Jacob Fox, hardware writer (Image credit: Future) This week: I spent hours emptying my office to make room to build a new desk. Then I spent hours building said desk. Finally, I spent hours looking at the ruin wrought upon my apartment as my various office gubbins sit tucked into every nook and cranny, all…
Good news: AMD has finally announced the specs of the much-rumoured RX 9070 GRE. The bad news? It appears to be a China-only card for now, leaving those of us in the rest of the world to stare in wonder. Or at the very least, mild interest. Not that this is a particularly big surprise,…
I’ve written so much hagiography for Morrowind on this website that I’m even starting to annoy myself. You’d think that means I’m not going to spend yet another article gushing about Morrowind. You’d be wrong. You should play Morrowind: it’s the best Elder Scrolls game and, quite frankly, one of the best games of all…
A couple of weeks ago, a mooted high-end variant of Intel’s Battlemage gaming graphics architecture was spotted in a shipping manifest. That was labelled for “R&D” purposes, but still had me hoping Intel was cooking something up that might compete with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 on performance but radically undercut it on price. This latest spot…
Don’t you just love how buying one of the best graphics cards is impossible right now? The latest cards are either out of stock or just priced up to a ludicrous degree, and the last-gen GPUs are in such tight supply their prices are far from a comfort, either. And just when we all thought…
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is currently doing a rather well-deserved victory lap after one million sales and stellar Steam numbers—which is heartening to see from an ambitious AA studio. I went in not expecting too much myself, and came out delighted (and a little dazed) after 60 hours of JRPG goodness, hankering for more. My…
“Ten years ago, Microsoft had a bold idea. Instead of signing in using clumsy and insecure passwords, what if you could simply smile?” Never mind that certain limitations of Microsoft’s cloud services (I’m looking at you, file sharing and collaboration) might make you weep rather than beam, because gurning logins are apparently Microsoft’s aim for…
In case you’re somehow running out of characters to learn and events to tick off, the Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 mid-season update adds even more to play around with. This update includes the rest of the content revealed in the announcement for the second season, but also a few additional surprises. The first half of…
The thing that makes FromSoft games great isn’t the tightly honed boss fights, the layered lore, or the quiet tragedy of their antagonists. It’s the ability to write ‘Don’t give up skeleton’ and ‘Try finger but hole’ across every inch of the game and subject players around the world to it. Every game should have…
Paizo continues to offer some absolutely bonkers value for its Pathfinder 2nd Edition—once more putting a whole heap of its books on offer for a good cause. This time around, the Asian Fantasy Bundle on Humble has raised thousands for Stop AAPI Hate, an organisation dedicated to fighting discrimination and hatred against Asian and Pacific…
