Paradissonant. To some, the concept of Rhythm Paradise (or Rhythm Heaven as it likes to be called) is a bit of a hard sell. It’s a rhythm game with the most simplistic controls imaginable, often just a single button, coupled with some simple animations to go along with it. I don’t blame anyone for being…
The Kickstarter is now live. Last week, Bit Beam Software (the company behind DaemonClaw) published a playable preview of John Tsakiris and Enable Software’s upcoming beat ’em up, Metro Siege, which is being developed for the Amiga 500 (thanks @dantemendes for the spot!). Metro Siege, in case you’ve never heard about it, is a 2-player…
“We are honoured to be standing on the shoulders of giants”. After it was announced earlier this week that Velan Studios was the new developer of Star Fox (2026), Argonaut Software, the co-developer of the original 1994 SNES title, has reached out on social media to congratulate the studio for “bringing our boys back,” “pass…
I love a strange keyboard, or a weird controller (here’s looking at you Victrix Pro BFG), but I’ve discovered I might be a bit more traditional about my gaming mouse preferences, if this DIY fingertip mouse is anything to go on. To be fair, it could be the whole ‘spider-like mouse where you can see…
Ships in 24-48 hours.

The set, which costs $99.99, will go on sale on June 12th at 8am PDT….
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). They are spending money…
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…
We managed to get hands-on experience with Framework’s new “MacBook Pro for Linux users” just last week, and we were mighty impressed with it. If you, too, were impressed and placed your preorders for its June release, I have some bad news. It’s now going to be released one month later. In an email sent…
Welcome to the future, where there’s always a camera lens within arm’s reach. I’ll park my wider-ranging rant about surveillance culture for the time being and attempt to just focus on the news story that’s most recently made me consider stepping on to the soap box: the facial recognition system that was at one point…
