Limited Run has dropped a new video teaser showing off its upcoming release of Gex Trilogy.

Life sim sickos unite.

Who stole the rest of GTA 5?

Braver than the troops.

Good. Good to know.

Do ya like jazz?

Playing Total War: Warhammer 3's Kislev campaign on release was one of the best storified strategy game times I've had in years, launch issues be thrice-damned, triple cooked, and three times a lady. But the Slavic bulwark against stinky, angry, tricksy and horny invaders has lost some lustre since. The details in Creative Assembly's latest blog are still a work in progress, but give a solid idea of how Kislev as a faction are changing in a patch due mid-March.

AMD have finally confirmed pricing, dating, and specs-ing for their first RDNA 4 graphics cards. The Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT will be out on March 6th, and start from $549 and $599 respectively. While these are still relatively fat stacks o' cash, AMD say they’ll compete with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti – and considering the latter is supposed to start at $749, with most models currently going for above $800, that could make for a tasty undercutting.

All the way back in 2021, Netflix seemed like it was finally making good on its promise to change the way we watch movies. It had already found the (increasingly less successful) binge model for TV, and the experimental Fear Street franchise was supposed to be a shot at giving movies a similarly relentless release...

Picking between Lödwyn or Ryngrim in Avowed‘s “Shadow of the Past” quest leaves you with no good options. People suffer no matter what you do, and your companions hold a bit of a grudge in one outcome, despite offering little help guiding you toward a decent choice. Unlike some big choices in Obsidian’s RPG, this...

Deciding whether to have the Emerald Stair animancers relocate to Thirdborn or Paradis in Avowed seems like a choice with a major outcome during the “Ancient Soil” quest, but that’s only halfway true. The outcome is influential – though you never get the chance to see it until later. Unlike most of Avowed‘s important choices,...

“Nature vs. Nuture” is a side quest in Avowed that highlights the divisions in Emerald Stair between animancers and everyone else. In a dispute over farming methods, you have to decide which side is right. This sounds low-stakes, but things quickly turn violent depending on your choices. At the end of it all, though, you...

“That Which Remains” is a side quest in Avowed that, like many side quests in Avowed, poses a choice with seemingly no good outcome. This Shatterscarp side quest sees you investigate the folly of a group of researchers and explore possible ways to save them from it, though no choice ends with making everyone happy....

Game on, folks. Game on.

Monster Hunter Wilds makes for a confusing PC release, with staggeringly poor performance on lower-end graphics cards - to the extent that we don't recommend the game at all on these systems - and relatively meagre visual rewards given the performance requirements. That's a harsh assessment, but it's unfortunately a justified one based on the profound performance problems here that must be addressed.

Polygon sat down with writer Kelly Thompson earlier this week to discuss her best-selling Absolute Wonder Woman, which she co-created with artist Hayden Sherman — but we couldn’t help asking about another of her comics co-creations who has been making a big splash lately: Jeff the Land Shark, who appears in Marvel Rivals.  We asked...

Microsoft today announced that it will officially retire Skype on May 5, 2025, concluding its 14-year tenure as the owner of the once-dominant internet calling and messaging service (via Bloomberg). Microsoft acquired Skype in 2011 for $8.5 billion in what was then its largest-ever acquisition. At its peak, Skype had more than 300 million monthly active users and was synonymous with internet-based voice and video calling. The service steadily declined in relevance in recent years, with its activ...

There is bad news for anyone hoping to play Assassin's Creed Shadows on the Steam Deck as the technology director for the game confirms that it won't be compatible, at least not on release day. While the Steam Deck is still the best handheld gaming PC for most, it's aging hardware and limited power is starting to become an issue for anyone hoping to play the latest triple-A games. The Assassin's Creed Shadows system requirements cover everything up to ultra ray tracing, and Ubisoft believes ther...

A new Witcher novel is due out later this year, from original author Andrzej Sapkowski, which will follow a teen Geralt.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 transports you to the heart of 15th century medieval Europe for a deeply immersive, story-led action RPG. While it drops you into the lifestyle of the time, ultimately you’re still playing a videogame, meaning that there are myriad convenient features that help make your life easier. But that’s all about to change. Developer Warhorse Studios had previously teased the potential for a KCD2 hardcore mode, and now it’s revealed exactly what that looks like and roughly when...

