I get locked out of my house quite a lot. By “I get locked out,” I mean that I contrive to accidentally lock myself out. By “quite a lot”, I probably mean it happens two or three or four times a year. Which is absolutely enough, thanks. (Maybe five times a year.) Anyway, the best part of a decade ago I got locked out of my house quite late at night, and the only locksmith who would come and help was from Newhaven, which was a fair distance away. Hero! The locksmith’s name was Matt, and I am so happy…

If, like me, you’ve been eagerly awaited news of Portal 3 for the last decade and a bit, I’m afraid today is still not your lucky day.

But what actually is it?, you may be wondering. Well,…

The Steam Deck is easily one of the most anticipated pieces of PC gaming tech since… well, maybe ever? The promise of carrying the entirety of your Steam library wherever you go on this bulky but well-designed and relatively powerful handheld gaming device is massively alluring, especially to those of us who continuously fatten our backlog with each passing Steam sale. And after a couple of weeks of gaming on Valve’s ambitious handheld PC I can say that a lot of the time it does live up to that hype. In fact, when it’s working at its full potential it’s…

Amidst bumper acquisitions and a multitude of mega new releases, NFTs have garnered many headlines across the industry in 2022 – from big publishers like EA and Ubisoft toying with the controversial blockchain technology to flashpoints like Team 17 quickly embracing it then having to deal with the immediate fallout.

With minimal tweaking, you’re playing Horizon Zero Dawn or God of War at native resolution at 30fps and to put it frankly, that’s quite a marvel to behold. Steam Deck isn’t a cutting-edge PlayStation Vita successor though – it’s so much more than that.
