The ever-spiralling cost of computing components is not exactly news. But the big question is how much longer this will all continue. Unfortunately, a new interview by the BBC with TSMC, the company that manufactures so many of the chips that go into our PCs, suggests there’s plenty more to come. TSMC’s Chief Financial Officer,…
In a downright intriguing turn of events, it looks like real money trading (RMT) gold sellers—whose peddling of gold for actual cash is against World of Warcraft‘s terms of service—have taken to the streets of WoW Classic Anniversary to advertise casino games as a way of raking in cash (thanks, WoWHead).

It’s rare that I review something that I would actually buy right at this moment in time. Even if it’s a good product that I recommend, it’s usually out of my own budget or just not quite at the top of my PC priority list compared to other upgrades. But with the Alienware AW2525HM, I…

Well, since then, it appears its creator, Gonçalo…
Before a full release in September. Craving something in the vein of Donkey Kong Country after beating Nintendo’s latest NSO DK Challenge? Well, Microids’ Marsupilami 2 – Salsa Palombia might just scratch that itch. Based on the Belgian comic book by André Franquin and developed by Ocellus Services, this sequel to the 2021 game is…
“The first half of a two part saga”. One of the many surprises of the latest Nintendo Direct was the announcement Ninjala would be making a comeback next year with a sequel. Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet will arrive “exclusively” for the Switch 2 in Spring 2027, and promises to delivers the series’ “first-ever open…
Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018, which was eight long years ago. The gap between Skyrim’s release and that announcement was only seven years.
