Let’s be honest: 2023 wasn’t exactly the best year for stunning GPU releases. Not for cards that blew our collective minds or opened our collective wallets. However, that’s not to say we haven’t reviewed some great candidates for our graphics card of the year, and it’s quite telling that our picks here fit squarely into…
At the beginning of this year, I said something that I would deeply come to regret: “I’m sick of 100-hour RPGs.” Long-ass games were my entire personality for so much of my life that I don’t know why I ever thought such a thing. Twelve months down the line I’m glad I can eat my…
Modern CPUs are all so good that we’re the winner here, not the hardware. No matter what budget you have, you’ll easily find a processor that will suit you just fine. It’s the same if you want something just for gaming, a chip that’s more versatile, or if you need a CPU to power through…
You’re now just one click away from winning the December 27 (921) Wordle—the answer’s ready and waiting if you need it. You’re also in the right place if you’re after a tailor-made clue for today’s game too, if you’d like a bit of help without being handed the solution on a plate. Whatever Wordle support…
I think you know what I’m talking about here: Far Cry 9 comes out on September 7, but if you shell out an extra $15 for the Premium Deluxe Plus Edition, you can get a five-day head start clearing the bases of whatever caricature of a 20th century revolutionary movement Ubisoft’s cooked up this year….
Choosing a $2,000 gaming monitor as my pick for 2023 isn’t exactly democratic, even if the monstrous Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 G95NC is already $500 cheaper than when I reviewed it earlier this year. But it is one of those rare cases where a premium priced product gives you something genuinely special. At 57 inches,…
I love everything about boomer shooters except for the fact that a better name hasn’t managed to stick. I’ve taken to calling them “good FPS games with health packs and keycards” in protest, but naming conventions aside, this loosely related group of show-stopping shooters hasn’t let off the gas for years now, and there’s no…
80 hours into Baldur’s Gate 3, and I’ve just completed Act Two. I’ve battled through goblin camps, explored the Underdark, and braved the cursed shadowlands around Moonrise Tower. I’ve saved countless lives, and taken almost as many. I’ve broken my Paladin oath and had it restored. I’m even halfway to becoming a psychic squid man….
Before we sing Auld Lang Syne to celebrate the end of the year, there are two gorgeous games I need to give their flowers. Alan Wake 2 and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora have made my year for PC graphics. Both games arrived at the tail-end of 2023, and thank goodness they did, for otherwise we…
You know when you’re playing The Sims and you’re directing your little person to make improvements to their house or cook a meal or try on some new clothes? Then a neighbor abruptly appears at the front door and suddenly your Sim has a tantrum because they’re a little hungry or sleepy? It’s cute stuff….
