If you’re planning on swinging your oversized sword around “The Planet” when the PC port of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth releases on January 23, you might need to say goodbye to some other games to make room—and perhaps take a look at upgrading some older components, too. The system requirements are here, and that big…
Hello! I’m Matt Denomme, Senior Product Manager at En Masse Entertainment. I’m excited to introduce you to an amazing new MMORPG experience now available on PS4—Tera! En Masse publishes Tera on PC, but we always saw tremendous potential for the game on console. Two years ago, we set out with the developers at Bluehole to…
In the world of science, SI prefixes are sacrosanct. Well, unless you happen to be a computing scientist, in which case the choice of prefix—mega vs mebi—can be a little controversial.

Strike! For the longest time, I was convinced that Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 was the peak of the twin-stick arcade genre. It took what the original XBLA game did so well and perfected the formula, delivering an experience that was easy to grasp yet difficult to master. Imagine my surprise, then, to discover that…
Return of the Smash Joy-Con. Just last week Nintendo revealed perhaps the least surprising Switch OLED bundle for the holiday season which packs in a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and thus continues the deal that we have seen for many years now. But, according to an image that is doing the rounds…
What with overheating issues and the reality that raw bandwidth only gets you so far, suffice to say that the latest generation of PCIe Gen 5 SSDs haven’t exactly blown our socks off. So what to make of news that SSD controller specialist SiliconMotion is already deep into development with its Gen 6 technology? In…
