Fallout 4‘s overall rating on Steam is “very positive” but its recent rating is “mixed,” with user reviews languishing well under 50% positive. If you’re wondering why, you can thank the recent Fallout 4 Creations Menu update. Released earlier this month alongside the Creations Bundle (which is struggling under a “mostly negative” rating) to celebrate…
We reported on a bizarre Windows 11 bug late last month that allowed Task Manager to survive the closing process, leading to multiple stacked instances that could eventually eat into your PCs performance. It might have taken the crown for the weirdest Windows quirk we’ve seen all year, but now we’ve had our fun, MS…
It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since Phasmophobia kicked off a whole subgenre of multiplayer horror games, but the team at Kinetic Games isn’t lacking when it comes to ideas for new haunts. Nell’s Diner—an intricately detailed small map with all the charm of a haunted Waffle House—launched this week and I’m already…
Godzilla’s been having a bit of a moment lately, hasn’t he? Between the hugely successful Monsterverse movies in the US, and Japanese filmmakers knocking out smash hit reinterpretations Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One, the stink of Godzilla 1998 seems to have been entirely dispelled. What better time, then, for the big fella to finally…
Valve’s Steam Machine has been received generally quite well so far. Judging by online commentary, there’s plenty of excitement for it, although pretty much everything of course rests on its pricing. But apart from the over-abundance of still-somehow-funny ‘GabeCube’ comments, what I’ve seen perhaps the most is people questioning why the Steam Machine has just…
If you’ve got an old Asus router, you might want to check whether it’s needing a firmware update. Asus has just reported that three of its older DSL modem routers have a critical vulnerability, an “authentication bypass vulnerability” that “may allow remote attackers to gain unauthorized access into the affected system.” Asus hasn’t just dropped…
If you’re experiencing déjà vu following Valve’s announcement of a little cubic “Steam Machine”—essentially a PC gaming console—it’s because Valve already announced and launched Steam Machines a decade ago. It didn’t work out so well back then, but this time, I think Valve has a real shot at finally decoupling a respectable chunk of PC…
A Reddit user has posted an alarming investigation into the disk activity associated with AMD’s PC graphics driver. Among other examples of heavy storage traffic, it turns out the AMD graphics driver is making hundreds of modifications to log files every time you move or resize a window. So, is the AMD graphics driver a…
I found myself staring at this render of a Dbrand Portal companion cube case for Valve’s newly-announced Steam Machine for far too long this morning. I mean, it could be a joke, right? For a start, it’s a render, and not a particularly good one at that. For a second, it appeared on Dbrand’s site…
Sony has announced that Bungie’s upcoming extraction shooter Marathon, which was initially slated for release this year before a negatively received beta saw it delayed, will still release by March 2026. Brilliantly, Sony announced this in the same financial report that saw it basically throw its hands up and tell investors, yeah, that Bungie acquisition…
