Games that looked absolutely breathtaking in the '90s will always remain that way in the hearts of fans, but a remaster or reimagining brings these oft-forgotten classics to a whole-new generation of curious players. We've had a few point-and-click games follow this trajectory recently, from Monkey Island and Broken Sword to 2024's Riven. The latest game to be upgraded for modern audiences is the 1999 cult classic Amerzone The Explorer's Legacy, and it looks gorgeous.

On Wednesday, Roku revealed two new streaming devices at an event in New York. The company says its Streaming Stick and Streaming Stick Plus are the most compact on the market, measuring 35 percent smaller than other brands' models. However, Roku says there's no compromise on performance despite the small size.  The entry-level Streaming Stick is $30 and it knocks the Roku Express out of the company's lineup. It has many of the features you'd expect from Roku, such as personalized recommendation...

Asking the question that never gets old.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, which preceded The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, is one of the most modded games of all time; despite it’s age, the modding community remains vibrant. While Oblivion’s modding community has been much smaller, it’s still active — and interest has grown since Oblivion Remastered was released Tuesday. The catch, though,...

It's probably time to rectify that.

How does Oblivion Remastered lockpicking work? The lockpicking minigame from Oblivion was always a polarizing subject, with some players saying it was too finicky and others insisting that it was just right. Lockpicking is an important skill to master in Oblivion Remastered, as many of the RPG's secrets are behind closed (and locked, obviously) doors. With Oblivion Remastered stealthily dropping in our laps, players have had to quickly re-learn skills they may not have used for quite some time, ...

Ubisoft has announced Might & Magic Fates, a blockchain-infused free-to-play card game that's launching on mobile devices at some point in the future.

Especially in the wake of Call of Duty 4, we had a surfeit of gray-brown military shooters - Battlefield 3, the rebooted Medal of Honor, and of course Black Ops and the direct Modern Warfare sequels defined the mid-’00s FPS aesthetic. It got samey. But the backlash was too severe. Today’s shooters practice a banal visual maximalism, with loud colors, big shapes, and cartoon characters. Even the ostensibly more-grounded FPS games, like Counter-Strike 2, Far Cry, and present-day CoD, have strayed ...

If you’re still waiting for more Path of Exile 2 changes to roll out before returning to Grinding Gear Games’ ARPG sequel, there’s plenty of choice. Last Epoch Season 2 is a real winner, and a perfect excuse to discover the fighty newcomer’s excellent additions to the genre. Torchlight Infinite Sandlord splashes a little city builder into the fast-paced free Steam game. Diablo 4 Season 8 is also around the corner. But if all you want is Path of Exile 3.26, GGG has a delightful little stopgap for...

Macabre queen Wednesday Addams (as played by Jenna Ortega) finally returns to Netflix in August — then again in September, because Netflix is splitting the second season of Tim Burton’s Wednesday into two parts. Set to a grim, trailercore version of “My Favorite Things,” the season 2 teaser shows Wednesday going through airport security, removing...

Indie publisher Devolver Digital has cut staff at Reigns developer Nerial by 40 percent.

New CEO, same old staff cuts?

Kinetic Games has revealed that Phasmophobia console sales have passed another major milestone as the game nears its fifth overall year.

Nintendo’s president Shuntaro Furukawa has apologized in advance for the company’s failure to meet demand for the Switch 2 in Japan after 2.2 million people applied for the My Nintendo Store pre-order lottery alone. In a post on X (translated by VGC), Furukawa said that this “astonishing” number “far exceeded our prior expectations and greatly...

Forza Horizon 5 is a truly superb game. This racer packs an enormous amount of content into stunning open-world environments, spanning regions of Mexico and a Hot Wheels paradise in the sky. It's a top-notch effort from Playground that's only been available on Xbox and PC, but porting powerhouse Panic Button has just delivered a version of the game for PS5 and PS5 Pro, even sporting RT boosts for Pro users. Is this the definitive Forza Horizon experience on console?

Apple has been hit by a €500m (£429m) fine from the European Union for violations of its Digital Markets Act (DMA) - and Fortnite maker Epic Games, which has been warring with the iPhone manufacturer amidst the rollout of its own app store, has been quick to respond.

