By inexplicable coincidence, the best videogames ever all seemed to come out when I was between the ages of 10 and 13. KOTOR, Oblivion—the list goes on. Scientists are presumably trying to figure out just what was in the water during that period, leading as it did to, objectively, the bestest and most important games…
At the risk of being known as even more of a dork around these parts, I am now going to publicly admit that I have long fantasised about living near a big mouse and mouse pad testing facility. I’m in possession of enough mice and pads now that I could probably recreate that myself, but…
Once you complete Order/Chaos for MIDA in Marathon, Gantry will give you the Protect/Destroy contract, which has five steps.

Staying on theme with the faction, you’re sticking it to the UESC, this time by triggering alarms and hacking into encrypted data across Dire Marsh. Surprise, surprise, that’s easier said than done. You’ve got three different objectives…
I didn’t think there was any way birdwatching could become fear-inducing, but Birds Watching proved me very wrong. Instead of the relaxing walking simulator you’d expect from a game primarily about watching the birds, it keeps you nervous: looking over your shoulder at all times in case some towering monster is lurking behind you. I…
According to new Jon Peddie research, people are buying fewer graphics cards, and they’re still mostly Nvidia ones. For the final quarter of 2025, overall AIB (graphics card add-in board) shipments “decreased by 4.4% compared to the prior quarter.” And within that market, “AMD’s overall AIB market share decreased by -1.6% from last quarter; Intel’s…
Look, I get it: you can get a lot of videogame news anywhere, right? So I try to be interesting. I try to spice things up. I try to write in a funny and personable way that you hopefully don’t find aggravating, so that you choose to spend your time reading news on PC Gamer…
Microsoft is beginning to take the wraps off Project Helix, its newly-teased Xbox console that has been promised to play both Xbox and PC games. While we know very little about the machine for now, new CEO of Microsoft Gaming Asha Sharma says we’ll be finding out more at next week’s GDC. Which makes me…
