As Tom’s Hardware reported, X user Keripo posted an image and video of a physical game they had bought online on Feb. 26—more accurately, a rare pre-release trial version of the visual novel Tsukihime by Type-Moon. Only 50 copies of this particular trial version were ever produced, and as you can see in Keripo’s picture,…

World of Warcraft: Midnight is the first time players have had a real reason to return to the elven city of Silvermoon since it was released in 2007. Many players, including me, find the expanded version to be a beautiful update to an iconic location in Azeroth. We also all agree that Blizzard needs to…

Generative AI has been showing up in games so often these days that I don’t know who to trust anymore. It seems like every day there’s another game studio or publisher plaguing their games with more gen AI voice acting, gen AI chat bots, or gen AI art. Blizzard developers, however, have come out against…

When Squid Game first exploded onto Netflix in late 2021, its influence on other forms of popular culture was immediate.

It’s been a good time for Space Marine 2 lately. The new Techmarine class is up and at ’em, giant axe and all. It’s also been a rough time for Space Marine 2 lately. As reported by IGN, a new DLC has just been released that promises loads of new voice lines—while it technically does…

If you like Star Wars games, you may occasionally lament that there just aren’t enough of them. You may even lament that some of them are just too hard to revisit, aged as they are by decade upon decade of jank and compatibility issues. TIE Fighter: Total Conversion might address both of those woes, given…

Soundtrack Sunday Welcome to Soundtrack Sunday, where a member of the PC Gamer team takes a look at a soundtrack from one of their favourite games—or a broader look at videogame music as a whole—offering their thoughts or asking for yours! God, Stardew Valley turned 10 this week, didn’t it? That feels sort of wild…

I did not expect Running With Scissors to announce a new FPS where you play as a victim of one of the massacres depicted in the original Postal.
