The story of Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is an interesting one. Today it released a free, standalone “companion” to the game called Where the Water Tastes Like Wine: Fireside Chats, which adds new story content to all of the tales told in the 16 chapters of the core game. “Like the full game, the Where The Water Tastes Like Wine: Fireside Chats experience allows players wander through the United States—and through a century of history—to meet a variety of people, each with their own stories

The Raspberry Pi Foundation announced a new and cheaper version of its most powerful mini PC, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ represents the end of the road for the classic Raspberry Pi, as the company stated in a blog post in no uncertain terms. If you’re not familiar with the Raspberry Pi and other similar mini PCs, there is a world of possibilities that these inexpensive systems open up. RetroPie, for example, is a popular retro gaming platform for the Raspberry Pi. I

Do you want to sit at the head of a galaxy-spanning empire that claims a thousand, thousand stars within its indisputable domain? To get the freebie, you’ll need to sign up for the Humble Bundle newsletter, if you haven’t already. Once that’s done, click the “get it now” button, and, yeah, that’s pretty much it.

Its new BlackWidow Lite mechanical keyboard, however, has both gamers and professionals in sight with a toned down design. Razer said it was shooting for a “minimalistic profile that’s fit for the professional environment,” and at a glance, it appears that way. That said, it’s interesting that Razer opted for a tenkeyless form factor, trading a dedicated number pad for a compact design. However, that decision is bound to be a deal killer for anyone who does a lot of number crunching and/or numbe

AMD is running a ‘Raise the Game Fully Loaded’ promotion that gifts buyers of certain Radeon graphics cards up to three games collectively worth $180. Jarred mentioned the promotion in this review of a newly released XFX Radeon RX 590. The offer applies to eligible Radeon RX 590 graphics cards, but also includes Radeon RX Vega cards as well. Anyone who purchases a Radeon RX 590 or Vega card can claim codes for Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5, and Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, all out early next

Thanks to a couple weeks of beta playtime, lots of Fallout 76 players are already high-level and decoding nuke launch codes just a day after the game officially arrived. And not only did one team manage to launch a nuke, but they aimed it at a fissure site, which are areas of Fallout 76’s map where you’ll typically encounter scorchbeasts. Dropping a nuke on a fissure site, as these players discovered, will create not just a huge explosion but a timed event called Scorched Earth that centers arou

Lawson Delta, the new Hunt: Showdown map that Crytek teased in October, is now live as part of the 3.0 beta update. The map is built around a prison, a fort, and a train station, and is designed to give players a better sense of location and direction than the previous map. Players will now experience inertia when they move to make it more difficult to dodge attacks—the patch notes state that players were “abusing the ADAD buttons.” Players can still perform the same trick jumps, quickly peak ou

FPS fans who are bored of their current Steam library should give Rising Storm 2: Vietnam a try this week. It’s free to play from Thursday, November 15 at 1PM EDT, until Wednesday, November 21st at 1PM. Before you jump in, know that being an FPS demigod in Call of Duty doesn’t automatically guarantee success in Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. The weaponry in RS2: Vietnam is super deadly; it only takes a couple of well-placed shots to the chest, or a single shot to the spine to send a player to the resp

Mythgard is a collectible card game from Rhino Games, a studio made up of former Blizzard and Gazillion developers. It’s set in a world reminiscent of Shadowrun, where magic and mythical beings rub shoulders with ordinary folks living in modern cities. It’s got a punky, urban fantasy vibe with card battles that are meant to combine the pace of Hearthstone with the tactical complexity of Magic. During the beta, you’ll get to play the single-player story campaign, fight in 1v1 and 2v2 multiplayer,

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, despite our very positive review, has not been the success that CD Projekt Red expected, according to a recent CDPR earnings call. It’s one of our highest review scores of 2018, but the initial GOG exclusivity may have cost it some early sales. CEO Adam Kiciński told investors, “The game appealed to the community, which drove up our expectations regarding sales. Unfortunately, as yet, these expectations have not been fulfilled.” Kiciński said he remained optimis

