Scratch that. If you picked up a Switch 2 on launch day, then you’ve been caring for your console for almost a whole year now. Compared to those launch-day Switch 1s that some of us still have kicking around, I know that a measly 364 days is small potatoes, but it’s still a mighty long…
“Coming Summer 1996… Exclusively for the Eclipse System 32!”. As much as we all like to pretend to be insusceptible to clever marketing tricks and gimmicks, there are always those rare exceptions where we have to throw our hands up and praise a developer or publisher for coming up with effective ways of standing out…
Time was, you used to have to go places to see videogame events. I’ve been through it myself—a sweltering period in Los Angeles where I spent approximately $6,000 on Ubers and lived off Famous Amos cookies from the hotel vending machine. But it’s the 21st century, and you don’t have to deal with all that….
This is it, unambiguously my Computex highlight and also a genuine surprise. I give you the Alienware AW3926QW in all its 39-inch OLED, 5K2K, RGB-stripe, remarkably priced glory. This isn’t actually the first 39-inch 5K2K OLED on the market. Actually, I’ve already reviewed one, the LG Ultragear 45GX950A, and it actually disappointed a little. That…
The companies that attend Computex love to shove screens on things. Last year, we had tonnes of panels slapped on the side of coolers, cases, and more. This year is no different, but this time, it’s a fairly sizable screen. Gigabyte is slapping almost an entire gaming monitor onto one of its cases. The Gigabyte…
The AI giveth. And it taketh away. Or something like that. I bring you news of conflicting reports around computer sales. On the one hand, new data predicts PC sales will tank pretty badly over the next few years. On the other, Apple is reportedly doubling MacBook Neo production. So, what gives? The PC sales…
Here’s a short tech support horror story for you: you’re chatting with someone—maybe a not very tech-savvy relative—and they tell you, ‘It’s the darndest thing. I bought a whole new computer, and I just can’t seem to log in.’ Because you hate to see them struggle, you agree to take a look. But gazing upon…
C’mon Cranky, take it to the fridge. This review was originally published in April 2015 alongside the Wii U eShop’s Virtual Console release. We’re updating and republishing it to mark the arrival of the game in the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack N64 library. At the mere mention of Nintendo’s 64-bit console, many of…
WIP demo shows how Felipe 64 speeds up N64 development. A new tool has emerged that could help usher in a flood of homebrew releases for the Nintendo 64. According to N64GameBuilder, Felipe 64 “allows us to easily export data, create hitboxes, and configure state machines using a visual interface.” The developer has posted a…
Typically-speaking, we wouldn’t be inclined to write about God of War Laufey—not because I don’t want to play the next God of War game (I rather liked the 2018 reboot) but because Sony has doubled-down on console exclusives for the foreseeable, and we are PC Gamer. However, it’s my job to report on gaming discourse….
