All good things come to an end, and when that happens, we often look back and grumble aloud that change isn’t always welcome. If you’ve been a fan of AMD’s bundled CPU coolers over the past few years, then you may well fall into that camp, as the sun has now set on the Wraith…
Cronos: The New Dawn takes place in a post-apocalyptic version of the Kraków district of Nowa Huta during the 1980s. It seems like an oddly specific location, that is, until you actually ask the devs over at Bloober Team why they decided to set their upcoming survival horror game here. “It’s a district where I…
Although AI is absolutely the main focus of Nvidia right now, with Jen-Hsun now referring to it as “an AI infrastructure company”, the green team hasn’t forgotten about gaming. The launch of the RTX 50-series graphics cards this year has certainly been a boon for the company and accounts for a huge increase in gaming…
Oh, Starfield. Since the release of—and lukewarm response to—the Shattered Space expansion almost a full year ago, Bethesda’s been very quiet about what it’s got planned for the game that was once anticipated enough to send Baldur’s Gate 3 scurrying for cover. In fairness, the studio’s had other irons in the fire, most notably the…
If any one thing can claim responsibility for sending me down the dark, dark path of writing for a living, it’s probably MUDs—text-based MMOs from an era before 3D graphics that somehow still endure today. It wasn’t school, it wasn’t uni, it wasn’t a mentor’s encouragement or some precocious childhood proclivity. I just spent most…
Correlation without causation was the caveat we applied last week to reports that the KB5063878 update for Windows 11 was nuking SSDs and HDDs. Now SSD controller maker Phison has reported back on an extensive investigation into the alleged issue. The outcome? Nothing to see here. In a statement to WCCFTech, Phison said it had,…
In the world of PCs and PC gaming, debates are usually quite evenly distributed. AMD vs Intel. AMD vs Nvidia. WASD vs arrow keys. Cats vs dogs. You’ll find arguments for either side most of the time. However, when it comes to Unreal Engine 5, comments from PC gamers are mostly on the side of…
In case you’re unfamiliar with the Final Fantasy 14 community, recently, a mod named Mare Lamentorium—which had many thousands of users at its peak—was sent a cease & desist order. The mod in question allowed players to share their modded appearances with each other, either via an individual code, or by allowing players to join…
2014’s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will always be the game that made us “Press F to pay respects”, a weird moment of interactivity that undercut what was meant to be an emotional scene. Even when we’re all gone, the meme will live on. If there’s one other thing that you’ll probably remember about Sledgehammer’s…
Earlier this week, Final Fantasy 14 director and producer Naoki Yoshida unveiled the three Fan Fest dates for 2026: April for North America, July for Europe, and October for Japan. Those dates put the playerbase in a little bit of a tizzy—traditionally a new expansion comes around six months after the final Fan Fest, which…
