Launching on IndieGoGo soon. When we tested the AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01 recently, we found it to be a likeable mini-computer capable of low-level work-related tasks and lightweight gaming. The Chinese company chose the iconic Apple Macintosh as its design inspiration for that machine, but its follow-up is clearly based on the NES. The…
The pre-release saga of MindsEye, the debut game from former Rockstar Games stalwart Leslie Benzies and his Build a Rocket Boy studio, has taken another strange twist. As noticed today by Eurogamer, Build a Rocket Boy’s chief financial officer and chief legal officer have both left the company, just a week ahead of MindsEye’s release….
“We did still get to enjoy the Matrix Japanese premiere and afterparty”. The Wachowskis once approached Hideo Kojima to make a Matrix game in the late ’90s, but were reportedly shut down by one of the company’s higher ups, according to a former vice president of licensing at Konami Digital Entertainment. Following the release of…
Sometimes the cost of a big, open world is lower fidelity in each environment—not so in Red Dead Redemption 2, which manages to be both meticulously constructed and impossibly huge. More than that, Red Dead is a period piece of sorts taking place from 1899 to 1907; but who’s keeping score with all those fussy…
Take a look. Nintendo has discounted several Super Mario titles as part of its upcoming MAR10 Day celebrations (March 10th… Mar 10…. MAR10, get it?). Granted, the selection is hardly exhaustive and we’ve been treated to what seems to be the usual discount percentage with these game, but given how infrequently first-party games go on…
In 2006 Final Fantasy 12 was a brand new PlayStation 2 game, the Xbox 360’s hard drive was at least in spirit still an optional extra, and horse armour DLC was the biggest corporate issue surrounding Oblivion’s launch. I didn’t play the game back then because I thought I didn’t need to—I had Morrowind, a…
ohemia Interactive is in no rush to release Arma 4—the latest in its long line of hugely detailed military simulators—but when you have a game as successful as Arma 3 on your hands, you can afford to take your time. BI’s biggest and best milsim to date has kept players satisfied for more than a…
The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is spearheading a new generation of gaming mice. I’m not usually one for such grand pronouncements, but I really do think it is the case here; it will likely do for gaming mice what the Hall effect did for keyboards. Except Hall effect gaming keyboard switches were preceded by…
Pity the poor studio who dares release day-and-date with Grand Theft Auto 6. If you thought the countless indies who scrambled out of the way of Silksong’s launch in August was eye-opening, imagine the feeling of doom that would arise from having GTA 6 suddenly land in your release window. For studios planning a November…
I see my quarry across the laundry room: two armed guards ready to put this whole place on high alert if they see me. I slip behind the out-of-order soap dispenser and unscrew the back. There’s four bars of soap. Jackpot. Along the first patrol route, I slide a bar of soap. He slips and…
