Well, we all knew Q1 2025 was going to be spicy. I’m not sure we knew that would mean quite the number of delays and out-of-stock signs that we’ve seen so far, but we knew there was going to be a slew of new GPU shenanigans to watch out for. AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT…
Overwatch 2 has announced loads of new additions and changes that’ll be coming to the game over the next few months and seasons. There’s a new Stadium mode that sees teams go best of seven in a third-person brawl, over 160 new hero perks, and loot boxes are making a comeback. But let’s not forget…
Pour one out for the original MSI Claw. You can still find it for sale, but with a Meteor Lake Intel chip inside and a chassis design that felt a lot more like a prototype than you’d expect from a modern gaming handheld, it seemed doomed to obscurity from the start. The MSI Claw 8…
After 28 years, pioneering MMO Tibia will finally have a fifth playable character class. Joining the previous vocations of Knight, Sorcerer, Druid, and Paladin is the Monk, who will become the second melee character type in all of Tibia. It’s a pretty wild changeup for a game that launched in 1997 and has had the…
Assassin’s Creed Shadows should have been launching around about *checks watch* now, but alas, it was delayed and has a new launch date of March 20. If you’re like me and have an older GPU, you might not have cared much either way as you might have assumed decent performance the title would be out…

Whether those words give you shudders of the good or bad kind, get used to them because GPUs and games are leaning ever more in the direction of…

Originally planned as a Skyrim-like open-world game, set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, Avowed eventually transitioned into being semi-open. By that, I mean lots of very large, open levels, all connected together. But that change aside, in many ways, Avowed does feel like a cross between Skyrim and PoE, and if you’re a fan…
Once upon a time I bought a single, very much regular sized eyebrow pencil online. It arrived in a needlessly MASSIVE cardboard box, presumably for ease of storing in the back of a delivery van. Thankfully most of that box was recyclable, but the same cannot be said for what’s become typical for CPU boxes….
