PC Gaming
Rather than juggling way too many tabs in Chrome, I sweep them all into OneTab and promptly forget about them—extensions and plugins are great. If I still had my own blog, I’d probably use them for all sorts of things, but third-party platform add-ons also represent a security concern. It’s important to double-check the provenance…
I love money so much. I’d marry a banknote if it was socially acceptable, and then I’d cheat on it with coins. But I also love PC games, and oh no! They’re more expensive than ever. And don’t even get me started on console exclusives, that demand you pony up for the hardware too. That’s…
There are some questions in life that are rightly acknowledged as fundamental to our existance as human beings. Who am I? Why are we here? What’s that smell? What are they eating, that looks tasty? And it’s the same with PC gaming, and one of the most important question any PC gamer has to deal…
Microsoft’s fabled Project Helix chip, the AMD-engineered basis of the next-gen Xbox console, will reportedly be used by Asus, MSI and other brands to make third-party gaming machines. However, consumers won’t be able to buy the Helix chip separately. So says KeplerL2, one of the most reliable members of the tech-leak illuminati. Posting on NeoGAF…
Capcom’s new sci-fi hit, Pragmata, was released to glowing reviews late last week, and much praise has been heaped on its relatively excellent performance. That’s with ray tracing enabled instead of the game’s path tracing option, of course. Path tracing is known to be a resource hog, particularly in a game world covered in shadows…

In a farewell message posted to LinkedIn (via GamesRadar), Wolfkill revealed that she’d concluded her career at Microsoft on April…
Fallout: New Vegas is one of those games that only seemed to rise in peoples’ esteem as time’s gone on—especially since it seems like a milestone marker for the last remnants of the series’ more oldschool CRPG spirit before Fallout 4 saddled gamers with a voiced protagonist. But it’s a matter of public record that…
With The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, developer Owlcat is taking its first leap out of the isometric RPG genre it’s claimed a foothold in with games like Pathfinder: Kingmaker and into something more inspired by the glory days of Mass Effect. Heading into a hands-on preview of the game, my big question is: can the studio…
I’ve had my mitts over more mice in the last year than I’d like to admit, and out of those, there are a few that have really stuck out for different reasons. When it comes to shape, though, apart from the Zowie EC2-DW I’m currently testing, my absolute fave has been the Pulsar X3 CrazyLight…
When even a mid-tier pre-built gaming rig costs further above a grand than anyone would like, there’s no ignoring it: PC gaming is an extremely expensive hobby. Thankfully, Intel may be moving to make high-tier performance just a little more accessible for those on a budget. Robert Hallock, the VP & GM of Intel’s enthusiast…
