My God, they've done it. We're finally in the era when videogame movies can actually be good. Not just good for a videogame movie, or "It's good, but here are 50 caveats." It's simply brilliant. And Resi's lovably feckless protagonist Bryan is the primary reason. But before I dive in, I need to warn you about something. Yep, this is going to be spoiler city. Spoilers for days, folks!

We've become the Nerevarine and defeated Dagoth Ur. We've foiled Mehrunes Dagon and closed the Oblivion gates. We've destroyed Alduin and absorbed his soul. We've bought horse armor, stolen an Elder Scroll, and even once pickpocked a note from the butt of a fully-dressed assassin without him noticing.In other words, we've done it all, and with a combined 2,500+ hours across the series, five PC Gamer editors have come together...
I peaked at 16 years old. I was part way through an expert run of 'Through the Fire and the Flames' by Dragonforce on Guitar Hero 3 at a friend's house for their birthday, and I remember thinking to myself, 'I don't think I'll ever top this'.

IDC Research has released its figures regarding worldwide PC shipments in the third quarter of 2026, and would you believe it, they've dropped considerably. Looking at the year-over-year numbers, the shipped units dropped from 78.5 million in Q3 2025, to 62.7 million in Q3 of this year. That's a 20.1% plummet, for percentage fans.But why, I hear you asking. Actually, I don't. The memory and supply chain crisis, driven by...
One of the great things about videogame conventions is there are always people up for playing a local multiplayer game, just waiting to be handed controls and thrown into a new experience. Which is how, at PAX Australia over the weekend, I found myself playing a game called Bumper Bout. It immediately impressed me with its concept, and then as I played a few rounds of it, with how it...

Facepunch Studios' game creation platform's launch in April was met with a swarm of negative reviews, complaints of AI slop filling its user-generated game collection, and swiftly plummeting user numbers.Now creator Garry Newman is reversing course on some of his decisions, such as pivoting to a 'greenlight type system' for user-generated games and announcing...
