Nintendo of America and an IT contracting firm called Teksystems have been hit with a labor complaint alleging that the two companies have violated a pair of clauses of the National Labor Relations Act. The two companies are accused of interfering with union organization activities, and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) will have to decide what happens next.The complaint was filed on January 6, 2026, as Game File (paid article link) reports. It alleges that Nintendo and Teksystems have violated clauses 8(a)(1) and 8(a)(4) of the National Labor Relations Act, which established the NLRB as a federal agency and…

CES 2026 is underway in Las Vegas, and while Nvidia have passed on the opportunity to announce any new RTX 50 Super graphics cards – perhaps in the knowledge that they’d be hurled directly into the raging vortex of an ongoing component pricing snafu – the tech show has yielded some interesting GeForce news. Namely, there’s a new version of Nvidia DLSS, 4.5, launching today, that promises to sharpen up and boost performance on any RTX GPU.

You can’t swing a metaphorical, potentially otherworldly cat these days without hitting something related to Stranger Things. It’s all over my Netflix; it’s dominating my social media timelines: it’s everywhere. As the Duffer Brothers’ long-running saga finally draws to a close, Dead by Daylight has just dropped its second Stranger Things-inspired chapter on the PTB, adding both Jane ‘Eleven’ Hopper and Dustin Henderson as survivors, and a new take on classic D&D villain Vecna, who enters the fray for a second time. So let’s start with that last part. While the new DBD update adds Vecna, it’s a different iteration than the…

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s creative director Guillaume Broche says the team would have preferred the indie awards at The Game Awards go to different teams.Speaking to Edge – in an interview conducted before The Game Awards, where Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 received 9 awards, including Best Independent Game and best Debut Indie Game – Broche was asked, “Is Clair Obscur an indie game?” He explained, “In terms of budget, we are definitely more towards triple-I,” adding that “It’s weird because it’s a 3D game with the kind of graphics that don’t necessarily fit what you think of when you think…

Grab your dragons and don’t forget those quests, as a Dragon Quest VII Reimagined demo is set to pop up on Steam this week. It’ll offer a taster of the revamped RPG ahead of full release next month, and any progress you make in the demo’ll transfer right over, so you don’t have to worry about sprinting through early game sections again.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: L.A. Noire is, in my opinion, the greatest videogame ever made. Sure, it’s janky by modern standards, and its open world is perhaps a little less open than a lot of people expect from a Rockstar-backed game. But, for me, its story, soundtrack, and then-ground-breaking visual performances bring it to vibrant life. All these years later, nothing quite has the same aura as Team Bondi’s rusty detective game (pun entirely intended). Ahead of interviewing Adrian Chmielarz, the mastermind behind Painkiller, Bulletstorm, and Gears of War: Judgement, and now founder of Witchfire…

Okay, let’s face it, Marvel Phase 5 was a bit of a mixed bag. A couple of entries were genuinely good (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) and Deadpool and Wolverine killed it at the box office, but most offerings were middling – and some, here’s looking at you Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, were downright disasters.It’s no real surprise, then, that as we wait for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the hotly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday, fans are revisiting the MCU’s earlier chapters. On Reddit recently, someone pointed out that they rewatched Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which led to loads…

In what has become CPU tradition, AMD have announced a new fastest-ever gaming processor to replace their last fastest-ever gaming processor. The newcomer, detailed at CES 2026, is the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, which actually shares the same architecture, socket, core and thread counts, and power usage rating as the erstwhile big dog, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. It’s mainly a quicker maximum boost clock, up from 5.2GHz to 5.6GHz, that grants it a performance edge.

There’s nothing worse than a stuttering frame rate. Whether you can’t afford a modern graphics card because AI tech bros are hoarding them in data centers, that big new release isn’t quite optimized, or you’re just trying to play Crysis in the year of our lord 2026, poor performance is infuriating. However, it’s something you may have to suffer through while playing FPS Quest, a meta game which uses your frame rate as your health bar. If you want to survive, you’ll have to break the game itself and stutter to victory. Most of the best FPS games are those…

For as much as is in Baldur’s Gate 3 – and it’s a massive game – there’s plenty that hit the cutting room floor or simply feel by the wayside. Wyll, the beloved warlock, was a victim of the latter, as devs at Larian had much loftier goals for his storylines before life prevented them from coming to fruition.Kevin VanOrd, a senior writer at Larian, reveals he wanted more for Wyll during a Reddit AMA, saying: “”I wish Wyll had gotten more content and a more fulfilling arc too.” He explains: “A lot of decisions came later in development than…
