I’m reaching between my knees to yank at the column-mounted gear lever of a tiny, cramped car that owners were so desperate to leave behind, they abandoned them in the streets of Prague en masse. How did I get here? The short answer is Jalopy. The idiosyncratic 2018 simulator, in which you drive and maintain…
“Maybe even 50 years from now, I might add something”. Stardew Valley is perhaps one of the best-supported indie games of all-time with Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone now working on the title for over 12 years. While there have been questions raised about the farming and lifestyle sim’s future now that the creator’s attention has (mostly)…
Here’s some videogame news you don’t see every day. The Royal Shakespeare Company, known mainly for its contemporary adaptations of the Bard’s plays, has announced a video game adaptation of MacBeth.

Look, everybody has a weakness, and there hasn’t been a good Terminator film in over…
As someone who struggled to beat Elden Ring on its standard difficulty, I’m constantly amazed by the streaming community’s ability to wrestle FromSoftware’s RPG to the ground with a reality-defying number of limbs tied behind its back. Whether that’s MissMikkaa beating the game all the way through to NG+7 with a level 1 character, or…
Swing, king. This week might not have brought us the Switch 2 bonanza that dominated the last, but there was still plenty to talk about in the world of Nintendo. We got a teeny, tiny development update from the Silksong team (turns out, the game is still real) and chatted all things space with Citizen…
It will be a “NS 2 must have”. Take this one with a grain of salt, but Lexar has apparently announced it’s releasing a new ‘microSD Express’ card for Switch 2. This information was originally shared by Lexar China on social media (via Famiboards), with additional details revealing it’s a “1TB express card” releasing in…
