The strongest Clair Obscur Expedition 33 skill is about to change, as developer Sandfall Interactive warns players that there’s just “one more day to enjoy it in its current form and set some wild records.” The Stendhal Maelle build has been making the rounds as eager RPG min-maxers discover more ways to skyrocket its damage numbers up into the stratosphere, causing Sandfall to take action.

A Death Stranding 2: On the Beach themed PS5 controller will launch alongside Kojima's forthcoming sequel.

Very James Bond, I like it.

"We have had to make certain compromises". Late last year, Palworld developer Pocketpair announced that it was scrapping the Poké Ball-like summoning mechanic from its game as a result of its ongoing Nintendo lawsuit. Well, it looks like the changes aren't stopping there, as the dev has today announced that more "disappointing" changes are yet to come. In a new tweet, the company confirmed that the 2024 Pal Sphere update was indeed "a result of the ongoing litigation" and that the team was disap...

Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone will feature a new type of display panel developed by Samsung that has never been used in a foldable product, claims a source with links to Apple's supply chain. According to the account yeux1122 on the Korean Naver blog, the foldable iPhone will use a custom display process for which Apple will hold branding trademark rights, and that meets Apple's stringent requirements for thinness, power efficiency, and brightness levels. The report suggests Samsung has achie...

Nintendo Switch games Pokémon Scarlet and Violet now rank among the series' best-selling games of all time, despite fan complaints over technical issues, bugs and lack of visual polish.

Valve has released a new update for Counter-Strike 2, adding weekly missions along with a number of other changes.

That soil is a real test.

Today, 8th May, is a day of compound darkness, for it sees the release of (at least) two games with "midnight" in the title: Midnight Special from Scared Stupid Inc, and The Midnight Walk from Moonhood. A coincidence? Absolutely not. This is clearly an occult configuration of daunting power. It's also an opportunity to briefly compare two video game aesthetics, each comparably dense, tasty and insidious.

Lenovo's 10th-generation Legion 9i has a novel wrinkle that complements its powerhouse specs. The 18-inch gaming laptop can be fitted with a 2D / 3D screen that switches between standard (flat) graphics and glasses-free 3D. It's available first in China and will come to the US "sometime this fall.” To be fair to Lenovo, that vague-ass window is about as much clarity as an overseas company could realistically offer in this tariff-infused climate. The Legion 9i has an 18-inch display that supports...

A blast from the past, although not too well-known. Originally from Maelstrom Software and Future Visionary, The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki - Fancy Edition is a fresh upgraded re-release of the 1994 game from ZOOM Platform Media that's out now.

Necromancy is a dark art, forbidden by the mages guild in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. At least, that's what characters in the open world RPG will tell you, before selling you a spell that lets you raise skellingtons from the dirt. You can be promoted to the head of the Mages Guild, in spite of all those corpses you keep bringing back to life. Necromancy banned? Seems like no one cares. Well, one modder has fixed that. The mod, simply titled "Necromancy Is Actually Banned", will se...

Palworld, oh, how I've missed you. Blasting onto the scene in January of last year, topping the charts and upsetting parents everywhere, Pocketpair's colossal survival game has been quiet as of late, possibly a result of ongoing legal troubles with Nintendo. Several of Palworld's game mechanics have been compared to the Switch maker's classic creature catcher, Pokemon, with various models also allegedly plagiarized from Nintendo's game. While aspects and mechanics of Palworld have already been r...

Pending shareholder approval. Nintendo has announced that it is appointing a new outside director to the company who will also take a seat as a member of the board. Subject to approval on 27th June 2025 as part of the annual shareholder meeting, Kazuhiko Hachiya will join Nintendo as a director, effective immediately upon approval.

OpenRazer is a collection of Linux drivers for Razer devices, giving you better support for all the various device functions. A new release v3.10.3 just rolled out with new supported devices and bug fixes.

When you think of the greatest space games, it’s easy to default to scale. The thousands of planets of Starfield, the infinite galaxies of No Man’s Sky, the swirling systems of Eve Online, and the sheer expanse of Elite Dangerous. Outer Wilds is different. It’s smaller, tighter, meticulously designed down to the smallest grain of sand. Yet despite that, or perhaps because of it, developer Mobius Digital created the most enrapturing and memorable game about interstellar exploration ever made. Now...

Take the maps, skins, and overall balance and feel of classic Counter-Strike and remake it all using the tech that powers CSGO. That was the dream of Classic Offensive, a long-running mod project that first started life back in 2017. But now, eight years after development began, according to its creators, Classic Offensive has been shut down by Valve. The Half-Life and Left 4 Dead developer has seemingly sent a cease and desist letter to the Classic Offensive team, preventing further builds of t...

Fire Totem Games have announced their really sweet spider physics game A Webbing Journey is finally ready for an Early Access release on May 19th.

Nintendo expects to sell another 4.5m units of its aging original Switch this year, despite the impending launch of Switch 2.

Apple has filed an emergency motion asking the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to pause key parts of a recent ruling that dramatically changes how the App Store operates, following a contempt finding in its long-running legal battle with Fortnite maker Epic Games. In court documents filed Wednesday, Apple called the district court's order "extraordinary" and argued it unlawfully forces the company to permanently give up control over "core aspects of its business operations." "A federal court cann...

Make way for Bananza. Nintendo has confirmed that Donkey Kong Country Returns HD has surpassed 1 million in sales, reaching a total of 1.27 million. Released on 16th January 2025, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD's performance is about what we were expecting, but it's nevertheless an impressive achievement within just a month and a half. That said, it was also outsold by the likes of Super Mario Odyssey (1.33 million), Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (1.88 million), and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2.02 milli...

Google has issued a rare public statement seemingly contradicting Apple senior VP Eddy Cue's courtroom testimony that Safari browser searches declined for the first time in April 2025. Cue's comments, made during the ongoing U.S. Justice Department antitrust lawsuit against Google, triggered a 7.51% drop in Google's stock price on Wednesday. In a post to its blog The Keyword, under the title "Here's our statement on this morning's press reports about Search traffic," Google said: We continue to ...

Out of nowhere GOG added the SILENT HILL 2 remake from Bloober Team SA and KONAMI, so now more people get to play this highly rated horror DRM-free.

Rockstar may have nudged the release date of GTA 6 back into 2026, but that doesn't mean interest has faded in any way, shape or form.

Scarlet and Violet climb the ladder. Nintendo has released its financial data for the full FY2025, and you know what that means: it's time to take an updated look at the top ten best-selling Switch titles. The only notable change we can see here is that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has expectedly overtaken Pokémon Sword and Shield. It's not by much though; the latest generation has outsold the previous by a mere 70,000 copies. That gap is likely to grow in the months ahead, of course, but probably...

Nintendo has forecast 15m sales of its Switch 2 console over the remainder of this financial year.

And original Switch, of course. Nintendo has released its end-of-year financial update and, as per the norm, it has reconfimed release dates/windows for its major upcoming titles. It's a little bit different this time, of course, since we're now also factoring in Nintendo Switch 2, so the schedule is undoubtedly looking a bit more stacked than we've been used to the last year or so. Headliners include Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, with Switch 2 leveraging third-party support with the...

As Switch 1, predictably, grinds to a halt. Nintendo forecasts Switch 2 sales of 15 million units by the end of the 2025/26 financial year. The company also expects triple that number of software sales (45 million), excluding bundled software such as the Mario Kart World bundle launching alongside the base model on 5th June. This forecast comes from the firm's end-of-year results for 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025, published this morning.
