Call of Duty, just like any competitive game that achieves success, has a cheating problem. Some players will always want to cheat, cheat sellers will always sell cheats, and developers fight to stop such behaviour ruining things for everyone else. So back in 2021 publisher Activision announced it was getting serious about anti-cheat: kernel-level serious….
In case there was any doubt (and there really shouldn’t be at this point), the Steam Deck is a major hit. Speaking to The Verge, designers Lawrence Yang and Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve’s handheld gaming PC has now sold “multiple millions” of units. Prior to the Steam Deck, Valve hadn’t had great luck on the…
Baldur’s Gate 3 gobbled up five awards in London today at The Golden Joystick Awards, an annual event put on by PC Gamer’s publisher. That’s Larian CEO Swen Vincke hugging the haul with a big grin in the photo above, which was posted on X by Larian director of publishing Michael Douse. The D&D RPG,…

When you first start Mob Factory, it seems like just a very simple tower defence game. There’s a hole in the ground. Worms come out of it. They follow a clearly marked path towards your castle. You set up crossbow towers, which shoot arrows at the worms, so that they die and don’t reach your…
The new Modern Warfare 3 zombies mode is a little different than its previous incarnations, and takes a fair bit of influence from Warzone 2’s DMZ. The aptly named, MWZ, is an open world version of zombies in which you drop into the Urzikstan Exclusion Zone with your squadmates and have to survive to extract. …
I chatted to Amelia Tyler earlier this week. In case you’re unfamiliar, Tyler’s the voice of Baldur’s Gate 3’s narrator, but she’s also a huge nerd and a seasoned roleplayer. While we talked about her favourite voice lines—as well as playing the Dark Urge‘s inner monologue—the conversation inevitably shifted towards pen & paper. We got…
Twitch will no longer let viewers pay their way to the top (of chat) come November 15. It’s dropping the controversial Hype Chat feature it brought in back in June this year, which allowed people to spend anywhere from $1 to $500 to get their chat messages pinned—in dazzling technicolour—to the top of a streamer’s…
GPU silly season continues with a new round of claims from serial ‘leak’ outlet Moore’s Law is Dead. This time it’s the pricing and full specs for Nvidia’s rumoured RTX 40 Super GPUs. Namely, we’re talking RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Super, and the word salad that is RTX 4070 Ti Super. All of what…
