Excited about Death Stranding 2: On the Beach? So am I, and so I offer one piece of advice to you: don’t bother watching last night’s premiere event, which was held in LA’s Orpheum Theatre, hosted by Kojima’s best bud Geoff Keighley, and featured various Death Stranding 2 actors and creatives coming on-stage to talk…
In some ways, 007 First Light looks like an easy step sideways for IO Interactive. Agent 47 is basically Bond anyway, minus the hair, turbocharged sex drive, and occasional witty (or groan-worthy) quips, right? So just add those things and you’re halfway finished. Except as the studio explained in an exclusive interview with PC Gamer,…
If you paid attention during the PC Gaming Show 2025, you’ll have spotted the illustrious Frankie Ward and myself building a gaming PC during the stream. That wasn’t merely a prop, it’s the real deal, and it could be yours. Yeah, yours. This is no machine for mere casuals. We’ve teamed up with AMD, GIGABYTE…
How do you like building your cities? There’s real appeal in a godlike, top-down view as you become a sort of all-seeing invisible mayor in a city builder. But there’s definitely something engaging about having your boots on the muddy ground as you carve a town out of the wilderness and fill it with citizens…
At the 2025 Xbox Games Showcase, Spiritfarer developer Thunder Lotus announced At Fate’s End, “an action-adventure game where you fight the ones you love and your skill tree is your family tree.” The reveal trailer is a roughly two-minute fever dream of young women pulling swords made of light out of their throats, dudes ripping…
The motherboard is the heart of your PC, the nexus into which everything else connects. Using a good quality motherboard is important for any gaming PC build, as choosing second best can lead to lower framerates and less expansion capability. For AMD’s AM5 processors, such as the latest 9000-series chips including the mighty Ryzen 7…
My first surprise of Summer Game Fest came with the very first game I played. Dying Light: The Beast looked excellent in my hour-long demo, which I did not expect coming off Techland’s previous disappointing sequel, Dying Light 2: Stay Human. The Beast is leaving everything distinctly Dying Light 2 behind—its crowded city, characters, and…
Arrakis might be a lawless desert where you can stake a claim wherever you please, but you’ll still need to pay taxes in Dune: Awakening. No, it’s not fair, as it’s not like there’s even any public services on Arrakis, just bandits, shipwrecks, political tension, and lots of sand. But pay you must, or the…
There were an awful lot of games revealed across a plethora of Summer Game Fest showcases over the past weekend-plus, some big, some small, and none more immediately intriguing, for me at least, than one revealed at the Women Led Games Showcase on June 8. It’s called Drywall Eating Simulator, and as far as I…
Last week, I got the chance to speak to Chris Bergey, Senior VP and General Manager for the Client side of Arm Holdings, and after picking his brain about Windows on Arm for PC gaming, I’m carefully optimistic about the future. Emphasis on carefully, though, because the proof will ultimately be in the pudding (or…
