Asus has just released two new security updates: one for the MyAsus app, and one for its routers. Asus itself has said that you should download these patches “immediately”, and with good reason. The MyAsus app update fixes a flaw, rated as high severity, that could give unauthorized attackers higher system privileges. On the router…
Chinese PC gaming specialist Thunderobot has launched a new PC based on an x86 chip not made by AMD or Intel (via Notebookcheck). Instead, the 16-core chip is a Hygon C86-4G CPU. But here’s the twist. That Hygon C86 is actually derived from AMD’s first-gen Zen CPU architecture. What? Yep, Thunderobot has announced the Black…
You ask me (which, by clicking on this article, you did), Yakuza 0 is one of the best games I ever played. It’s so good—such a pitch-perfect blend of high drama and high camp, and with perhaps the most engrossing minigame known to man packed in—that I kind of struggle to pick up other Yakuza…
Schedule 1 was one of 2025’s freshly-cooked batches of surprise hits. Y’know, the kind that comes out of basically nowhere and lands square in the top sellers list—and while it was a year marked with these success stories, it was also the year that saw Steam starting to put the kibosh on adult-themed games. Which,…
D-Cell Games—the developer behind the genuinely fantastic rhythm game Unbeatable—has put out a mighty strong statement as it rallies against big studio figureheads becoming increasingly blunt about integrating generative AI into game development: from Krafton’s declaration that it was pivoting to become an “AI-first” company, to Tim Sweeney clowning on Steam’s AI disclosure requirements, to…
One debate that has been swirling around Arc Raiders for some time now involves Free Loadouts, whether they should exist at all, be nerfed, or sentenced to always join matches late as penance for not putting anything of worth on the line. But I really don’t think any of these solutions are viable options. Issues…
Seemingly at odds with its generally slow actions and limited stamina (even with the best skills to boost your athleticism), Arc Raiders is brimming with broken movement tech. You can leap off a skyscraper, and as long as you grab a ledge or slide at the perfect time, you’re miraculously able to survive. You can…
We all saw it coming, but it still doesn’t feel great. It seems that the RAM shortage that has us all mourning the not-so-terrible prices of a few months ago might now also open the door to a GPU shortage, and small GPU vendors will be hit the hardest. Reputable leaker Golden Pig Upgrade Pack…
Every time I make a kill in Escape from Tarkov, it’s over in a flash. This is not down to skill. Sometimes in Tarkov you’ll be sitting there minding your own business when two players blithely walk by, no idea you’re there, and even with a pop gun it will be the easiest double kill…
The Outer Worlds games take place in an absurd dystopia: a slice of the universe dominated by corporations and the perverse, dehumanising logic that comes with making profit your god. Its people are cogs in a great, blood-greased machine overseen by CEOs, executives, and corpulent moneymen. But it’s not about capitalism. Not intentionally, anyway. So…
