It might be around that time of year when you’re starting to figure out your summer vacation plans. Google has revealed some new features that can help with that, including a handy AI-powered one for Maps. If you turn on the new screenshot list, Gemini can automatically recognize locations that are mentioned in screenshots you take in the app. You can then save the places you're interested in to a list.

A few months on from releasing into early access, Greedfall 2: The Dying World has received its first major update, and it certainly seems like a fairly big one. First up, there's a whole new region to explore called "Olima, City of Stars", and I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that it has nothing to do with that guy from Pikmin. Its name actually comes from the fact there's a big ole observatory to be found there, though what that entails, you'll have to find out for yourself.

Well I never! Nintendo has sneakily confirmed the mysterious new 'C' button for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. As spotted by VGC, the new Apple and Android store listings for the Nintendo Today app contains a small image of the Switch 2. At first glance, it's the same image we've been seeing everywhere since the console was revealed in January, but at a closer look, you can see that the new button Nintendo had previously blanked out is now adorned with the letter 'C'.

Today’s Nintendo Direct gave us our first real look at the forthcoming Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake, and it sure is easy on the eyes. It uses Square Enix’s HD-2D engine, just like last year’s Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. We knew this JRPG was coming, but now we have some actual in-game footage. As the name suggests, this title will include remakes of the first two Dragon Quest titles that were originally released all the way back in the 1980s. This is a very good thing, as the first game is p...

Nice on! We didn't expect to see quite so much Sony in one Nintendo Direct, but here we are. Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots is keeping the long-running PlayStation golf series on the green, and it's coming to Switch this year. For those who have never played an Everybody's Golf, this is no PGA Tour. Heck, it's not even Switch Sports. The series takes a lighter approach to the sport, with its anime-esque aesthetic, power-ups and OTT special shots a-plenty.

The first major update to the struggling Greedfall 2 is live now.

Kiyotaka Oshiyama’s star has been rising as of late and shows no signs of slowing down. Coming off of the commercial and critical success of last year’s Look Back, the adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s one-shot manga, Oshiyama was announced last week as the character designer for Trigun Stargaze, the follow-up to 2019’s Trigun Stampede slated...

Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 might be getting a sequel, but developer Saber Interactive is keen to reassure players that the current iteration isn’t going away any time soon. “We’re excited to see your enthusiasm,” the studio writes about the recent Space Marine 3 announcement, “although we hear those of you who fear for Space Marine 2 and its future support.” As its first round of PTS testing rolls on, the developer outlines what's still ahead for SM2.

The highly customizable Vivaldi web browser now has built-in ProtonVPN integration. CEO Jon von Tetzchner described the collaboration as part of a broader shift toward "privacy over profiling, sovereignty over surveillance, independence over inertia," noting Vivaldi and Proton's headquarters are in Europe (a region with significantly better privacy regulations than the US). "We don't believe your personal data should be a bargaining chip." Built-in ProtonVPN is only available on Vivaldi's deskto...

The Big Spring Sale is a new entrant in Amazon’s regular schedule of massive seasonal sales, and just like the others, this one features all kinds of deals on physical media.

The first Nintendo Direct of this year has just taken place! The March 2025 Nintendo Direct was broadcast just days before the highly anticipated Switch 2 Direct, which will reveal more about the successor to one of the best-selling consoles of all time next week. The surprise Direct was only announced 24 hours before it aired, and it marked the first major showcase since the stream in June 2024. If you didn't get a chance to tune in live when it premiered, then here's everything that was announ...

You 'Erd. We had a great time with Square Enix's Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake last year and in today's Nintendo Direct, we got a nice reminder that there's still more to come. We've known about Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake since the announcement of the first game (chronologically), but today's teaser trailer gave us our first look at what Square Enix has been cooking up.

Now featuring Richard Rider and however many inches of Venom.

Shiny Pokémon are brightening up Pokémon TCG Pocket, having been introduced with the Shining Revelry expansion.

A mere 18 years after its original release on Sony's PSP handheld, acclaimed rhythm adventure Patapon is shaking off its PlayStation exclusivity. It's launching for Switch, PC, and PS5 as a two-game remaster bundle - also featuring Patapon 2 - on 11th July.

PATA PATA PATA PON. We have long thought that the PSP's delightful little rhythm series Patapon would make a good fit for Switch, and now we're getting just that! Patapon 1+2 Replay popped up at today's Nintendo Direct, bundling together the initial two entries and preparing to throw them our way on 11th June 2025. If you ever played either of these back in the day, then you'll know the beat-based hook. In Patapon, you control an adorable little army of warriors, making them march, defend and at...

Apple's custom silicon chips will begin to be manufactured in the United States at an accelerated pace as TSMC adjusts its timelines, although the chips produced domestically will be limited to older models for the foreseeable future, Nikkei Asia reports. Exclusive Apple chip supplier TSMC has confirmed that future fabrication facilities in the United States will be brought online more quickly than its first Arizona-based plant, which was beset by delays. TSMC now expects new U.S. plants to take...

In the multifaceted landscape of RPGs, nuclear disasters are a regular occurrence. From gas masks to Geiger counters, the real-world inspirations behind these irradiated digital wastelands are all too identifiable. Rebellion’s Atomfall takes a slightly different tack. Instead of tapping into Cold War anxieties of a nuclear holocaust or the harrowing effects of Chornobyl, we arrive in north-west England in the wake of the Windscale accident, and all is not as it seems.

See things from a different angle. Developer ustwo games has today announced that the third entry in the Monument Valley puzzle adventure series will be stepping over to Switch at some point this summer. What's more, the first two entries will also be heading our way on 15th April. For those who missed this one on the mobile scene back in the day, Monument Valley is a series of puzzle adventure games, where you guide a tiny princess through a series of impossible-looking environments, shifting y...

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has a weapon that breaks the whole idea of being a ninja, and thus the entire point of the game. With it, you can turn Naoe into an unkillable brawler that would make Yasuke hang up his sword. It’s so powerful that I’m pretty sure Ubisoft will remove it in a patch,...

You could chart a brief window of Hollywood history using only the Riddick franchise. The bizarre Vin Diesel-led sci-fi franchise has gone from low-budget slasher to opulent blockbuster and back, all in the course of just three movies. And while that alone would be reason enough to check out the trilogy of Pitch Black, The...

The original AirFly Pro is a fantastic little device that lets you stream wireless audio from any standard 3.5mm headphone jack. This made it a great tool for inflight entertainment systems, treadmills, CD players and any other old-school gadgets that lack Bluetooth. Manufacturer Twelve South just announced a follow-up, the AirFly Pro 2, that brings even more features to the table. The AirFly Pro 2 doesn’t reinvent the wheel. It’s still a dongle that connects to headphone jacks to provide wirele...

It’s hard to overstate the influence of Thief, Looking Glass and Ion Storm’s definitive stealth series, and one of the greatest games in PC history. Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Dishonored, and myriad other immersive sim RPGs and hybrid FPS games owe a debt of inspiration to The Dark Project, The Metal Age, and Deadly Shadows, but even in the age of remasters and remakes, Thief is yet to make a comeback - barring of course Square Enix’s attempt back in 2014. On the contrary, a totally free, unoffici...
