Still, if you want to stand at the pinnacle of mech-based competitive play (in this game at least), you'll have to grind your way up a lot of ranks in order to reach the top.One way of ensuring some success is choosing one of the best Strikers to take...

If you've spent the better part of $1,000 on a high-end VR headset and perhaps the same again on a graphics card, you'd be pretty frustrated to find it didn't work properly on your Linux gaming rig.Imagine how you'd feel if the problems continued for more than a year. That's been the exact situation for some Bigscreen Beyond owners, but the end is nearly in sight, as Nvidia promises a...

Working out how to change character in a free-to-play game like Mecha Break is always a challenge, as you walk the fine line between what you get for free and what they want you to pay for. Sadly, Mecha Break is pretty stingy in terms of character cosmetics—you'll be able to customize your character's base appearance, but beyond that, you'll have to shell out real cash to unlock outfits or...

The sales results from one retailer can't be used to judge the success of a product across the globe, but if those from German retailer Mindfactory are anything to go by, it would seem that PC gamers have really had enough of 8 GB graphics cards. So much so, they're willing to pay an extra €70 ($82) just to have the doubled VRAM version of the RTX 5060 Ti.When Nvidia...

I remember it well. Four years ago my friends and I were gearing up for the annual Minecraft Live broadcast, excited to see what the big update theme would be this year, but primarily concerned with one thing: The Minecraft mob vote.Back in 2021, the vote was between three mobs, the allay, the copper golem, and the glare.

After the rush of Summer Game Fest, June is a bit of a blur. And while the annual showing didn't have much to tease for July—the biggest games mostly set their sights on 2026—there's still plenty to tide you over. Not that some of us even need more games to add to the pile. My backlog spiraled out of control again somewhere between the last Baldur's Gate 3 update and...

Tyler Wilde, US EIC(Image credit: Future)This week: Enjoyed reading about Chris' zombie diagnosis adventures, listened to Sneaks - Look Like That (Ugo Banchi Remix).PC gaming's blowout sales are a highlight of the platform, but they do complicate the decision to buy a new game. Before dropping $60 or more, you've got to consider that unless the new game you're buying turns out to be a smash hit, it'll probably be...

MORGAN PARK, STAFF WRITER(Image credit: Future)This week: Tinkered with emulation on his Steam Deck, which was surprisingly easier than thinking of classics he cares to replay. Watched 28 Years Later around 14 days after watching 28 Days Later.Last night, I set off on my longest delivery yet in Death Stranding 2. I was to cross the entire chunk of Australia I'd discovered so far, weaving past bandit camps, over rivers,...

Earlier today, Bungie broadcast its final showcase ahead of the July 15 release of Destiny 2's Edge of Fate expansion. Largely it was the expected run though of new features like World Tiers and The Portal, the latter being a revamped homescreen that groups together the most relevant activities in the game and enables players to tweak their difficulty (and therefore loot).The devs did make mention of a new horde-mode...
