It’s been at least 17 minutes since I’ve read a breathless prediction about AI superintelligence making my brain obsolete, but thankfully Microsoft AI CEO spoke with the Financial Times this week to deliver a doozy: we’re a mere 12-18 months away from AI being able to do the job of practically anybody sitting at a…
Eight years after it launched, and three years after its most recent update, Kingdom Come: Deliverance—the original—has been given an all-new patch that addresses numerous stability and gameplay issues, and will even give you a new caparison for your horse. The first thing to do, naturally, is look up what a “caparison” is. For that,…
The 29th annual DICE Awards, honoring game makers “whose work pushed the boundaries of interactive storytelling, technical innovation,” went down last night, and you’ll never guess who took home the big prize for game of the year.

That’s because they’re actually just humans saying “meow,” not cats, which is probably for the best given what happens to all the poor kitties in the game. There’s a long list of cameo performances from…

Pure Roy of the Rovers and Panini vibes, with a flaming football streaking across the middle to put an exclamation point on “Nutmeg!” I am a man in his mid-forties who’s followed football since I was…

However, as the memory crisis continues to devastate hardware prices, and game performance gets even more unpredictable, optimised games have become a real sign of a quality launch.

PC gaming is an incredibly expensive hobby. Before we can even get into how much full-price games will set you back these days, there’s the not-so-little matter of having the hardware to play them on.
