Gears of War: E-Day is set to launch on October 6, though there’s early access available before then. In the lead up to launch, The Coalition has posted expanded system requirements for the upcoming bug blast.

I’ve spent the past couple of days tinkering with Remedy’s latest supernatural action-a-thon, Control Resonant. I’ve been testing it on my home PC, a fairly powerful (but not outrageous) rig, and I’ve got some good news: when it comes to balancing image quality with performance, I reckon there’s very little reason to stress your own…
Many of today’s most dedicated gamers got their start in arcades. The late 70s and early 80s filled big rooms with giant cabinets that challenged players with tough games that, at times, bordered on unfair.

Developed by OmiyaSoft…
If you signed up for a Steam Frame, it’s time to check your inbox for an email from Valve. The company has run its ‘one-time randomisation’ to decide who gets a unit from the first batch and who is left on the waitlist. Once you know where you land, head over to this community reporting…
Great Odin’s Raven. I spent my first few hours in Valheim running around in my underwear. Only a casual acquaintance of the survival-crafting genre, I was nevertheless sucked in by the open-world freedom and rich Nordic vibe the game had to offer.
