The premise of Slay the Princess is immediately intriguing. You’re a hero seeking a captive princess, but as the title suggests, you’re told you must kill her, not rescue her, or else she’ll end the world. She seems like a normal young woman—are you being deceived into committing a cruel murder, or is she truly…
The Simpsons Hit & Run—a GTA-style send-up that somehow managed to be actually pretty dang good—came out in 2003 to some stirring commercial success. I have some fond memories of romping around Springfield as an accident-prone Homer, and while I’m certainly not alone, the game never had a sequel. Turns out, it very nearly had…
Tracking down the three Essence of Aether samples is one of the many missions you’ll find yourself undertaking in Act Two of Modern Warfare 3‘s zombie mode. While the game does give you a location name where you can find each sample, that’s not much to go on in a map as expansive as the…
The Megabomb—or Mega Abomination to give its full title—is the toughest boss in Modern Warfare 3‘s new zombies mode. If you’re a fan of Warzone’s DMZ but are a little disappointed MWZ doesn’t have more bosses like the Scavenger, Pyro, and Bullfrog, this is definitely one for you to look up.

But…
Baldur’s Gate 3 is flooded with little secrets and hidden dialogue. Despite the fact the game’s been out for months, I’m still seeing players discover hidden exchanges, tucked behind weird progression orders and specific origin stories. Spoilers for the true identity of the Dark Urge lie below. The Dark Urge is one of a few…
Billionaire and omnipresent main character Elon Musk has declared he was once one of the best Quake players in the world, to the tune of winning money for his skills. This obviously sounds like the kind of thing your mate would say after their third pint, but the revelation came during an interview with podcaster…
If you signed up for PC Game Pass just to play Bethesda’s sprawling space epic Starfield, then you may still be too busy system-hopping for your attention to stray to other matters like dealing with your backlog of laundry or indeed playing other games. But compelling though Starfield may be, it’s not going anywhere, and…
You know when people use human or anatomical analogies to describe parts of a PC, like how the CPU is the brain, the motherboard is the skeleton, your liquid cooling pipes are arteries, and power cables are… veins? OK, we’ve never heard of some of those either, but few anatomical analogies are more apt than…
The back half of 2023 has delivered again. The triple-A belters are stacking up, with Alan Wake 2 and COD: Modern Warfare 3 showcasing what modern GPUs are really capable of. Meanwhile, big hitters like Baldur’s Gate 3, Diablo VI and Starfield offer roughly seven bazillion hours of content, and you’ve been juggling life and…
