So, not much has changed then.

A brieboard? Charcuterkey? Key(cheese)board? Okay, maybe not that last one.

The great unknown? Yup, you guessed it, tariffs.

Before Space Marine 2 stomped onto our PCs in 2024, Warhammer 40k Darktide was my go-to for futuristic Chaos-smashing action, and the co-op FPS game still feels the most replayable of its ilk, standing alongside its Warhammer fantasy sibling Vermintide 2 as a mighty, meaty offering to keep you and your friends in the thick of things. Developer Fatshark has been hard at work improving Darktide since launch with a series of updates, and now it gives us a comprehensive look at many of the big chang...

The second lunar lander by Intuitive Machines has made its way to the Moon, but not without incident. The Athena vehicle may not be upright, which is what happened to the company’s Odysseus lander upon touchdown back in February. CEO Steve Altemus said during the post-landing news conference that he doesn’t believe that Athena is “in the correct attitude on the surface of the Moon yet again.” Altemus said that the company will know for sure in the coming days once the team gets “a picture from t...

I think there's something wrong with my cat.

Apple's new M3 Ultra chip can be configured with a massive 80-core GPU, and an early benchmark result offers a look at its graphics performance. In one Geekbench 6 result for the new Mac Studio, the M3 Ultra with an 80-core GPU achieved a Metal score of 259,668, up from 222,582 for the M2 Ultra chip with a 76-core GPU in the previous-generation Mac Studio.

Cubone used Hug. There's nothing quite like a cute Pokémon plush to bring a smile to the face, is there? Well, this new range arriving in Japan's Pokémon Centers next week might just be the cutest of the bunch (thanks, NintendoSoup). The "Brrr... Squish! Plush Toys" series (at least, that's the way Google Translate puts it) will arrive in the Tohoku Pokémon Center's re-opening preview on 13th March before landing on Japan's Pokémon Center website the following morning.

Animal Well, last year’s intricate 2D exploration game from developer Billy Basso, was one of our favorite games of 2024. The puzzles within the lo-fi Metroidvania-ish sidescroller run so deep, and rattled our brains with such force, that we barely wanted to describe the secrets within while wholeheartedly recommending it. But according to a new...

Tripwire Interactive has announced that zombie-slaying FPS Killing Floor 3 has been delayed to an indeterminate point in 2025.

After spending three hours playing Blades of Fire, I’m already on the hook for more. Developer MercurySteam, who previously brought us the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games and, most recently, Metroid Dread, gave us the chance to play three hours of its new action RPG at a real-life forge. It finds itself at a crossroads between the interwoven structure of classic Dark Souls and the combat-led exploration of modern action games such as PlayStation’s rebooted God of War series, but its modular w...

Magic, monsters, and… metalwork? Epic action-adventure comes in many fantastical forms, but MercurySteam’s forthcoming voyage into an all-new world of fantasy-based peril has a particularly unique approach. Yes, there’s the mysterious and slightly brooding protagonist – Aran de Lira – on a quest to defeat a brutal, army-wielding queen hell-bent on destruction. And yes, there’s...

Sudowoodo has become a thorn in the side of every Pokémon TCG Pocket player who uses an Arceus ex deck. Sudowoodo is a fighting-type card introduced as part of the Triumphant Light expansion. It has a long, log-like body and green bulbs for hands. My childhood self described the overall look of this Pokémon as “derpy,”...

I tried to play Blades of Fire like a game I already knew, and I suffered for it. I died, over and over again in MercurySteam's new action-adventure, the same studio behind Metroid Dread and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and it wasn't until I began to get on board with just how pig-headedly and stubbornly different Blades of Fire is that I realised how exciting it can be.

A limited-time Disney Plus and Hulu bundle nabs you the basic bundle (so, both services with ads) for just $2.99 a month, for four months. That totals to around $12. The regular bundle goes for $10.99 a month, so you’re basically getting four months for the price of one. After the four months, the price...

One of the best things about Apple upgrading one of its devices is that you can find better deals on older, still very capable models. Just days after the company announced the M4-powered MacBook Air, a version of the laptop with the M2 chipset has dropped to a new record low of $699. That’s $300 off the regular price. This is a variant with 16GB of RAM rather than the base model’s 8GB. That's really the bare minimum of RAM you should be looking for these days (and we were pleased to see Apple s...

Even if Steven Spielberg were involved. With the news in 2023 that Nintendo would be working on an official Legend of Zelda movie in collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, you can bet that we had to scoop our jaws from off the floor. Even with the success of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, a Zelda adaptation just didn't seem all that feasible to us, and it sounds like Nintendo was of the same mind for many years. According to the Video Game History Hour podcast with ex-Nintendo "marketing ...
