Syfy’s upcoming Nightflyer , a George R.R. Martin adaptation about a haunted spaceship, is a lot of things. It’s science fiction; it’s horror; and above all else, it’s big. “One of the things that struck me about Nightflyers is that even as a 100-page novella it creates a huge world,” showrunner Jeff Buhler says. “That’s what was so thrilling and exciting about the story.” Buhler, who previously adapted Clive Barker’s The Midnight Meat Train, started as a writer on the series and was soon elevated to showrunner....

The Game and Watch handhelds were first manufactured by Nintendo between 1980 and 1991 and were really cool, portable pieces of tech back then. 40 years on from the initial release, Nintendo launched a limited run of Game and Watch: Super Mario Bros. that contained full NES versions of Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. The new Game and Watch is pure nostalgia and a great collectible to sit on any Nintendo fans’ shelves or a display in your games room....

From August 28 through October 15, you can head up to Cold Stone and order either a Rainbow Sprinkle Road cake, or a Mario & Luigi’s Masterpiece sundae, and decide for yourself just how well these flavors represent the world of Mario.

Nom Nom Apocalypse is a game that truly enjoys its food puns. If there’s an opportunity to make a reference to an aspect of food preparation, the makers of this game take it without a moment of hesitation. But perhaps some of the time spent crafting culinary wordplay should have spent on other areas of development. Nom Nom Apocalypse aims to be a gourmet take on arcade, top-down shooting, but it ends up feeling like a greasy, fast-food version of better games....

Nvidia’s RTX 3060 was one of the worst kept secrets in hardware leading up to its release. Multiple leaks confirmed the card’s existence, and once it was finally announced, there weren’t many surprises. The biggest shocker was how much GDDR6 memory the GPU would come packed with, but beyond that, there wasn’t anything surprising. However, Nvidia has played coy with the card’s full list of specs. Until today’s update to Nvidia’s store page for the RTX 3060 family of cards, we didn’t know exactly what was going on inside the lil’ bugger....

In celebration of the start of the 2011 baseball season, 2K Sports has kicked off their MLB 2K11 Million Dollar Perfect Game Challenge.

Since players are competing for a very large chunk of change, 2K Sports has outlined some very specific rules for any would-be MLB 2K11 Challenge participant....

While other games in the Shantae series are already available on PlayStation, one has been missing for some time - the original.

Another Windows 10 update, another batch of new problems for users, and this time, it impacts gaming performance quite a bit. The updates — KB5001330 and KB5000842 — are reported to be causing stuttering, framerate drops, and even random Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) crashes. To make matters worse, it doesn’t appear to impact a specific piece of hardware. Both Nvidia and AMD users alike have reported the problems. “My fps (frames per second) cut half before my Forza was 110+ fps now 40fps,” one Reddit user reported....

MLB The Show 22 on PS5 Baseball is back. MLB The Show 22 is here and as with every year, it’s promised to be the biggest one yet.

But every baseball fan knows that a good team on paper still needs to prove its worth on the field. Right off the bat, MLB The Show 22 passes the eye test....

Activision has dropped this year’s celebrity filled trailer for Call of Duty, with Modern Warfare 2’s Squad Up trailer.

Secrets were a weird thing in the old days because of the lack of internet. We only had two real sources of information when it came to video game news: magazines or hearsay from kids at school. The latter was problematic due to the strange phenomenon of, “My father/uncle works at Nintendo and…” Virtually everyone who grew up in the NES era knew one kid who insisted that he had a relative working at Nintendo, which meant he was going to be spouting off so much bullshit, like how there’s a way to play as Bowser in Super Mario Bros....

DDR5 RAM really has begun to come down in price as the last couple of years have rumbled on, and 2023 has already seen some pretty decent RAM deals come about - a case in point is this excellent set of 32GB DDR5 5200MHz RAM from Adata, which Tech Next Day has for £116 with code TND-10. XPG Lancer RGB 32GB DDR5-5200 for £116 w/ code TND-10 (was £126) DDR5 certainly has ushered in a new age of speed when it comes to RAM, and this Adata kit is rated for up to 5200 MT/s, which is a major boost when it’s compared to older DDR4 kits - and slightly, measurably beyond the base DDR5-4800 JEDEC spec....

Fans were certainly excited to hear a Legend of Zelda title would arrive shortly after launch for the Nintendo 3DS but anyone hoping for a fresh adventure may have been a bit let-down (especially while we wait for Skyward Sword) to hear that the upcoming 3DS launch title would merely be a 3D version of the Nintendo 64 classic, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. That said, there’s no doubt that plenty of gamers will be lining up to replay the fan-favorite title in 3D when it launches mid-summer....

It looks like Sony is trying to improve its VR offering, as a recent patent suggests that the company is developing a new VR motion controller. The device offers many of the same features as the Valve Index — such as finger tracking — although it’s unlikely this device will launch anytime soon. The patent reveals that the “Controller Device” can detect any movement of the player’s hand and features an array of sensors that can monitor finger location....
