ARPG fans are spoiled for choice right now. The ever dependable Diablo 4 keeps ploughing on with new seasons, Path of Exile 2 continues to evolve in early access, and Last Epoch recently sprang up as a worthy newcomer too. However, with its roguelike twists, bullet hell elements, and world entrenched in Norse mythology, Jotunnslayer is one to also have an eye on. While not as grand in scope, this early access game is providing some great Diablo-esque action, and its second major update since lau...

After a January announcement that it would spend $80 billion on data center construction, Microsoft may already be adjusting its future plans. Sources told Bloomberg that Microsoft has delayed or slowed data center efforts in Indonesia, the UK, Australia, Illinois, North Dakota and Wisconsin. Some of the cases meant withdrawing from negotiations, while others have involved delays on planned construction projects, according to these insiders. These data centers would be central to Microsoft's eff...

Make sure to match your supply to the customer base for all of your dealers.

After watching A Minecraft Movie in the theater, I decided to stick around and see whether a post-credits scene would show up. Perhaps after Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess and his writing team told the story of Steve (Jack Black), his new friends from Chuglas, Idaho, and their adventures running around the Overworld and The...

Traeger's only gas-powered grill is its Flatrock flat-top griddle. Besides this one model, everything else in the company's lineup runs on wood pellets. Since griddles continue to be insanely popular backyard cooking tools, Traeger is expanding its Flatrock line with a smaller, two-burner option. The Flatrock 2 Zone has all of the features from the larger version, which is now called the Flatrock 3 Zone, in a griddle that takes up less space on your deck, patio or porch.  As the name suggests, t...

Say it loud. We were completely amused at the reveal of the Switch 2 Camera. It felt like a very Nintendo thing to couple with the new GameChat button on the Switch 2 Joy-Con, but also something that’s 20 years too late. The EyeToy and Kinect have been and gone over the past two decades with mixed results. So what will make Nintendo’s camera worth it, aside from video calls? Super Mario Party Jamboree! Nintendo Switch Edition + Jamboree TV. This enhanced release of what we think is already the b...

April's upon us, meaning it's time to shove March's Prime Gaming offerings aside and ready yourself for a brand-new batch - with this month brining 22 more titles Prime Gaming members, including Mafia 3: Definitive Edition, Minecraft Legends, and Genesis Noir.

Much like many of you, I suspect, I too would love a Dishonored 3, but I'm not entirely confident it will ever happen. Arkane Austin was obviously shut down last year, and Arkane Lyon are making a Blade game, which leaves little room for a Dishonored sequel. But is there any possibility of one happening all the same? Well, still no, probably, but Arkane Studios founder and Dishonored co-creator Raphaël Colantonio did recently say that he could at the very least see himself working on a follow-up...

Tech tours. Nintendo is no stranger to the concept of a launch day pack-in game. The Wii famously included Wii Sports, the DS came with an impressive demo of Metroid Prime Hunters, and even the Game Boy was bundled with Tetris in North America, forever changing the market. Which is why we’re all puzzled as to why Nintendo is charging for their new game, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. When it was revealed during the Direct, it was sold as an experience aimed around helping you get to grips with ...

Looking for a creative new game to play? You can currently pick up the Lego board game Monkey Palace on Amazon for only $27.23 — that’s 32% off its typical price of $39.99. Designed for two to four players ages 10 and up, Monkey Palace has players take on the role of monkeys building a...

Here's how to have a spare copy of your hunter, just in case.

The most recent update to the extremely normal and not-at-all-weird driving simulator, Pacific Drive, adds a whole new layer of replayability. The Endless Expeditions update from developer Ironwood Studios is the largest update Pacific Drive has received since its launch last year, and delivers a brand new survival game mode in addition to a number...

"There's a lot of advancements that have been made". Months of rumours and leaks meant that yesterday's announcement that Nintendo Switch 2 will come with an LCD screen wasn't all that big of a surprise. We had been preparing to say goodbye to the OLED for a while now, but Nintendo is keen to point out that the change isn't a decision that the team took lightly. During a roundtable discussion with Kouichi Kawamoto, Takuhiro Dohta and Tetsuya Sasaki at yesterday's Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on event...

The Game Manufacturers Association officially opposes the United States' new trade tariffs on Chinese Goods, stating it would devastate the industry.

Some players have more practical worries about indistinct character design, but mostly they just want to feel the squeeze.

Yesterday, we learned a lot about the Switch 2 we didn't know before, including the fact Nintendo that will offer a webcam alongside the new console. As far as accessories go, the $50 Switch 2 Camera looks boring, and judging from the footage the company shared on Wednesday, not particularly great at its intended purpose of, you know, capturing moving pictures.  The good news? Nintendo is allowing third-party manufacturers to make their own webcams for the new console. Enter the Hori Piranha Pla...

There’s a lot to talk about since the Switch 2 reveal, and one of the jokey-but-not questions from many folks is: Will the Switch 2 mouse work on my pants? Which makes sense! Rarely are we doing handheld or console gaming with a table in front of us, let alone a large, luxurious desk mat...

