I play Counter-Strike 2 most nights, and I can’t say I’ve found anything particularly Zen about trying to clutch a 1v4 after my teammate on A-site dies to his own molotov and proceeds to shout expletives in Russian while I try to listen to enemy footsteps. But who am I to say? Not a Buddhist,…
Prise open any random gaming PC, and you’ll be greeted with the common sight of a big cooler on the CPU and GPU, replete with multiple fans and maybe even a coolant loop. But when it comes to the DRAM sticks, you’ll just mostly see a few pieces of metal for a heatsink. Enter stage…
The rumour mill is churning and this time we’ve got a two-for-one special, as word on the street is Overwatch and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is gearing up for a collab. Why, you ask? Well other than living under the same Activision Blizzard umbrella, some eagle-eyed fans have spotted an Overwatch poster in…
Nightmare scenario: Your friend tells you about the cool new game everyone is playing. It’s turn-based combat. Oh hell yeah, you love turn-based combat! You rush to buy the game on said friend’s recommendation. You engage in combat for the very first time. You press a button to parry an att- wait. What the hell?…

With its latest update for Windows 11, codenamed KB5089573, Microsoft has finally started to fully roll out something that it began late last year, and something that phones have supported for even longer. It’s a Bluetooth feature called Shared Audio, and as long as everyone’s hardware ticks off the right boxes, you’ll be able to…
If you recognise the name ‘Anbernic’, it’s likely because you’ve had your eyes on the company’s gorgeous retro gaming handhelds. You might want to think twice before buying one, though, as some folks have accused it of quietly downgrading the DDR4 memory to DDR3 and cutting memory size in half, with Anberic reportedly only denying…
Other bits of PC hardware might not be, but controllers are actually in a really good place right now. There are so many options for all kinds of feel, layouts, and designs, and many of them rival Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo for build quality, too. That’s why, when I saw a company touting itself as…
Intel has just announced some new processors for handheld gaming PCs, and everyone knows what that means: a new MSI Claw.
