Even Superman builds his own PC these days. That’s right, a couple of years back Henry Cavill stripped down to his tank top and took to Instagram to slot together a series of hand-picked components and built himself a glorious gaming PC. With PCDIY Day coming up on December 3rd, it’s only natural that minds…
Back in January, on the cusp of Stadia’s demise, Google released a final firmware update for Stadia controllers that enabled users to turn them into a standard Bluetooth device so they could continue to be used wirelessly. It was a considerate move for sure, but what may have gone largely unnoticed at the time is…
I’m not usually a big crafting-survival game guy but Nightingale has me intrigued, both for its premise—neo-Victorian explorers plunging through portals to investigate dangerous otherworldly realms—and its pedigree: Developer Inflexion Games is headed up by former BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn, and has a number of other BioWare veterans on staff. After a handful of…
Before we’re bombarded with trailers at The Game Awards next week, and even before we get a glimpse of GTA 6 in its first-ever trailer on December 5, there’s something else coming along to tease your eager eyeballs. Amazon Prime Video is preparing to broadcast a “special announcement” on Saturday, December 2 (tomorrow) and it’s…
One of the world’s footballing greats, Cristiano Ronaldo, has been named in a class action lawsuit in the US for his promotion of the crypto exchange Binance. Binance was in the news most recently after the CEO stepped down and both he and the company pleaded guilty to money laundering charges in the US and…
Call of Duty’s DMZ mode launched as part of Warzone 2.0 and, at the time, felt like it could be the next big multiplayer thing. Shows what I know, but the mode was essentially a fast-paced and slicker take on some key Tarkov mechanics, and the PvEvP rhythm was a welcome change in pace for…
Slime 3K: Rise Against Despot is basically a horror game. Not that you’d notice: It tries to mask its horror as best it can, hiding behind a silly, giddy façade, delighting in quirky abilities, quippy one-liners and a general sense of irreverence. You mow down an unending army of puny human enemies—some with shields and…
Back in September, senior editor Wes Fenlon praised Cyberpunk 2077’s astonishing turnaround but said he still yearned for a fully functioning metro system so he could properly enjoy the grimy majesty of Night City. Today CD Projekt served up some good news for Wes: It’s coming in the surprise 2.1 patch that was announced yesterday….
The latest patch of Baldur’s Gate 3 has a lot of quality-of-life updates. It has a lovely little epilogue, a gnarly new honour mode that’s been giving Ted Litchfield spikes in his blood pressure, among many other tune-ups and fixes. And uh, schlong physics. Did we mention the schlong physics? Because Larian sure didn’t. I’d…
Artificial frame generation technology. Even typing those words feels vaguely science-fiction, but ever since the release of Nvidia’s DLSS 3 Frame Generation (and much later, AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames), it’s become a concept that’s gone beyond the theoretical into the everyday.
