The point of Microsoft’s Bitlocker security feature is to protect personal data stored locally on devices and particularly when those devices are lost or otherwise physically compromised. With Bitlocker, it shouldn’t matter if you lose your laptop or somebody pinches your SSD. Your data still can’t be accessed. Except it can and all that’s needed…
Following last year’s expensive Shadows of Change DLC, the Total War: Warhammer 3 community’s Public Order score dropped until it was only a few turns away from outright rebellion. Redditors and YouTubers folded in a bunch of perennial complaints about bugs and update cadence and communication and how they want one specific kind of beastmen…

ASRock has released new BIOS’ for its range of Z790 motherboards that allow you to get some ‘free’ performance.

Skull and Bones is finally coming out this month (or so we’re told), and this week’s open beta is Ubisoft’s last best chance to convince us that the long-delayed pirate game is worth $60. I played a few hours of it today, and I can’t say I’m convinced, though I won’t rule out that it…
Diablo 4’s Lunar New Year event doesn’t feel like an event at all. The promised cosmetic rewards take about an hour to earn and trying to find the XP-boosting Lunar Shrines is harder than trying to find an Uber Unique. It’s as if the event was designed for the Diablo 4 that existed before season…
Clue, or Cluedo for non-Americans, is my favorite family board game. (Great movie too.) It’s the kind of thing you can bring out when you’re not playing with people who know every Catan expansion front-to-back and are halfway through some giant legacy game and have like three Kickstarters they’re waiting on. Clue is a game…
Helldivers 2 launched on Steam today and unfortunately seems to have got off to a bit of a shaky start network-wise: the reviews are currently “mixed,” and the mood music is that people are enjoying the game but deeply frustrated by connection issues. The studio admits it’s in “crisis mode” and at the time of…
You think Gordon Freeman had it tough? Dude never had to stop what he was doing and run to the bathroom to poop while fighting his way through interdimensional monsters and psychotic marines in the Black Mesa Research Facility. Ol’ heroic Gordo was also pretty content to get the help of a bunch of science…
Skull and Bones costs $60, or your local equivalent, and that’s a hefty price tag for something that bears the trappings of a live-service game, including an in-game store, battle pass, seasonal events, and premium currency.
