On Friday, while on the phone to friend of this parish Jeremy Peel, I knocked an entire mug of tea over my laptop. I won’t immortalise in text what I said in that moment; it’s for the best that those curses are lost to the aether. I immediately shut down the PC, mopped it clean with a kitchen towel, and flipped it over, leaving it splayed open to air dry. I even went so far as to plonk it down in front of a dehumidifier to really sap the tea out of the machine.* There it sat for two days,…
When the Steam Machine was announced just a few months ago, a lot of the hype around it was deservedly because of the amazing-looking hardware and the knowledge that SteamOS would make for an incredible living room gaming PC experience. However, a great deal of that excitement was also due to the hope that Valve might release the Steam Machine at a price that would rival game consoles. However, a new Steam Machine rumor suggests that won’t be the case. Despite this rumor, we still expect the Steam Machine to be one of the best gaming PC options available when…
Sega and Atlus’s Persona 30th anniversary website quietly mentions “the next chapter” in the series, fans have discovered.Persona celebrates 30 years in 2026, with Sega promising to mark the occasion with “special events, anniversary merchandise, and more”.So far, Atlus has announced Persona 4 Revival for release sometime after April 2026, but it’s the unannounced Persona 6 that fans have been most anticipating, considering Persona 5 is now nearly a decade old.Potentially increasing the likelihood of news on that front is the Google snippet for the official Persona 30th-anniversary site.As spotted by social media users, the snippet reads: “2026 marks the 30th…
Nintendo’s president, Shuntaro Furukawa, has refused to comment on the possibility of a Switch 2 price increase but promises that the company is developing games in series that fans are waiting for.Barring the highly unlikely case that a game gets announced and released before June, the Nintendo Switch 2 is the first home console from the company to not feature a main series Super Mario (Mario Bros. in the Famicom’s case) or The Legend of Zelda game within the first year of its launch. Sure, Donkey Kong Bananza filled the role of a 3D Mario game – and surpassed them,…
Well, it was inevitable really. Here I sit, a day before Hytale’s early access release, to tell you that a modder has already managed to get a blocky version of classic Doom running in it. Add it to the list of weird places to play the shooter, which already included (inhales) human test, lawnmower, electric toothbrush, tractor, the bad social media place, pregancy test, and gut bacteria.
Some things feel inevitable. Multiple GTA 6 delays. Half-Life 3 (let me dream). Palworld upsetting Nintendo. In its latest endeavor, Pocketpair has confirmed that it’s making a Palworld TCG inspired by its hit survival game; y’know, the one that Nintendo has sued over? There’s having balls, then there’s having balls (pun intended). Announced on Monday January 12, Palworld TCG spinoff is set to compete with the likes of MTG, Star Wars Unlimited, and, of course, Nintendo’s Pokemon TCG. You can purchase and trade cards featuring all of your favorite Pals, including, umm, the one that looks a bit like Lucario,…

Original RPG notes that helped shape the lore of The Elder Scrolls series have been uncovered and archived, offering a look at how the world of Tamriel was brought to life by its creators.In a joint effort, two Elder Scrolls archival projects – the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages (UESP) and The Imperial Library – have shared campaign notes from games of D&D played inside the world of Tamriel. These notes come from the estate of Julian LeFay, the Bethesda veteran described as “father of The Elder Scrolls” who died in July 2025, and detail two campaigns he ran during the…
When I looked back on 2025 to assemble my advent calendar votes, I was surprised how many of them were smaller titles, especially in a year that saw both a new Silent Hill and Doom hitting the shelves. But then I remembered this year the Steam algorithm’s whispered in my ear like the Green Goblin Mask to Norman Osborn, guiding me to lovely indie gems (and telling me to squash that Spider-Man). Neither Doom: The Dark Ages nor Silent Hill f could trump the fun I had playing the smaller delights. When the final Advent Calendar votes were tallied, a…
