PC Gaming
Hands up if you remember PCs from the late 1990s or early 2000s? They all had a very distinctive feel to them, as chassis design was generally derivative, and everything computer-related had to be curved in some way. Logitech, it would seems, has decided that the time is ripe to revisit this era and produced…
To accompany the official launch of GLAAD Gaming, the organisation has released its first report on the state of LGBTQ+ gamers in the industry—and it could banish some common assumptions made by the public at-large. Founded in 1985 during the AIDS epidemic, GLAAD targeted defamatory coverage and was able to shift the editorial policy of…
If you’ve ever watched a game trailer in Europe, you’ve almost certainly heard Richard Wells’ voice. He is, in his own words, “the guy who says ‘PEGI 18’ on all of your video games,” which is to say he’s the smooth baritone that lets you know a game’s age rating right before its trailer plays;…
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios has quickly rolled back a small patch— intended to smooth out server issues—after it was causing a noticeable performance drop on PC.

Chat with RTX is now available to download from Nvidia’s website for free from today,…
Trying to kill Chargers is one of Helldivers 2‘s more significant challenges on higher levels. You need the right gear or Stratagems if you want to crack open these large armoured bugs, and if you don’t have them equipped, well, you’ve got to do things the hard way. It wouldn’t be so bad if your…
If AI’s good for anything, it’s for allowing tech companies to summit new, Mansa Musa-like heights in their various market caps. Last month, Microsoft rode the AI boom to a $2.9 trillion valuation, pipping Apple to the post as the most valuable corporation on Earth. And now Nvidia’s getting in on the fun, too. Bloomberg…
Audio gear, including some of the best microphones, can be bulky pieces of equipment to accommodate on your desk. As someone that’s become intimately familiar with the downsides of working within a limited amount of space, it can become tempting to think that it’s easier to use a (usually lesser) headset mic over a standalone…
Ergonomic keyboards are designed to minimise the stress on your shoulders, wrists, and fingers by helping to ensure that they’re all naturally positioned.
