Terminally Online (Image credit: Future) This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer’s very own MMO column. Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice. Ah,…
WHY I LOVE (Image credit: Blizzard) In Why I Love, PC Gamer writers pick an aspect of PC gaming that they love and write about why it’s brilliant. This week, Harvey goes home (in MMORPGs). As World of Warcraft: Midnight gears up, Blizzard’s released its player housing early for those who’ve pre-ordered the expansion—I won’t…

Crucially, the originally-named Bicycle Mod for GTA IV isn’t a daft model swap. Those familiar with…
If there was an award for videogame vehicle of the year (get on that, Game Awards) then the 2025 award would surely go to the Kei truck. The world’s cutest lorry delivered a brilliant comedic performance in April’s open-world driving sim Promise Mascot Agency, before offering a stranger, more haunting turn in September’s Easy Deliver…
