Did you know Poland is the global epicenter for Atari computer nostalgia? Apparently, back in ’80s and early ’90s as the Soviet empire was crumbling, Atari computers were actually available at hard-currency stores in Poland and remained very popular even as decadent western consumers moved on to more modern machines. Anywho, this legacy probably explains…
It’s been a rough week for Elden Ring Nightreign. Not from a player count perspective: it’s absolutely flying off the shelves with over 3.5 million copies sold in just five days. But when it comes to performance, Nightreign has not held up to expectations. Aside from solo runs being nightmarish, one of the most frustrating…
It’s strange to think that once upon a time, Duke Nukem—Johnny Bravo’s sleazier cousin and poster child for videogame violence—was a cornerstone of gaming culture. No matter how inappropriate, he could be found on any and all platforms, from the original monochrome Game Boy to N64 and beyond. Time-travel misadventure Duke Nukem: D-Day (alternatively ‘Man…
Duke Nukem D-Day was in development in the early 2000s. A prototype build of Duke Nukem D-Day has appeared online, giving players the chance to check out a lost piece of the series’s history (thanks Vinícius Medeiros for the spot!). Duke Nukem D-Day was in development at n-Space and was set to be the third…
We speak to Paul Docherty about his new film Heart of Neon. There are few British video game developers (still working today) who can claim to have quite as interesting or as impressive a career as the Llamasoft founder Jeff Minter. For the last four decades, he has endured all manner of incidents and setbacks…
It’s not often a GPU cooler design makes me do a double-take, but here we are. The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8G Cyclone OC has made my head involuntarily rotate for two reasons this morning—firstly, because it looks wildly different to what you might think of when it comes to graphics card designs, and two,…
Snap happy. With the Switch 2’s new Pro Controller (and the new Charging Grip, actually), one of the biggest changes from its predecessor is the addition of the ‘GL’ and GR’ buttons on the back. Now, if you’re anything like us, then chances are these buttons probably won’t get a whole lot of use in…
The time has come around again for summer videogame showcases. Sony kicked things off with a State of Play on Thursday (the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster is real and coming to PC, yay) and the festivities continue on Friday with Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest livestream. When is the 2025 Summer Game Fest? You can…
Challenger Approaching! After 23 years, Super Smash Bros. Melee modders have finally made an old April Fool’s Joke a reality, by finally adding Tails & Sonic into the game. If you were a Nintendo fan or an avid reader of Electronic Gaming Monthly back in the day, you may recall coming across a section in…
The New 3DS XL’s price is only going one way, it seems. The gaming community might be losing its mind over the arrival of the Switch 2, but in some parts of the world, an older piece of Nintendo tech is commanding a similar price. As spotted by Pure Xbox’s Ben Kerry, the UK chain…
