Los Santos Customs I’m modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely. Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I’ve done to Rockstar’s baby, or check out what I got up to earlier. Sometimes you have to…
Last week in Warsaw I got to see a first glimpse of Logitech’s new Replay software, which is currently in beta. It records your game, and then lets you use its deep learning (technically not AI, I know) to figure out the best clips and splice them together for you. It looked pretty neat, from…
The ask this month was a simple one. Take a trio of mid-range(ish) laptops, the Asus TUF Gaming A16, the Lenovo Legion 5, and the MSI Katana 15 HX. Benchmark the crap out of them, run them as a daily driver for a spell, research the bejesus out of them, and then see which one…
“A union divided cannot stand,” reads a famous quote from a famous man. But only now can we finally know why Abraham Lincoln said what he said. There’s no shadow of a doubt in my mind he was (in this journalist’s opinion), predicting the rise and fall of MSI’s Katana 15 HX B14W 2026 edition….
“I’m sure you’ll enjoy reviewing this single-channel Lenovo laptop,” Dave joked, as we ended a call discussing the new PC Gamer benchmark database. I laughed, as you do, because it’s one of those things that I’ve written about extensively in recent months, (and moaned at PC Gamer, a lot more about besides), and one I…
As I’ve asserted elsewhere, every game has two lives: The first begins on its launch day; the second when a modder inevitably puts Goku in it. Provided enough time, all games eventually conform to this axiom—sometimes even those that had already hosted a Goku to begin with. But the universal drive to mod Goku into…
I have a lot of fond memories about Arc Raiders’ release. The world was beautiful, terrifying, and expansive. It provided some of the best community interactions I’ve had in a game to date, and it was just a refreshingly good time to share with friends. But that didn’t last as long as I and many…
Deadlock players are eating just about better than anyone else right now, as Valve has finally dropped the huge update we’d been promised and oh boy, it’s a doozy. City Never Sleeps has brought six new characters who are waiting to be unlocked by community vote, a bunch of UI reworks, more voicelines, and a…
After the FBI data breach we reported on last week, in which a hacking group claimed it had stolen data on “all FBI employees”, a US defence official has confirmed that the Pentagon also fell victim to a cybersecurity breach. Except this one appears to be much larger, lasted for longer, and is potentially very…