Well sure, why not? Pokémon's no doubt been at the forefront of everybody's minds this week as we finally got our first proper glimpse at Pokémon Legends: Z-A ahead of its launch later this year. As part of the wider Pokémon Day celebrations, the BBC recently caught up with The Pokémon Company's CEO, Tsunekazu Ishihara, to discuss the franchise and its future. Crucially, Ishihara reckons that Pokémon has the potential to reach its 100th anniversary, so long as the company maintains focus on its ...

Oh, and you may need to actually get an SSD.

The Triumphant Light cards are out now Pokémon TCG Pocket, adding 96 new cards to the competitive mobile game. The Triumphant Light expansion offers one new booster pack with Arceus as the figurehead Pokémon plus a new battle mechanic in the form of Link Abilities. This expansion is roughly the same size as the Mythical...

Apple's new entry-level iPhone 16e has inherited the Action button first seen on the iPhone 15 Pro and now found on all iPhone 16 models. The Action button replaces the traditional Ring/Silent switch – a staple of the iPhone since it launched in 2007. For users unfamiliar with the Action button, here's a rundown of its functions – including one that is (currently) exclusive to iPhone 16e. The Action button replaces the single-function switch used to toggle between ring and silent, offering addit...

Apple is collaborating with the National Hockey League (NHL) to equip on-ice officials with Apple Watches featuring an app designed to help officiating during games (via The Verge). The NHL Watch Comms app allows referees to receive in-game updates by syncing with the NHL's Oasis system. Officials can track the game clock and receive alerts for key game events without diverting their focus. This allows referees to avoid locating video boards while officiating. The app includes haptic feedback to...

I’m almost intimidated by GTA 6 - I’ve been covering games for the best part of 15 years now, but it’s hard to remember a launch where there’s this much anticipation and expectation. Before Rockstar goes back to Vice City, however, there’s one last big change coming to the Grand Theft Auto 5 PC version. Better visuals, improved menus, new vehicles, and updated controls are all part of the impending next-gen update. With the GTA 5 Enhanced Steam page already live, you can get even better prepared...

YouTube channel REWA Technology today shared an iPhone 16e teardown video, providing a look inside Apple's new entry-level smartphone. In its iPhone 16e announcement video, Apple said the device has a new internal design that allowed for a larger battery. The video shows that the iPhone 16e has a 4,005 mAh battery capacity, which is a 12% increase compared to the regular iPhone 16 with a 3,561 mAh battery capacity at the same voltage. For those who prefer watt-hours as a unit of measurement, the...

It is kind of strange to think of Lord of the Rings as a media franchise. Though there have been many adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work, they have really only come from two sources — the Lord of the Rings books and The Hobbit. Whether straight adaptations like the Peter Jackson trilogies, the Ralph Bakshi...

The only surprise in Amazon’s reveal of Alexa+ this week was the price. With inflation rampant and many more impactful subscription services to choose from, $20 per month is an absolutely bonkers price for an as-yet unproven AI chatbot. Recall that Alexa has historically not cost anything as long as you've had hardware to run it. The same goes for Google Assistant (and now the basic version of Gemini) as well as Apple’s Siri. They’ve always been tools to enhance hardware, not the product itself....

The post Next Week on Xbox: New Games for March 3 to 7 appeared first on Xbox Wire.

PUBG: Blindspot, the first proper PUBG spin-off, is a bit of an oddity. Despite the Steam page for its Next Fest demo saying the game was "inspired by PUBG: Battlegrounds", and has a dinky little PUBG sticker above its logo to prove it's part of the wider PUBG universe, it's pretty clear from the second you choose a character and jump into a 5v5 Demolition match that another game has been a much bigger inspiration here: namely, Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege.

Anyone know how to slice it up into GPUs?

The Totem of Perseverance is one of Avowed’s four god totems — collectibles that grant boons based on how many pieces you find. The Totem of Perseverance is the god totem for the Galawain’s Tusks region. All seven fragments of the Totem of Perseverance are hidden around Galawain’s Tusks and its capital, Solace Keep. As...

AMD does have eyes for the entry-level market after all.
