Detective Pikachu is fresh

In a world of below-par videogame films, Detective Pikachu has been a spark for change and our fluffy friend has had the best opening weekend for a videogame film in the US.

Steam Link added to iOS

Steam Link has been added to iOS and Apple TV, a year after Android users were given the chance to link up to their Steam Library and enable remote play on their devices.

This may or may not change in the future, but hey, one hurdle at a time!
