Which box can’t wait to be king? Hello, and welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl, folks! Before we get cracking, let’s take a peek at what went down last week. The delightful Wario Land: Shake It! entered the ring with a classic three-way brawl. It was, expectedly, a tense battle, but the…
Overcooked! 2 players no longer have to wait to get their hands on Winter Wonderland, which is available now as a free update on Nintendo Switch. This update implements brand-new seasonally dressed kitchens inspired by Campfire Cook Off, Night of the Hangry Horde and Carnival of Chaos. It also introduces the following additional content: New…
Surveillance culture is bleak. Just this weekend I saw this charming animated ditty pitching self-described ‘Family Safety App’ Life360, in which a mother sings about all the awful things that could happen to her child and location tracking is proffered as a panacea. Blegh. Even worse, a recent US court ruling involving Life360’s own corporate…
Keep the extensions coming. Aside from the usual track additions, Nintendo occasionally performs Nintendo Music updates to tweak the content that’s there, rather than adding anything new. One such patch has been applied today, focusing on letting us all play tunes for longer. As brought to our attention on BlueSky by OatmealDome, the music app…
To paraphrase some lyrics from my mispent youth pining for a Hot Topic, ‘this ain’t a scene, it’s a goddamn AI arms race’. The preview of DeepSeek V4 is now live, and given that the AI giant was reportedly not so keen to grant Nvidia and AMD early access to the new model, the American…
Or just misunderstood? It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since the Nintendo DS launched, yet here we are. It’s been even longer since it was revealed too, with the newly-appointed VP of sales and marketing Reggie Fils-Aimé taking to the stage at E3 2004 to showcase Nintendo’s vision for the future of…
Starting with the Totem of Rightful Rulership fragments in Dawnshore, each region in Avowed has a unique totem to find and repair. These send you galavanting across the land, scouring every nook and cranny for fragments you can use to piece them back together–a feat you’ll want to accomplish as soon as possible thanks to…
As Maxar Intelligence’s WorldView Legion satellite sped over China, it snapped a picture of the Dingxin airbase below. In that photo, a surprise. No, not a giant middle finger etched into the sandy ground by the Chinese military—though you could see why that might happen—rather, a SpaceX Starlink satellite speeding through the frame. WorldView Legion…
Limited Run Games has stated that Castlevania Anniversary Collection for Nintendo Switch will get a physical release this fall. The news was announced during the Limited Run Games stream which happened yesterday. The Castlevania: Anniversary Collection is also coming this fall to Sony’s PlayStation 4 system.
I sometimes wonder how Valve, which released over 20,000 new games on Steam in 2025 alone, can possibly be checking every single one of those games for potentially questionable content before they go up for sale. That’s almost 400 new games per week to keep an eye on—a task that would require a whole lot…
