I wasn't excited about the Battlefield 6 announcement because I didn't think my aging PC would run it well. But that's not the case at all: the Battlefield 6 minimum requirements are definitely manageable, and even the recommended specs aren't too crazy.If you're rocking the six-year-old RTX 2060 with an i5-8400, and have at least 16GB RAM—which is basically essential, nowadays—then you'll be able to play Battlefield 6, or so...
The essential core of the democratic process is voting. A free, fair vote is not just essential, it is sacrosanct: Without it, everything else collapses like a house of cards. And that's why it's so disheartening to know that there are those among us who would prey upon our delicate democracy and twist it to serve their own selfish purposes. That's right, I'm talking about Digimon fans.Luckily, just as there...
I still remember the very first time I tried Team Fortress Classic's VIP mode, which was also called The Hunted. I spawned into my first match and saw that instead of a gun I was holding an umbrella. I was the VIP! Hell, yes! But also: Oh, no!In TFC VIP, one player was the 10th class, the Civilian (because VIP and The Hunted weren't enough names for him, I guess),...
Battlefield 6 has made its debut, with Electronic Arts providing the first big look at its sprawling first-person shooter, including hands-on with its often-enormous multiplayer mode. I engaged the enemy across four of the nine maps Battlefield 6 will include at launch, which took us through a range of battles: from the vehicle-filled All-Out Warfare modes, to smaller, close-quarters battles. The franchise heads back to its roots with Battlefield 6,...
2K revealed the Mafia: The Old Country system requirements back in May, leading PC Gamer hardwaremeister James Bentley to suggest that it might be time for an upgrade if you're coming at it with a lower-end rig. Today we got a detailed breakdown of what the game will offer in the way of eye candy and what you'll need to enjoy it, including a new "Epic" specification that is, well,...
You might not think it from its cutesy miniaturised setting and charming characters, but Grounded 2 can be a hard game, especially at the start when you've got bugger all to fend off the park's most fearsome critters. And to start getting better equipment and materials, you need to somehow overcome those threats, like poisonous scorpions, hordes of spiders, gigantic cockroach queens, wolf spiders—the (horrifying) list goes on.To have any...
If you've braved the intense chill of the Ice Cream Cart in Grounded 2, then you might have stumbled upon either the Frostbitten Key or the locked chest itself that requires it. No matter which one you find first, it's not immediately obvious what you actually need to do with them.It doesn't help that the ice cream truck is freezing cold, causing you to be slowed and occasionally seize up...

The time of Baldur's Gate 3 patches is ended; now is the time of Baldur's Gate 3 hotfixes. God bless 'em, I don't think Larian will ever manage to stop tinkering with its masterpiece—today it returned to Faerûn with BG3's hotfix 33, bringing a smattering of fixes for bugs as diverse as crashes, broken game invites, the Dark Urge accidentally spoiling their whole deal, and weird character portraits. Maybe. That...
There's a lot to be said for the simple things in life. For a start, they're often cheap—and hardware doesn't come much cheaper than this Amazon Basics USB condenser microphone. You can pick up one of these teeny-tiny little units for a mere $26/£23 at Amazon, although it must be said, that's the sort of price that makes me eye any piece of audio gear with suspicion.Opening the packaging, however,...
