It's a big departure from the IBM PowerPC architecture of its last three machines, raising questions over how NX's compatibility with older games will be handled going forward.

Digital Foundry | PS Vita hacked: full system access enabled for homebrew
Browser-based exploit runs on the latest 3.60 firmware.
Ever since its 2011 launch, PlayStation Vita's security has remained relatively intact. We've seen a bunch of PSP emulator exploits, and around a year ago, a native Vita exploit was released for an older firmware that required the unit tethered to a PC. Now, hacking collective Team Molecule has released a new exploit that fully unlocks the full power of the Vita hardware for homebrew developers.

Opinion | Through the looking glass: Keith Stuart on the irresistible rise of augmented reality
Gurdurrs of perception.
Within two decades, possibly sooner, our notion of what constitutes reality is going to completely collapse in on itself like a supermarket own-brand tent at a rainy music festival. Hello, welcome to another article about Pokémon Go.

Review | Quadrilateral Cowboy review
A fistful of $variable$.
In Quadrilateral Cowboy, a surreal indie game of hacking and heists, you pull out your 'deck' - a briefcase-sized, late-80s/early-90s portable computer with a fold-out screen and a DOS prompt - and type on it to hack systems and command gizmos. Only, you're not really doing this. You're actually gazing into the virtual reality goggles of another chunky bit of retro computing in your hackers' lair, surrounded by flickering CRTs, humming mainframes and whirring tape decks, planning some future heist in the 'real' world. Only, you're not really doing that either. You're typing on your own keyboard in your own room, playing Quadrilateral Cowboy. (I recommend using a mechanical keyboard for the full, clattering, War Games wish-fulfilment.) Wheels within wheels!

Feature | Pokémon Go and Dark Souls are more alike than you think
Prepare to Dialga.
If the headline reads like a lame joke, that's because it began life as one. "Imagine if they were hunting for Black Knights," I remarked to a friend, watching tourists and students coast merrily up and down the South Bank in search of Squirtles and Goldeens. "Imagine if Dark Souls were an alternate reality game."

F1 2016 looks to have learnt some lessons from Dirt Rally
Codemasters goes deep with its latest racer.
Well, this looks more like it. F1 2015 was a fine game, but it suffered from a little too much streamlining - not to trim back excess weight to gain performance in the spirit of the sport, but just to get the thing out for Codemasters' belated debut on Xbox One and PS4. F1 2016 is in some ways the game that 2015 should have been, restoring the career mode and features like the safety car as well as some of the other trimmings that had come to be expected of the series. But saying that is almost a disservice to what's going on here. F1 2016 looks like it could be much more than that.
