Real-time strategy games can be pretty complex, but you generally don’t have to concern yourself too much with the economic particulars of whatever war you’re fighting. You harvest your Tiberium, your vespene gas, your minerals, and turn them by alchemy into tanks, guns, and troops. You’ve got tactics to focus on, after all, no need…
Ghosts Exposed is one of the Halloween events happening this year in GTA Online. As is traditional during the spooky season, it’s time to dive back into Los Santos to earn some suitably ghoulish goodies. This time around, you’ll be hunting down ghosts, and taking photos to send as proof so you can reap the…
Sick of the sight of your keyboard? Well, you won’t be with the new Drop CSTM80 thanks to its novel quick-swap top case. The CSTM80 is a tenkeyless board with a magnetic top case allowing for super-swift swaps. Simply pull the top case off and drop a different one on for a pretty comprehensive change…
