Ralph D’Amato joined Neversoft in 1998 and worked as a producer on the first eight Tony Hawk games. Then, 20 years later, he made a documentary about it. Pretending I’m a Superman: The Tony Hawk Video Game Story is the story of how Neversoft, Activision, and Tony Hawk built a juggernaut in the late ’90s...

Where are all the Expedition 33 Mimes? Clair Obscur has its fair share of weird and wonderful enemies, but Mimes are a cut above the rest. These hidden bosses are found in every major location on the Continent, and they are as much an ode to Clair Obscur’s French influence as the cosmetic rewards they drop. Mimes aren’t the biggest boss challenge in Clair Obscur Expedition 33, but their unique moveset and ability to construct invisible barriers that absorb damage can make them appear impossible ...

Asus has come up with an ingenious way of potentially saving the life of your graphics card and even your whole PC. Thanks to an accelerometer built into its ROG Astral graphics card, it can tell you if your GPU is sagging and potentially set to come crashing down on the rest of your PC, or at the very least damage its own PCIe connector. The new Asus addition is built into its flagship ROG Astral version of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090. While our RTX 5090 review showed the Founders Edition of th...

Xbox could be all-in on the cloud.

A now-deleted Randy Pitchford X post appears to confirm that the release date for Borderlands 4 will be moved forward by several days.

Another melted Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 power cable has appeared online, and this time it was a 12VHPWR cable specifically designed to stop it from being connected incorrectly. MSI started including a two-color adapter cable with its RTX 5000 GPUs a few months ago, so the bright yellow would clearly show up if the plug wasn’t firmly embedded in its socket. However, one of these cables now appears to have burned out after being plugged into an RTX 5090 graphics card. If you have the money, and you...

Amazon has refuted a report which said it was planning to tell consumers how much of a product's price was due to the impact of tariffs that the Trump administration has imposed on imports, particularly those from China. According to Punchbowl News, Amazon was going to display this right next to an item's total price. However, that's not the case, Amazon said in a statement. “The team that runs our ultra low cost Amazon Haul store has considered listing import charges on certain products,” an Am...

In today’s world, where AI has fully saturated into every aspect of our lives — whether we like it or not — the question of the Turing test seems almost quaint. Can a human identify a machine through a text conversation, or will the AI inevitably reveal itself as a cold, soulless creation? Qualia, a...

Yelp has announced new AI-powered call answering features for restaurants and services as part of its Spring Product Release. With the service, currently under development, the company hopes that "businesses never have to miss a call again.”  "In this next step of our product transformation, we’re continuing to harness AI to unlock the potential of Yelp’s rich data in ways that build trust and simplify decision-making — whether users are hiring a pro or booking a reservation," Yelp's chief produ...

Microsoft will shut Skype down on Monday, May 5, in less than a week's time. While it's long fallen by the wayside in favor of Zoom, Teams and Google Meet, more users might be turning to WhatsApp. The Meta-owned messaging platform is reportedly working on a feature that would bring voice and video calling to its web browser, WABetaInfo reports.  WhatsApp already allows voice and video calls on its Mac and Windows apps, but this update would allow users to access these functions without downloadi...

There’s now a long and storied history of video game adaptations, from 1993’s Super Mario Bros. to, uh, 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie. There’s also a litany of upcoming based-on-a-video-game movie projects, including planned adaptations of [deep breath] Gears of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Metal Gear Solid, Space Invaders, Death Stranding, and Just Dance....

As we finally venture into Diablo 4 Season 8, Blizzard is overhauling the Season Journey to make your progression smoother than ever. You can now obtain more Smoldering Ashes sooner, and use them to activate the new game-changing buffs much earlier. With D4’s challenge set to ramp up as Belial, the Lord of Lies, returns as the new pinnacle encounter, I’m certainly pleased to hear that I’ll be getting bonuses sooner in Season 8.

