According to a detailed post on X, Intel’s next-gen Nova Lake desktop CPU will be getting over double the cores of its existing Arrow Lake chips. The top Core Ultra 9 model allegedly packs a staggering 52 cores. But it’s arguably the mid-range Ultra 5 that’s most interesting given it boasts more cores in every…
I am very much an over-ear headphones girlie—living in a historic tourist town will do that to you. But besides that, my weird little cartilage has just never found in-ear buds agreeable. If they’re not making my ears ache, earbuds are straight up popping out and threatening to get lost somewhere in the unknowable corners…
In a move I’m gonna say none of us predicted, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is getting shown at a film festival. That’s not a film version of the game’s story—it’s the game itself, cut down into some sort of “cinematic cut” that Warhorse is hailing as “a proud moment for games as a serious storytelling…
Dear reader, it might not surprise you to hear this, given my professional, actual job is to write for a site about PC Gaming—but I’m not really into sports. This isn’t universal among our staff, mind. I was duly ribbed for the way I described the following feeling in our morning meet. However, the recent…
Elden Ring Nightreign doesn’t just have brutal bosses with the aim of a sniper and the fury of Zeus, it also has, at times, a map that tries to kill you. And I’m not just talking about the storm. Occasionally there’ll be Shifting Earth events. These start popping up after you defeat the first Nightlord…
After all the is-it-isn’t-it $80 dollars drama (turns out it’s $70 base price, which still isn’t exactly cheap), the next Borderlands 4-related financial crisis has hoved into view. Just how much cash will you need invested in your rig to play the thing in all its cell-shaded glory? Well, now we know thanks to the…
Learning how to neutralize corrupted items in FBC: Firebreak is straightforward in principle. After all, the game tells you exactly what you’ll need to do it: a Black Rock Neutralizer. This info only appears very briefly as a tutorial popup, though, so you wouldn’t be blamed for missing it and then getting confused as to…
Picking a Crisis Kit when you first load into FBC: Firebreak isn’t as important as you might initially think. Since you can swap between kits whenever you want in the loadout menu, you won’t be stuck with the first one you choose—in fact I’m not even sure why the game offers you this choice when…
Puzzling out the best weapons in FBC: Firebreak might take you a little time when you first drop into the Federal Bureau of Control. Not too long, mind you, considering the game only has six weapons on launch and some are quite clearly a lot stronger than others. To quickly aid you in gunning down…
FBC: Firebreak is one of the messiest games I’ve ever played, but this is in large part because it is a game about mess. Creating it, cleaning it up, getting caked up to your neck in it—your character is constantly covered in water or sticky notes or quivering pink goo that could’ve sluiced straight out…
