Writer Kij Johnson has always used animals to tell the stories of people. That’s how the writer and designer of Kobold Press’ upcoming tabletop role-playing game RiverBank put it to me in our recent email exchange. Like the novel it’s inspired by — The River Bank, Johnson’s 2017 sequel to Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in...

One last time. As some of you might be aware, there's a new console on the horizon. In two short days, Nintendo is set to pull back the curtain a little more on Switch 2, officially graduating the hybrid consoles that currently sit in our hands to the title of 'Switch 1' (a name we're sure will sit well with us eventually). While we're all eagerly anticipating more news about what's next from the House of Mario, there's a bit of us that's already getting nostalgic about the past eight years. In ...

Ahead of Wednesday's Switch 2 reveal event, Nintendo announced a new feature for its Switch consoles: virtual game card. In short, you can now link multiple Switches together to share digital games, with a game that is ejected from the first unit then becoming playable on the second, without the hassle of setting "primary" and "non-primary" Switch devices. It could point towards Nintendo edging towards the same "adorably all digital" future espoused by Microsoft in leaked documents, but does it?

The trick, it turns out, is to use an awful lot of clever and complicated math.

It has been rumored that a new Apple TV will launch later this year, and it might support the faster Wi-Fi 7 standard. All four iPhone 17 models coming later this year will be equipped with an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip, according to Apple supply chain analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu. A new Apple TV is also expected to be released this year, and it will also have an Apple-designed Wi-Fi chip, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. This means the next Apple TV should support Wi-Fi 7, unless App...

Bannerlords is getting a new DLC, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is still carving up Steam, and Manor Lords is becoming bigger and better thanks to dozens of successive updates. All told, medieval games are going strong, and if you’ve been eager for multiplayer hack-and-slash warfare in the vein of Mordhau and For Honor, today is definitely your day. Created by a small team of just over 20 people, Fiefdom pits up to 100 players against one another in sword-and-shield, magical, and even naval combat,...

Uh, sure, buddy.

How can we push CPUs forward? That's the question the computing industry has been asking since the Intel 4004 processor launched in 1971. Chipmakers have tried cranking up clock speeds, adding multiple cores and miniaturizing chip architectures to make them faster and more efficient. The conflict between RISC and CISC chip instruction sets (ISAs) — "reduced" designs versus "complex" ones — rages on to this day with RISC-V. For the past few years, AMD has been exploring a unique approach to speed...

As a TCG enthusiast and long-time League of Legends player, Riot's new League of Legends card game - codenamed Project K - has piqued my interest ever since its reveal. While it was initially only set for distribution in China, Riot has confirmed that the TCG - now officially known as Riftbound - will debut in the West later this year, with over 300 cards at launch and various different deck types. My bank account just groaned.

A loophole, closed.

It was already announced that Black Mirror season 7 would be giving us a high-profile sequel to one of its biggest episodes, 2017’s Star Trek-inflected “USS Callister”. But the season 7 trailer — released by Netflix along with episode titles, cast info, and more on Monday — teased another sequel episode: a follow-up to the...

The iPad Air is now available in two size options, just like the iPad Pro.

Apple recently refreshed the ‌iPad Air‌ with the M3 chip—a minor update over the previous model from 2024 which added the M2 chip and Apple Pencil hover. The latest ‌iPad Pro‌ models introduced a large nu...

The new game releases this week waver between horrifying and charming. Sometimes the premise of a game is pretty sad on its face, but the stuff you do isn’t as bleak. That’s the case for a couple games arriving this week. However, that’s not true for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, a game...

Square Enix has launched an official Final Fantasy 9 25th anniversary website, ahead of the game's quarter century milestone in July.

Apple and SpaceX subsidiary Starlink have been rolling out competing satellite features that allow smartphone users to send text messages while they are outside of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage. The Wall Street Journal on Sunday detailed the relationship between the two companies, and the report also revealed some other notable details. First, the report said that SpaceX has attempted to delay Apple's satellite expansion efforts. Last year, Apple committed $1.5 billion to its satellite partner Glo...

Minecraft is getting a visual overhaul.

Ahead of this Friday's big content update for Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom have put out a new blog from director Yuya Tokuda, detailing more scaly, slimy, and shiny additions. The main theme here is "harder fights", with arch-tempered variants of monsters besides the announced Ray Dau. But there's plenty of other planned smaller tweaks and goodies, including a reduction in VRAM usage coming "very soon". Friday's update includes long n' purple Mizutsune, plus repeatable fights with Zoh Shia, prev...

Anachronistic gaming laptop style with RTX 5090-topping performance.

Apple has been fined €150 million ($162 million) by France's Competition Authority over the implementation of its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework (via Bloomberg). The French regulator concluded that the way Apple deployed its ATT feature constitutes an abuse of market dominance, finding that the system unnecessarily complicated the process for users to opt out of tracking and unfairly disadvantaged third-party developers and advertising providers. Introduced in 2021 with iOS 14.5, the ...

The move to Unreal Engine 5 will bring visual upgrades and a photo mode.

In what has already been a very rough time for Nvidia's graphics card stability, fresh issues have arisen. Now, the developers of inZOI and The First Beserker Khazan have recommended reverting your drivers to older versions due to instability issues that cropped up with the latest driver. Nvidia might still be dominating the GPU market, but the new RTX 5000 launch has been criticized for a calamity of errors and nightmarish prices for the new GPUs. In our RTX 5090 review, we acknowledge that it ...

If you cast your minds back to last year, you may recall Pocketpair releasing a trailer for a dating sim spin-off called "Pal♡world! ~More Than Just Pals~". This was all part of some good ol' fashioned April Fools Day fun… or was it?

2025 is going to be a massive year for Path of Exile 2. Grinding Gear Games has a lot planned for the imminent launch of 0.2.0, with a new class, more ascendancies, and a massive expansion to the endgame. But several equally important mechanical changes are coming, too. One such overhaul is for Map Portals, and it'll move the risk and reward ratio of using them much more in your favor.

A previously announced RoboCop VR title has been kiboshed after it transpired that the game wasn't officially licensed before its reveal.

Doom Souls.

There's something so alluring about H.P Lovecraft's work. Whether it's the contemporary turn-of-the-century setting, or sheer enormity of his cosmic creations, when Cthulhu calls, I can't help but listen. The Sinking City 2 and, of course, its predecessor, blend all of that eerie goodness with old-fashioned horror game mechanics and L.A. Noire-esque investigation, and it quickly cemented itself as one of my favorite indie series. Now that we've finally got a little more insight into the sequel, ...
