Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 is a good game. I said it and I stand by it. Its biggest problem, as PC Gamer’s Toreador-in-the-streets, Venture-in-the-sheets Joshua Wolens so accurately put it, is the title: Calling it Bloodlines 2, rather than anything else that would safely distance it from the legendary original, was a massive self-inflicted…
Monster Hunter Wilds is going through the wringer at the moment—and while it’s addressing some issues, namely its initially thin endgame content loop, it’s still clunking along through some major performance woes in PC. Woes which, at the time of writing, won’t be fully addressed to the end of the year. But the major obstacle’s…
Earlier this year, we traveled to Amsterdam to talk to Guerrilla’s audio team about the importance of sound in Horizon Zero Dawn and the ways the game makes use of 3D audio technology built into the Platinum Wireless Headset.

My least favourite challenge in Forza Horizon 6 right now is by far the Floor It! task, which requires you to earn three Great Speed Skills in Horizon Racing. There’s a similar challenge in the Gazoo Racer weekly challenge, where you need to earn six Speed Skills in the 2022 Toyota GR86. As annoying as…
TSMC, the world’s biggest chip maker, could potentially be on the hook for $1 billion or more according to Reuters which cites “two people familiar with the matter… who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.” And although $1 billion isn’t make-or-break for TSMC, it’s hardly chump change, either….
I’m never going back. Look, I tried to be normal about PC pointers, I really did. I bought regular mice, the sort whose most exciting feature was their grey scroll wheel, hoping their budget blandness would help me forget the discomfort I was fighting with. I ordered fancy ones with little customisable weights and adjustable…
I’ll be the first person to admit that my computer simulated Super Bowl predictions haven’t been all that accurate. Despite predicting multiple raccoon attacks in Super Bowl LV, there were none (reported). Tom Brady didn’t dunk a bowling ball through a basketball hoop in 2019’s Super Bowl despite my computer projecting that he would, several…
Ever since the advent of digital distribution (which despite what some may think, does pre-date Steam), gamers have worried about ownership of their games. Time was that this sense of unease was mixed-up with an understandable nostalgia for physical media, that comforting sense of having the disc and always owning the game, but as the…

You may think that you need to keep gaming as a tightly restricted hobby, something you pull out only once in a while to avoid losing yourself in the game. This is far from the truth. While limits on actual playing (particularly if you’re playing online casino games) are essential, the fact is you can…
