How Chuhai Labs Brought Classic On-Rails Shooters to Modern Players

When Chuhai Labs set out to make Wild Blue Skies, the team knew exactly what they were taking on. The on-rails shooter genre lives in people's memories in a very specific way—it's not just a game type; it's a Saturday morning, a borrowed controller, a high score that means something. The studio wanted to make the game that reminded players why they loved them in the first place. For studio director Giles Goddard, that connection to the genre runs deep. His passion for on-rails shooters is woven into the DNA of Chuhai Labs. Many team members grew up playing these games. Being fans first...

Big Walk: A Breath of Fresh Air Amid the “FriendSlop”

Big Walk: A Breath of Fresh Air Amid the “FriendSlop”

Amid the wave of recent cooperative games, many of which follow a formula built around chaos, jokes, and unpredictable situations between friends, Big Walk emerges as an attempt to do something different. Developed by House House, the studio behind Untitled Goose Game, it offers a relatively short cooperative experience built around exploration, communication, and, above all, teamwork. Instead of making cooperation simply a way to make the game more entertaining, Big Walk makes it the core of the experience. One of the first things that stands out is its presentation. For a short...

Rockstar's Marketing Is Bad

Rockstar’s Marketing Is Bad

Grand Theft Auto VI has been officially delayed once, no dedicated gameplay footage has been shown to the public, and only two trailers have been released, totaling just over four minutes of official content. To anyone with even a basic understanding of marketing, this strategy seems like a mistake. After all, how do you keep the most anticipated game in the industry relevant while showing so little over the course of several years? In Rockstar Games' case, however, the rules seem to be different. Founded in 1998, Rockstar has built a reputation that is virtually unmatched in the gaming...

When Was the Last Time You Thought?

When Was the Last Time You Thought?

Generative artificial intelligence became available to the general public in November 2022 and quickly evolved beyond being merely a technological curiosity. What began as entertainment — creating poems, answering unusual questions, or generating images in seconds — has become one of the greatest digital revolutions of recent decades. In just a few years, the relationship between users and artificial intelligence has changed dramatically. What was once used occasionally has become a productivity tool present in workplaces, classrooms, and even the simplest daily activities....

ASUS Motherboards Optimize Mismatched RAM During 2026 Shortage

The RAM shortage of 2026 has fundamentally altered the landscape for PC enthusiasts, forcing builders to abandon the luxury of choosing memory based on aesthetics, overclocking potential, or adherence to qualified vendor lists. Availability has contracted sharply while prices have climbed, pushing many toward compromises that would have seemed unthinkable just months earlier. Builder Adaptations During the Crisis PC builders have split into distinct camps as they navigate the scarcity. Those fortunate enough to have completed builds before the shortage intensified are redirecting budgets...

Western Digital Targets 100TB HDDs by 2029 with HAMR Tech

Western Digital Targets 100TB HDDs by 2029 with HAMR Tech

Enterprise hard drive storage technology stands at a critical juncture as traditional recording methods reach their physical limits and data demands surge. Western Digital has confirmed that conventional Perpendicular Magnetic Recording without energy assistance has peaked at approximately 28TB per drive, constrained by fundamental physics rather than market factors. The company now advances two parallel pathways to overcome this barrier: energy-assisted PMR, which currently achieves 32TB when combined with UltraSMR technology, and Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording, which targets 100TB...
