Nvidia’s DLSS has been a boon for those of us who hang on to old GPUs for longer than game developers want to support them, but a problem with AI upscaling is that its inferences subtly alter the look of games. With DLSS 5, Nvidia has dropped the subtlety and made overwriting the original graphics…
Last week, we asked you to turn to the dark side and share devilishly demonic characters from your favorite games using #PS4share and #PSBlog. From horned dark elves to flying monsters, here are this week’s highlights: BBuradori shared a horned Dark Elf Lord in God of War. JRPyznar shared colorful demon from MediEvil. Philt43_Yewone shared…
Previously, I’ve looked on in befuddlement at Lenovo’s many bizarre experiments. From pivoting laptop screens to long, long OLED concept machines, they’re not necessarily practical, but they are different, I suppose. Credit where credit is due to the Hong Kong-based company, though, its solar-powered laptop that can turn 20 minutes of sunlight into an hour…
Room service. Hotel Dusk: Room 215 has racked up quite the cult following over the years. This Nintendo-published text-based adventure first arrived on the DS back in 2007 and received a sequel, Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, three years later before developer Cing bit the dust after declaring for bankruptcy. Things have, naturally,…
World of Warcraft’s controversial battle royale mode relaunched a week ago, once again pitting PvE mount and transmog collectors against hardcore PvP enjoyers. And this time around… almost no one is complaining. Blizzard made some smart changes to the way its pirate-themed Plunderstorm worked.

Earlier today I reported that Chinese memory makers, such as CXMT, are ramping up their production big time, and are set to run hot on the heels of Micron in output even by the end of this year. But hold up, don’t get too excited, because the same research that produced those figures also predicts…
DDR5 memory speeds continue to climb upwards. Gone are the days of motherboards struggling to hit DDR5-6400. Nowadays, four-slot Z790 refresh motherboards are capable of supporting 8000MHz+, and even AMD’s Ryzen 7000-series CPUs are able to hit such speeds with the latest BIOS updates. Now that motherboards and CPUs are capable of running at these…
The latest issue of Japanese Nintendo magazine Nintendo Dream is now in subscribers hands. Each and every month they quiz their vast reader base to find out which upcoming titles they are looking forward to the most.

Jacob Fox, hardware writer (Image credit: Future) This week: I’ve been, believe it or not, testing some new lightweight gaming mice. I’ve been pretty exclusively using lightweight wireless gaming mice for the last few years, so I’m always surprised by how many people are still sceptical. Over the years, I’ve seen the scepticism from comments…
Amnesia: The Bunker is a little like Alien: Isolation in that, every so often, you just have to take a break. Well, I did. This claustrophobic, tricksy and often outright terrifying survival horror is the fourth in Frictional Games’ series, first released in 2023, and if you ask me is the best of the bunch….
