Finally, CRKD is launching a pro controller that's shaped like a regular gamepad, and it promises TMR thumbsticks, six extra buttons, and a sub-$100 price tag
Since its arrival in the gaming peripheral market in 2023, CRKD has been one of the standout brands in this space, but it’s mainly specialised in making quirky, niche products that no other brand has really been targeting. It kicked things off with the Nitro Deck handheld mode controllers for Switch; it’s made tiny, retro, and rhythm game controllers, but now, at long last, it’s launching a “regular” pro gamepad that will take on some of the best PC controllers on the market.The CRKD Ult Pro looks anything but regular, however. It’s only going to set you back $69.99 /…

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says latest layoffs will result in "a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality folks" because the downsizing "wasn't a performance-based 'rightsizing'"
Tim Sweeney wants the world to know that the more than 1,000 workers laid off in the latest Epic Games downsizing are great hires.This week, Epic let go of more than 1,000 employees, with Sweeney blaming a “downturn in Fortnite engagement” as well as “industry-wide challenges” and factors “unique to Epic” in a letter to staff. Today, he’s encouraging employers and recruiters to keep an eye out for resumes coming from the talented people he no longer employs.”In the coming days, employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality folks,” reads a tweet from Sweeney, insisting that the…
They’re watching me. They have to be. For a game to come out that is so targeted, so laser-focused to suit me, there must be some kind of surveillance involved. A deck-building card game based on football stickers from the ’90s? Forget about it. A game that gives me the chance to lead my beloved Everton to the glory we never had? Double forget about it. Football (soccer) in the ’80s and ’90s had a different flavor. It was a time when big hair was in, shirts were baggy, and players became things of myth. It wasn’t the Moneyball, tactics…
Calling all Wizarding World fans, we’ve just got a new proper look at the Harry Potter TV series, and that means that our big return to Hogwarts is just around the corner.HBO has been developing a new TV show, adapting the adventures of “The Boy Who Lived” aka Harry Potter, since 2021. And now, after years of waiting, it looks like season 1’s production is on track and will be with us this year via the streaming service HBO Max. However, there is a lot of love for the original books and all the Harry Potter movies from the 2000s,…
The Payday series has had its fair share of ups and downs at this point. The first game showed promise, and Payday 2 put itself on the map as one of the best FPS games on PC, remaining an essential addition to your Steam library (and it’s on sale often for just a couple of bucks, too). Payday 3 is, well, the less said, the better, and now, a new team is taking a shot at an interesting spin-off. Payday: Aces High brings that same co-op heist chaos, but you’ll need to own a VR headset to play it. After…
I asked about Arc Raiders' mystery ships and a dev told me the same thing Embark is now teasing online: "I think you'll have to keep an eye on the sky for now"
The big Arc Raiders Flashpoint update is fast approaching, and ahead of the March 31 rollout, developer Embark Studios has begun a social media campaign teasing what looks like a powerful new Arc enemy.C0NTΔCT L0ST… M3LTΞD >>> ________[ team ] NΞVΞR RΞTURNΞD // signal.err VΔP0R1ZΞD // signal.err[ no signal ] pic.twitter.com/3xEIp4s7juMarch 25, 2026A short clip with robotic captioning suggests a few innocent raiders got themselves vaporized.

I wish I were melting my brain in Screenbound right now instead of simply writing about it, and I'm not bitter about it at all
Look, it’s not that I don’t want to write about Screenbound, the upcoming puzzle platformer developed by Crescent Moon Games and Radical Forge, I’d just much rather be playing it, all things being equal. But Screenbound isn’t out quite yet, so the best I can do is evangelize it while recalling the highs of navigating two retro screens at once while attempting to parse its colorful, deadly world.If you’ve not seen the previously viral trailers, Screenbound is… well, the name gives it away, actually. The player discovers a strange Game Boy-like device – a Qboy – that functions as a…
After 37 years, cult classic NES Friday the 13th game has a fan remake made "from scratch" for Game Boy Color, and this time around you can actually take down Jason Voorhees
You and your friends are dead. Game over. 37 years later, 8-bit Jason Voorhees is back with a few more bits thanks to a fan-made remake of the cult classic Friday the 13th NES game built from the ground up for Game Boy Color.I have a love hate relationship with NES Friday the 13th. It’s objectively bad, but it’s by far my favorite of developer LJN’s many retro atrocities. That might be because it’s about Jason Voorhees, my favorite horror slasher, but I also genuinely enjoy its mood and tone and think its jump scares were innovative for the time.…
Warhammer 40K 11th Edition has finally broken cover and is charging straight for us ahead of a June release date, chainsword raised.Following months of speculation, the Warhammer AdeptiCon 2026 livestream has given us our first look at the revitalized wargame – and it launches with a massive box set called “Armageddon,” featuring Blood Angels Space Marines vs. Orks. In terms of how it plays, Warhammer 40K 11th Edition features tweaked rules based on streamlining and community feedback rather than a dramatic overhaul. Chief amongst these is the fact that existing army books (AKA Codexes) will still be valid in this…
