What's going on is that there's massive demand for games consoles now that nearly everyone's got to stay at home because of COVID-19. Meanwhile, with China having pretty much shut down for a couple of months in order to slow the spread of it, production schedules are also out of whack so in any case...

I've been re-watching all the Studio Ghibli movies on Netflix. They''ve been putting them on in batches of 7 and the final set just got added this morning.

My highlights: Xenoblade - Gets some exclusive content as well as the HD makeover. I guess I'm in for a third copy of the game then. Bioshock/Borderlands/X-Com 2 - All great games if you've not played them yet. Yet more cases of stub cartridges with huge downloads though. Catherine - Great puzzler w...

Yeah, fingers crossed and all the best from me too. Over here, all non-emergency surgery has been postponed indefinitely just before my wife was due to have an operation on Friday after waiting nearly a year. These definitely aren't the best times for people who've got ongoing medical issues. Sorry...

In all honesty, I'm not sure the PC Engine Mini should exist in the West, at least not at this stage; that's not to say that the hardware won't be good - as early indications seem very positive - but that they've missed the boat. It's certainly not likely to shift that many units outside Japan, alth...

I'd be surprised. Let's face it. Sega keep rehashing their Mega Drive games over and over because that's the only time they were a really big deal. Machines like the Saturn, Master System and Dreamcast only ever hit the mark for a niche audience, and simply don't hold the same nostalgia value for mo...

Time to dig out the Wii Fit, I guess.

Animal Crossing is finally out now, so I've taken the opportunity to pick up a Switch Lite.

For what it's worth, Australia started ahead of you with the panic buying. I dare say that it's sensible to keep a couple of week's worth of long shelflife groceries in the house just in case of civil emergencies. We've had drought, bushfires, floods and damaging storms in the past year alone, so th...

He might as well have entitled it "How to dig your own grave in 15 pages."

There are a few people picking it apart over on Atari Age, not that they really need to

Hmmm. Saw Parasite. Normally oscar winners mean in my language avoid the film like the plague. It was alright, think over hyped, think i expected more due to all the praise. Its a watch once and never again film I'd think that it's a case of the award going to someone on the merits of their previou...

They've u-turned on that and there'll now be a physical release. Don't be too surprised if it's another case of just getting a stub on an 8GB cart while you download the rest though. That wouldn't surprise me at all. Nintendo really need to bring down the price of the higher capacity cards. We're o...

Pinball works just fine on Windows 10. It's only, after all, using DirectX for the graphics and sound and current versions are backwards compatible with it. Just download the installer (not going to give direct links but it's easy to find) and you're on your way. Same goes for all the Windows 7 game...

Same deal for the recently announced Outer Worlds port. You get a case, with a download code inside. Totally pointless, and a waste of plastic. They've u-turned on that and there'll now be a physical release. Don't be too surprised if it's another case of just getting a stub on an 8GB cart while yo...
