hand). Blaze’s HyperMegaTech brand has been pumping out Super Pocket handhelds for a while now, working with companies like Taito, Atari, Capcom and Technos to deliver budget-friendly and super-portable ways of leveraging the massive Evercade library.

Choosing a Mecha Break faction is a slightly perplexing affair—the mech-based battler offers you ten different options to choose from, each highlighted alongside a specific character.

Chances are that, unless you happened to read my personal GOTY pick from 2023 or just have generally excellent taste in videogames, you’re not too familiar with Stonks-9800 (which you can find on Steam). That’s a shame, because the early access stock-trading sim set in the salad days of ’80s Japan is an absolute banger—oozing…
Piloting massive tank-like mechs or nimble fighter jets is a blast by yourself in Mecha Break, but it’s always more fun sharing the chaos with others. Despite it being a fully multiplayer game, Mecha Break doesn’t actually make it easy to figure out how to play with friends. Adding and inviting friends to your lobby…
Yes, up, not down. Nintendo of Canada recently announced that it would be raising the price of pretty much all of its products and services excluding the Switch 2, with more concrete details to follow on 1st August 2025.

Even though Grow a Garden seems to be all about cultivating the best crops, getting a pet for your farm is something you’ll want to consider later down the line. Aside from being cute additions to your plot and adding a bit more character to your garden, a few pets can also add beneficial mutations…
Have you ever wanted to pop a pair of Joy-Cons on the side of your 12-inch laptop/tablet? Me neither, but creator Sskki_TheBlindDemon has done just that. The result is a gaming device that makes Nintendo’s already quite tiny controllers look even smaller. As shared by the official Framework X account, Sskki created a blog documenting…
