The race to make the next great extraction shooter continues apace. While Bungie takes its big swing with a Marathon revival, newer outfit Embark Studios has been quietly working on a competitor: Arc Raiders, a third-person PvPvE shooter with the bones of Escape From Tarkov, the approachability of Gears of War, and the keen architectural eye of Swedish game development.This time last year, Marathon was the presumptive representative for the...

Last year, I reviewed a new liquid cooler with a screen on it. It's called the Hyte Thicc Q60, and it comes with a 5-inch screen powered by an ARM chip and running Android. I had two main thoughts at the time: 'this is a novel idea' and 'this is absolutely ridiculous'. Little did I know that a year later, I'd be walking around the showfloor at Taiwan's top tech...

What came before the iPad baby? Well, with both parents working various IT systems jobs throughout my youth, in my case I was always destined to become a desktop gremlin. Hastening that descent were a number of games, but the accessibility of 3D Pinball for Windows – Space Cadet was the one that probably annoyed my folks the most.

Perhaps even more surprising are its co-op, rogue-like gameplay and procedurally generated worlds, aspects that most (if not all) of FromSoftware's games eschew.But that's what we've got, so if the thought of an Elden Ring 'Lite' appeals, you'll want to know how well it runs, yes? Especially given that...
