I confess, dear reader, I was a little confused by the concept of Life Is Strange: Double Exposure from the get-go. As PC Gamer’s own Mollie Taylor said during a preview, “remind me to never become besties with Max Caulfield, lest I end up dead in a ditch somewhere.” Retreading the same ‘best friend dead’…
Sometimes I rue my position as the PC Gamer hardware team honorary weirdo. Because while I’m naturally drawn to the unusual, the interesting, and the downright bizarre, it means I sometimes have to write about bits of tech that gross me out—and this VR-ready electronic tongue is doing just that. A team of researchers at…
Thanks to RetroRic and Earok’s Scorpion Engine. Toaplan is famous for its shmups, but the Japanese company also produced games in other genres, with 1987’s Wardner being one of the most well-known. Now, indie developer RetroRic is leveraging Earok’s Scorpion Engine to bring this side-scrolling cult classic to “stock” AGA and OCS Commodore Amiga computers….
REPO is the newest co-op horror game to take on Lethal Company. Both games pit a crew of players against dangerous monsters in confusing maps as they try to collect as much loot as possible, but despite this competition, Lethal Company’s creator, Zeekerss, only has helpful advice for the devs over at Semiwork. “REPO is…
This thing is a monster. Obviously in the same way the RTX 5090 Founders Edition is a monster in terms of raw performance; we are still talking about the most powerful consumer GPU available to humankind after all. But more than that, the MSI RTX 5090 Suprim is probably the biggest graphics card I’ve ever…
Discord has a permanent spot in most of our taskbars, but even those who haven’t accepted the ubiquitous chat app into their lives may soon be using its services directly in the games they play (or possibly already are). Today, the company is launching the Discord Social SDK. It’s a free way for game developers…
A long time ago (September 2021) in a galaxy far, far away (a PlayStation Showcase) the mad lads at Aspyr announced they were remaking Knights of the Old Republic, BioWare’s brilliant Star Wars RPG from 2003. Which probably wasn’t a great idea, because the project has spent the entire four years since then falling down…
Spare time. We challenge any one of you to admit that at some point in the mid-2000s, you didn’t try to get a perfect game in Wii Sports bowling. Of course you did! The console’s pack-in title had all of us swinging, punching and putting like there was no tomorrow, and the bowling mode might…
Double the fun? The world of NES collecting is full of unique hardware and software, and it’s not unusual to see odd-looking, off-brand cartridges and consoles, most of which were unlicensed clones designed to cash-in on the popularity of Nintendo’s 8-bit system. When famed retro YouTuber John Riggs showed off a two-sided NES cart a…
If you have an Amstrad or Amiga near by, chances are you would’ve come across the excellent homebrew Dungeon Crawler ‘ The Shadows of Sergoth ‘; a game which blew many of us away with fast coded graphics, deadly monsters and cool loot to find throughout. Although the big boxed edition is no longer for…
