A few weeks ago, I became so irked at a boss battle that I smashed my Xbox wireless controller upon my desk. A loud crunch resulted. My rage quickly melted into horror as I turned my head downwards and realised that lo and behold, my gaming table now had a hole in it. It was the human form of Nioh 3’s Takeda Shingen, so not even the toughest boss in the game – merely one who managed to vex me in a very particular manner on a trying day, resulting in the aforementioned cavity decorating the piece of Ikea MDF…

A Steam Machine update reignited release date fears, but Valve say the new hardware is still shipping this year
Valve have reworded a Steam blog post after its original, unsure-sounding text left open the possibility of further long-term delays to the new Steam Machine. The 2025 Year in Review article only briefly touches on the Machine, as well as the upcoming Steam Controller redesign and the Steam Frame VR headset, but its previous phrasing of “We hope to ship in 2026” – accompanied by a reminder of ongoing and widespread memory shortages – did have the kind of noncommittal yeah-we’ll-seeism that one might apply when responding to an unwanted dinner party invitation. The grim possibility of another delay, this…

This latest documentation could very well indicate that id’s pioneering 3D shooter could be in line for similar treatment, but for now I’m not convinced. On March 3, 2026, ZeniMax popped in a fresh application to trademark Quake. Seeing as word mark…

Big Walk could be your next Peak-like obsession, but fair warning: it's almost too easy to kick things and you're going to do it
What are the playable characters in Big Walk, the upcoming social multiplayer walker-talker game from developer House House of Untitled Goose Game fame? Having played a couple of hours at a recent hands-on in-person preview, I’m still unsure. Ants? Birds? Humans? They’ve got distorted heads with bulbous protrusions that get larger when speaking, spindly limbs, and what I can only describe as a snowman-style body of multiple orbs. It’s unclear, and House House isn’t interested in clarifying.”That’s for you to decide,” says House House developer Nico Disseldorp when I ask. “We’ve kind of left a lot of built-in ambiguity –…
