A Bazaar choice.

"What a mess". Since taking office in January, the Trump administration has implemented a range of tariffs on goods being imported into the country. The introductions, which came into effect yesterday, include a 25% tariff on products from Mexico and a 20% tariff on goods from China (an additional 10% on what was initially implemented on 4th February), both of which have the potential to result in a price hike for consoles and accessories and, according to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, could b...

Giant vigorwasps are a kind of endemic life in Monster Hunter Wilds. They’re the same as the healing vigorwasps you’re probably used to seeing, but they’re, you know, giant. You’ll need to capture one as part of a side quest, “A Gutsy Move,” for your Palico. This is one of several side missions your palico...

Ranked matches, a battle mode that allows you to prove your deck and your own strength, are coming to Pokémon TCG Pocket. Battling against other trainers has been a staple of the Pokémon series, whether it was in-game vs. Youngster Joey or in-person with Pokémon Trading Cards. Pokémon TCG Pocket combines the two for a...

Whether it’s the booming soundtrack running at a million beats per minute, the fluid combat system, or the very cheesy story that permeates through each entry, Capcom's Devil May Cry is easily one of my favorite gaming franchises. Marrying together the combat of the classic God of War games with the razzmatazz of Bayonetta, the most recent entry, Devil May Cry 5 is one of the greatest action games I’ve ever experienced (if not my overall favorite), and you can now get it for less than $10 / £10.

Here's what you can expect from the upcoming dungeon revamp event.

It's been a lifetime since I read George Orwell's 1984 - a tale of mass surveillance, indoctrination and repression nowadays invoked to describe everything from Trump's Twitter ban to Pizza Express telling you that jelly-beans aren't a topping - but I will always remember how it combined role-playing with adventure gaming and brought the "detail of Riven into the real-time world of Quake". Oh, forgive me, I'm actually remembering Big Brother, a video game sequel to Orwell's book, which I have ne...

Peak fashion achieved.

Digg is getting another reboot with two of the most prominent names of the Web 2.0 era leading the charge. Founder Kevin Rose has bought it back for an undisclosed sum. Rose’s partner in this endeavor is a very interesting one. Alexis Ohanian, a co-founder of Reddit — which was at one point the site’s biggest rival — acquired Digg alongside Rose. They surely have hopes that Digg can go toe-to-toe with Ohanian’s former company once again. According to a press release, Rose and Ohanian “have teame...

Apple today updated the Mac Studio with mismatched M4 Max and M3 Ultra chip options. Naturally, this has led people to wonder why Apple opted for an M3 Ultra instead of an M4 Ultra chip, and the answer is fairly interesting. Apple told Ars Technica's Andrew Cunningham that not every generation of M-series chips for Macs will include an "Ultra" chip. "When asked why the high-end Mac Studio was getting an M3 Ultra chip instead of an M4 Ultra, Apple told us that not every chip generation will get a...

Square Enix has removed Denuvo anti-tamper from the Steam version of Final Fantasy 16, just a few months after the RPG finally came to Valve’s platform. The latest numbered game in the critically acclaimed FF series originally launched on PS5, but Square Enix has been making a more concerted effort recently to bring its tentpole releases to as many platforms as possible. With that, one of my favorite narrative experiences of the last few years no longer has Denuvo, if that ever kept you from div...

Sorry, it sold for how much..? A Flamin' Hot Cheeto shaped like Pokémon's Charizard has sold for a mind-boggling $87,840 at a recent auction on Goldin (thanks, Polygon). Yes, the 'Cheetozard' started off at $250 before receiving a staggering 60 bids from auctioneers before ending on 2nd March 2025 with a winning bid of $72,000 (with the buyer's premium bringing it up to $87,840).

Ever since it emerged on Magic: The Gathering’s professional tour in the early 2000s, the Commander format has been lovingly embraced by the game’s massive global community. So much so that today the publisher considers it to be the game’s most popular format. Walking the halls of MagicCon Chicago last month, the state of Commander...

Take note.

Ubisoft has detailed the exact moment you'll be able to begin pre-loading and then playing the long-awaited Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Sandstars are a special (and especially cute) kind of endemic life in Monster Hunter Wilds. You’ll need to capture one as part of a side quest, “Samin’s Special Research Report,” for Samin at the Windward Plains base camp late in the game (after the credits and during the High Rank section). This is the sixth...

Elon Musk discovered a simple 30-second “fridge trick” that can reverse diabetes, but the discovery has spooked pharmaceutical companies so much they put a $78 million bounty on his head, forcing the Tesla CEO to flee the country. At least, that’s what a collection of AI-generated Facebook ads claim. Facebook ads depicting deepfakes of Elon Musk and Fox News personalities claiming that the Tesla CEO has discovered the cure for diabetes have been circulating on the platform for weeks. The ads see...

Apple today announced the next of its M4 Mac models, but how much better really is the M4 chip over its predecessor? The M4 chip debuted in the iPad Pro last year, promising around 20% faster performance than the M3 chip in both single and multi-core tasks. All of the key differences between the two chip generations are listed below: M3 Chip (2023–2025) M4 Chip (2024–2025) Made using TSMC's 3nm technology (N3) Made using TSMC's enhanced ‌3nm‌ technology (N3E) Based on iPhone 15 Pro's A17 Pro chi...

Cities Skylines. Crusader Kings. Surviving Mars. Over the years, Paradox has either developed or published some of the most beloved strategy hits on PC. However, with the emergence of Manor Lords and the arrival of Civilization 7, competition is heating up, and now a new label, founded by Paradox veterans who have since left the studio, is also throwing its hat in the proverbial ring. You’ve perhaps heard of Kaiserpunk, the alternate-history, WW1-inspired city builder and grand strategy hybrid. ...

Playing with power. You're probably familiar with Taki Udon's work by now. The modder had previously managed to implement an OLED screen into the Switch Lite, and proceeded to sell the 'Super5' installation kits on the RetroRemake website. Now, however, with the help of fellow modder @AzkaliManad, the pair have gone one step further with their Switch Lite upgrades, implementing an OLED panel into the device that outputs at 1080p.

Wizards of the Coast is transforming its next Dungeons & Dragons starter set to be even more friendly to beginners, and to better hook its claws into them with the hope that they’ll develop a deeper love for the game. The new boxed Starter Set: Heroes of the Borderlands, coming out in September, includes several...

The catch? It's still a concept, for now...

I wasn’t impressed by the last pair of Technics earbuds I reviewed. The AZ70W was the first set to carry the iconic turntable brand’s logo after Panasonic relaunched it in 2014. The 2020 model did some things well for $250, but inconsistent audio performance kept them from being a serious contender. The company followed up in 2021 with two more wireless earbud options, and 2023’s AZ80 was well-regarded by many reviewers for its sound quality. For its 2025 model, Technics dug into its bag of tric...
