Valve Steam Deck designer, Lawrence Yang, regarding an SSD mod that came to light recently. We reported on the mod itself last week, which saw one Deck owner (Decker?) replace the original 2230-size SSD with a more readily available 2242-size drive. Yang responded via Twitter suggesting that the charge IC itself gets rather toasty and […]Read More
GeForce Now, and you can spec up a great virtual PC using Shadow (from $30 a month and limited states), but I decided to find out how much money and power I could be saving by comparing my desktop gaming PC to Google Stadia. I chose Stadia as it's the lowest-powered, and lowest cost, option. […]Read More
Vielight site says, as well as “enhance oxygenation and improve energy levels through increased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, perfect for anyone who wants to improve their wellness and health.” The Vielight research page cites published studies that suggest it could help people with Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons, and even traumatic brain injuries. That's pretty cool. Still, these press images […]Read More
Their Turok 2+ mod is designed for those after “an enhanced Turok 2 game experience” that doesn't stray too far from the original game's design decisions (thanks, DSOGaming). The mod is for Turok 2: Remastered by Night Dive Studios, and is one heck of an overhaul. (Image credit: Night Dive Studios) They may have actually […]Read More
There are rare few games done dirtier than Titanfall 2. Sequel to a risky new IP, doomed by a release sandwiched between Call of Duty and Battlefield, usurped by its own battle royale spin-off, and nigh-unplayable for the last year thanks to an absurd conspiracy of hackers and DDoS attacks, Titanfall 2 was perhaps always […]Read More
Steam Deck's Aerith APU to power a new range of budget gaming laptops it's codenamed AMD Mendocino. The Mendocino program, introduced during AMD's Computex keynote, is designed to create a new class of notebooks in the $399 – $599 category with unprecedented power and battery life. Okay, it's not the exact Steam Deck APU, but […]Read More
immersive sim over 20 years after its debut. A sprawling spy-fi adventure that offers multiple solutions (intended or otherwise) to almost every problem, and a surprisingly reactive story despite each playthrough taking you through all the same locations. Its grungy cyberpunk world—deep with urban decay even as mega-corporations rule and security robots patrol the streets—feels […]Read More
Richard Cobbett wrote Crapshoot, a column about rolling the dice to bring random games back into the light. This week, how many Mean Streets must a man walk down? In Tex Murphy's case… none. He has a flying car. The Tex Murphy series hasn't… uh… done well in PC Gamer over the years, but never […]Read More
best mini-ITX PC cases have cable routing as part of the design, sadly some do not. And that really doesn't help me. Because I am really, really bad at cable management. I will half-heartedly defend myself by saying that I spend too much time building, tweaking, and rebuilding different machines that nothing is ever really […]Read More
Prey, Arkane's absolutely fantastic sci-fi shooter from 2017, is free for the taking, all week long. I may be biased here, because I liked Prey a lot—enough that I would probably (no, definitely) have reversed the digits in our 79% review—but in my eyes, this is not one to be missed. It's an outstanding blend […]Read More
