Gears of War: E-Day is set to launch on October 6, though there’s early access available before then. In the lead up to launch, The Coalition has posted expanded system requirements for the upcoming bug blast. These include what the game asks of your rig for top performance on the top settings—it’s not easygoing, to…
I’ve spent the past couple of days tinkering with Remedy’s latest supernatural action-a-thon, Control Resonant. I’ve been testing it on my home PC, a fairly powerful (but not outrageous) rig, and I’ve got some good news: when it comes to balancing image quality with performance, I reckon there’s very little reason to stress your own…
In the first minutes of Control Resonant, Dylan Faden—prototypical sadboy, perpetually kicked puppy, and regretful mass murderer (he got better)—is thrust into a metaphysical war when Jesse, his psychokinetic former protagonist sister, wakes him from a seven year coma by stabbing a magical shape into his chest. She promptly disappears, leaving the Federal Bureau of…
If you signed up for a Steam Frame, it’s time to check your inbox for an email from Valve. The company has run its ‘one-time randomisation’ to decide who gets a unit from the first batch and who is left on the waitlist. Once you know where you land, head over to this community reporting…
I’ve been getting stuck into World of Warcraft: Forever‘s beta—though I’m a little less levelled up than I’d like to be. Initially, I just chalked this up to launch-day queue problems, but as it turns out, there’s a little more to it than that. See, I live in the UK, and Blizzard rarely does beta…
PAX Australia returns to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in October, and this year’s Expo Floor promises to be packed with playable games. For starters Sega will have four games to try including Total War: Warhammer 40,000 with three playable scenarios, as well as Alien: Isolation 2, Persona 4 Revival, and Yakuza’s noir prequel…
Judging by the November release schedule, few publishers will dare release within spitting distance of GTA 6. Which is understandable, but it’s caused a massive bottleneck in October: Ace Combat 8, Gears of War: E-Day, Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Modern Warfare 4 will all release next month. And that’s not including all the other…
Much to my embarrassment, while I was mid-complaint about my new wall of Valheim storage chests, a fellow Viking hit me with, “You know you can color code those signs, right?” Duh, of course I know that. Well, I swear I did, but totally forgot about the handy feature that doesn’t require a single mod….
Over the last three years, since the Wilds of Eldraine set, Magic: The Gathering’s core expansions have been building to a climactic storyline. It’s very comic book, a multiverse-threatening crossover that’s been set off by the planeswalker Jace Beleren trying to create a new multiverse, one that’s free of all the threats Magic’s setting has…
Matthew Rhys is having quite a moment. The actor cleaned up at the Emmys on Monday, making history by becoming the first man to win two Emmys for a leading role on the same night (for comedy series Widow’s Bay and limited series The Beast in Me). And in doing that, he actually set another…
