As simple and mundane as they are, there’s an art behind making a good menu, and sadly, the Battlefield 6 beta missed the mark in that regard. The menus felt designed for controllers over mouse and keyboard, though even that felt remarkably clunky. It’s a shame, considering the interface in previous Battlefield games has been…
If you were hoping that Battlefield 6 would ease up on its Secure Boot requirement ahead of launch, I’d stop holding that breath. Battlefield Studios has reaffirmed its requirement for the BIOS-level setting, which some fans complained was incompatible with their system or required jumping through too many hoops just to try the game. “I’ll…
The last time graphics technology really knocked my socks off was the advent of DLSS, Nvidia’s supersampling tech that lets you boost performance by rendering games at lower resolutions and upscaling them in real time. DLSS, and to a lesser extent AMD’s FSR, still feel like a magic trick, but it’s not without sacrifice: Despite…

An Ironclad purchase. The Evercade family of systems has seen some amazing collections over the past few years, but few have been quite as eagerly-awaited as the Neo Geo Arcade 1 cartridge. Much of this will be down to the fact that, once upon a time, SNK’s home console was considered to be one of…
All good things come to an end, and when that happens, we often look back and grumble aloud that change isn’t always welcome. If you’ve been a fan of AMD’s bundled CPU coolers over the past few years, then you may well fall into that camp, as the sun has now set on the Wraith…
Cronos: The New Dawn takes place in a post-apocalyptic version of the Kraków district of Nowa Huta during the 1980s. It seems like an oddly specific location, that is, until you actually ask the devs over at Bloober Team why they decided to set their upcoming survival horror game here. “It’s a district where I…
Although AI is absolutely the main focus of Nvidia right now, with Jen-Hsun now referring to it as “an AI infrastructure company”, the green team hasn’t forgotten about gaming. The launch of the RTX 50-series graphics cards this year has certainly been a boon for the company and accounts for a huge increase in gaming…
“It’s a Barbie/Ken level of nudity”. Cast your mind back to the ’90s, and Tomb Raider is at the height of its popularity. Everywhere you turn, Lara Croft’s oddly angular face is staring back at you – she’s on tour with U2, in magazines and (of course) topping the video game charts all over the…
Oh, Starfield. Since the release of—and lukewarm response to—the Shattered Space expansion almost a full year ago, Bethesda’s been very quiet about what it’s got planned for the game that was once anticipated enough to send Baldur’s Gate 3 scurrying for cover. In fairness, the studio’s had other irons in the fire, most notably the…
