The earliest known Super Mario Bros. cartridge, which may also be the game's master copy, will be up for auction next month to benefit a big charity.

You might not immediately recognise the name Santa Ragione, but the independent Italian studio has been creating boundary pushing, award-winning games for over a decade and a half now. It launched into space for 2013's mesmerising ambient puzzler Mirror Moon EP, it took to the Italian countryside for 2016's politically minded Wheels of Aurelia, it fled all manner of horrors in the ancient Sardinian town of 2022's Saturnalia, explored post-Covid trauma in the blistering Italian sun in 2023's Medi...

It's been 18 months since developer Santa Ragione - the hugely acclaimed studio behind the likes of Saturnalia and Mediterranea Inferno - unveiled its unnerving first-person narrative horror Horses. And after a bit of a delay, it finally has a release date, and is launching via the Epic Games Store, Humble Store, GOG, and Itch.io on 2nd December. One storefront is conspicuously absent from that list, however, with Santa Ragione today confirming Horses has effectively been banned from Steam.

Valve told Santa Ragione its game featured child exploitation. The studio says otherwise.

New gameplay is more than Peppy. Chuhai Labs has shared the first gameplay trailer of its stunning-looking on-rails shooter, Wild Blue Skies (formerly known as Wild Blue), featuring some anthropomorphic animals piloting flying vehicles through the skies to fight evil. Sound a little familiar? Okay, so the game still isn't confirmed for Switch (or Switch 2) yet — just PC and Xbox — but just watch the gameplay up top. Trust us. This is basically Star Fox with lovely cel-shaded-inspired visuals and...

Microsoft just released a spate of software updates for ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X handheld consoles. Perhaps the most notable feature is the introduction of default game profiles, which are available in a beta mode starting today. These are performance profiles tailored to specific games so they run perfectly on the handhelds. Once enabled, the software will automatically balance the frame rate and power consumption to strike the perfect balance. This means that players won't have to head in...

A galactic read. Nintendo surprised us all back in the September Direct with the announcement of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 — our first chance to play the latter on modern hardware in 15 years. What was perhaps even more surprising was the reveal of Rosalina's Storybook, a hardback edition of the in-game page-turner that would be arriving in book stores a few months after the game. Well, the day of release is finally upon us! Rosalina's Storybook is now available from the My Ninte...

The collaboration includes three new standalone Bluetooth speakers and two lamp speakers, each clad in Severin's distinctive colorful style.

Gloom & Tomb. As a person who grew up on the original Tomb Raider games back on the PS1, I eagerly anticipated the ‘new era’ of Lara Croft promised by publisher Square Enix and developer Crystal Dynamics for the 2013 reboot. Seemingly inspired by the success of the Uncharted franchise (which itself was inspired by Tomb Raider), the first game in this reinvention strips back the years of character development and delivers a young woman yet to build the skills and charisma her older counterpart em...

The number of video game franchises not being adapted for TV must surely now be nearing the single-figure mark, and we’ve known for a little while that a Far Cry show is on the way too. Ubisoft has now confirmed previous leaks that Alien: Earth’s Noah Hawley and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator Rob Mac will helm an anthology show based on its long-running FPS series. FX is making it and it will stream on Hulu in the US. Every Far Cry game is a standalone experience with no obvious narra...
