I’ve been playing Halo: Campaign Evolved on the rather beefy Asus ROG Xbox Ally X without upscaling and things aren’t looking pretty. Well, they are looking quite pretty, but they certainly aren’t running pretty. You’ll definitely want some upscaling to do that, and in my testing, FSR Medium is the best way to go. Strangely,…

Few things scream Halo so much as venting a Grunt’s cranium to the sound of cheering children and a burst of confetti. Well, you’ll be glad to know that Grunt Birthday Party is still available in Halo: Campaign Evolved. This skull collectible, alongside the other 32 added to the game, is actually available in the…
It’s wise to turn off motion blur in any game that will let you, but Halo: Campaign Evolved has some of the worst I’ve experienced in recent times—and that goes doubly so for handhelds and lower-end rigs. If you’re running between 30 and 60 fps, the game becomes a nightmare of blurred frames with no…
It seems we can’t catch a break lately when it comes to PC gaming hardware. All thanks to the global memory shortage, of course. Now, according to information Benchlife claims to have received, Nvidia is raising prices for its GDDR6 as well as GDDR7 GPU kits. That means the RTX 5050 and some RTX 40-series…
Amazon really confounded us all last month when, following the successful launch of 007 First Light, Amazon Gaming general manager Jeff Gattis mused that sequels would be “done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios.” Given that so many people—barring one uncontroversial and universally beloved PC Gamer writer—rather liked IOI’s Bond game, it was…
Human ingenuity is a powerful—sometimes terrifying—thing. Throughout history, no matter how basic the tools available to us, we have always found a way to build the weird obsessions that appear in our minds. You know, like Stonehenge, or the Pyramids, or Doom (1993). No, really. In a recent chat with Jesse Petrilla on YouTube, id…
PC gaming isn’t always the most inclusive space. Besides the high price of everything from components to games, standard gaming peripherals such as a keyboard and mouse can exclude lots of folks with limited mobility. An expanding array of assistive devices is attempting to bridge that gap. Augmental describes itself as a company specialising in…
As someone who frequently finds themselves embroiled in gargantuan, branching RPGs and spends far too much time in live service romps, I really appreciate a game I don’t need to dedicate my life to—a nice palette cleanser that’s one and done. And it looks like Star Wars Zero Company falls into that category. In a…
Hideo Kojima sure has been thinking about death a lot lately. Though he’s a pretty spritely 62 years old, the Metal Gear and Death Stranding creator has made our pages recently for things like: talking about deciding to make Physint after a brush with death in 2020, making a game where you get old and…
