Arc Raiders has been in the holiday spirit ever since its Cold Snap update, released earlier this week, saw players swimming in previously hard-to-obtain blueprints. Turns out that this was a minor miscalculation on developer Embark’s part, but only a minor one: the developer has now issued a hotfix that sees the blueprint drop rates…
As rivalries go, you don’t get much bigger than Call of Duty versus Battlefield. Two of the largest, most expensive series around, both of them covering wars both past, present and future—of course there’s going to be some competition. David Goldfarb, who served as lead designer at DICE for Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2,…
Security warnings and updates for PCs, their components, and the software they run are everyday occurrences. So much so that we never really give them much attention: We just download the patch and carry on as normal. However, Asus has warned that many of its Intel motherboards are vulnerable and can allow access to system…

I like the new Dune movies. They’re good. I also like that Funcom’s survival MMO Dune: Awakening is based, stylistically and aesthetically, on the new Dune movies. That’s great. But I do miss some of the sheer weirdness of the original Dune film. Lynch’s Dune film. And if I had to narrow it down to…
I will admit, I was expecting more from the Corsair One. More heat, more noise, more annoyance. After all, the original Corsair One, while admittedly smol, was a noisy ol’ chimney of a PC. But the current design—a bit taller, a bit deeper—is far more suited to the task of keeping both high-end CPU and…
