Apple has updated a wide range of products and accessories this month, but there is still no entry-level iPad 12 with Apple Intelligence support. Fortunately, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today said an iPad with an A18 chip for Apple Intelligence is "ready to go" and "still coming this year." An earlier report from Macworld claimed that the iPad 12 will actually have an A19 chip. No other major changes have been rumored so far for the iPad 12, so we expect the device to have the same overall design a...

Apple has unveiled nine new products this month, but the wait continues for the next-generation Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini models. In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said new versions of the Apple TV and HomePod mini have been "ready" since last year, but he reiterated that Apple has held off on releasing them until the more personalized version of Siri and other Apple Intelligence upgrades are released later this year. Inventory of the Apple TV, HomePod mini, and full-s...

Crimson Desert is clearly inspired by The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, but Pearl Abyss's new game misses the point.

Candy Land was imagined in a polio ward by Eleanor Abbott and became one of the best-selling board games ever.

It has been a busy March for Apple, which has unveiled more than 10 products and accessories this month. However, aside from the all-new MacBook Neo and Studio Display XDR, the devices received faster chips or new colors and little else. The new products include an iPhone 17e, iPad Air models with the M4 chip, MacBook Air models with the M5 chip, MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, the all-new MacBook Neo, an updated Studio Display, a higher-end Studio Display XDR, AirPods Max 2, an...

Indie sensation Fez was supposed to get a sequel, but it was abruptly canned. Other developers have since stepped in to carry on its legacy.

The Marathon Cryo Archive is an incredible endgame mission reminiscent of Destiny raids, but Bungie knows it has too many restrictions.

After running Faster, Purple Worm! Everybody Dies, one DM learned D&D 5e’s challenge ratings fall apart — even against a Duke of Hell.

Hello everyone, I’m Takeshi Yamanaka, Producer of MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls. Earlier today at the Arc World Tour 2025–2026 Finals in Korea, we revealed the second team to appear in the game: the Amazing Guardians. If you haven’t seen the latest Team Reveal Trailer yet, be sure to check it out below. A new team...

The 2019 Call of Duty Modern Warfare is currently 90% off in the Steam Spring Sale, leading to bigger player counts than the modern game.

The 2009 film starring Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning as psychics is well worth a watch for Stranger Things and X-Men fans

Welcome to Rockfort Island. Hello folks, and welcome to another edition of Box Art Brawl! Last time, we looked at the overlooked DS title Mario Hoops 3 on 3, and it really wasn't a particularly close race. Although Europe / Japan performed admirably, the North American design easily won the day with 77% of the vote.

A battle cry against samey racers, but Screamer drifts wide of excellence

"I'm interested in your view," he begins, with that recognisably deep voice of his - and so it is that our conversation starts like a maths problem. Try this: consider that a voice recording has been heard at the beginning of many video game trailers for 16 years, and that some of those trailers have been watched millions of times. That's a vague set of variables but, ballpark, how many times do you think that recording has then been heard? Billions of times? "I was thinking of contacting the Gu...

One of the best Hades-style roguelikes I’ve played, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die offers unique mechanics and doesn’t outstay its welcome.

The game launches on Switch 1 & 2 this July. During Digimon Con 2026 this weekend, Bandai Namco announced it would be releasing a new large-scale expansion DLC for Digimon Story: Time Stranger. It's scheduled to arrive at some point in 2027, but no details have been revealed just yet. Here's the official announcement from the Digimon Game social media account:

Here's what's included. Nintendo has continued to improve Switch game compatibility on the Switch 2 and it's reportedly rolled out a new batch of fixes. This latest round of backward compatibility fixes apparently includes heavy-hitters such as Kirby, Final Fantasy and DOOM (which got a fix last month). Here's the full list via Nintendo Everything.

"Coming soon to Nintendo Switch 2". We've already heard about Red joining Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds this week, and now Two Point Museum has announced its own collab with Angry Birds. This is part of a new free "Spring Seasonal Update" and it's "coming soon" to the Switch 2 version of the game.

Plan your next playthrough of one of D&D's best videogame adaptations.

Starfield apparently won't be repeating the mistake.

Here's everything announced. Mojang aired its first major Minecraft Live broadcast of the year this weekend, and once again, it was packed with multiple announcements and reveals. If you didn't catch it live, here's the rundown:

Make your own joke about Leon's pickle.

Crimson Desert is, by many accounts, a video game. A not necessarily good one, a perhaps just ok to occasionally baffling video game that appears to be big for the sake of winning a pissing contest. It is also potentially a video game that is not being entirely honest about certain art assets being human-made or not.

Last month, a post caught some kind of virus and did the rounds, pondering why kids don't care about Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest so much anymore, wondering what they do plan now, and anecdotally findering that most of them just play Pokemon. And I truly have to wonder if Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida saw said post, given that in a recent bout of interviews with several key Final Fantasy figureheads in preparation for the next Dissidia game, he himself flat out acknowledged ...

Punished "Venom" Kalé.

Don't spend too long in the water though.

There could be one more step required before creating an account and posting on Reddit in the future. According to Reddit's CEO, Steve Huffman, the social media platform is exploring different ways to verify a user is human and not a bot. When asked by the TBPN podcast how to confirm that it's a human using Reddit, Huffman responded with several verification methods with varying degrees of heavy-handedness. RDDT requiring Face ID was not something I had on my bingo card but something has got to ...

"With peace restored, all was well until it wasn't."

I'm going to say it: bullet hells are more stressful than Souls-likes. Why are there 10,000 orbs approaching me, promising me misery and death! And I have to both tactfully dodge them while also staging a front myself? The visual information alone is enough to deteriorate the mind, memorising a list of attack patterns from some big dude with a sword seems like chump change by comparison. So this leaves me quite sweet on DeeSicks, a roguelike take on the game with physics-based dice rolling where...

Need something new for your reading list? Here are two titles we think are worth checking out. This week, we've got Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary and The Thing on the Doorstep, an H.P Lovecraft adaptation for Image Comics.  This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com​/entertainment/what-to-r​ead-this-weekend-revisit​ing-project-hail-mary-an​d-the-thing-on-the-doors​tep-190000250.html?src=r​ss

Minecraft Dungeons 2 will launch in 2026, introducing a new threat to the action-RPG spinoff, with “high-stakes combat and epic loot.”

Surprise! Minecraft Dungeons 2 is coming to PC via Xbox and Steam, PS5, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and Xbox Series and Game Pass later this year.

Palworld has honestly lived, and thrived, a lot longer than I honestly expected to. I guess the people really do want Pokemon with guns! As since its launch two years ago (ignore the coffee I've spat over my screen at that passage of time), there have been announcements for spin-offs in the form of Stardew Valley if it were Pokemon but actually it's Palworld, a dating sim that started as a joke but will now be real, and more recently, a card game. Despite all of that expansion, however, develope...

Everything from Nana to Death Parade offers a brisk, but immersive experience.

Meta has announced the discontinuation of end-to-end encryption on Instagram, reminding us once again of the importance of VPNs and the precariousness of online privacy.
