Pole position on our wishlists. During the MAR10 Day celebrations last year, Nintendo dropped a teaser for an upcoming Mario Kart 'big build' set - with a silhouette that showcased a more detailed kart than we had previously seen from the child-friendly builds.

According to the Australian LEGO Certified Stor...

I am so unbelievable excited to play Death Stranding 2, and the new 10 minute trailer gives us a healthy dose of what to expect from it.

A new trailer for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has dropped. It puts a ten-minute dent into the upcoming open world game's enigma, but the most tantalising question still remains: is Kojima using that subtitle to deliberately remind everybody of the original's most infamous scene?

Super Mario Bros. has landed some Alarmo fame this time, with four tracks from the legendary NES platformer making the jump to the interactive clock later today. We don't know every song that will be arriving in this update, though the Japanese Nintendo website lets us hear a snippet of two new tracks: the Overwor...

New week, new PC games, new Maw liveblog, hungering for our headlines! But first, the obligatory paragraph of twaddle: lately I've been wondering whether we should put the Maw on a diet. The creature may be indiscriminate, but we news sentinels have noticed that stuffing the Gorging Chutes with certain story flavours can produce... eruptions.

Here are three reasons why Apple might never release an M4 Ultra chip. First, among Apple's line of Mac chips, the highest-end Ultra chips are effectively two Max chips fused together with a technology called UltraFusion. So, the M1 Ultra chip is two M1 Max chips combined, and the M2 Ultra chip is two M2 Max chips combined. However, Apple conf...
