"Final Fantasy 7 PC" is not an immediately intuitive combination of numbers and letters. Am I talking about the old trapezoid box version released in 1998? Or the "remaster" re-released in 2013? Or the first in the trilogy of remakes released nearly a decade later? Calling the 1998 version the "original" just makes things more confusing, since it isn't exactly the same as the PlayStation game released the year before....

(Image credit: Bulkhead)How bad is the Blue team in Wardogs? We scored 1 point. I have never seen a score this low until this moment, and of course it was Blue. I've seen enough to accept that Blue team is cursed, and I think it has more to do with experienced players actively avoiding the color than anything else. Winning isn't really important in Wardogs, so it's not a big...

Los Santos CustomsI'm modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely. Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I've done to Rockstar's baby, or check out what I got up to earlier.Can a game go on life support? Can it begin, in its dotage, to show signs of the ailment that everyone...

XThat the quest 'Family Matters' stands out as the best quest in The Witcher 3—a game filled with great storytelling and characters—is a true testament to the skill of its creators. That's why it's so exciting that one of the main forces behind it, writer Karolina Stachyra, has returned to CD Projekt after a decade away.Stachyra's LinkedIn profile indicates that she's been working with the studio as a freelance consultant...

I am very excited at the prospect of an Arc Raiders PvE-only mode. I have been ever since I got a tiny taste of what it could be like in Shared Watch, and even before that while playing in friendly lobbies. I know some aren't happy at the prospect of a mode with no PvP, but the only thing I can't believe is that Embark hasn't made this change sooner....

(Image credit: Ted Litchfield)Taking some time here on the PC Gamer Hyperfeed™ to praise my favorite hardware purchase of the past year and go-to gamepad for the foreseeable future, the Steam Controller.I love its responsiveness, ergonomics, looks, ease of use, battery life, all of it. I'm not usually much of a paddle button user, but being able to map screenshot to R4 has been a real game-changer for me. Goose...

I'm more hyped for Thief: The Dark Project Remastered than any new game coming out in the rest of the year(Image credit: Fox)

Over on Tiktok, Mark Darrah was asked, "If you could go back in time what would you remove from each of the Dragon Age games and what would you add?"Like everyone who ever installed the Skip the Fade mod for Dragon Age: Origins, Darrah thinks the Lost in Dreams quest needs a snip. "I would be tempted to cut or dramatically reduce the dream sequence part from the Mage Tower,"...

I've always been content to admire the Dark Souls games from afar, rather than get particularly into them myself, and part of that is probably a crumb of leftover resentment from trying to wrangle the multiplayer features in those early games. Love it or hate it, it's esoteric at the best of times and not terribly consistent. If you've a mind to mod those annoyances out of Dark Souls 2,...

Gears of War: E-Day is almost here, but that doesn't mean its developers have been spared in Microsoft's latest wave of layoffs as part of the Xbox "reset." While The Coalition, the studio currently working on the Gears of War series, was not mentioned by name in Matt Booty's "Continuing Our Reset" blog post, story director Juan Vaca announced on LinkedIn that he is now looking for work."I am part...
