I’ve developed what I can only describe as a begrudging respect for Meta’s hardware output right now. I’ve bought almost every Meta headset to date, and unboxing the first one in the Summer of 2020 is definitely a highlight of my VR journey so far. However, Meta’s dominance in the market is soured somewhat by…
Way back in November 2023, Valve said that there was no suitable silicon available to enable a next-gen Steam Deck. In the wake of the company’s latest hardware trifecta, announced yesterday, Valve is saying exactly the same thing. In short, the kind of chips Valve would need to make a true Steam Deck 2 still…
In 1985 Sega released the sequel of Pitfall II: The Lost Caverns for the Arcade, which in itself was based upon Activision’s two home console games Pitfall!

This mission sees you heading to the Departure Building in the Spaceport and scrounging up some old medical records still stored there. The main challenge, honestly, is just finding the Medical Exam Room…
I was going to say that 2019’s Death Stranding is a singular experience, but I guess these days that’s no longer true. The game’s sequel was released on PS5 earlier this year, with the inevitable PC version yet to be given a release date, while two film adaptations—one live action, one animated—are in the works….
I spent a good chunk of my October telling anyone who’d listen to play Silent Hill f, even if they weren’t horror fans, the game was just too good to go unplayed. Convincing co-workers, friends, and strangers wasn’t too difficult until I’d mention the NG+ endings. Understandably, the idea of having to play through multiple…
Fashion is weird. So is brand loyalty, now I come to think of it, which Apple seems to be testing with its latest creation, the iPhone Pocket.
