Back in November of last year, rumours were abounding that Nvidia had cancelled the expected Super refresh of its RTX 50-series of graphics cards, though at the time, I thought the whole thing was nonsense. However, six months on, and there’s still no sign of them thanks to the RAMpocalypse, but it might not be…
Halo Combat Evolved, the start of the legendary FPS franchise, may have already been remastered (albeit in 2011), but now it’s time for a full-blown remake. Enter, Halo: Campaign Evolved. It’s the original story you know and love but with fancy graphics, “refined controls”, and three bonus prologue missions—it’s not just a retread. Xbox hasn’t…
This year’s Computex may have seemed a bit stilted in the wake of the ongoing memory crisis, but one thing that didn’t fail to deliver was unique case designs. And, surprisingly, I quite like one with a built-in essential oils diffuser. Our Jacob managed to get a look at the Montech Ten Wood on the…
As spotted by user Worrissey on the Steam subreddit, Gray Newell, the oldest son of Valve head honcho Gabe Newell, is set to compete at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race on June 13. Newell has been part of the Heart of Racing, a team co-founded by racer Ian James, businessman Yahn…
It’s rare that I’ll open up a preview about a game by saying “hear me out”, but in the case of Stars Reach, it’s appropriate. I will readily admit, upon a cursory glance of Stars Reach’s Steam page, that my inner cynic (who I try not to pay too much attention to) had written it…
We might end up having to wait until 2028 for new AMD graphics cards. But the company has said its next-gen Zen 6 CPUs are coming later this year. Even better, the latest rumours claim the chips will clock up beyond 6.5 GHz, setting a record for factory-spec PC processors. The source here is the…
Arc Raiders has had a big problem with various duplication exploits since its release. In a genre all about looting—finding it and fighting to keep it—that’s a pretty nasty issue to have. While these bugs have generally been patched pretty quickly, and often related to specific items (like endless rubber duckies), the spoils of free-flowing…
You ever play a game that just activates your brain in all the right ways? I remember it happening a few times in my life—the first time I played Morrowind on a friend’s PC and experienced a lifelong RPG addiction occurring in real-time. Just hearing that menu theme makes me want to run outside and…
For the launch of its Core Ultra 200S Plus processors, Intel released a software package called Binary Optimization Tool (IBOT for short), which promised to give certain games a substantial boost in performance. The chip giant also promised that it would be rolling out updates when possible, and true to its word, the first one…
Despite a rough couple of years for the company, Intel could be set to make a turnaround with both its handheld chips performing well, and its Foundry business taking on substantial orders, at least if recent reports prove to be true. It seems like the AI boom has really squeezed semiconductor leader TSMC’s supplies dry,…
