They’ve been announced, we’ve got a couple of them in-hand and humming away in the test rig as I type, and the new RTX 40-series Super cards will all be available for us to buy by the end of the month. But as much as the Ada refresh is welcome, it’s hard not to see…
“It’s going to be amazing!”. Last year, the legendary Super Mario voice actor Charles Martinet retired from the role and was replaced by Kevin Afghani, who went on to voice the famous plumber in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The same talented voice actor also took on the voice of Wario in the new WarioWare game….
Celebrated Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu did not mince words when asked about his stance on using generative AI to make music in a recent interview with JASRAC Magazine.

The Colossus of Maroussi, Henry Miller’s travelogue of Greece, was meant to inspire my visit to Heraklion’s Video Games Museum but teargas blurred that vision.

If there’s one thing Disney Dreamlight Valley knows how to do well, it’s an expansion. Between A Rift in Time and The Storybook Vale, the worlds brought to life outside of your standard valley have been undeniably enchanting. But after spending time exploring Wishblossom Ranch and meeting its inhabitants, there’s an absolutely unfathomable amount of…
Iron Lung has just had a major update that includes a ‘Markiplier mode’. This indie horror game grew in popularity after the YouTuber did a full playthrough last year that gained over 8 million views, and he enjoyed it so much that he is currently directing and starring in an Iron Lung film adaptation.

It took a community to build Communities for PS4. Clan support on a console sounds easy enough to do, but consider… it’s never been done before, and maybe for good reasons. It’s big. It’s messy.
