Marathon’s ARG, Discord systems, and live events built its live-service experience years before players ever set foot on Tau Ceti IV.

As the mainline series shifts from generation to generation, so does which Pokémon are available, access to specific Pokémon, methods for training those Pokémon, the introduction of new moves, abilities, and held items, as well as a continued cycle of overpowered strategies and how to counter them. It’s very easy to fall behind. I myself fell behind after skipping most of the Pokémon Scarlet & ...

Amazon’s satellite-based internet service, Leo, will enter service by mid-2026, so says company CEO Andy Jassy. Writing in his annual letter, Jassy claimed Leo would offer download speeds of up to 1Gbps, far more than what Starlink presently offers. Sadly, Amazon declined to offer any more details about what that mid-2026 service would look like. But given select partners have already been kicking Leo’s tyres for a while, we can only hope. The mega-retailer is making some grand promises, includi...

Doctors hate this one simple Dock trick. Even if we overlook the limited launch Pokémon, the swathe of bugs, and the strange monetisation, Pokémon Champions still had more issues up its sleeve — talk about a dramatic launch, eh? Those playing in Docked Mode on Switch 2 might have noticed that the latest battler looked... a bit naff. Up on the TV, the game still doesn't hit the promised 4K resolution, with the stretched image looking all the worse as a consequence. Thankfully, there is a fix, but...
