If you’re the gacha gaming type, it’s almost time to add a new game to the daily rotation as the Neverness to Everness release date is almost here. NTE is the next free-to-play, open world action RPG from Hotta Studio—the same developer that launched the now reformed gacha Tower of Fantasy just a few years…
How a tiny British studio helped Nintendo fly in 3D. To celebrate the surprise announcement of a new Star Fox outing, we thought it would be a good idea to dig into the archives for previous features we’ve written on the series. 30 years ago, British engineering ingenuity and Japanese design savvy elegantly combined to…
I do a lot of prattling on about how videogame music is a core component of design. Its exclusion is like baking a cake without any sugar or sweetener. Sure, you can still eat it, but it’s not going to taste anywhere near as good without that syrupy twang. Something I don’t prattle too much…
There’s still nothing quite like the original Guild Wars. It came out before World of Warcraft had crystallized the face of the modern MMORPG, and was as inspired by Magic: The Gathering as it was by Everquest or Ultima. It turned out as more of a co-op ARPG with shared town hubs, dual-class deckbuilding, and…
The latest edition of Famitsu has arrived and contained within it is this week’s Nintendo most wanted video game charts. There’s no change at the top in this week’s edition as it is still The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 sitting pretty at No.1. The next Zelda title for Switch is followed…
Amazing Grace. The latest Japanese charts are in from Famitsu, and it has been quite the week for Leon Kennedy & co. Resident Evil Requiem has been hot off the mark in its debut week, selling over 155,000 units on PS5 and over 38,000 on Switch 2. This means Mario Tennis Fever has slipped down…
With mice sensors getting so ludicrously high-spec’d, some competitive gaming mouse brands are instead trying to make the shell as light as possible. Lighter = speedier. And Pulsar is finally joining the uber-lightweight mouse trend, with a 29 gram gaming mouse that is, well, half of a mouse. Effectively, the new X2F CrazyLight is just…
And Animal Well wins ‘Best Direction’. The 28th annual DICE Awards ceremony has recently taken place in Las Vegas, and though Astro Bot robbed Nintendo of any potential wins (perhaps deservedly, to be honest – it’s a bloomin’ good game), there were a few notable nods toward a couple of outstanding indie titles available on…

Before John Carmack, Tom Hall, and John Romero unleashed the blistering corridors of Wolfenstein, they cut their teeth on smaller 3-D experiments: Hovertank 3-D for DOS and the Apple II’s Catacomb 3-D, the latter running on an embryonic version of the engine that would become Carmack’s signature. Those initial outings were the scaffolding for something…
