Ever since mouse sensors in premium gaming mice all became generally on par, and especially now that some sensors in budget mice are pretty on par too, it’s been difficult to get truly excited about any new rodent-based technologies. But earlier this year, Logitech changed the game with the X2 Superstrike and its haptic-inductive analogue…
Marathon’s endgame is great. There’s the intense PvPvE puzzling of Cryo Archive, including a boss fight against the Compiler for unique gear, and then there’s Ranked, which gives you the chance to loot and shoot your way up the ladder. While the endgame systems are expertly designed, it’s been far from simple to access them…
I’ve recently performed some in-depth testing of VRAM usage in several modern games, to see if 8 GB budget graphics cards are still good enough for gaming in 2026. And it turns out they are—with some caveats. While the 8 GB variants of the RTX 5060 Ti and RX 9060 XT performed fairly well overall,…
Marvel Rivals‘ roster is growing rapidly, and with two heroes per season, one for each half, NetEase is quickly running through the list of fan-favourite superheroes. Luckily, Marvel has more than enough to go around, which means NetEase can hold off on making any original heroes for the time being. While NetEase does have the…
LG has announced a new LCD panel technology for laptops it claims is dramatically more efficient than existing panels. Known as “Oxide 1 Hz”, LG Display says it, “automatically switches the refresh rate down to 1 Hz when the screen is static and up to 120 Hz when needed.” The result is, “dramatically improved battery…
If the reams of art and lovelorn fanfiction are anything to go by, Baldur’s Gate 3’s romance system was one of its most successful parts. Keep, Larian, your remarkably complex imsim-y RPG gameplay; we just want to kiss vampires. But did you know that, in the fantasies of BG3’s writers, it would have been possible…
Completing the Contradiction quest in Crimson Desert is a little tricky. Unlike any previous investigations you may have done, such as Close Threat where you have to give evidence to Shakatu, this one is just a series of two-choice answers. There are no items involved at all, so which one you pick simply depends on…
The UK’s controversial Online Safety Act (OSA) passed over a year ago, and ostensibly, it “puts a range of new duties on social media companies and search services, making them more responsible for their users’ safety on their platforms.” But the ramifications of the bill are still being figured out, as are how to implement…
Tekken 8 didn’t have a very good year in 2025, and it’s with a heavy heart that I must report that it certainly doesn’t look like matters have improved any. Back in February, our resident fighting game expert Mollie Taylor wrote: “I’m genuinely excited to see what direction Tekken 8 is going to take with…
The Precipice of Truth is one of the most cumbersome parkour courses in Crimson Desert—it’s arguably just as frustrating as Root’s End. Thankfully though, it won’t take you too long to complete it, at least once you wrap your head around what you need to do. To reach the Precipice of Truth, just leap off…
