I don’t know exactly why, but the idea of setting up trade routes is like catnip to me. Little horse-drawn wagons? Shipments of lumber or wool or vegetables? Resources trundling between cities? Yeah, I’ll play a game where that happens. Let Them Trade, as you can probably guess from the title, is all about that…
“You cheated not only the game, but yourself”. Super Smash Bros. just got a native PC port, but the news hasn’t gone over all that well with many members of the retro community, thanks to the tools used to achieve it. TheWizWiki has been very open and transparent that the port is “100% Al-generated” and…
Mushrooms are the coolest. Not quite flora, not quite fauna, they are a secret third thing—isn’t that neat? Many types of fungi have also been observed to form symbiotic relationships with the root systems of plants. Sometimes mutualistic, sometimes parasitic, this root-meets-fungus network is called ‘Mycorrhiza’—and a similar web of mycelium may one day come…
You’ll flip. Last year, I reviewed the Anbernic RG35XX SP, an emulation handheld which was modelled after Nintendo’s legendary GBA SP device. As is so often the case in this sector of the market, the RG35XX SP isn’t the only option available if you like a clamshell portable, and Anbernic rival Miyoo has released its…
I’m an old man. I’ve created many an autoexec.bat and config.sys file in my life, vividly remember plugging in my first 3D accelerator card with pass-through cables through a Matrox Mystique GPU, and have benchmarked practically every graphics card released since 2006. And the appearance of this gorgeous new Galax graphics card (via Videocardz) this…
If you’re looking for some spooky games, some fast ways to drive away from anything spooky, or just some great games to load up and dive into the story… have I got some recommendations for you! We’ve got some games available today for you to check out, some more coming soon, and even a reminder…
Sometimes, it’s nice to remember that videogames can be a force for good in the world—as is the case with Jingle Jam, a charity event founded by The Yogscast that’s already pulled in £750,000 in its first evening. At the time of writing, that number’s already jumped to £1,400,000. Not a bad start, not bad…
Pentiment is a very, very good videogame, and one of the most interesting things Obsidian’s put out this decade (though I liked Avowed quite a lot). Now, we’re sufficiently far enough past its release that people like director Josh Sawyer—a name you’ll recognise from Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and an all-timer Dolly Parton…
Hey Xbox Insiders! We have a new Xbox Update Preview releasing to the Delta ring today. It’s important we note that some updates made in these preview OS builds include background improvements that ensure a quality and stable build for Xbox consoles. We will continue to post these release notes, even when the noticeable changes…
Here’s something I didn’t know about Trash Goblin, a cozy shopkeeping sim featured in today’s PC Gaming Show 2025: one of the characters who regularly comes into your shop is a hopeless romantic who also happens to be a mushroom. Their name is, perfectly, Mushromeo. Mushromeo does not exactly cut the image of an irresistible…
