“Thousands of people can’t be wrong for wanting this”. Back when Capcom’s side-scrolling brawlers were all the rage, the Japanese veteran produced the sublime Aliens vs. Predator for its CP System II arcade board. Considered something of a genre classic, the game was sadly never ported to any home system, and, at the time of…
About time, right? Nightdive Studios has confirmed that a new update for System Shock on Switch 1 and 2 is now available for download, bringing huge improvements to the game’s performance. Patch 2.1 has been applied across all available platforms to nuke any nasty bugs, but it’s Nintendo’s consoles that receive the most TLC. Performance…
“Available for the first time in 37 years”. The dust has only just settled on the 2026 edition of the Game Developers Conference, but The Video Game History Foundation is giving us the chance to blissfully drift back in time to the third such instalment of the (Computer) Games Developer Conference, recorded on audio tape…

Players have been crying out for some serious nerfs and overall balance changes in Marvel Rivals for quite some time…
Mamma mia! Put your hand up if you remember The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. Whether you do or you don’t, you’ll be able to catch up with the series from 30th March 2026 when it lands on MeTV Toons in the US. Yes, although the announcement doesn’t specify whether all of the episodes will…

When no Intel GPU appeared in the Crimson Desert system requirements, one might pick up the game anyway and just risk an unoptimised gaming experience. If you’re among the unlucky few with an…
SteamOS is what keeps the Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go S as some of the best handheld gaming PCs, despite the former’s outdated hardware. Valve’s own operating system is also set to power the forthcoming Steam Machine. Though it’s a Linux-based OS in its own right, with its own updates, and a big one…
Crimson Desert has finally arrived and, upon contact with the gaming public writ large, appears to be a mixed bag—we gave it an 80 in our Crimson Desert review, with our own Mollie Taylor dubbing it both “a game for the sickos” and “full of archaic design choices that only make sense when you remember…
