Former PC Gamer writers have gone on to do amazing things: Pen Star Wars movies, sell millions of extremely good videogames, and, maybe, save the internet? I exaggerate slightly, but tech writer Corbin Davenport released a tool last week called Just the Browser that offers the faintest glimmer of light in this AI abyss we…
Over the last several weeks, we’ve taken a close look at several network attached storage (NAS) units from QNAP and Synology, including the Synology DiskStation DS2415+ and the QNAP TurboNAS TS-451. NAS storage solutions typically play host to more than one hard drive and have access to the local network. They resemble small, boxy PCs,…
If there’s one thing that Marvel Rivals unequivocally does right, it’s putting together a strong hero roster. There’s a cute shark, a K-pop idol, Norse gods, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers we all know and love, and many more. Despite all these great characters, Marvel Rivals has one big issue with its roster: over half…
Tigers and sharks, living together. Toaplan’s Tiger-Heli made quite the impact when it arrived in arcades in 1985. Created by the core team of Masahiro Yuge, Tatsuya Uemura, and Yuichirō Nozawa, it was one of the first games to make use of a screen-clearing bomb and was commercially successful thanks to its intense challenge and…
Unlocking Inferno, Serenith, and Stellaris in Mecha Break isn’t quite as simple as spending currency and grabbing them from the Striker menu. These three mechs are part of the Season 0 – Rain of Fire Matrix Contract, i.e. the battlepass. The good news is that you can get these new mechs, or Strikers as the…
Where does the time go? It seems an almost impossible notion to consider, but with the Nintendo Switch celebrating its eighth birthday today, it’s now merely two years away from being a decade old. A decade. That’s simply absurd. It would be oh-so easy to remark on how the console is an ageing relic at…
These days, the only time I recapture the sheer rush of Steam sales of olde (“I can buy every Quake game for £5? I’d be a fool not to!”) is when I find one of those ‘complete your collection’ sets some games have. You know the ones: they combine a bunch of games in a…
In case there was any doubt (and there really shouldn’t be at this point), the Steam Deck is a major hit. Speaking to The Verge, designers Lawrence Yang and Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve’s handheld gaming PC has now sold “multiple millions” of units. Prior to the Steam Deck, Valve hadn’t had great luck on the…
Who do SKU think you’re kidding? An Emmy award-winning audio engineer has taken to social media in order to call out his local GameStop store, which he claims has been attempting to force expensive Switch 2 bundles on its customers in an attempt to cash in on the high demand for the console in the…
The legendary Super Nintendo Entertainment System is 35 years old and still a mainstay in every classic gamer’s heart. It’s also much beloved by the speedrunning community, which has found itself in a bit of a quandary recently—as it seems the elderly console might run slightly faster as it ages. That’s according to 404 Media,…
