Upon opening Overwatch to do my lunchtime dailies (this sans-2 reboot has truly rotted my brain and returned me to my 2016 lifestyle) I had a little poke around the menus to see the addition of a very bizarre Arcade mode: ;ASKLDFAL;S C;A. Did someone at Blizzard Team 4 goof? Has a line of code…
Resident Evil’s back, splitting the survival horror action between stealth-only and all-out gunfight scenes with a new character and old favourite Leon. Also back is RE Engine, Capcom’s proprietary engine that first made an appearance with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and now boasts a path tracing option for even more realistic lighting, shadows, reflections, and…
After years of focused Resident Evils that excelled in one particular area or another, Capcom set itself the unenviable task of combining the best parts of all of them into one single game. Puzzles. Horror. Action. Leon Scott Kennedy. Need to Know What is it? A singleplayer action horror game set in some iconic Resident…
I see custom PC builds pass through my newsfeed all the time, and my usual reaction is “meh”. One I’ve been keeping an eye on for a while now, though, has finally reached its conclusion, and it’s such an extreme build that I’m in absolute awe of its creation. Billet Labs has released a video…

In a notice earlier today, Nacon declared that it will “as of today, file for insolvency with the Court and request the opening of judicial reorganisation proceedings.” That is to say, it cannot service…
Here’s another dubious milestone notched up by the memory crisis. The proportion that RAM and storage makes up of the cost of producing an HP PC has doubled this year to 35%. Specifically, HP’s CFO Karen Parkhill was speaking to the usual gathering of highly remunerated bean counters on the company’s quarterly earnings call yesterday…
I love it when a developer takes another swing at an idea they didn’t nail the first time. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has a barren and boring sky to explore, likely because it was made for the humble old Wii. Twelve years and a few hardware upgrades later, Nintendo knocked that same idea…
Like Water Pumps, the humble Camera Lens is so useless in Arc Raiders that you’ve likely never paid it any attention. Now, though, thanks to the new Weather Monitor project, you suddenly need to find three of the blighters, and you’re understandably stumped trying to remember where you’ve run into them. The good news is…
