PC Gaming

Boy, it’s great to play on PC, isn’t it? It’s like the medieval Baghdad of videogames: everything from everywhere eventually passes through here, with all sorts of so-called console exclusives from both sides of the Sony/Microsoft divide making the leap to our neutral platform of choice. Nintendo remains in its well-fortified compound, I suppose, but…

Transparent screens are coming to our devices, we’re increasingly told, and it seems like it wouldn’t be a modern tech show without some sort of demonstration of a see-through screen. They’re pretty, that’s for sure, but I’ve yet to see a reasonable answer to the question of why you’d want one. Lenovo, however, seems to…

When Sony, the creator of the PlayStation, made a gaming headset based on a pretty gamer-centric name like the Inzone, I expected it to be console first, PC second. I am glad to report that my assumption was wrong. Though console players can, of course, use it for whatever nefarious purposes they might have, the…

Patch 6 of Baldur’s Gate 3 is releasing sometime this week—though if you asked the community around 24-48 hours ago, they’d say it’s slated for Valentine’s Day.

Windows 12 may not be coming this year after all. Perhaps one reason is that Microsoft is already struggling to get users to give up Windows 10 and migrate to Windows 11. How can Microsoft encourage users to make the switch? Promote its best features? Better performance? AI functionality? Apparently not. In its latest YouTube…

That sure didn’t take long. Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered is out today, delivering a very nice graphical update to Lara Croft’s original three adventures along with some other niceties, including modern controls and high framerate support. Within hours mods for the remaster were popping up on the Nexus page, most of the initial wave seemingly…

Helldivers 2 has plenty of side objectives to complete as you clear out each planet, but a few of them you can actually finish right from the start of a mission. Both the illegal broadcast towers and the spore spewers that blanket the planet in fog can be destroyed as soon as you start a…

Immortals of Aveum, a singleplayer shooter that released last year, totally flopped, and one person who worked on it reckons that “trying to make a triple-A singleplayer shooter in today’s market was a truly awful idea.” If you also subject yourself to the crucible that is social media discourse, you may have seen one or…
