Hopefully a fix is in the works.

A guide for players who wish to rid themselves of their nose.

Chaosmonger Studio developer of ENCODYA, Speedollama, Three Minutes To Eight and Clunky Hero have announced their working on an official video game for the metal band Voivod.

A recent trailer for Snail Games' Aquatica expansion for Ark: Survival Evolved has been ripped to shreds by fans, who have accused it of being AI-generated.

Pokémon TCG Pocket has been an enormous success - like, a 100m downloads enormous success - so inevitably, there are now other, similar franchises that would like a piece of that action.

Are you watching blurry YouTube videos? You're not alone. YouTube has acknowledged that some users are experiencing issues with videos playing back at unexpectedly low quality. According to a YouTube support page, affected users are seeing videos default to 144p or 360p resolution, despite having strong internet connections.

Meta is rolling out its AI assistant across 41 European countries, including to members of the European Union, starting this week. It will also extend its access to 21 overseas European territories. In its announcement, Meta said that it has taken the company longer to bring its AI technology to European users as it continues to "navigate its complex regulatory system."  The company was planning to make its AI technology available in the region last year, but it had to put its plans on pause aft...

Nexon has a fresh The First Descendent hotfix that makes its new endgame mode less punishing and bumps up the available rewards. The free-to-play looter shooter has just launched its Season 2 Episode 2 update, Beyond the Void, which introduced new playable character Serena to the mix alongside its latest chapter in the main quest, Sigma Sector. Now that it’s been out for a week, its developer is targeting some key frustrations, relaxing overly challenging restrictions, and offering more ways to ...

Cities Skylines 2 is still struggling, and it’s not quite the city-building sequel that a lot of players might have wanted. But the original game, from all the way back in 2015, remains perhaps the best in the genre, at least since the disappearance of SimCity. Fluid, simple, but deceptively complex, Cities Skylines 1 is also intuitive and great looking. Manor Lords and Frostpunk 2 might be the en vogue builders for now, but CS1 remains the best all-rounder. To celebrate its tenth anniversary, C...

Fujifilm has unveiled one of the wilder cameras I've seen in awhile, the 102MP medium-format GFX100RF compact camera. Yes, you read that right — this is a carrying-around street camera with a massive sensor and fixed 35mm f4 lens (28mm full-frame equivalent) that can shoot 11,648 x 8,736 photos. If that wasn't enough, it has features we've rarely seen on compact cameras, like a built-in ND filter and dedicated aspect ratio dial.  The GFX100RF uses the same 102MP CMOS II HS medium format sensor f...

With the launch of Nvidia’s new RTX 5000 laptop GPUs on the horizon, now is an amazing time to pick up an RTX 4000 gaming laptop for a bargain price. This HP gaming laptop deal is a case in point, costing just $899.99 and including an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 gaming GPU, as well as a decent AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, saving you a massive amount of money. Best Buy says you save $600 on this machine, based on its comparative value calculations, and while I wouldn’t go that far for this specific HP Victus lap...

The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) are now accepting Apple Pay with Express Transit Mode, according to local transport agencies. Express Transit is an ‌Apple Pay‌ feature that allows for tap-and-go payment at ticket barriers, eliminating the need to authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode. The device does not need to be wakened or unlocked to use Express Transit. "Today marks an exciting step forward in making public transit in...

Flight Simulator 2025 is now available to Wishlist on the PlayStation Store - but it's nothing to do with Microsoft.

School of Block. Remember when The Super Mario Bros. Movie took the world by storm with Bowser's heart-felt love song 'Peaches'? Yeah, we never really saw the appeal either, but if you have Jack Black in your movie, you're contractually obliged to write him a song. Probably. Surprise, surprise, the Minecraft Movie is no exception. The Warner Bros. music label, WaterTower Music, has today released a lyric video for a new song, 'I Feel Alive', featuring vocals from, you guessed it, Jack Black.

While there doesn't seem to have been any announcement from Lenovo yet that I can see, Best Buy in the USA have put up two versions of the Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS for pre-order.

Meta has announced the rollout of its AI chatbot across Europe starting this week. The AI assistant will appear across WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger platforms in 41 European and 21 overseas territories. Meta AI launched in the United States in 2023, but the company paused a planned rollout in Europe due to regulatory concerns. Meta's AI suite of features offer users several capabilities, but Europe is only getting the text-based assistant in six languages for now. The company said...

Assassin’s Creed Shadows sees the long-running stealth series cover perhaps its most requested setting: feudal Japan. While the previous game Mirage was a modest entry as far as Ubisoft open-worlds go, Shadows presents an adventure on the same vast scale as Odyssey and Valhalla – with a dizzying number of activities to match. Whether this...

See you in a week. Nubby's Number Factory is what the developer calls a "plinko-style roguelike" (everything is a roguelike now apparently?) where you drop your ball (Nubby) down a pegboard to rack up increasingly large numbers to stop the sun from exploding.

