If you’re shopping around to get ready for the new school year and looking for a gaming laptop to cover a broad range of performance needs, you’ll find plenty of hardware claiming it’s for “gaming,” but just what kind of gaming experience you’ll get is still a huge question. Plenty of brands are happy to…
FOV 90 (Image credit: Future) Welcome to FOV 90, an FPS column from staff writer Morgan Park. Every other week, I cover topics relevant to first-person shooter enjoyers, spanning everything from multiplayer and singleplayer to the old and the new. Welcome back, FPS enjoyers, for a locally-networked edition of FOV 90. I turned 30 this…
Somehow, it’s been 10 years since No Man’s Sky launched on Steam, an infamously inauspicious occasion that over the space of that decade evolved from a cautionary tale about the excesses of hype to one of the best and most enduring exploration adventures you can play. And it’s not done yet: Hello Games has now…
It’s not always interesting, but it’s important to stay on top of operating system updates. However, if you’re on Windows, you’re definitely gonna want to prick up your ears for Microsoft’s September 2026 Patch Tuesday. This might be Microsoft’s biggest Patch Tuesday to date, addressing a whopping 974 security flaws found across both Windows 10…
A researcher for Anthropic has left the AI company and said what many of us are probably already thinking about the company. Taking to X, Jacob Coxon’s resignation tweet has now received over half a million likes in just a single day. He says, “I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both…
I’m still not sure what to make of Control Resonant. I liked Control quite a lot but as a shooter, and I feel very ambivalent about the new and very different ARPG-style gameplay in the sequel. Our Morgan Park seemed cautiously optimistic following his preview session in June, but it’s such a fundamental shift in…
The Wardogs release date fast approaches, following its super popular beta last weekend before it enters early access. As our own FPS aficionado Morgan Park notes, it’s a “100-player milsim that’s inspired by Arma but plays like Battlefield,” and its formula of cash-earning, all-out warfare is definitely appealing to a cross-section of game-hungry shooter crowds….
After months of complaining about Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil film, the internet has finally broken him. In a recent interview with IGN, he admitted how naive he was to think that everyone would be excited, and apologised for not creating the specific vision that those who are unhappy with the film’s direction have. Instead, Cregger…
I don’t envy the position of being a game developer—especially not an encounter designer in something as complicated as an MMO. You might have an idea of how a mechanic’s gonna go, but there’s just absolutely no way it survives contact with 40 motivated, mid-2000s era hardcore WoW players. Former game director at Blizzard Wyatt…
Ah yes, melty cables. We’ve been dealing with them ever since the RTX 4090 pushed the 16-pin 12VHPWR connector (now the 12V-2×6 connector) to its limits. Since then, we’ve heard of numerous cases of melting GPU connectors—check out Uniko’s Hardware on X for many examples—and plenty of attempts at dealing with them. Now, some modders…
