As much as is it displeases me that every week seems to be ‘let’s rag on Intel’ week, it’s hard not to keep bringing up the company’s utter failure to bring its manufacturing up to scratch when big dogs like Bill Gates keep talking about it. At least Gates isn’t ragging—he’s offering a sombre lament….
EA’s CEO, Andrew Wilson, recently voiced some bizarre criticism of Dragon Age: The Veilguard during a quarterly financial call. He suggested that the game struggled because it didn’t have any live service components. EA did announce that The Veilguard underperformed, even if expectations were perhaps set a little too high, but blaming this on the…
Everyone is talking about Nvidia these days. The gaming graphics card company, turned datacentre company, turned AI company, turned Wall Street darling… even my Nan asked me about them recently. But today is not Nvidia’s day. Nope, this build is powered by AMD and Intel parts, working in total synchronicity. You might be surprised to…
EA’s latest quarterly financial call saw the execs wearing something of a hairshirt, with CEO Andrew Wilson having to cop to the underwhelming sales of Dragon Age: The Veilguard alongside the “temporary underperformance” of EA Sports FC 25. “Q3 was not the financial performance we wanted or expected,” said Wilson, adding that despite “performing in…
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second game in the classic RPG remake trilogy, is finally playable on PC. To celebrate the release, Square Enix has made three feathery Chocobo Steam Decks for UK-based charity Special Effect to give away. ‘In-KWEH-dible,’ indeed. Special Effect is primarily known for their work crafting bespoke control set-ups for those…
I’m always looking to add a little whimsy to my day-to-day PC usage, which makes me a total sucker for a desktop pet. A lil’ dude that chills on my screen while I go about my day, minding its own business. It’s just something nice to break up the monotony of Google Chrome windows and…
The thing about Naked Snake is: he’s right there when you least expect it. He’s a shadow in a treeline. A rustling in a locker. A thick forearm crushing your windpipe. He’s also, apparently, an unexpected surprise on Sony’s PlayStation network—the console maker seems to have accidentally uploaded a release date trailer (spotted by users…
One of Marvel Rivals’ most distinctive features (apart from all the superheroes running around) is the destructible terrain. If you press B, the map in front of you will turn grey, except for everything that you can destroy, which will turn yellow. Give it a try for yourself and you’ll see just how much is…
You’ve perhaps seen our in-depth reviews of Nvidia’s new RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 and decided that you’re going to be better off spending your money on an RTX 40-series card instead. AMD’s RDNA 4 cards won’t be here for another month, too, so you’ve decided to go on the hunt for a nice RTX…
As part of Trump’s seemingly isolationist strategy to grow the country’s economy (and apparently combat fentanyl use), the US President recently introduced tariffs against China, Mexico, and Canada. Although the latter two have been delayed, tariffs against China are in force, and we’re already seeing signs of potential impact in the PC gaming sector. Motherboard…