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are always rife with several impressive deals when it comes to gaming hardware and peripherals. Want to grab a chair when Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2018 arrive this year? Meanwhile, Office Depot ran a sale on a $99 “gaming chair” of an undisclosed brand. For 2018, Staples has already revealed a $99 gaming chair (brand unknown), which is $100 down from its usual price. Early Black Friday and Cyber Monday gaming chair deals

Gaming PCs are always evolving, but this year is something of a turning point. It means that 2018 is a great time to buy a new gaming PC. What to expect from gaming PC deals on Black Friday and Cyber MondayIntel just launched its first 9th-generation “Cannon Lake” Intel Core processors, including the i5-9600K, the i7-9600K, and i9-9900k. The chances of seeing a heavily-discounted gaming PC with one of these processors is slim. Early Black Friday gaming PC deals

While it’s always a big player on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Walmart might be the last store that comes to mind for PC part/component deals, but it’s becoming increasingly relevant. The company just launched its own line of gaming PCs, and there are often several good deals available on PC parts. What to expect from Walmart deals on Black Friday and Cyber MondayMost of Walmart’s yearly sales aren’t in the realm of PCs or PC components—more like appliances, game consoles, clothes, and so on.

With disaster nipping at my heels, it was one of Surviving Mars: Space Race’s rival colonies that saved the day. Doling out a few quid more for Space Race Plus also gets you some extra cosmetic options. Inspired by Paradox’s grand strategy romps, Space Race throws random narrative events into the mix that confront you with a few choices. Just when things were getting a bit competitive, Space Race gave me some rocket boots and launched me towards the finish line. I expect I’ll take another crack

If you want to see a heap of zombies get sliced up over and over again by a giant blender, this video (posted by Reddit user NorthGuidance) is for you. This dismemberment tech is a feature of The Black Masses, an open world co-op game from developer Brilliant Game Studios. It also demonstrates how dense the project’s crowds can be—and it doesn’t seem to impact the performance much. The developers say they can feature over 100,000 characters on-screen and still run at 60fps. The Black Masses is s

That’s why this Better Inventory mod created by brilliant Fallout 4 modder registrator2000 is the upgrade I was looking for. Better Inventory adds a filter in the Aid tab just for food and drink, even letting you sub-filter that filter for only disease-free cooked food and beverages. Check the Nexus Mods page here for full instructions on how to install and use Better Inventory. Important: While Better Inventory already feels like a must-have mod, at this stage we really don’t know what Bethesda

The latest Assassin’s Creed Odyssey patch lifts the level cap from 50 to 70, adds a second Lost Tales of Greece called Test of Judgement, introduces gear transmogrification and adds a “smart loot” system that supposedly nudges drops towards your favourite play style. As detailed in the full patch notes on Reddit, you can now pick up the Test of Judgement quest from Korinth. In addition a new Mercenary benefits page gives more detail on the bonuses you get for fighting through each tier. My favou

Castle siege-heavy medieval MMO is just coming off the back of a server stress test, and in the exclusive trailer above, you can see its large-scale competitive castle sieges in action. PC Gamer’s Phil Savage took part in the siege mode a few weeks back, and described it as a bit Dynasty Warriors and a bit Mount and Blade, and rough around the edges at this stage. I sampled a siege in action at Gamescom, too, and the busy numbers of NPCs fighting and shifting battle lines also reminded me of Dyn

Fallout 76’s Reclamation Day is now a real thing in West Virginia, bizarrely. Thank you West Virginia! The state officially partnered with Bethesda to take advantage of the potential influx of tourists, and it looks like making Reclamation Day real is one of those marketing stunts. Unfortunately, Reclamation Day won’t get you time off work. If you’re a tourist in digital West Virginia, here’s how to get started in Fallout 76.
