A bit ahead of its time. 20 years ago, Nintendo published some of its most boldly experimental games on the Game Boy Advance – and only in Japan. Released across two waves in July 2006 and developed largely by Skip Ltd., the studio behind Chibi-Robo!, the seven-game bit Generations collection stands out as some of the most abstract game design Nintendo has ever put its name to.

There have been rumours about a Dragon's Dogma 2 expansion since earlier this year. The fascinating game was well-received by critics, but as the public got to experience it, the conversation sadly turned away from how unique its hardcore systems were, and instead fixated on its terrible technical performance. Now, as producer Naoto Oyama and director Kenta Kinoshita get ready for the launch of the Dark Arisen DLC in October, they reflect on the original launch of the game - and how the arrival ...

Lego and Nintendo's collaborations have been among the most eye-catching and sought-after in recent years.

And perhaps the most ambitious one may be around the corner.

Apple captured a record 20% share of the global smartphone market in the second quarter of 2026, even as worldwide shipments fell 4% year-over-year amid an ongoing memory chip shortage, according to a new report from Omdia. It is Apple's best second-quarter showing on record, landing in what is normally its slowest stretch of the year. Omdia credits this to a strong iPhone 17 upgrade cycle, as well as Apple keeping prices flat across the lineup while rivals were forced to raise theirs. The firm ...

Good news! Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls' Steam backend no longer lists it as not being available for purchase in 132 countries. It's now only listed it as not being available for purchase in 117 countries. That's 15 whole countries removed from the list of excluded nations, which looks like it could be linked in some way to the need to have PSN account to access certain bits of the game.

Apple is developing a new API that will let third-party accessories, including Meta's Ray-Ban Meta glasses and Quest headsets, automatically pair across a user's Apple devices the same way AirPods and the Apple Watch do today, according to Apple's EU Interoperability Request page. The plan responds to a request Meta filed in October 2025 under the EU's Digital Markets Act, asking Apple to let a Meta device, once paired with one iPhone or iPad, automatically become available on a user's oth...

Did you know that microtransactions make games more fun? That might seem like a dubious statement, but it was one Ubisoft was more than happy to put its name to last year. However, it appears the company might have learned a lesson from the pushback it subsequently endured across the internet: as complaints around the newly released Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's microtransactions make headlines, it's been noticed Ubisoft's widely mocked "more fun" sentiment is conspicuously absent from ...

The promised PlayStation 4 and 5 ports of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 have arrived. But unfortunately, these updated releases have left players disappointed at the quality offered for the price. Activision is charging £35 ($40) for each Black Ops re-release, meaning a total of £70 ($80) if you want both. These prices do not include their DLC packs, either, which is unusual given how most game re-releases these days typically come with all associated content bundled in.

Last week, Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 developers Obsidian lost around quarter of their staff to Microsoft's mass layoffs. The studio were subsequently reported to be pivoting to start work on a new Fallout game helmed by New Vegas director Josh Sawyer, with a sequel to Avowed all but canned in the process. Cue, naturally, people like me discussing what sort of game the shift towards a new Fallout all these years after New Vegas could result in, and also some voices declaring that Obsidian jus...
