It's not often a GPU cooler design makes me do a double-take, but here we are. The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8G Cyclone OC has made my head involuntarily rotate for two reasons this morning—firstly, because it looks wildly different to what you might think of when it comes to graphics card designs, and two, because I saw a prototype version of this cooler at Computex with a screen in...

Borderlands 2 is free to keep on Steam until June 8, and if you think people are happy about that, well sir, you are wrong. They are in fact madder than hell, and they are expressing their displeasure in the time-honored way of gamers: With a good old-fashioned review bombing.Borderlands 2 is an older game, having come out in 2012, but it's also widely regarded as the best game in...
Path of Exile's whole thing is that it's an action RPG in the style of Diablo 2. It's extremely dense and filled with so many different items and skills that its most dedicated players do all their buildcrafting in a program outside the game. It's for the true sickos who feel left behind by all the modern games that try to simplify the genre. And even though developer Grinding Gear...

I remain a skeptic and a luddite, about both crypto and its new tech fabulist little brother, generative AI.I want to establish my hater bona fides straight up before I say that EVE Frontier is the lone crypto-associated game that has...

I hopped into a solo run to test it and, yeah, it totally works.The castle is always located in the...

I've got a few dozen Elden Ring Nightreign expeditions on the books, and it shouldn't surprise anyone when I say they haven't all been successes. Many of those failures have come agonizingly close to victory, where my team's Nightlord target survived by only a sliver of health—a sliver it probably wouldn't have had if we'd entered the arena with one or two more levels.Luckily, Nightreign players on Reddit have found...
