After you spend above a certain amount of money on your gaming keyboard, you’re not really paying for quality, specs, or competitive edge anymore. I felt this recently while testing out Melgeek’s Centauri 80. In my approximation, any more than $200 and you move into bragging rights/centrepiece territory, and by that logic, I reckon the…
I will openly admit that I’m not usually a fighting game person. I enjoy playing Mortal Kombat with my equally bad friends, but as soon as I’m up against someone who knows their shit, I’m fumbling over the controls. Unsurprisingly, it’s not all too fun getting your ass whooped and feeling like there’s little you…
Minecraft has been out a whole 17 years now, which makes me feel very old as I played it as a teenager when it launched, using (I believe) an AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition and 9600 GT. Oh how times have changed. Now, Microsoft has updated its system requirements to 16 GB of…
One of your tasks in Forza Horizon 6‘s Series 3 Autumn series is to travel to Naruo Golf Course to photograph the 1997 Maserati Ghibli Cup for the Afternoon Tee challenge. But unlike most tourist destinations, Naruo Golf Course isn’t explicitly marked on your map. To save you from driving around Japan to find the…
We’d be fools to expect much talk of desktop chips at the ‘Advancing AI’ event, but we can always grab pinches of salt and attempt to infer what talk about server chips might mean for desktop. To that end, I’d say (tentatively) that what AMD has revealed about its upcoming Zen 6-based ‘Venice’ server processor…
ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) is planning to break into the US memory market. According to sources close to the matter, branching out overseas is part of a longer-term plan for the Chinese firm that has swiftly become the fourth-biggest maker of memory in the world. CXMT has been on my radar lately as multiple motherboard…
Bethesda is eager to reassure you that its house is not, in fact, on fire in the wake of 3,200 layoffs (1,600 that already happened, 1,600 that are still to come) at Xbox that claimed numerous devs at the studio, including the artist responsible for designing The Elder Scrolls’ khajiit and argonians. Thus, its recent…
The Halo remake has released for those who forked out for the advance access version, and they’re not thrilled with what they’ve got. At time of writing, Halo: Campaign Evolved is sitting at a humdrum 68% Mixed rating in the Steam user review scores—a mere 2% off the score given to the game by our…
The best gaming mouse on the market right now is the Razer Viper V4 Pro. It’s the best because it’s light, very well-built, performant, and has great battery life. This last quality—its battery life—is largely thanks to Razer’s new FrameSync tech, which is kind of like G-Sync but for a mouse sensor rather than a…
On its early access launch yesterday, those who paid to get early access to Halo: Campaign Evolved on Steam couldn’t seem to open the game, as it simply wouldn’t stop opening up the art book instead. I mean, I enjoy a good art book as much as the next guy, but not being able to…
