Bilibili hardware channel 51972 has released a video detailing benchmarking comparisons of 22 different models of the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and came to a slightly troubling conclusion—the variants making use of Samsung GDDR6 memory chips are slightly slower when compared to their older, SK Hynix-equipped cousins.How much slower? By, err, 2.6% on average. Granted, it's not exactly a massive difference, but it's still a little disappointing to know...
To say that I had absolutely no idea what was going on the first time I played Mio: Memories in Orbit is probably an understatement. I was far too busy admiring and exploring the beautiful if slightly creepy landscape to pay much attention to any greater goal. But after getting smacked around by a couple of robots I came to my senses.You play as Mio in this metroidvania, who has...
RuneScape players haven't relented since news broke a few days ago that new Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy—also known in-community as Mod North—was effectively killing off Pride Month celebrations in RuneScape and Old School RuneScape (OSRS) in order to "ensure the business is protected against those that would wish us harm."Speaking to staff, Bellamy said that Pride content was "controversial in a way it didn’t used to be and that controversy...
Up front disclosure: I'm a sucker for 34-inch ultrawide monitors, I reckon they're still the sweetspot for sensible-money gaming. With that in mind, you'd think Alienware's newly updated 34-inch ultrawide OLED monitor, the Alienware 34 AW3425DW, is odds on for a very high score.After all, we loved the OG Alienware 34-inch ultrawide, the Alienware 34 AW3423DW. Its lower priced sibling, the Alienware 34 AW3423DWF, was even better thanks to a...
Coraline, the debut feature of the stop-motion studio Laika, was a modest hit in 2009, earning just over $75 million in the U.S.. But over the years, the macabre coming-of-age tale earned cult status, and when Fathom Events put it back in theaters last summer, it made another $33 million — a total that’s basically unheard of for most modern re-releases. So it’s no surprise that Laika is hoping a...
Under the leadership of the late, great Satoru Iwata, Nintendo shunned the technology arms race of Sony, Microsoft, and the rest of the video game business, and pursued a series of wild experiments that worked out brilliantly (Wii, DS) more often than not (Wii U). Iwata’s final innovation, realized after his untimely death, was to combine the company’s handheld and home console businesses into a single device — 2017’s Switch....
It's great that so many PlayStation games have come to PC in the last few years, letting me stack a heap of extra big-budget videogame junk food on my pile of shame. Welcome to the backlog, Horizon Zero Dawn. These games haven't always set the Steam top sellers list on fire, however, sometimes thanks to a marketing budget you'd have to squint to see. How many people even knew Marvel's...

Not only can you see them in the sidebar beneath the controller support section for selected games, you can also search the store by individual accessibility features."This update comes after gathering valuable feedback from developers as well as players with disabilities," Valve says in its blog post announcing the...
Dune: Awakening has a comprehensive base-building policy that goes something like this:Build a base wherever you want.That's pretty much the entire policy.There are restrictions, of course: build too far out on the sand and a sandworm will show up and eat a hunk of your base—with you in it, if you're not careful. And you can't build within a certain radius of an established location like a tradepost or faction...
