World’s thinnest silicon material could lead to faster significantly faster computer chips It’s not quite the Holy Grail of computing, though the creation of a silicene transistor has researchers at The University of Texas at Austin’s Cockrell School of Engineering giddy because it’s never been done before. In fact, human-made silicene was just a theoretical…
The death of BioWare has provoked a whole lot of tributes, memorialisation, and plain old nostalgia as all sorts of people come together to remember the bangers the erstwhile king of RPGs put out in its prime. CD Projekt Red, imsim founding father Warren Spector, and we here at PCG have all been trading BioWare…
It’s kind of amazing how Vermintide 2, Fatshark’s medieval-fantasy pest control sim from 2018, continues to be neck-and-neck in popularity with its far more recent 40k successor Darktide. A big part of that is that there just seems to be a lot more scope within its design for super-fun updates. Case in point: you can…
“The work that the EA Canada people did was f**king insane”. 2023 is a milestone year for the FIFA series, marking the 30th anniversary of the original title, FIFA International Soccer for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. So we felt it was worth taking a trip down memory lane to look back at how the iconic…
One debate that has been swirling around Arc Raiders for some time now involves Free Loadouts, whether they should exist at all, be nerfed, or sentenced to always join matches late as penance for not putting anything of worth on the line. But I really don’t think any of these solutions are viable options. Issues…
Over the last few months we’ve seen the EU ramp up its efforts to tackle the possible harms of the online landscape, whether that’s the threats that AI poses or threats to minors. On the latter point, gacha and Overwatch gamers need to batten down the hatches because it looks like the political bloc might…
I’m not sure I’ve come across a lockpicking minigame that feels quite as brutal as the one in Gothic Remake, especially when you’re untrained. I guess it’s probably quite similar to how it would feel if I gave you a lockpick and asked you to open a locked chest in real life (assuming you’re not…
It’s received the same score as Mario Wonder. It’s the end of the week and that means more new game releases for the Switch! Today we’ve got Square Enix’s newest Dragon Quest spin-off, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince. The first review by Japanese publication Famitsu has now rolled in and the game’s got near-perfect…
We’d be fools to expect much talk of desktop chips at the ‘Advancing AI’ event, but we can always grab pinches of salt and attempt to infer what talk about server chips might mean for desktop. To that end, I’d say (tentatively) that what AMD has revealed about its upcoming Zen 6-based ‘Venice’ server processor…
While development on the Horizon Zero Dawn expansion The Frozen Wilds is in full swing, we’re still finding time to add improvements to the main game. Last month’s Patch 1.30 added a new difficulty setting called ‘Ultra Hard’ which, as the name suggests, provides a greater challenge for hardcore Horizon Zero Dawn players. Today’s patch…
