I have bad news—if you play MMOs, you’re guilty of a crime. As are each and every one of us. We are the thousand knives plunged into the back of the “oldschool MMO”. But who among us (don’t say ‘sus’, it’s not the time) is truly at fault? You may now imagine me in a…
The messaging coming out of Microsoft is becoming unmistakable. The next version of Windows is going to be all about chat. Last week, Microsoft posted a video that claimed, “the world of mousing around and keyboarding around and typing will feel as alien as it does to Gen Z to use DOS.” Now there’s a…
One of the hubbubs surrounding WoW’s upcoming Legion Remix is the fact that Mage Tower—an incredibly popular piece of content that Blizzard has never brought back (in full, anyway, there was a stint without the same rewards) for fools like me who missed it—likely won’t be making a return. Bare minimum, it’s not been mentioned…
Metal Gear Solid 5 came out (oh my god) 10 years ago, but it can still spark discourse like a game half its age. Did Konami mistreat Hideo Kojima? Did Kojima push his luck too far? Will we ever get Episode 51 (no)? Do we regret our words and deeds more than the regular amount?…
Look, I’ll hold my hands up—as a writer often on the move, I’ve holed myself up in coffee shops with my laptop to write articles before, eeking out my drink for far longer than necessary to make the most of a wall socket. I’ve never been brave enough to bring in a more substantial piece…

Battlefield 6 has, seemingly, bucked this trend, as I was getting silky smooth FPS…
Portable PC gaming has never been bigger, with things like the Steam Deck, gaming laptops, and even tablets being developed with gamers in mind. OneXPlayer is a brand that’s gone all in on the handheld PC market, giving us Steam Deck competitors that range from unimpressive fat tablets like the OneXPlayer X1 handheld to the…
Portable handheld gaming PCs are one of my favourite recent offshoots of PC gaming. It’s been a delight to watch all these Switch-styled devices crop up with their cute plastic shells hiding often beastly gamer interiors. The downside is while we are seeing more of these Steam Deck competitors around, we’re also seeing relatively limited…
Folks in the UK are doing it tough right now with droughts sweeping the country. The situation has gotten so bad the government has declared it a “nationally significant incident.” Alongside a release with advice on how residents can help save water. Some of these suggestions are great ideas but included amongst them is advice…
Windows on Arm is a project that I can’t help but get excited about, however long and torturous the road towards gaming on the OS fork might be. So I’ll happily take the top-up to my excitement meter from the news that Arm-based systems will be able to download Xbox PC app games locally rather…
