Thanks to retro company MyArcade. Sega’s Western CEO Shuji Utsumi may have shot down the idea of emulation-based mini-consoles for Saturn and Dreamcast, but that doesn’t mean we’re not getting any Sega-related micro-hardware full stop. Retro hardware firm MyArcade has just announced that it has signed a deal with Sega to produce “retro gaming devices…
Hello everyone! 2024 was another incredible year for indie games, and today, I’m very excited to share 11 of my favorite titles that were released on PlayStation this year. Pacific Drive Pacific Drive is a ‘road-lite’ survival game, where you navigate a stormy, mysterious forest with your car as your only companion. Each time you…
How Nintendo World Championships helped me ‘git gud’. I’ll admit, I’ve never been fond of speedrunning. The thought of shaving milliseconds off a time in a video game while playing the same sequence over and over sounds, in theory, more frustrating than fun. Sure, as a spectator, there is definitely joy in appreciating the wizardry…
“The ultimate version of the project”. Japan was once famous for its arcades, and while it still has some amazing game centres, they sadly represent a dying breed. That’s what inspired Víctor Alonso to create The Last Game Centers 最後のゲーセン, a photographic record of these legendary locations. Read the full article on timeextension.com “The ultimate…
I’m a smitten kitten. And it’s nothing to do with the fetching red clothing of the version of the new OneXFly F1 Pro I’ve been testing, either. Which is a good job, because this Evangelion EVA-02 version isn’t available outside of China, so if that was the real kicker you guys would be out of…
Merry Alex-mas, ya filthy animal. Third time’s a charm, as they say. Yes, we’re back with our third and final look at our video team’s top five Switch games of 2024. It’s worth repeating here that these aren’t necessarily games that launched in 2024, but are merely games that the video chaps played in 2024….
Yu Suzuki is believed to have been involved. The late pop icon Michael Jackson wasn’t just a gamer – he was a keen fan of Sega and collaborated with the Japanese company multiple times during the ’90s. Sega would adapt the Moonwalker movie into a series of video games and would later work with Jackson…
Bethesda’s tenure as the ruler of Fallout’s Wasteland has brought with it massive changes: the first-person perspective, FPS combat, base building, its transformation into a survival MMO. Since Fallout 3, the series has gone off in a bunch of different directions, most of them distinct from the original vision of Fallout’s creators. Tim Cain—who initially…
Nasir Gebelli has been off-grid since the ’90s. It’s fair to say that without Final Fantasy, Square (and later, Square Enix) wouldn’t be the same company it is today. Hironobu Sakaguchi’s creation has become a million-selling behemoth that straddles the world of games, movies, music and more, but it arguably wouldn’t have gotten off the…
Ready or Not is an intense and realistic tactical FPS where mistakes usually have violent consequences. But the upcoming Dark Water DLC has upped the ante with complex new maps and a new AI that’s way too intelligent for my liking. Like any other map in Ready or Not, you get a choice of where…
