With the continued popularity of streaming, remote-working and voice chat in general, it’s no surprise that so many manufacturers are focussing their efforts on creating great microphones, and this year we’ve had quite a few cross our desks. But when it comes to the best of the best, these three candidates stand out as top…
Fashionably late or right on time? Canonical is on a mission to reinvent the personal mobile computing experience. That’s not hyperbole on our part, it’s Canonical’s way of describing the significance of its new and first Linux tablet, the Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition, which it’s launching in partnership with Spanish device maker BQ. It’s a…
At their core, sims are hedonistic little squirrels constantly meeting their needs one moment at a time without any ability to think through a sequence of actions. That’s by design, one Sims 4 developer says, but he always wanted sims to have a more thoughtful approach to their own lives when left to their own…
Blitz Royale is Fortnite’s newest mode, and players can’t get enough: it’s currently more popular than Fortnite’s core 100-player battle royale. I love its frantic firefights and, as I wrote at the start of the month, I hope it’ll be a gateway for new players to other game modes. It has a new map, faster…

The announcement was made via a one-minute-long video on Retroid’s…
What a success! Hamster Corporation and the video game developer Success have struck a deal to bring the 1991 arcade title Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams to the Nintendo Switch and PS4 this week as part of Arcade Archives. It will land on digital storefronts on November 28th and will mark the first time Success has…
A rebuild of a 34-year-old puzzle game on a console powerhouse doesn’t scream game of the year, does it? And yet here we are. And rightly so. Tetris Effect is an utterly compelling game for PS4, whether experienced in PS VR or not. The puzzler’s purity is unquestionably why it’s as playable in 2018 as…
Don’t pause! Press play! Bringing new music and new collaborations to Beat Saber is always so much fun and we are proud to welcome another popular video game title on board. There is something, what brings Beat Saber and Rocket League together: both well-known video game hits defining its genres; set in the futuristic dark…
I didn’t think there were many ways to make Shadows of Doubt a better detective game—aside from giving the whole thing a vigorous polish. ColePowered Games’ sleuthing simulator procedurally generates an entire city’s worth of crimes to solve, somehow creating genuine deduction puzzles out of a bucketful of random numbers.
