I am shocked to discover that this is the first time we’ve written about Amberspire, the new sci-fi city builder from Nic Tringali, developer of starfaring monastic strategy game The Banished Vault. Shocked, I tell you! It’s set on a gas giant moon, looks a bit like isometric Sable, features dice with arcane symbols, and challenges you to “cohabit” with an ecology of ooze, silica and rust, rather than turning everything into a mall. It’s the kind of speculative fiction racket an eco-vibing hipster like myself goes crackers over, and here I am announcing Amberspire to you with the release…

“How much have I spent on League of Legends?” Words that have, no doubt, crossed your mind at some point, then been hastily batted away as you realize you probably don’t want to know. An RP bundle here, a skin there: it all starts to mount up, especially if you’re planning on picking up some of the MOBA’s more costly items. If you’re looking for some free psychic damage, we’ve got you covered – especially since Riot removed the easy way to check how much cash you’ve sunk into its game. Perhaps that was a good thing. As you’re likely…

Nintendo has released a demo for its upcoming game Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.The third game in the Tomodachi series, Living the Dream is a life sim where players create Mii characters, make them befriend each other and try to improve the overall happiness of the island they live on.It’s also heavily customisable, with players able to not only edit the island and its residents, but also use its image editing tools to draw a number of other interactive objects such as food and scenery.The new demo, titled Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream – Welcome Version, lets players create up…

For many Fallout fans, New Vegas represents the upper echelon of the series. Obsidian’s take on the wasteland is nuanced, grounded and a little darker than Bethesda’s modern mainline entries. Former devs on 3 and 4 respect how Obsidian tackled the property, but they feel the comparisons can be a little unfair to what Bethesda achieved.”I initially felt a little touchy about it,” Jonah Lobe, a character artist on Fallouts 3 and 4, says of fans constantly talking up New Vegas on the Kiwi Talkz podcast. “We made 90% of the art, we built the engine, we did it in…

Phwoar, look at that striking steeple on the horizon, I thought after arriving in Crimson Desert’s first town. I was playing a man I was fairly sure I couldn’t give a toss about, embroiled in a conflict I also couldn’t give a toss about, but that tower. Man, it took my breath away. Who could dwell within it? Who first built it? Can I climb it? Where did they get all of that stone? These questions buzzed around my belfry-addled brain. ‘Hey, stay on track,’ argued another bit of my grey matter, ‘you’ve got a train to find’. ‘Train can…

Mashle Academy codes can kickstart your magical education journey with a healthy helping of Gold and Silver coins. If you happen to fall foul of the relevant hallway authorities, one will get you out of detention, with another fixing any avatar-related bugs you might run into during the early days of this ambitious Roblox wizard school experience. Though you’ll struggle to get into Mashle Academy before its doors open to the wider public, those willing to pick up an expensive gamepass can enroll just in time for Wave 2. We’ll undoubtedly find more codes to redeem once the full release…

Nintendo of America has announced that, beginning in May, it will introduce differing pricing for physical and digital versions of its Switch 2 games.The policy will begin with the release of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. While Nintendo did not confirm how the pricing would differ, pre-orders have now confirmed that Yoshi will retail for $10 more ($70) physically than digitally.In some regions, such as the UK, physical Nintendo games have already been more expensive for Switch 2 titles. For example, Donkey Kong Banaza and Mario Kart World cost about £8 more as boxed games.“Beginning in May 2026, and starting…

I know, I know, a handheld should be hand… held. But hear me out here.I’ve been using the Razer Joro with my portable setup for just under a year now and if you use your Steam Deck in the same way as me it’s an easy recommendation. I love crunching over a handheld system, but one of the biggest benefits of my Asus ROG Ally is its ability to plug in wherever I find myself. With one of the best Steam Deck docks in-hand, I’m playing on the big and small screen – Switch style.That’s where the Razer Joro comes…

One of my most useful tech purchases in recent times hasn’t been anythng big or flashy, but a humble Ugreen SSD enclosure. It essentially takes any spare M.2 drive you might have laying around and turns it into a fast external SSD, with minimul fuss and for a lot less cash than just buying a whole new portable drive. I’ve done this with a 2TB Crucial P310 I had left over, and it’s worked a treat for the last year. At Amazon, it’s down to £16 in the UK and $16 in the USA. The latter is for Amazon’s Spring…

Sometimes I sit staring at my game library and wish for Titanfall 3, and I know I’m not alone. There’s been nothing in the years since Titanfall 2 that quite captures the magic of Respawn’s sublime FPS games, and even Apex Legends puts safety rails on the movement tech that made it so special. Splitgate developer 1047 Games is ready to take up the mantle, however, confirming that it’s currently developing a game inspired by both the Respawn classics and fellow wall-running multiplayer games like Call of Duty Black Ops 3. After revealing the details for Splitgate: Arena Reloaded Season…
