Looking for cool tech gadgets? No matter who you are, it’s pretty much impossible to say that technology hasn’t affected your life in some way, shape, or form. Whether it’s the smartphone in your pocket, the screen on which you’re reading this, or even smart devices in your home that control things like your lights

The Nintendo 3DS is one of the most popular handheld consoles of all time. According to sales data, the 3DS managed to sell 75.94 million units across its lifetime, which puts it slightly behind the PlayStation Portable (or PSP) and a fair distance ahead of the NES. While that means the 3DS didn’t quite achieve

When it comes to dispatching bosses – or, indeed, other players – in gaming, you want the most powerful weapon available. Your arsenal needs to be filled with screen-clearing laser rifles and powerful explosives, especially if the game in question is a power fantasy allowing you to live out your wildest demon-slaying dreams. Gaming is

It’s finally happened. After many years of speculation, rumours, and leaks, Rockstar has officially unveiled the next chapter in the Grand Theft Auto series, Grand Theft Auto 6. A new trailer was released for the game on December 5th, several hours early, after being leaked ahead of its intended release window. That trailer may not

At the time of writing, the PlayStation 4 is the fifth best-selling console of all time, managing to shift an astonishing 117.2 million units across its lifetime. Technically, of course, the PS4 is still going strong; many games are still being produced for the console, and while support is arguably winding down now, the PS5

The PlayStation 2 is arguably the greatest video game console of all time. It played host to a golden age of excellent games, including Shadow of the Colossus, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening, to name but a few. As is very often

It’s fair to say that as time goes on, the PlayStation 4 is losing more and more support from both Sony and third-party studios.  There are, of course, still plenty of great gaming experiences to be had with Sony’s last-gen machine, with a huge amount of PS4 games available, but if you’re still a PS4-exclusive

Tis the season to be jolly, as they say, and it’s also the season to take time off work and finally get around to that backlog you’ve been meaning to tackle. December is usually a quieter month for game releases, and that’s certainly the case in 2023 as well, although your Xbox Series X/S can’t

Another month has gone by without Nintendo mentioning the successor to the Switch, so it’s starting to look like it might be a while before we hear anything concrete about it. Still, that does make a certain kind of sense. While the Switch is certainly aging from a technical perspective, the library for the machine

If you want the best and most versatile gaming platform around, then your best bet is probably to buy a PC, unless you’re particularly wedded to physical releases. While it may not be quite as convenient as other platforms – and you might miss out on certain exclusives – you’re still able to play the

Recently, Nintendo announced that it would be ending online support for 3DS and Wii U games. Along with the closure of the 3DS eShop earlier this year, the announcement effectively marked the final end of the 3DS and Wii U era; of course, no new games were being produced for the consoles, but this feels

Ah, the humble platformer. Who would have thought that simply leaping from platform to platform, perhaps collecting a few things along the way, would provide such a compelling experience? From 1985’s Super Mario Bros all the way to more modern offerings like A Hat In Time or Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, platformers have kept
