Dune: Awakening is a hit, but it's not without flaws. PvP in the deep desert is a particular issue for an awful lot of players, based on Reddit complaints, and you better believe that questions about Funcom's plans for it came up during an AMA held today on Reddit.There's little in the way of concrete information at this point, I'm sorry to say, as Funcom is still figuring out exactly...

For a chap atop one of the most high profile tech organisations on the planet, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's propensity, shall we say, to expatiate but not excogitate, is, well, remarkable. Sometimes, he really doesn't seem to think before he speaks.

XCOM 2 is one of the all-time greats—a nail-biting tactical strategy game that ruthlessly taught us all the difference between probability and certainty. Remember, missing on a 95% chance shot isn't impossible, it's just unlikely. It also happens all the goddamn time.As part of the GOG summer sale, you can snag XCOM 2 for around $2.40/£1.80—that's less than I pay for a big bag of crisps sometimes in the UK,...

If there's one thing to settle the perennial schoolyard "my dad's better than your dad" debate, it's the ability to make your gaming PC look like it's come straight out of Borderlands or a comic book. Which is exactly what Nathan, SuccessfulHost6375 on Reddit, did for his kids.I remember my first gaming PC case. It was silver, incredibly cheap, and had a giant plastic squiggle down the side of its...
