Dave James, EICHardware (Image credit: Future) This week I’ve been… troubleshooting Linux gaming issues and coming to terms with my double failures as a parent in not being able to indoctrinate my child into loving Star Wars as I do, and still creating a child who’s as obsessed with playing games as I am. Yes,…
Before Call of Duty, there was Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and before Allied Assault, there was plain old Medal of Honor. Although EA’s World War 2 shooter had its heyday storming the beaches of Normandy on PC, it was originally a PlayStation exclusive series, preceding Halo‘s popularisation of the genre on console by a…
If 2026 has taught us anything, it’s that convincing people to play your new multiplayer shooter is hard. The ill-fated Highguard came and went within the space of three months after initially strong player counts dropped off a cliff. And while Marathon appears to have more staying power—which is a mercy because it is superb—all…
Like any survival crafting adventure, Windrose has a ton of new materials and recipes to unlock upon reaching a new area. There are three distinct biomes in the early access build, each with their own Discovery section in your character menu, and a few items from every region can be a bit of a pain…

It was another big awards show for French RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which beat out some very big names to claim the coveted Best Game award at the 2026 BAFTA Games Awards. But it wasn’t the big sweep we’ve seen in past events: The game was nominated in 10 categories but ultimately came away…
As reported by Gaming on Linux, a new bill brought before the US House would require operating systems like Windows, Linux, and MacOS to verify users’ age for installation and, seemingly, regular use. The “Parents Decide Act” has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and is cosponsored by New Jersey Democrat…
Videogames have given me more opportunities to blow up titanic scifi battleships than I could ever hope to count.
