The new Skate game has been a bit of a weird one—EA’s first free-to-play foray with the series, one that currently sits at a 66% ‘Mixed’ rating on Steam. No Steam Deck compatibility thanks to Easy Anti-Cheat and a subpar open world seem to be the biggest culprits, according to the 33,000 user reviews. ‘Fun…
Hapless American tourist George Stobbart is back again (again), with Revolution Software celebrating the success of its 2024 remaster by remastering Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror. If you missed it the first time around (perhaps because you weren’t born in 1997), then you’re in for a treat. George and French journalist Nico Collard say…
Starfinder: Afterlight launched its Kickstarter today—and let me tell you, I am actually extremely excited for this game. Sure, I’m now officially one of those annoying Pathfinder 2e guys who will tell you about how good the three-action system is (no but really, it’s better), but Afterlight is actually shaping up really nicely so far….
Almost one year on from its first-ever PC case, Havn has returned with something new. The Havn BF 360 isn’t quite as flashy as its bigger sibling, the HS 420, but it’s every bit as brilliant. The Havn BF 360 is available in either black or white, and I was fortunate to be able to…
I should probably preface this piece by saying, for the record, that I am not a pro-gamer. I’m not even close. I’m certainly no twitch gamer, either, not by a long shot. No level of PC gaming hardware will be enough to change the fact that I absolutely suck at competitive first-person shooters. Even when…
TCL has a new 27-inch 4K gaming panel out (via Notebookcheck), the TCL 27R94 QD-MiniLED Monitor, and you might just need a pair of shades to game with it. That’s a teensy exaggeration, of course, but with a peak brightness of 1,600 nits, this is certainly one of the very punchiest gaming panels we’ve yet…
As someone who’s been to a whole bunch of fighting game tournaments over the years, I thought I’d seen it all—Beyblade battles, best-dressed contests, real-life tier lists taking place on giant velcro-laden whiteboards, pro players taking their shirts off for money—but a woman absolutely bossing a Mortal Kombat 1 tournament mere days after giving birth,…
It’s a pretty great time for lovers of historical fiction in their videogames. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a banger. I understand those PlayStation folks are enjoying Ghost of Yotei (assuredly PC-bound at some point). Games like Manor Lords, or Hunt: Showdown, or good ol’ Crusader Kings also let us live out our dreams of…
It’s been apparent for some time now that Battlefield 6 is ready to break the internet, eat Call of Duty’s lunch, and somehow revitalise the love of military FPS multiplayer shooters all in one go. It’s a feat that most had deemed impossible, but Battlefield Studios will hopefully pull it off regardless, thanks in no…
Word has spread about Arc Raiders’ censorship across EA and Activision. It may sound weird, but during the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 beta, players who typed ‘Arc Raiders‘ in chat were met with a starred version as if they had just uttered the worst phrase known to man. I decided to check this…
