PC Gaming
Admittedly, I’ve been feeling pretty dour about the whole handheld gaming PC thing lately, but I do still love having the option to take big games on the go. What I love a lot less is just how chunky modern handhelds have to be in order to contain and cool all of their internal hardware….
18 months after release, Capcom is slashing the price on Monster Hunter Wilds and discontinuing three of its bundles in favour of… three different bundles. Okay, cool. The change is coming in starting from August 3 or August 4, depending on where you are in the world. For the bundles, it seems like a little…
It’s an unfortunate rite of passage nowadays for popular indie games to have their concept taken from them by ripoffs that are devoid of any real creativity. The latest casualty? Meccha Chameleon, which has now been pilferred by copycats across Steam, Fortnite, and Roblox. The most egregious example, and the one that brought this to…
Hot off the news that repair shops have gained access to leaked internal Nvidia tools to gather RTX 50-series hotspot data, CPUID’s HWMonitor has added its own hotspot thermal tracking info in the latest update. Version 1.65 adds two hotspot sensor data rows within the graphics card column for RTX 50-series cards, right underneath the…
The lack of a Grand Theft Auto 6 PC port at launch is a sore spot for those of us faithful to the ol’ mouse and keyboard. Sure, it’s not new for Rockstar to prioritise console over PC (it’s got a marketing deal with Sony, after all), especially with new game launches, but I thought…
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is, naturally, a modern Ubisoft game—and as modern Ubisoft games are wont to do, it had some really annoying DLC wrapped up into it alongside an in-game cash shop. One point of contention was a day-one map pack DLC for five bucks, which reveals the location of every collectible in…
As much as AI has its drawbacks, it’d be wrong to say it doesn’t have its uses. Case in point, Microsoft’s previous commitment to leverage AI vulnerability detection in Windows security updates looks to be bearing fruit, as the latest Patch Tuesday release fixes an astonishing 622 CVEs across its products. Which is a new…
Glenn Schofield, the creator of Dead Space and The Callisto Protocol, has announced his retirement after 35 years in the industry. In a LinkedIn video post, Schofield thanked his family, Electronic Arts and Activision, and “the people who supported us in videogames”. “The past couple of decades have been some of the greatest times in…
I was hoping to find a vendor selling Nightstar Sand after starting a new save for the Palworld 1.0 release, but it seems the mid-game crafting ingredient is still only available through good ol’ fashioned gathering. You’ll have to pick it all up by hand to craft several items from tech tree recipes starting around…
In 2023, I reported that the development team of then-upcoming fighting game Diesel Legacy included Mike Zaimont, previously a developer on Skullgirls and Indivisible who had been accused of sexual misconduct at Lab Zero, the indie studio behind those games. Diesel Legacy released to little fanfare more than a year later, but the next fighting…
