Junior Jungle Japes. Ok, let’s see. The original Donkey Kong first released into arcades in 1981, where it became a smash hit that also happened to introduce us to two of Nintendo’s most enduring mascots in the form of a great big agitiated ape and some springy little plumber guy. The game, in this very…
“I finally tried Apple’s Vision Pro. I have to say before this I expected that Quest would be better value,” reveals Meta CEO and social media mega-magnate Mark Zuckerberg. “But after using it, I don’t just think that Quest is better value. It’s the better product, period.” Well, there’s a shock. In a video posted…
Playing Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor’s demo last year, I already felt like I’d discovered a promising vein of gold. Playing a preview of the game’s full Early Access build this week has been like digging through and finding a whole glittering cavern of riches. As a big fan of Vampire Survivors-inspired games, I think this…
The Ninjas were quick, but not quick enough. If yesterday’s Splatoon 3 news wasn’t enough to convince you that a full-fat February Nintendo Direct is probably off the cards, then perhaps this will be: it looks like another Princess Peach: Showtime! trailer is set to come our way today.

Gathering the new Resplendent Sparks resource in Diablo 4 is one way that you can skip the Uber Unique grind—if you’ve already amassed some spare Uber Uniques, that is. Perhaps you went super hard on Duriel when he had his drop rate boost? Either way, you can now get rid of those spare copies in…
Helldivers 2, a solid third-person co-op shooter about blasting bugs, has been doing damn well for itself—too well, in fact, slamming right into the ceiling of Steam’s global top sellers chart like a kid who didn’t expect mentos to mix with coke quite so explosively. As a result, there have been some hefty server and…