I have nothing but respect for a Steam update that promises gameplay details then quickly melts into an impressionistic tone poem about fighting the moon. Really though, what else does Skate Story need to say? We've already known how lovely it looks since not-E3 of 2022, then we found out even more about it from a demo last year. Do you want to miss out on the action of a game that made Brendy use words like "abstract rhythmodivinity" and Graham use words like "popeye's elbow". Of course you don...

It's no big ruse. With Balatro exploding in popularity over the last year or so, one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the game's development and release is one that has yet to be solved: just who is developer LocalThunk? Well, if you happen to be particularly keen to find out, we'd urge you to keep your expectations in check. According to an interview with Playstack’s communications director Wout van Halderen over on PC Gamer, LocalThunk's decision to remain anonymous wasn't out of some desi...

Breaking news, folks: co-op bug basher Helldivers 2 is a satire on authoritarian regimes, and apparently such an effective one that the United Nations even contacted Arrowhead to ask if they'd give a talk about psychological manipulation. Speaking at GDC as part of a presentation named 'Helldivers 2: Capturing Lightning in a Bottle,' Chief Easily identifiable satire Officer Johan Pilestedt gave some insight into the game's themes, then bragged about having the UN blowing his DMs constantly (said...

Jack Black is set to play Steve in A Minecraft Movie, but that wasn't always going to be the case. Originally, Black was actually going to play a talking pig. No porky pies here - really, a talking pig.

Wake up babe, a new self learning robot dog has dropped.

What's the going rate for a flight to attend GDC these days? I ask because I'd have loved to be buzzing my merry way about the convention walls when Snail Games USA unveiled this doozy of an AI-generated trailer for Ark: Survival Evolved's Aquatica expansion. I'd give it a solid nine on the "we're not even trying to disguise it any longer" scale. How bad is it? Bad enough that original developers Studio Wildcard hastily and firmly distanced themselves from the project, reiterating that their foc...

"Probably 99.9% of the time when you get a ransomware, it won’t be recoverable without the key. But if you are lucky, sometimes it is possible to find a solution."

GNOME 48 is a big new release including multiple major enhancements to one of the most-used desktop environments on Linux. There's some big stuff in this one!

Playing the waiting game. It looks like we've got a small update on the status of Hollow Knight: Silksong and this time it comes from the world of Xbox. Fans of this long-awaited title have been given some hope recently with the ID@Xbox director Guy Richards acknowledging how this title is still part of the company's future lineup. Unfortunately, there's no mention of an exact date or time frame as to when it might drop in the latest Xbox Wire post, but hey - plenty of fans seem to appreciate th...

Take a guess who won. SEGA has been sharing all sorts of information about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds since its closed network test and today it's revealed the "most popular" character selections.

The Switch build could greatly benefit from this. Koei Tecmo's Atelier Yumia game launches on the Switch this week and it seems it's already working on improvements. If you caught our Switch review, you'll see how we thought this latest entry was "impressively ambitious" with its bold new direction but also felt it was an experience that was admittedly straining the Switch so late in its lifecycle.

Canon mode is a setting in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Like all the familiar boot-up settings — subtitle preferences, game difficulty, immersive mode, guided exploration mode, and so on — you’ll choose whether or not to activate it before starting a new game. But the thing is, once you select it, you can’t change it. You’re...

New Switch Online icons also available. Xenoblade Chronicles fans have been lucky enough to be able to relive the entire series during the Switch generation, and this week marks the completion of this with the release of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. The former Wii U exclusive is now available with new story elements and much more. To mark this very special occasion, Nintendo's official social media accounts have shared some new illustrations - showing off the many characters of th...

Siri launched on the iPhone 4S all the way back in 2011, and yet it still struggles to answer some of the most basic questions. Daring Fireball's John Gruber today highlighted a recent post from a Reddit user who asked Siri what month it is, only for Siri to respond that it does not understand. This is a frustrating experience that many iPhone users are all too familiar with, as evidenced by the dozens of replies to the post that provide similar examples of Siri being useless. Apple recently del...

While the scale of December’s The Game Awards has given the trailer-heavy show the glow of the gaming industry’s Oscar equivalent, the annual Game Developers Choice Awards and Independent Game Festival Awards, held together each year at GDC, are closer to an Academy Awards-like event. Voted on by artists and craftspeople who make games, the...

Coming to "Nintendo Switch(es)" this June. Last year, the "hand-drawn 3D platformer" Ruffy and the Riverside was announced for the Nintendo Switch. In an update, the German indie developer Zockrates Laboratories has now confirmed the game will be coming to "Nintendo Switch(es) on June 26th, 2025". Make of this what you will, but given Nintendo's Switch 2 is due to arrive at some point before the end of this year, it seems like the wording of the PR is definitely hinting at an eventual release on...
