How does the Blue Prince pump room work? A lot of the obstacles in Blue Prince can be maneuvered around, thought through, and figured out. One thing that can’t be defeated with brain power alone is a large body of water - or the lack of it, in some cases. The Blue Prince pump room is the beating heart of the estate, and you’ll need to know how it works if you want to control the flow of water through your rapidly unraveling maze. Blue Prince is a puzzle game that expands with each run, adding co...

NintenDOOMED? Over the decades, Nintendo has cultivated a reputation in which it seemingly strives for innovation in gaming over simple iterative upgrades. The Wii and DS were perhaps the most obvious instances of this, pushing Nintendo into the stratosphere by appealing to mass audiences beyond the usual hardcore crowd. With the Switch 2, Nintendo is seemingly playing it pretty safe, offering up a console that – mouse controls aside – more or less updates the Switch's current features with more...

Apple's rumored foldable iPhone currently in development features an under-screen camera integrated into the folding display, but the module is unlikely to include TrueDepth components that make up Face ID.

I'm thankfully very remote from the capital these days, but Edwin will occasionally regale the morning meeting with dark fables about how much a pint now costs in London. He'll stumble on to camera, his eyes bloodshot and breathing heavy, and we'll all know he's traded a new vital organ for a swift half. Occasionally he'll dart his head around to the sound of banging at the door then immediately dive out of the window, and we'll pray for his safe return after outrunning The Bad Teapot gang, who ...

15 years on from the release of Metro 2033, I still think with fondness and yearning of the Uboinik automatic shotgun. It’s a six chamber cylindrical affair with mouthwatering red shells that dangle before your trigger finger like pert, juicy plums. This is just to say / I have shot / the shells / that were in / the shotgun / and which / you were probably / saving / for the mutant round the corner. / Forgive me / they were murderous / so sockety / and so round. Ahem. Reloading the shotgun is an ...

You'll need to use 'Zelda Notes', though. Weapon durability has long been a 'controversial' mechanic seen in both The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. While many embraced the need to experiment in combat situations – whether it be with the Rune abilities or the environment itself – others have resented the fact that weapons would break after moderate use out in the field. Now, thanks to the new 'Zelda Notes' app that comes with the new Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of B...

Without the DLC. If you're thinking about getting Street Fighter 6 on the Switch 2 at launch but don't necessarily want to commit to the entire package with both DLC updates, it seems there will be one other option. As highlighted by Nintendo, fighters will be able to choose from the 'Years 1-2' edition including all 26 fighters, or you can opt with a digital standard edition - without all the extra characters and additional content.

Darkest Dungeon 2 was already a brutal, challenging affair, but the introduction of its Kingdoms mode took things to a new dimension. Bringing the core DD2 experience into a strategy game-esque setting, which is laid out like a tabletop board game, it’s dropped its turn-based combat and gloriously grim aesthetic into a fresh experience. Developer Red Hook promised that more content drops, known as ‘modules,’ would arrive for Kingdoms, and now it’s made good on that pledge as its second expansion...

Espresso Displays makes some of our favorite portable monitors, but up until now, it felt like there was a hole in its portfolio.
