Let it not be said that I am too precious when it comes to my takes, or that I am an inflexible grump—for one of my last acts before I scoot off for my Christmas hols, I am going to admit that I misjudged a game. The game in question is the spandex-heavy Marvel Rivals,…
Although AI is absolutely the main focus of Nvidia right now, with Jen-Hsun now referring to it as “an AI infrastructure company”, the green team hasn’t forgotten about gaming. The launch of the RTX 50-series graphics cards this year has certainly been a boon for the company and accounts for a huge increase in gaming…
Valve implemented age verification for Australian Steam users earlier this month, which was inevitable: Australian law demands it. Unfortunately, Valve has opted for the most brute force, user-negligent approach possible. To buy R18+ games on Steam in Australia—to even access their store pages—you need to provide a credit card.

Skip to the end. If you’ve seen The Super Mario Bros. Movie, then you’re probably already aware that it contains not one, but two additional scenes after the credits roll.

Skyrim is not an enormously realistic game. Yes, I’m brave enough to say it. Magic? Not real. Dragons? Largely undocumented. Guys who get hit repeatedly by arrows before returning to their usual patrol routes? This only rarely happens. These departures from humdrum reality exist to make the game more fun, so fair enough, but some…
Behind the scenes of this much-maligned GameCube title. To celebrate the surprise announcement of a new Star Fox outing, we thought it would be a good idea to dig into the archives for previous features we’ve written on the series. Although it’s hard to believe now, when Star Fox Adventures launched in 2002 (yes, it’s…
Nintendo announced earlier this week that the ink-tastic Splatoon 2 will be getting a special Super Mario themed Splatfest in January 2021. You can choose to be either Team Super Size or Team Invincibly. To celebrate the occasion Nintendo will be selling physical Splatfest T-shirts for Nintendo Switch Online members, which will be available for…
