I’ve been typing for most of my life—flogging flax so I could afford a dragon longsword in RuneScape, roleplaying in World of Warcraft, and at present, writing multiple articles a day for the good site PC Gamer. I average about 130 words per minute, which isn’t competitive or anything, but I’m pretty nippy compared to…
Should a fellow graphics card fall in the line of duty, it’s down to its fellow soldiers to ensure it makes it back home. Okay, not really. But there’s something genuinely touching about the story of this RTX 5070 Ti, which arrived in a Brazilian workshop with a hole in its PCB, rendering it unusable….
It’s approximately *checks watch* one day until Windows 10 ostensibly gets the chop, so it’s a good job the Media Creation Tool is available for people to use to install Windows 11 and- oh, it’s not available? Welp, I guess that’s that, then. Kidding: If you’ve left it to the final minute to get upgraded,…
Like so many others, I was real dismayed when Aspyr lifted the veil on its upcoming official Deus Ex Remaster and revealed something alarmingly shiny and remarkably bulbous*. This dismay lasted about 10 seconds, at which point I remembered we PC people have access to Deus Ex: Revision (DX:R)—a fanmade and fan-maintained DX1 modernisation you…
Serious Sam 2 just got a meaty patch from the devs at Croteam featuring UI updates, graphical improvements, changes to the multiplayer, and bugfixes. George W Bush is president, and the subprime mortgage market can only go up, up, up, baby! Wait, no, sorry. It is in fact 2025, but all those things I said…
Psychological horror can be one of the hardest genres to get right. Developers either stumble and make a game that just seems too gimmicky to scare anyone, or they manage to hit the sweet spot and create something that’s more than just terrifying—a horror game that’ll stick with you. And from what I’ve seen so…
If you’re in the market for a low-profile keyboard, you might have a few options in mind—the Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile, perhaps, or the NuPhy Air60 HE. But if you move a little off the beaten path, you’ll find an absolutely superb board that ticks a bunch of boxes for gamers and typists…
US president Donald Trump announced a new 100% tariff on Chinese goods late last week, “over and above any tariff they are currently paying”, alongside new export controls on “any and all critical software”. The new restrictions come in the wake of rare earth export controls announced by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce earlier in…
With each iteration, Razer seems to take its Wolverine gaming controller to new heights. The V2 Pro was a step up over the original, while the V3 Pro repeated the trick, ending up as one of the best PC controllers money can buy. Now Razer has found a way to improve on near-perfection with the…
Ninja Gaiden 4 will be arriving this month—and while I’m not as experienced with the series as, say, fellow PCG writer Wes Fenlon, I am downright curious to give it a proper try. The earlier Gaiden games were a smidge before my time, but the older I get, the thirstier I am for a challenge—and…
