I’m a staunch defender of the dull, the drab, the plain, the ‘oh yeah, I didn’t notice that.’ And nothing has reminded me of my proclivity towards all things seemingly mundane than Computex 2025 and all the resultant ooh-ing and aah-ing over extravagant tech. I know, I know, tech shows are supposed to be gaudy…
This year’s Computex tech show in Taipei was filled with new and lavishly designed PC cases. Some big, some small, some in the shape of cats with swords from popular videogames. Yet one stood out to me more than most, and that’s the Havn BF 360. Available in black and white, Havn has stuck with…
How is it shaping up? Square Enix recently confirmed that Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake will be launching on the Switch and Switch 2 on 30th October 2025. As part of the Dragon Quest Day celebrations, several outlets have gone hands-on with the latest title to see how its shaping up in the…
Factory-sealed retail pack is part of Ewbank’s retro gaming auctions. UK auction house Ewbank’s has a massive haul of Nintendo-related items on its site as part of its growing retro game sales drive. Nintendo items going up for auction aren’t anything new, of course, but this lot includes some rather unusual and interesting items—with the…
For grumpy old Final Fantasy 14 enjoyers like myself who won’t stop banging on about how the game doesn’t have midcore content—good news! The game has midcore content now, and we can finally shut up until patch 8.0. Released in Patch 7.25 today, the Occult Crescent, a new Bozja-style exploration zone, is now open to…
Saber is part of the Fate/Stay Night collaboration happening in version 3.4 of Honkai: Star Rail. Unfortunately, you can’t claim her for free like Archer. Yeah, I’m pretty bummed about that too. Sorry Saber, looks like it’s over before your banner even begins—I have a Sunday rerun to save for. To make her the best…
They’re free, and arrive today. Nacon and Passtech Games have just announced that their well-reviewed isometric roguelike, Ravenswatch — which is currently sitting on a very healthy 84% (PC) over on Metacritic — will receive some lovely (or should that be lovestruck?) Romeo & Juliet DLC for free today. Now that really is true love….
Phainon is one of the most important characters in Amphoreus’ story arc in Honkai: Star Rail, and if you’re after a very strong Physical attacker of the Destruction path, then he might be just as important to your future team comps. To truly take advantage of his ‘Deliverer’ power, you’ll need to collect all of…
Nintendo’s only top-10 showing. We’re back with the latest look at the UK physical charts, and it has been another sleepy one for Nintendo — what a surprise… Yes, the wait for Switch 2 continues, naturally meaning fewer people are picking up titles for Switch 1. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the only showing from…
“It’s really been a bit of a dream come true”. With its varied mechs, persistent online world, and pioneering use of voice communication, 2006’s Chromehounds is the very definition of a hidden gem. It never achieved the same level of fame as its online rivals, and its servers were turned off in 2010, but the…
