Have I ever mentioned that I, for one, welcome our new LLM overlords? No? Well, now I have and with that sentiment of self-serving surrender comes news from the researchers at MIT. They have a new way to measure how AI is going to impact the labour market, you see, and this “Iceberg Index” now…
A few weeks ago, some players discovered a glitch that could get you through locked doors in Arc Raiders, whether it be by using a barricade in solos or jumping on your friend’s head in squads. But the reign of getting through locked doors without a key has finally come to an end in the…
Destiny 2‘s had a bad go of it in 2025. I’ve only been watching from the sidelines, but you only have to listen to PC Gamer’s resident D2 enjoyer (well, not so much, recently) Phil Savage in his tear-down of the game’s portal update to get a sense of what’s gone wrong: “The new version…
The Game Awards are once again bearing down on us, bringing with it the usual year-ending slurry of announcements, trailers, random bits of awkwardness, and other such surprises as God and Geoff see fit. Oh, and some awards too, scattered here and there amidst the sound and fury, including one for Most Anticipated Game. This…
Last week Magic: the Gathering announced its Monster Hunter collaboration, to which PC Gamer’s Lincoln Carpenter replied “hell yeah.” But after MTG shared details on the long-awaited Secret Lair drop, the internet replied—and I’m paraphrasing here—hell no. Now Wizards of the Coast is delaying the set so it can get it right. As the company…
Assassin’s Creed Shadows got its first expansion in September: Claws of Awaji. Bringing a new region, new storyline, and new icons to sprawl your objective board out even further, it was a meaty chunk of game in the vein of AC DLCs that went before it—Wrath of the Druids and Siege of Paris for Valhalla,…
There was a particular flavour to the Flash games era of the 2000s. Sites like Newgrounds overflowed with weird and wonderful experiments, hacking together new styles and genres. Some found ways to survive and live on in modern gaming, but most simply withered away, too strongly tied to that time and place. War Rats could…
Asus has just released two new security updates: one for the MyAsus app, and one for its routers. Asus itself has said that you should download these patches “immediately”, and with good reason. The MyAsus app update fixes a flaw, rated as high severity, that could give unauthorized attackers higher system privileges. On the router…
Chinese PC gaming specialist Thunderobot has launched a new PC based on an x86 chip not made by AMD or Intel (via Notebookcheck). Instead, the 16-core chip is a Hygon C86-4G CPU. But here’s the twist. That Hygon C86 is actually derived from AMD’s first-gen Zen CPU architecture. What? Yep, Thunderobot has announced the Black…
You ask me (which, by clicking on this article, you did), Yakuza 0 is one of the best games I ever played. It’s so good—such a pitch-perfect blend of high drama and high camp, and with perhaps the most engrossing minigame known to man packed in—that I kind of struggle to pick up other Yakuza…
