Fast & Fusionous. One of the Switch 2 titles that we are most looking forward to is Fast Fusion, the latest high-octane racer from Shin'en Multimedia that will be speeding onto the new hardware on launch day. Like the previous entries in the 'Fast' series, this one already boasted more than a few F-Zero stylings, but the dev has revealed that things are even more F-Zeroy than we thought. That's because we today found out that voice actor Jack Merluzzi will once again be lending his vocal talents...

Nvidia may have very quickly realized that most of its latest GPUs need to come with more VRAM as standard, as a new leak states that a 24GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card “will be released at the end of the year,” which is much sooner than expected. The new GPU looks as though it will be called either the RTX 5080 Ti or RTX 5080 Super, and could quickly take over from the standard 16GB 5080, which was launched earlier this year. Largely thanks to the lack of high-end competition, my RTX ...

A Dream(cast) collection. We love Capcom Fighting Collection 2! There, that's the review done. Seriously though, this is a particularly strong lineup of actual arcade Bangers (yes, with a capital B), that doesn't have anything approaching a full-on weak spot across a stellar roster of classic titles, so it's not really a surprise, is it? Indeed, outside of losing console-specific extra modes (which aren't really the point here anyway), it's not the easiest of game collections to pick fault with.

Every year heading into WWDC, one thought on many Mac fans' minds is what Apple will choose as the name for the next version of macOS. The tradition dates all the way back to the beginning of Mac OS X with its big cat names like Leopard, and Apple shifted to California-themed names with the unveiling of OS X Mavericks in 2013. Back in 2014, we discovered more than 20 California-themed trademark applications filed by various limited-liability companies, which were all but certain to be shell comp...

Tempest Rising and Broken Arrow are spearheading a comeback for old-style RTS games. Elsewhere, the boomer shooter is still going strong thanks to Selaco, Boltgun, and Ultrakill.

But there’s also Descent, Terracide, and the still-gorgeous Adrenix, bygone icons of PC’s past. Mixing the core mechanics of those historic shooters with a sp...

The Stalker trilogy is one of the most defining and atmospheric FPS game series on PC. With the launch of Stalker 2 in 2024 bringing plenty of new eyes to the apocalyptic shooter, it’s certainly worthwhile going back to the older entries.
