With our huge Days of Play promotion about to kick off and E3 around the corner, there’s never been a better time to be part of the PlayStation family. Our new campaign is called “Play Fearlessly,” and it’s an invitation to come play in our world. The TV spot, which just debuted, tells a unique…
The moment I hit publish on this poll I knew what the top result would be. I don’t care what the Steam Hardware Survey has to say about the dominant resolution in its database, I knew that PC Gamers would be 1440p gamers in the majority. And lo, it has come to pass. Most of…
The “overriding factor” is money. There have been ongoing requests over the years for the revival of Rare’s famous bear and bird duo Banjo-Kazooie, but will fans ever see this series return? The game’s composer Grant Kirkhope already spoke about this earlier in the year – mentioning how he had “zero hope” for a new…
Battery startup BMX (Better Mobile Xperience) claims that some airlines are now banning standard lithium-ion batteries due to safety concerns. Whether that’s true, more on which in a sec’, its new solid-state USB-C charging pack does look interesting, especially once you’ve seen BMX drive a nail through it and have it allegedly keep on working….

There’s a long tradition of connections between Dungeons & Dragons and the videogames based on it. Pool of Radiance, the 1998 videogame that kicked off the Gold Box series, was also released as a pen-and-paper adventure called Ruins of Adventure in the same year. More recently, Baldur’s Gate 3 incorporated parts of the adventure Baldur’s…
Here’s my confession: I think I prefer System Shock 2 to Deus Ex. Not that I don’t love JC Denton like a son, mind you, it’s just that SS2’s creepy hallways and pitch-perfect antagonists have taken root in my heart forever. So I gotta be honest, of all the whizzbang announcements spilling out of the…
A Galaxy of goodies. As expected, Nintendo spent a good chunk of its latest Direct presentation focusing on the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. with a host of announcements both big and small. The platforming icon celebrates his big four-zero on 13th September 2025 and, while we didn’t get the brand-new 3D Mario that…