AI is rapidly reshaping what’s possible on a PC — whether for real-time image generation or voice-controlled workflows. As AI capabilities grow, so does their complexity. Tapping into the power of AI can entail navigating a maze of system settings, software and hardware configurations. Enabling users to explore how on-device AI can simplify and enhance Read Article

Google will not make any to changes to how third-party cookies work on the Chrome browser at all. Anthony Chavez, Google VP for Privacy Sandbox, has announced that the company has "made the decision to maintain [its] current approach to offering users third-party cookie choice in Chrome." It will also "not be rolling out a new standalone prompt for third-party cookies" that would have allowed users to opt out of being tracked by advertisers. Google has made the announced a few days after a feder...

And the comparisons are missing one key point. When the Switch launched in 2017, it was in a league of its own. Literally. Shrinking a no-compromise, home console experience into a portable device that could also double as a dedicated home console was an entirely new concept. Overnight, Nintendo had created another of those blue oceans that they so much love to swim in, and they had the beach all to themselves. Life was peachy, baby!

Apple has been slapped with a €500 million fine as part of its ongoing legal battle with Epic over alternative payment systems and app stores on iOS.

Amazon has sold Kindle ereaders for almost two decades but it wasn't until last year that it went beyond black and white. The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition came out in October and — despite a previous screen issue that seems fixed — it's a great product overall. Our biggest quip is the price, $280 for the 32GB edition, compared to $200 for the 32GB Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, for example.  Now, a new sale is easing the strain on our wallets, dropping the Kindle Colorsoft Signature ...

Apple shipped significantly more MacBooks during the first quarter of 2025, outpacing the broader PC market, according to new estimates from Counterpoint Research. While the overall PC market grew 6.7% compared to the same period in 2024, Apple led major vendors with a 17% increase in unit shipments. However, the report attributes much of the industry's first-quarter gains to accelerated shipments as manufacturers moved to avoid new tariffs expected to be implemented by the United States later i...

Sony and Sucker Punch have revealed the Ghost of Yōtei release date, and the Ghost of Tsushima followup is due to arrive on PS5 later this year.

And like the big sucker that I am, I'd lap it up.

A complicated history for this one, with the developer Rocket Jump Technology no longer existing as a business. The previous iteration of the game named King under the Mountain went open source back in January 2024, and now what was to be the big revamp is also open source.

Hawk your ill-gotten gains to make mountains of gold.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe falls again. The latest UK charts data is in, and it's another quiet week in the land of the Nintendo Switch. Indeed, while we have a few Switch-compatible games in the top ten, the first-party offering just doesn't seem to be performing quite as consistently as it used to. Shock, right? With the new Switch 2 on the horizon, it seems that folks may simply be opting to wait out the next several weeks in favour of the new, shiny console. Take Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, for instance: ...

The Ghost of Y&omacrtei team has announced the release date for its highly anticipated sequel.

Coming sometime soon to Early Access, Melvor Idle 2 has been announced by developer Games by Malcs. Building upon the success and popularity of the first game, but with some big new features to hook you in.

We are so excited to announce that Ghost of Yōtei comes to PS5 on October 2, 2025!  It’s been nearly five years since we shipped Ghost of Tsushima, and in that time we’ve been hard at work making Ghost of Yōtei something special. While the stories are unrelated, it’s important to us to make this...

Meta's Oversight Board has deemed Meta was right to leave up two videos reported for hate speech and harassment, though it recommends changes for the company. The decision follows revisions Meta made in January to its Hateful Conduct Policy. The Board started looking into the two posts last August. One of the videos showed a trans woman being confronted in a bathroom by another woman who misgenders the trans woman and asks why they should be allowed to use the women's room. The included caption ...

I liked Logitech's MX Creative Console when I tested it last year, but one of biggest issues was a lack of support for specific content creation and other apps. The company has rectified that with a major update now available on the company's Logi Marketplace. It expands the console's compatibility to several key apps including DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Lightroom and Figma.  As a reminder, the MX Creative Console is a control panel that connects to your Mac or PC and is designed to speed up creativ...

The year is off to a great start, at least as far as horror movies are concerned. There are films about family secrets ranging from ridiculously silly to heartbreaking and tragic. There’s also a holiday-themed slasher, a good old-fashioned summer camp slasher, and a few more unconventional movies that might surprise you. To help you...
