Our month-long RTS tournament is coming to an end. We started with a shortlist of 16 units, and now we’re down to the final two—both of which were determined by your votes. This is what democracy is all about, folks! Determining what RTS unit has the right to call itself the greatest unit of all…
Tricks of the shade. The farming-sim genre needed Village in the Shade. The horror-tinged cosy game plays all the right beats to slot seamlessly into the library of farming adventures that seemingly come out every month. In fact, its visuals, mechanics, soundtrack, and overall feel would make it one of the better cosy titles to…
Onward and upward! Adding to what is surely the most stacked roster of lifetime achievements, Shigeru Miyamoto is set to be awarded the prestigious Order of Culture award next month. The award, which first began way back in the 1930s, will be given by the Emperor of Japan on the nation’s Culture Day (3rd November),…
The Genshin Impact 7.2 livestream codes have arrived, providing a bit of bonus currency to use when wishing on the new characters coming in this version.

When iam8bit announced its Legacy Cartridge Collection for Sonic and Sonic 2 on Sega Genesis a few months back, it’s safe to say that most people were taken aback by the price. Available via iam8bit’s official store page, each cartridge — complete with authentic case, instruction manual, and poster —…
Housemarque and Nixxes developed Saros in close collaboration; one area was developing the set-piece bosses. Housemarque brought the creative vision, world, combat language, visual concepts, and signature bullet-hell DNA. Nixxes brought the bosses to life through encounter design, animation, environments, lighting, and technical implementation. The result was a set of encounters designed to challenge players,…
Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting also en route. A film based on SNK’s long-running franchise Samurai Spirits/Samurai Shodown is currently in pre-production. The project is being touted by new studio “The Arena“, helmed by former Lionsgate and Sony Pictures executive Erik Feig. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, the Samurai Shodown project is the…
I reported on a missing shipment of RTX 5090s earlier this week, with two pallets worth of the highly-prized graphics cards presumably stolen from a Brazilian airport. Now new details of what looks to be a heist have emerged, and one of the GPUs has reportedly ended up on a second-hand marketplace. GMC Online reports…
