As a long-time fan of the Call of Duty Zombies series, I’m dying to get my mitts on Descent, the third Call of Duty: Black Ops III DLC pack launching tomorrow on PS4. Based on what we’ve seen so far, Treyarch is going gonzo with the latest addition to the Zombies saga in a new…
I’ve spent the last 14 years surprised that more games haven’t stolen the central gimmick to 2012’s Fez. A 2D world that you can rotate like a 3D object to find hidden secrets is the kind of trick that never gets old. But the Fez-like era never really happened and I’ve been left to wonder…
It’s strange to think that first-person shooters—and arguably the PC’s arrival as a major gaming platform—emerged from an attempt to create the PC’s equivalent of Super Mario Bros 3. John Carmack’s reproduction of the smooth scrolling effect seen in Nintendo’s platformer ultimately led to the founding of id Software and the creation of Commander Keen….
Less than 24 hours since its release, Overwatch 2’s latest season has ignited angry Reddit threads and TikTok comments from fans who are unhappy with the value of its paid hero skins. Most of the criticisms target the $40 Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle which includes two highly-anticipated Diablo-themed skins: Lilith Moira and Inarius Pharah. The…
Many PC hardware manufacturers were hit pretty hard by the announcement of Trump’s sky-high tariffs on goods imported into the US from around the world back in April. Hyte among them. The case company delayed orders and diverted shipments to other regions, with some prices for stocked products increasing for US customers. Well, that’s mostly…

For a long time, PC gamers fitting an SSD to their rig would have used a 2.5-inch drive with a SATA interface. The best one to get was a Crucial MX500 and it was so good that it topped the charts for almost seven years. However, all good things must eventually end, and parent company…
The Fallen Angels / Daraku Tenshi has never been ported previously. The Polymega is getting two new collections, it has been revealed. Both are available for order from the Polymega web store. Polymega Collection 17: Gunbird leads with both of Psikyo’s Gunbird titles, but features seven additional titles. Read the full article on timeextension.com The…
With the Nvidia RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launching next week, many potential buyers have been eyeing up the more budget-oriented (okay, they’re still going to be quite expensive) cards from the 50 series and we could potentially get them as soon as February 20.

“We can make it work for you”. It’s fair to say that Switch 2 Game-Key Cards haven’t gone down all that well with consumers.
