The big CPU and GPU announcements at CES like Nvidia’s new RTX Super GPUs and AMD’s new 7600 XT don’t tend to come as a huge surprise, what with the endless rumours and leaks. However, screen tech at the show does tend to throw up some genuine news and CES 2024 is no exception. Kicking…
We knew it was coming, but it’s still exciting to see Alienware announce its new 32-inch 4K OLED gaming panel, the Alienware 32 AW3225QF. Alienware has also pulled the wraps off a new 27-inch 1440p OLED monitor running at fully 360Hz. But first, that new 32-inch beauty. As with previous Alienware OLED gaming monitors, it…
Razer has announced its new lineup of Blade gaming laptops for the coming year, sporting sparkling new screens, new Intel and AMD processors… and one notable absentee.

Musk was too…
I hated the look of the first series of Nvidia Super cards. When it knocked out some updated Turing GPUs and created the RTX 20-series Supers, the last thing I wanted to see when checking out my new graphics card was my own face staring back at me. Mirrored surfaces are the enemy of one…
A couple months after bringing diminutive psycho-stabber Chucky to the multiplayer survival horror game Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive is teasing something new—and a lot of fans are convinced that an Alan Wake crossover is on the way. In terms of substance, the tease is awfully thin: It’s a flashlight. Alan Wake is a pretty…
Some of the greatest stories about games are simply about how developers made the thing work. Ask any developer for their favourite workarounds and you’ll get a full evening’s worth of entertainment about how a giant tram is actually an NPC with a hat on, or how rabbits are actually what makes Azeroth work, and…
Baldur’s Gate 3 is the big, world-changing isometric party-based RPG that everyone’s still talking about, but I’ve always felt that Pillars of Eternity is the game that really first started turning that engine over.
