In its latest Q2 financial report, AMD had good news for investors and fans of Radeon graphics cards. Gaming revenue was up 73% compared to this time last year, and no small part of this has been down to the success of the RX 9000-series of graphics cards.

It's 3 am. You can't sleep. You're tossing and turning because you simply must speak to your MP to ask them what their favourite crisp flavour is. Or if they'd be up for reintroducing the death penalty. Or how they feel about the many pointless uses of AI that are being foisted upon us.Good news! Your MP might be asleep, but an unnerving homunculus pretending to be Mark Sewards, MP...
Some facts about videogame canon you wish you could scrub not just from the internet, but your very own mind. Unfortunately, I am burdened with the unenviable task of informing you of things that are true, and it is apparently very much true that a bunch of well-paid Americans, sitting around a room, had the fleeting thought: What if we gave Pikachu a heaving bosom.It's an old anecdote, over two...

With a name like that, I thought, it's probably just a breezy little game where you dig up gems.And it is. At first. As an industrious little mole in Gemporium, I've just inherited a cozy home and gemshop from my dearly departed grandmole,...

Except for one minor thing that occasionally makes me want to smash them into small pieces with a hammer.See, the goddamn things will not stop going to sleep. It's not a defect or a user...
For my money, Metal Gear Solid 5 remains the watermark for open world action games thanks to its excellent espionage toybox, its mercenary company management systems, and the timeless satisfaction of abducting enemy combatants with a little balloon. 10 years after its launch, it just got even better thanks to Dynamite, a functioning two-player MGS5 co-op mod from modder unknown321.According to a lengthy "Making Of" memoir included in the Dynamite...

Well, that's not gonna be how Battlefield 6 does it anymore.That's according to an X post from the Battlefield Comms account ahead of the Battlefield 6 open beta.
