Stray, a rather neat little puzzle-platformer about a cat in a post-apocalyptic robo-world, was fairly well received back in 2022. We gave it a solid 82 in our review, which made publisher Annapura’s collapse late last year all the more concerning for studio BlueTwelve. At the very least, however, Stray’s former writer is going places….

The Alphyn lineup is PowerColor’s first foray into the gaming headset market, having only specced into graphics cards until now. With the Alphyn AH10, the company hops out of the proverbial frying pan, into the highly competitive fire of wireless gaming headsets. At the $100 mark, this headset will have to do something particularly swanky…

Where anything to do with AI is often promoted as being a new paradigm for humanity, it makes a pleasant change to get an AI tool that’s potentially very useful and, more importantly, is exactly what was promised. The fact that this has come from Microsoft is perhaps unexpected, but it really has given us…

To anyone who’s really into PCs and is happy to use beta software all the time, news that the latest version of Windows 11 Insider build has a wee bug in it will barely raise an eyebrow. I’m one such person, but my forehead went into all kinds of funny shapes after learning that the…

Aside from cryptocurrency mining, GPU shortages, and Covid-19, what else does the year 2021 elicit from your memory? The launch of the RTX 3080 Ti, of course! This high-end card launched with nearly as many CUDA cores, RT cores, and Tensor cores as the RTX 3090 for a little less money, but it had one…

Stellar Blade’s opening hours are so mired by atrocious level design that I can only assume people are willingly ploughing through for the sake of seeing protagonist Eve’s bum jiggle around in a skin-tight suit for a bit longer. Need to Know What is it? A salacious soulslite about saving humanity and reclaiming a war-torn…

I’m not too proud to admit that some of the Nightlords in Elden Ring Nightreign have pushed me to the brink. Working together with a couple of mates, we’ve managed to get everyone except for that damn goat and Snappy McJawface, the Gaping Jaw. The goal is to defeat everyone before coming for the head…

At this year’s Unreal Fest in Orlando, not only did Epic showcase forthcoming features for Unreal Engine 5 via CD Projekt Red’s Witcher 4 tech demo, but it also held numerous training sessions for developers on how best to use its software. Two of the most popular were those concerning shader compilation stutters and the…

It’s the most wonderful part of the news cycle: the time for wild and reckless speculation. Rob Wiethoff, the husky-yet-tender voice of Red Dead Redemption’s John Marston, has been out and about lately. He’s been playing some RDR (and getting shredded) on Twitch, roaming the hills and dales of Rockstar’s faux-merica and getting very excited…

Minecraft’s newest update, Chase the Skies, has now received a release date thanks to a new trailer uploaded to YouTube. And, to make things even more exciting, it’s coming on June 17. We knew this update would be rolling out some time this month but, given the trailer was only shared four days before its…
