One of these justifications…

Hearts of Iron 4 Thunder at our Gates just brought three undervalued WW2 players to life

New Hearts of Iron 4 expansion Thunder at our Gates has just arrived, and it’s all about stepping into the heart of command. The new ‘theater pack’ continues to grow the now decade-old WW2 game (happy tenth birthday, HoI 4, you’ve now lasted 60% longer than the conflict you’re based on) across three nations that…

Ocarina of Time remake revives a Zelda dream killed 15 years ago

The orchestra built up to a crescendo. Behind them, a montage of every The Legend of Zelda game flowed like a tapestry. As the vocalists belted out that adventurous theme song we all know, the stage behind them glowed green. It was almost like being in the middle of a boss battle, except at the…

I love a strange keyboard, or a weird controller (here’s looking at you Victrix Pro BFG), but I’ve discovered I might be a bit more traditional about my gaming mouse preferences, if this DIY fingertip mouse is anything to go on. To be fair, it could be the whole ‘spider-like mouse where you can see…
