I love money so much. I’d marry a banknote if it was socially acceptable, and then I’d cheat on it with coins. But I also love PC games, and oh no! They’re more expensive than ever. And don’t even get me started on console exclusives, that demand you pony up for the hardware too. That’s…
There are some questions in life that are rightly acknowledged as fundamental to our existance as human beings. Who am I? Why are we here? What’s that smell? What are they eating, that looks tasty? And it’s the same with PC gaming, and one of the most important question any PC gamer has to deal…

The 66-year-old designer, who has…
Capcom’s new sci-fi hit, Pragmata, was released to glowing reviews late last week, and much praise has been heaped on its relatively excellent performance. That’s with ray tracing enabled instead of the game’s path tracing option, of course. Path tracing is known to be a resource hog, particularly in a game world covered in shadows…

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie released to fairly middling reviews, with many critics in agreement that it felt overblown with references that ultimately struggled to make up for the lacklustre story. In a new interview with NDW (thanks, Nintendo Patents Watch), Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto expressed his surprise at the critical…
Fallout: New Vegas is one of those games that only seemed to rise in peoples’ esteem as time’s gone on—especially since it seems like a milestone marker for the last remnants of the series’ more oldschool CRPG spirit before Fallout 4 saddled gamers with a voiced protagonist.

With The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, developer Owlcat is taking its first leap out of the isometric RPG genre it’s claimed a foothold in with games like Pathfinder: Kingmaker and into something more inspired by the glory days of Mass Effect.
