Streaming is more popular than it’s ever been, and that means manufacturers are clamouring to release streaming-suitable microphones into a market that’s starting to feel rather crowded. From cheap and cheerful desktop condenser mics to close-up dynamic wonders, if you’d like to capture your gaming-induced yelps and squeals for the world to hear (or perhaps…
One lovely side-effect of nearly every game coming to PC these days is that Nintendo Direct showcases tend to be full of great new announcements for us. Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is one that falls especially near and dear to my heart. Released way back in 2006 on the PlayStation 2,…
PC Gamer’s Fraser Brown wrote in his September 2024 preview of Greedfall 2 that the decision to completely overhaul the combat system of the original game and release it in a rough, early access state, was a “risky gamble” for developer Spiders. Prophetic words, as it turns out. While Greedfall is quite well regarded, especially…
The worst thing about loving beat ’em ups is that most of them are stranded on arcade boards or long-defunct consoles. Marvel is no exception to this issue, with games like Captain America and the Avengers, Konami’s X-Men, and Maximum Carnage all unavailable on modern systems. But if, like me, you need a fix of…
There are a surprising number of Atomfall endings for what is a relatively small game, but as you explore the Windscale quarantine zone, you’ll find plenty of characters who are willing to help you escape. That is, if you complete a series of tasks for them, or in some cases, even sell your soul. After…
Final Fantasy 14’s second major patch of expansion Dawntrail landed this week, and while I’ll have to wait a little longer for my most-anticipated addition—the field operation Occult Crescent isn’t arriving until late May—I do have the thing I was the second most-excited for: The next tier of the Arcadion raids. The first tier absolutely…
The Genshin Impact community is a little, uh, on fire at the moment. That’s due to SAG-AFTRA, an American union of actors across entertainment media (including, naturally, videogames), and its ongoing strike. Said strike has been proceeding apace for over eight months now, with voice actors still embroiled in fights over deals for protection against…
Steam’s spring sale might be over, but with so many stores, you’re never short on opportunities to demolish both your bank balance and free time. Stepping up to bat yesterday was the Epic Games Store, beginning their latest two-week-long round of discounts. Sadly they’re no longer doing ridiculously discounted loss-leader ‘coupons’, but there’s still plenty…
Well there we go—just over two months on from Games Workshop’s very unsubtle tease, Grand Cathay has officially been revealed as a full army of miniatures for tabletop Warhammer. This faction inspired by ancient China has had a long and strange journey to the tabletop. Back when the videogame Total War: Warhammer 3 first confirmed…
In a video announcing a collaboration between 1X’s AI team and the Nvidia Gear Lab, the much-touted, still-in-development Neo Gamma humanoid robot gave Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang a studded leather jacket. Depicting the hardware company’s logo on the back in metal studs, the jacket was made by California-based clothing brand ERL—but this collaboration wants to…
