The new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer gives us our first look at one of the Disney-themed worlds you will get to explore. This first world is based on Pixar's Coco, the 2017 film that takes place mainly within the...

Twitch knew nobody would enable the feature, so they enabled it for everyone by default.

The popular streaming platform Twitch just rolled out a new feature today that allows Twitch's parent company, Amazon, to train generative AI models on users' channels. This setting is enabled by default for everybody on Twitch, but there is a way to toggle it off.

Oh boy.

Agefield High: Rock the School is now available through Steam. This game has consistently promoted itself as being inspired by the "raunchy" coming of age teen comedies from the early 2000s. It's also taken heavy inspiration from Bully, the 2008 Rockstar Games title that everybody keeps wanting to see a sequel for.

Critic reviews for Agefield High are few and far between at present. Of the four professional reviews that have gone live, the high score...

A retrospective was also shared.

It's all thanks to the Switch 2 release.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered was just released on the Nintendo Switch 2 today. The game has been available on other platforms since April 2025 but the patches have been severely lacking. The game released with rather significant performance issues on nearly all platforms, perhaps due to the fact that it's an Unreal Engine 5 coat of paint on top of Gamebryo for game logic. That's a real one-two punch of performance issues working...

Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

SpeedRunners 2 will launch on September 3, according to a new announcement from tinyBuild and Fair Play Labs. SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed will once again pit zippy little runners against each other in a fierce competition to see who is the fastest, the most agile, and the most cunning.
