If you've got enough money in your pocket to buy a Double Whopper combo but you're not feeling especially hungry right now, I've got a good alternative plan for getting rid of it: Humble Bundle's "Play the Legends" collection of Warner Bros. games, which includes 16 really good games (well, 15, plus Suicide Squad) for just $12.Okay, first things first, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League isn't bad, really, it's...
You'll find missing optical disk locations around Brookhollow Park in Grounded 2; they'll be marked on your map almost right away. Since you're told where to look, you'd think they'd be easy to find, but they're missing for a reason.In fact, the map markers can be somewhat misleading, as grabbing the missing optical disks generally involves delving into some pretty scary caves, only accessible far from the marker. So make...
In its latest Q2 financial report, AMD had good news for investors and fans of Radeon graphics cards. Gaming revenue was up 73% compared to this time last year, and no small part of this has been down to the success of the RX 9000-series of graphics cards. So much so, that in an earnings call, AMD's CEO Dr Lisa Su confirmed that demand was "very strong" and "outpaced supply."Of...
Die-hard Windows XP fans rejoice, your footwear of choice has arrived. Microsoft has launched special anniversary edition Windows XP-themed Crocs. Yes, that's Crocs as in the famously ugly foam clogs. And, yes, these special edition versions have been plastered liberally with an XP-inspired colourway.That, of course, means they've been fitted up with the iconic Bliss wallpaper. The top of the Crocs have been Blissed out with fluffy white clouds and...
It's 3 am. You can't sleep. You're tossing and turning because you simply must speak to your MP to ask them what their favourite crisp flavour is. Or if they'd be up for reintroducing the death penalty. Or how they feel about the many pointless uses of AI that are being foisted upon us.Good news! Your MP might be asleep, but an unnerving homunculus pretending to be Mark Sewards, MP...
Some facts about videogame canon you wish you could scrub not just from the internet, but your very own mind. Unfortunately, I am burdened with the unenviable task of informing you of things that are true, and it is apparently very much true that a bunch of well-paid Americans, sitting around a room, had the fleeting thought: What if we gave Pikachu a heaving bosom.It's an old anecdote, over two...
Cute games: they're cute. Sometimes they're extremely cute. Once in a while they even have the word "cute" in their title, like Gemporium: A Cute Mining Sim. With a name like that, I thought, it's probably just a breezy little game where you dig up gems.And it is. At first. As an industrious little mole in Gemporium, I've just inherited a cozy home and gemshop from my dearly departed grandmole,...
In Pacific Drive you develop a relationship with your car like the classic bad relationship you have with a person in your 20s: "I can fix them." Only you're right, because it's a car and not an unemployed stoner who is sort of in a band sometimes.At the end of every trip into the Zone I'd repair that rustbucket and upgrade it, but never fix that one weird thing it...
I found myself in need of new speakers for my PC a while back, and on the advice of PC Gamer I went out and picked up a set of Logitech Z407s. And they're good! Except for one minor thing that occasionally makes me want to smash them into small pieces with a hammer.See, the goddamn things will not stop going to sleep. It's not a defect or a user...
For my money, Metal Gear Solid 5 remains the watermark for open world action games thanks to its excellent espionage toybox, its mercenary company management systems, and the timeless satisfaction of abducting enemy combatants with a little balloon. 10 years after its launch, it just got even better thanks to Dynamite, a functioning two-player MGS5 co-op mod from modder unknown321.According to a lengthy "Making Of" memoir included in the Dynamite...
