Microsoft Edge: many a PC Gamer knows it as a stepping stone between them and their actual browser of choice—no matter how much the software pleads with you to reconsider. But rather than simply dismissing this as looking a bit desperate, the Browser Choice Alliance argues this is just one instance of ‘deceptive tactics‘ by…

Overwatch‘s story is a bit all over the place; there’s no denying it. Nearly a decade on from the launch of the first game, we’re still more or less where we began—Winston’s recalling old agents—only, finally, there’s an actual villain: Vendetta’s Talon.

If you didn’t know that, then you likely also don’t know that, in those two cursed years, Motorola showed off a password pill you swallow as a form of password authentication. Yeah, 2013 was weird.

Where are the cats? I’m saying this every time I boot up Total War: Warhammer 3, the map-painting strategy tour de force where you can play as every major Warhammer Fantasy faction under the sun. There’s far too many ratlike Skaven in the game, though, and I’ve long yearned to see them get trounced by…

Harvey Randall, Staff Writer (Image credit: Future) Last week I was: Begging people not to have a baby for a free copy of GTA 6 (it is financially inadvisable). Also, playing a lot of Deadlock. I have a love-hate relationship with MOBAs, but Deadlock—after its new Old Gods, New Blood update—has dragged me back to…
