Xalavier Nelson Jr has a bit of a love hate relationship with screens right now. As development on his studio’s gutsy market game Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator was wrapping up at the end of last year, he tells me he remembers “just being really angry at the concept of the borders of the screen”.
The developers of survival horror game The Callisto Protocol have announced that it’ll be coming out in December, and revealed a new gameplay trailer to watch with the sound off through your fingers.

A new trailer for Final Fantasy XVI was released during today’s PlayStation State of Play, and it revealed a whole lot of war, turmoil, and primals. It also gave us extended looks at gameplay and a summer 2023 release window, which might come as a surprise considering producer Naoki Yoshida said in April that FF
A very merry Pride month to all, and what better way to celebrate than by putting some money in queer developers’ pockets and getting more than 500 games (and zines and other such goodies) in return? There’s a bit of everything in here, from a bird-run grocery store to a meditation on the decay and
Now that the calendar has shifted from May to June, Pride month has officially kicked off.

Intel’s 12th-gen motherboards are getting cheaper, which is handy if you’re planning a new build around one of Intel’s excellent 12100, 12400F or 12600F CPUs for gaming. One of the best deals we’ve spotted is for the Asus Prime B660M-A WiFi D4, which launched at £197 and is now down to £86 at CCL in

Here we have another AOC gaming monitor, except it’s not just by AOC, but by posh car makers Porsche? It’s the Porsche Design AOC Agon Pro PD32M, a premium 4K / 144Hz beast of a display, and is in fact the second hardware collaboration between these unlikely bedfellows. It’s also far more ambitious (and expensive)
If you’ve ever wondered if people in the world of Star Wars play sports that don’t involve racing repulsorcrafts, we now know that they play at least one: Blitzball. No, you didn’t misread that – it says Blitzball, you know, the underwater hockey-like sport played by Tidus, Wakka, and others in Final Fantasy X. That’s
Megacorp Embracer Group has announced that they are building a games archive, to preserve games culture and save it for the future. The project is in the early stages, but they’ve already got 50,000 games and consoles stored up waiting to be catalogued.

Video Gameography is on hiatus this week, but in the interim, we’d like to announce the next season officially.