Amazon kicked off a ton of steep discounts on Apple products earlier this week, and they include the AirPods Pro 2 for $169.00, down from $249.00.

Infinity Nikki's Version 1.5 has slipped in some monetisation changes that haven't gone down well.

Apple's iPhone 18 lineup will introduce a major leap in memory performance, according to new information shared today by Weibo-based leaker Digital Chat Station.

Amazon has finally launched its first batch of Project Kuiper internet satellites on top of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. The company was supposed to send the first 27 satellites in the constellation, which will eventually be comprised of more than 3,200 satellites, on April 8. However, the event got pushed back. A previous Bloomberg investigation claimed that Kuiper was way behind schedule, because the company was struggling to ramp up the production of its satellites. If true, the c...

Playing favourites. We're on the cusp of a new console generation and naturally thoughts are turning to games we know are coming and games we know must be coming. News flash: Nintendo is making another one of those Mario games. They seem to go down well? So far, only Mario Kart and Donkey Kong have been confirmed for brand new, Switch 2-specific instalments with World and Bananza, although Metroid Prime 4's cross-gen launch means that Samus fans will be bounty-hunting on Nintendo's next machine....

The Shrouds, the latest movie from horror legend David Cronenberg, certainly asks more questions than it answers. At the heart of it, funerary-tech entrepreneur Karsh (Vincent Cassel) is dealing with some sort of conspiracy — he’s just not sure what.  See, Karsh is a widower who’s not quite ready to let his dearly departed wife go...

Call it an act of conviction.

David Gaider's among the spellbound for Sandfall's latest hit.

According to the latest GPU rumors, just two days will separate the launch dates of the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 and AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT, with both gaming GPUs reportedly set to do battle in a few weeks. After successfully taking on the RTX 5070 by launching the Radeon RX 9070 XT immediately afterward, it looks as though AMD is hoping it can perform the same feat again at the budget end of the market. AMD will have to get its pricing right, though. As I found in my RTX 5060 Ti review, Nvidi...

The big anniversary patch back in March certainly made Cities Skylines 2 a lot better, bringing with it vital improvements to the employment system and other key parts of the simulation. But Paradox and Colossal Order still have work to do on the city-building sequel. 18 months since launch, Cities 2 feels less accomplished than its genre-redefining predecessor. With Manor Lords, Civilization 7, and a new version of Frostpunk filling up the strategy space, CO’s game wants a bolt of energy - and ...

OpenAI, which spends far more money than it takes in, is trying something new to stanch the bleeding. The company just announced that all users, including on the free tier, can shop from ChatGPT Search. "You can now search for a product, compare options and buy products in ChatGPT," OpenAI said in a press release.

The search for The Elder Scrolls 6 is a hard trek.

Vincke says that all games'll need the human touch, even if AI's been useful for early prototyping and annoying busywork.

Skatebird, Baba Is You, and Electric Zine Maker are three of the 237 games you can grab on Itch right now for $16 as part of Crips for eSims for Gaza Bundle. Why, that's a $822 saving! I mean, it's technically not a saving if you weren't going to buy anything anyway, but it's for a good cause. Here's the collective in their own words: "Crips for eSims for Gaza is an international collective of disabled people who have come together in support of Palestinans, helping Gazans regain internet access...

The battery also last...

A Steam success. Manor Lords publisher Hooded Horse and developer Eremite Games have today announced that the award-winning dark fantasy roguelike city builder (is that enough genre terms for ya?) Against the Storm will be making the jump to Switch on 26th June. This one launched on Steam in late 2023 and has since gone on to rack up over 1.5 million sales with a whopping 28,000 'Overwhelmingly Positive' reviews. QLOC (the dev that previously brought Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice to Switch) has b...

Many of my most anticipated tabletop role-playing game books of 2025 won’t be released until convention season kicks off this summer, but the year has started strong for the hobby. While Wizards of the Coast seeks to maintain its dominance by emphasizing customization and adding more support for high-level play in the 2024 Dungeons &...
