Back in July, the world’s Neopets nearly got sent to a farm upstate. The edutainment company that maintained the 24-year-old virtual pets webgame was shuttered by its owner, NetDragon, and all the Kortbats and Wockys and Blumaroos might’ve gone with it if a management buyout hadn’t kept the site alive. Now, for the first time…
Every three months or so, we get a new challenge league for Path of Exile—its version of seasons. A fresh start with new characters, new items, new content, and another chance to roll the same Lightning Arrow Deadeye I did the first 30 times. What we don’t get, however, especially in the last few leagues,…
We said in October that Cyberpunk 2077’s redemption is complete, but I think that may have been a little premature because now it’s really complete: CD Projekt has finally settled the class action lawsuit filed against it in 2020 by investors who weren’t happy with the state of the game at launch. It’s easy to…
September 17, 2013: the hotly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 5 launches to critical acclaim on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Surely we won’t have to wait long on PC, right? Fast forward a year and a half (and two next-gen console versions) later, and GTA 5 finally got a PC release on April 14, 2015….
Next week, Diablo 4 will drop a new endgame seasonal event that is so hard you might not be able to finish the last tier of it. Blizzard demonstrated it on stream yesterday and promised that it would challenge the most powerful builds in the game. Possibly out of mercy, Blizzard will make it much…
It sure looks like Alan Wake 2 will be getting a New Game+ mode soon, and I mean “looks like” in the most literal sense possible. Remedy teased the upcoming addition with an image of its titular hero standing on a nighttime rooftop, with the words “New Game+” silhouetted in a flashlight beam. Here it…
There are many good reasons to opt for a tailor-made PC over a pre-built model, and you don’t have to be a tech expert to appreciate them. Firstly there’s cost—you’re free to pick and choose the best value components across the whole market. Self-assembly doesn’t just save you even more money, but gives you valuable…
Even Superman builds his own PC these days. That’s right, a couple of years back Henry Cavill stripped down to his tank top and took to Instagram to slot together a series of hand-picked components and built himself a glorious gaming PC. With PCDIY Day coming up on December 3rd, it’s only natural that minds…
Back in January, on the cusp of Stadia’s demise, Google released a final firmware update for Stadia controllers that enabled users to turn them into a standard Bluetooth device so they could continue to be used wirelessly. It was a considerate move for sure, but what may have gone largely unnoticed at the time is…
I’m not usually a big crafting-survival game guy but Nightingale has me intrigued, both for its premise—neo-Victorian explorers plunging through portals to investigate dangerous otherworldly realms—and its pedigree: Developer Inflexion Games is headed up by former BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn, and has a number of other BioWare veterans on staff. After a handful of…
