Arc Raiders has plenty of annoying materials to track down for various upgrades, like prickly pears, olives, and mushrooms for Scrappy, but I’d argue none are more annoying than Sentinel Firing Cores. You need to grab four of these pesky Arc items before you can upgrade your Gunsmith to level three, which is quite the…
The Digging Up Dirt mission in Arc Raiders sounds very straightforward at first; you’re told almost exactly where to look, unlike most quests. But it’s not that simple in practice. Santa Maria Houses is a danger zone of both Arc and raiders, plus the courtyard isn’t an obvious area to find. For one, it’s inside…
Insurance Fraud was arguably the best activity to come out of the Saints Row series—what that says about me, I don’t know—but I never considered what would happen if the NPCs were scamming you. Now you can find out, as Blurbs’ latest ‘modsperiment’ answers the call with floppy NPCs, paperwork, and courtroom intrigue. Blurbs is…

Cyberpunk 2077 has had a remarkable redemption arc, starting off as something of a bug-ridden disaster and transforming into the acclaimed multi-platform epic it is today – and to cap it all off, two of its stars have been immortalised as plastic ducks. Johnny Silverhand and Jackie Welles have…
Part of the appeal of gaming on PC is the sheer breadth of the platform. That hasn’t stopped some pesky console exclusives slipping through the net over the years, but these days most are coming across. Most of the best PlayStation games to play on PC come directly from Sony themselves. You only need to…
“We believe it is quietly living on somewhere in Japan”. Taito, one of the video game industry’s most significant companies, is seeking assistance to locate a crucial piece of its history. The item in question is the Crown 602 crane game machine, released 60 years ago in 1965. This mechanical device is ultimately what set…
Things aren’t looking so hot for Funcom’s sci-fi desert survival MMO Dune: Awakening. After the strongest launch in the Norwegian studio’s history, Funcom announced layoffs at the start of October, citing a shift from “development to long-term operation” as well as an upcoming console launch as the reasons for restructuring. But there may be another…
Only just recently I was talking to a few friends about the original David Braben’s 8-bit space combat trading simulator of Elite, and how we’ve seen a few fan based remakes appear as well as improvements and ports to different 8bit systems. But this latest news may interest you, if you have an Atari XL/XE…
