Asus has been at pains to make clear that it was making the ROG Ally handheld gaming PC long before Valve launched its Steam Deck. Sure, it’s an AMD-powered PC console, just like Valve made, but Asus has released an image of a selection of different prototype models from the five years of iteration before settling on the Ally design. Just like Valve released.

The company has just unveiled…

If you’ve been playing Alan Wake 2 you may have noticed just how pretty that game is. I’d go as far to say it’s the best looking videogame of 2023. Developer Remedy has done incredibly well to make what could’ve been a very dull and dark world look vibrant and detailed, and has since divulged what’s actually going on behind the scenes in the Northlight engine to achieve it. And boy, it…

As revealed in the Summer Game Fest’s Day of the Devs presentation, the offbeat game collection UFO 50 is finally coming out on September 18.

I get the concept behind the way Bethesda designed Starfield’s food items. In the year 2330, humanity has become a spacefaring species, blasting across the galaxy in spaceships—and just as people are sealed inside spacesuits for protection, food is kept inside clear little plastic containers.

But there’s something unsatisfying about seeing a tasty chicken tikka, some crispy alien nu…

More Reactive Companions is one of those mods that just makes sense: it takes a huge reserve of background dialogue lines already present in Baldur’s Gate 3 but exclusive to origin characters, and repurposes them as companion banter.

The fact that Baldur’s Gate 3 lets you play as any of its companions instead of a custom blank slate is sick, but I think most of us are rol…

Call of Duty has no greater a flex than the tactical nuke. Back in 2009’s Modern Warfare 2, the nuke was a killstreak that could only be earned by putting down 25 kills without dying. Triggering a nuke immediately ends the match in your favor, kinda like grabbing the golden snitch in Quidditch, but with skin-melting radiation. It took less than a week for players to figure out how Infinity Ward…

Palworld is an edgy game—more in implication than reality. While it’s grown a reputation for a Happy Tree Friends-style subversiveness, everything in its world is pretty sanitised. For instance: Pals eat human cadavers, but they just peck at them until they vanish. 

The whole game feels like a send-up of Pokémon’s simmering ‘it’s messed up if you thi…

Looks like Microsoft will soon let us rid our Windows 11 PCs of the Microsoft Teams Chat feature, which is currently impossible to uninstall. Microsoft appears to be reacting to concerns over a potential antitrust investigation from the European Commission, after complaints were made by several companies over Teams being just too damn prevalent.

We’ve all been subject to bloatware. For co…
