It's a very specific product for a very specific sort of person - but if that person is you, the Analogue 3D is another total slam dunk. It's excellent. More thoughts: www.eurogamer.net/analogue-3d-...
Analogue 3D review - better late than never, this N64 redux is another best-in-class retro experience
Analogue is back with a new high-end retro console - and this time it's the N64 getting the update treatment. But is it any good?

FF14 getting this nom and not Warframe yet again is like so depressing lmao.
FF14 being nominated for best ongoing in a year when I have seen its players do very little but constantly complain about a quality dip, with devs even copping to it, while Street Fighter 6 on a total tear not even getting a nod is making my head spin

Who doesn't love a slightly mid launch title with ambitious ideas? The 360 had some all-timers, including a particular favourite of mine, which I've written about today as part of Eurogamer's coverage marking the 360's 20th, which is this week: www.eurogamer.net/a-love-lette...

I'm replaying Rogue Trader again and the game is in a much better state now, new DLC content seems pretty dope. Rest in peace old Argenta who could unload an entire mag into a boss in a single turn and do a million damage.

It'll be another aquisition by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in a pair of fake glasses and moustache.
Ubisoft just postponed its earnings report and halted the trading of its shares. Unclear why at this point but could indicate a major announcement related to the company.
