I launched my amphibious friends to the beat in Rhythm Heaven Groove — it’s a great continuation of what came before and a wonderfully whimsical time on Nintendo Switch
The latest installment in Nintendo’s weird and wacky rhythm game franchise has finally landed with Rhythm Heaven Groove (known as Rhythm Paradise Groove in PAL regions). It’s a game that sticks closely to its foundations: there’s a simplistic control scheme, cartoonish art style, and a set of frankly surreal levels to sift through.Review infoPlatform reviewed: Nintendo SwitchAvailable on: Nintendo Switch (also playable on Nintendo Switch 2)Release date: July 2, 2026Th
Fable was easily one of the best things I saw at Summer Game Fest 2026, and I can’t wait to explore all of its rabbit holes and meet all its talking pigs
Fable is shaping up to be an absolute belter of a role-playing game. From deep systems like reputation affecting everything you do and stylish combat to funny talking pigs, what I’ve seen so far suggests a splendid fantasy role-playing game (RPG) that will be absolutely worth the wait.Seeing a sliver of the game set in only one town, Playground Games showed what it’s like to carve my own path in the world, what impacts I can have on the locale and the people there, an

I test camera gear for a living — here are the 5 standout models for 2026 so far, from Sony, Lumix and more
After having precious little new camera gear to review in the opening months of the year, 2026 has well and truly kicked into gear for us tech journalists. The first quarter saw a smattering of niche compact cameras, including the Leica Q3 Monochrom, Instax Mini Evo Cinema and Ricoh GR IV. That's right: a black-and-white-only full-frame compact and a 3-in-1 instant camera that shoots video were the highlights.That peculiar first quarter was followed by some more conve
B2B social media marketing: How to build a strategy that converts
I recently came across a LinkedIn post from a B2B software company that opened with: "We're not just a platform. We're a family." It had 847 likes.
