Hello, Hello Kitty. Hello folks, and good job on making it through another week! It’s been a big week for Pokémon, with Thursday unveiling the latest Pokémon Presents. We got our first good look at Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the reveal of Pokémon Champions, and a whole bunch of other announcements that some people care about,…
Please help me. It was the Christmas of 1992. Mr Blobby was the funniest thing on television (according to your parents), and Whitney Houston had been tricked into singing a love song about everyone’s favourite sentient cardigan, Kevin Costner (I feel like I’m having a war flashback now). And me? Well, I was having a…
Two months after annoying everyone by promising that its development team was still “hard at work” on “exciting things” for Starfield that it refused to talk about, Bethesda rolled out a decidedly unexciting new update in Steam beta that adds a Very Low display setting, makes a few changes to the Creation Kit, and fixes…
The “true” kill screen has been reached. NES Tetris might be 35 years old this year, but it’s still a mainstay of the competitive Tetris scene, which has been surprisingly active over the past decade. This is because, during that time, new techniques were discovered that have allowed the world’s best Tetris players to set…
I remember when prices collapsed for solid state drives. It started slow at first, but before we knew it, most PCIe 4.0 SSDs were tumbling into our shopping baskets with nary a second thought. Fond memories. Thankfully, any attempt to increase Gen4 SSD prices since then have largely failed, with drives like the Biwin Black…

Most Long-Winded Title, Best Switch Icon, and more! As we approach the end of 2023, naturally, there’s going to be a metaphorical flood of features and lists counting down the very best games of the year. We’ve already presented our picks, and you lovely lot have presented yours, but now it’s time to have a…
We’re celebrating the adventurous antics of Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi sequel. For more awards, head to our Game of the Year 2023 hub. Robert Jones, Print Editor: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was bigger and better than Fallen Order in every way, but it was how it seemed to honour the Star Wars PC game greats…
Our favourite city builder of 2024, Manor Lords, is having a pretty great 2025 as well. Following a meaty update that introduced a pair of new maps, bridges, building upgrades and a bunch of fixes, it’s now hit the 3 million sales mark. Not bad for solo developer Slavic Magic—though that characterisation did net the…
“I hope you’ll watch it over and over”. Pokémon Concierge is now available to watch in its entirety on Netflix (and it’s really quite good, you know), and to celebrate, the streaming platform has released a short ‘making of’ documentary on YouTube. Clocking in at just under four minutes in length, the documentary takes us…
