Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is a “tactical fleet simulator,” which basically means it’s a sci-fi strategy game with real-time combat set in the cold black void of (Tim Curry voice) space. It’s quite well regarded—PC Gamer magazine gave it an 83% review score in April 2005, according to Metacritic—but, as you can tell by that … Read more

XA couple weeks after its early access launch, things are going mostly pretty well for the steampunk-mechs-in-the-desert game Sand: Raiders of Sophie. An update that rolled out on July 2 caused some surprise headaches and had to be rolled back, which isn’t great, but on the brighter side the game looks to be a legitimate … Read more

As big-budget, blockbuster PC games have become increasingly more packed with cutting-edge graphics over the years, their minimum hardware requirements have naturally scaled upwards too. But there’s one forthcoming game that has taken that quite a lot further than you’d expect, with the memory specs likely to cause more than a few raised eyebrows. It’s … Read more

Funky fresh hardware sports a price tag that makes my eyes water—so some companies are considering firing up production on older product lines again. Rumours suggest that Intel is next. Apparently, Intel plans to increase supply of its 10th, 12th, 13th, 14th generation CPUs—that’s everything from 2020’s Comet Lake up to the latest 2023 iteration … Read more

Palantir CEO Alex Karp was recently interviewed by CNBC, where he gave an impassioned decry that the current AI market is not working, urged other panellists to call up CEOs and test his hypothesis, and made clear that his nervous energy was not in any way related to any substance usage. Yeah, it’s a strange … Read more

Names poached from Tolkien’s works. Glossy websites, packed with animations and all kinds of promises. Slightly ludicrous tech demonstration. All the hallmarks of today’s tech companies, one might think. But in the case of one nuclear power start-up, the super-slick marketing is actually a good reminder that AI’s rampant hunger for energy needs can’t be … Read more

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, in my humble opinion, deserves the laurels it got—it’s a gorgeous, inventive, personality-filled romp with an ending that rips your heart out and stomps it into a pulp fine enough for use in paint. But I’d hesitate to call it ‘perfect’, mostly because I don’t believe in perfection as a concept, … Read more

Here’s my problem with Kingdom Come: Deliverance—it’s simply not finicky enough. It’s too straightforward, I am too able to keep its rules and demands in my head, the game does not compel me to keep track of enough small things. Oh, you expect me to put my armour on in a precise order? That’s complicated. … Read more

SK hynix, one of the three biggest memory manufacturers (along with Samsung and Micron), seems to be investing a lot of money into AI, and the South Korean government is happy to see that renewed investment. This time, it’s to the tune of 100 trillion won (or $65 billion as of the time of writing). … Read more

I have a couple of very vague memories of playing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League back when it released a couple of years ago. Mostly, I remember thinking ‘meh’. Some of the action was quite fun—although it quickly lost its charm—I didn’t mesh with any of the characters and their hit-and-miss humour, but its … Read more