HD-hyah! Folks, I am not a graphics or frame rate snob. I grew up playing 50hz games and my main system of choice is an eight-year-old tablet. I love style and art over visuals, and sometimes I even tolerate rough framerates. I might be a little more unforgiving in 2025 than I was a few years ago, but look, I want good games, good experiences, not pristine visual experiences. Playing Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2 might have changed that, though. I might be becoming a fr...

It's not pen and paper, but it's pretty damn good.

The Marvel Rivals Season 2 release date is just around the corner, and Ultron and Emma Frost are going to be joining the already massive roster of heroes. As well as unveiling some other great new additions and improvements arriving next season, such as costume gifting and a rework of Team-Ups, NetEase has also dropped some exciting news about its future plans for seasons. In a nutshell, they’ll be shorter and will deliver a new Marvel Rivals hero every month, starting from Season 3 onwards.

If you found yourself bopping along in admiration to 2023's Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, you might be interested to hear Dragon Age creator David Gaider's Summerfall Studios has announced its follow-up game. It's a "demonic roguelite deckbuilder" called Malys, and a Kickstarter campaign is coming soon.

"Pour one out for Grim Feast."

60 fps and 4K HDR! Back in 2011, Shin'en Multimedia released FAST - Racing League on WiiWare and birthed a series which, this coming June, will come to the Switch 2 in the form of Fast Fusion. Described as "the fastest racing game you may have ever experienced," Fast Fusion follows in the footsteps of 2015's FAST Racing NEO and Fast RMX (2017), which were released on the Wii U and Switch, respectively.

Place your bets now: Duelist, Vanguard, or Strategist?

Marvel Rivals is about to start getting new heroes every month as the length of its seasons gets shorter, creative director Guangyun Chen said in an update video on Thursday. Starting with season 3, Marvel Rivals seasons will last two months instead of three, which means we’ll get a new hero at the start of...

Return of the Kong. It was always going to be a toss-up between a new 3D Mario and a new 3D DK revealed in yesterday's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and we ended up getting the latter. Donkey Kong Bananza looked stunning in its reveal trailer and now, Nintendo has given us an even closer look. A batch of new screenshots have been released, showing Nintendo's prized primate in all of his glorious Switch 2 detail. Admittedly, a lot of these look a little more 'posed' than your standard gameplay snaps,...

YouTube is updating the video editor for Shorts to better compete with the likes of TikTok and Instagram Reels, and teasing some AI-powered features that are coming later this year that might make it stand out. The new and improve editor will let users "make precise adjustments and edits to the timing of each clip with zooming and snapping," along with the usual option to rearrange and delete your footage. YouTube says you'll also be able to add music and timed text, and preview your video at an...

Verizon just revealed a new price lock policy that guarantees certain plans won’t go up in cost for three years. This is for both new and existing customers. It was announced the day after President Trump decided to tariff the entire world, which put markets into a tailspin. Verizon didn’t specifically mention this policy, but did say that the move was intended to give “predictability” to its customer base. However, there are some caveats. Customers have to be enrolled in one of the company’s ne...

Anyone up for a little shindig? NetEase clearly are, as Marvel Rivals' second season is all about the Hellfire Gala, a fun little party gone wrong hosted by Emma Frost. As you'll no doubt be aware, Emma Frost isn't in the game currently, making her the first of the new characters to join this season, which kicks off next week, April 11th.

Inzoi's life simulation bugs continue to be unexpectedly evil.

Back in my day... One of the best surprises from the recent Switch 2 Direct is that the upcoming console will include GameCube titles for those on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion pack subscription tier. These include The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, SoulCalibur II, and F-Zero GX at launch with more confirmed in the coming months. What's more, we can confirm from our hands-on sessions that the app will come with an optional CRT filter; something the N64 app neglected to include.

After Emma Frost and Ultron debut, new heroes will start arriving even quicker.

This week's Nintendo Direct provided much more info about the Switch 2 but didn't go too deep into the nitty-gritty details of what powers the console. That left NVIDIA, the Mario maker's hardware partner on the console's processor and GPU, to fill in some blanks with a blog post published on Thursday — including the first confirmation that it uses Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) tech. NVIDIA said the Switch 2's DLSS support helps to give the console "ten times" the graphical performance of ...

The roguelike scene is one of the most hotly contested these days, with new entries in the genre (or projects that borrow elements from it) cropping up daily. Despite the torrent of new roguelikes, 2012’s Faster Than Light remains one of the best, with its simple but strategic spaceship battles. Lonestar, which has been building itself up in early access for some time now, is probably the closest thing you’ll get to a Faster Than Light sequel, and today sees it emerge into 1.0 with impressive am...

In the lead-up to the release of the Shining Revelry expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, the developers touted additions like shiny Pokémon and a new Ranked mode. But on Thursday, the developers added a time-limited feature called “sneak peek” that improves Wonder Pick in a big way — so if you’ve been accumulating Wonder Hourglasses, now...
