I imagine a lot of people never really bother with Windows Recovery options. But for people like me who test different systems and mess around with different software pretty often, a quick and easy reset can be incredibly useful. That is, assuming it is actually quick and easy, which in my experience hasn’t always been…
Both reporting on and reading about the raging memory supply crisis has meant a procession of bad news. So when someone actually has a win to share, I’ll gladly take it. Case in point, purveyor of modular laptops Framework is actually lowering the price of some of its memory products. “We have a positive update…
Double Fine has ducked out of the way of Microsoft’s falling axe, going independent after the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced layoffs totalling 3,200 people earlier this year. The studio itself has had a bit of a troubled discography after the win of Psychonauts 2, with neither 2025’s Keeper or 2026’s Kiln doing much…
Microsoft has benefited from its services being used by many different governments and state agencies around the world. In many places, it’s become ubiquitous. Some aren’t happy about that, however, not least because it keeps you locked into an ecosystem that Microsoft can dictate the price for. As such, some states around Europe have been…
Exophase, a site dedicated to tracking achievements for games across all major platforms including Steam, appears to have been flooded with a bunch of achievements lists it really shouldn’t have yet.

Last week at IFA 2026 TP-Link announced two new Wi-Fi 8 routers—the Archer 9 Ultra and the Deco 8 Ultra—though the actual price and release date aren’t yet known, other than availability being later this year. While TP-Link claimed these are the first Wi-Fi 8 routers to be revealed, this isn’t quite the case: Asus…
If you were alive and sentient in the nineties you probably harbour some fondness for the “big box” PC games of yore. Back then, rather than buy an ephemeral digital license for a game, you’d head to a store to buy a huge box bedecked in lavish art, inside which you’d find a handful of…
With more than one million copies sold just a few days after its release, a “very positive” rating on Steama, and an enviable 83% review score from PC Gamer, vampiric horror RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker is a hit. And less than one week after its debut, developer Rebel Wolves is already planning what comes…
In Thousand Hells: The Underworld heists, I’ve sort of taken on the role of the dad in that one tweet about feeding cats to coyotes. But rather than serving up pets to jackals, I’m dutifully feeding bands of doomed adventurers into the psychological, corporeal, and spiritual wood chipper of the “tactical narrative” game’s bespoke hellscapes….
One of the biggest videogames of 2025 was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a French JRPG that sold millions of copies, won armloads of awards, and earned not just one but two separate shout-outs from French President Emmanuel Macron. It must’ve made an even bigger impression on him than it first appeared, as over the weekend…
