YouTube channel Hardware Busters claims it purchased what looked like an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU from Amazon for processor testing purposes. Good for them! Upon opening the box, however, a few things stood out. One, it wasn’t the correct socket and heatspreader design for an AM5 chip, and two, an eagle-eyed viewer noticed that…
I’ve always had a soft spot for Bond villain simulator Evil Genius, a spiritual successor to the Dungeon Keeper series that amped-up the cackling charm and packed-in more spy cliches than you could shake a vodka martini at. The original game released in 2004 before a Facebook spin-off, then the mobile title Evil Genius: Online,…
The Asus ROG Swift PG27UCDM is the brand’s self-proclaimed “world’s first” of its kind—a 27-inch 4K OLED panel with a 240 Hz refresh rate. The irony isn’t lost on me that our own Jeremy published his review of the MSI MPG272URX before this one, but that’s neither here nor there. Suffice it to say, this…

If you want to stock up on Gold, Original Pop Cans (FragPunk’s loot boxes), stickers, and more of FragPunk’s endless, honestly confusing list of collectibles and currencies without putting in the hours, then you’ll need to redeem FragPunk codes. These codes are a great way of getting free goodies in the stylish hero shooter, and…
The Forever Winter—the brutal early access extraction shooter that pits puny scavengers against armies of androids and building-sized mechs—has just released a huge change to its important but contentious water system. OK, here’s the skinny: The Forever Winter tasks you and your squad of fellow scavengers with sneaking through the battlefields of a ruined future…
It brings me no pleasure to announce that Intuitive Machine’s Athena Moon lander has been declared dead. An ex-Moon lander. Ceased to be, bereft of life, and joined the choir invisible. Onboard was a miniature data center provided by Lonestar, complete with a Phison enterprise-grade SSD. And on that SSD, as we’ve learned from a…
It’s Old Father Time here—big beard, robes, clock fetish—spreading the harrowing news that Cities: Skylines is already a whole decade old. 2015 was, it turns out, actually quite a while ago, and not just the other day. Awful stuff. Naturally, Paradox and Colossal Order are not letting this milestone pass without notice. A celebration is…
Atelier, a Japanese RPG series, is—as you might expect—filled with conventionally attractive anime people. An upcoming entrant in the series, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land, is no exception—and it has big shoes to fill. See, the game’s past protagonist, Ryza, made waves among its fanbase due to having body fat…
Towards the end of the new ten-minute (!) long trailer for Death Stranding 2, Hideo Kojima decides to throw the crowd some red meat. The footage has by this point established new character Neil, played by Italian actor Luca Marinelli, as what looks like Death Stranding 2’s version of Cliff (Mads Mikkelson): someone forced into…
