One of our favourite last-gen handheld PCs is getting a Ryzen AI HX 370 upgrade and a native landscape display
Portable PC gaming has to be one of the coolest innovations in the space in recent years. Valve’s own Steam Deck and other similar Switch form factor gaming PCs are becoming huge business, and there’s plenty of competition keeping the space fresh. One such competitor was the AOKZOE A1 Pro, which impressed us with its…
Here are the best gaming rig deals you can get for the measly cost of an Nvidia RTX 5090
The Nvidia RTX 5090 is the graphics card company’s big shiny new toy and, packed with 21,760 CUDA cores and taking up to 575 watts worth of power, it’s a bit of a beast. However, it’s also an expensive beast at $1,999, and that’s if you can even get your hands on one when it…

The Witcher 3 devs had to practically remake the game engine to make official modding possible
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is still going. Nearly 10 years into its life, The Witcher 3 remains a popular canvas for modders adding new quests and locations, custom gameplay tuning, and the occasional oddity like Geralt on ice skates. For most of the last decade the mod scene had no official support from CD…
If you’ve been putting off Rogue Trader until patches and DLC make it better, now’s finally the time to jump in
If playing Owlcat’s CRPGs at launch is a mug’s game then fill me up with coffee I guess, because I keep doing it in spite of their issues. It’s not just that they’re buggy, though that’s definitely part of the problem. My first experience of Rogue Trader was marred by the fact I lost 18…
24 Percent Of Gen Z Brits Own A Classic Gaming System, While 74 Percent Say Retro Is “More Relaxing”
The old ones are the best. Following hot on the heels of a report which claims that 14 percent of North Americans still play on gaming systems released before 2000, a new study has revealed that 24 percent of ‘Gen Z’ (people aged between 13 and 28) own a classic gaming platform (thanks, Metro). For…
Payday 3 dev says it’s making ‘a bunch of changes’ to the game’s detested progression system 9 days after saying it had no plans to do so
Payday 3 has had, shall we say, a rough launch, and one of the main sources of player protest has been its progression system. Heisters just aren’t thrilled that your infamy points—the things you accrue to unlock new weapons, cosmetics, and what have you—are tied exclusively to the game’s challenges. It can mean that players…
After a decade of delays, Defenders Quest 2 is finally out, bringing with it wild character designs and nostalgic tower defense shenanigans
The first thought that popped into my head upon dipping my toes into Defender’s Quest 2: Mists of Ruin is that they don’t make tower defense games like this anymore. The second thought was that my tea was suddenly stone cold and that the past four hours had mysteriously disappeared. This is pure videogame comfort…
Elgato 4K S review
The times have changed since begging my mum to buy me an AverMedia capture card because it was the only one that would work without a dedicated PC. PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PCs (assuming you have Windows) all have built-in DVRs, and they’re all rather good. This has meant that, for a casual creator or…
