Mid-range graphics cards, like the Radeon RX 580 and Nvidia GTX 1060, are still overpriced for the most part. Some retailers have been trying to soften the blow, by throwing in PC games, power supplies, and other products when you buy a GPU. Right now the ASRock RX 580 is $299.99 on Newegg, and it comes with a free AB350 motherboard. The original RX 580 MSRP was $240, so most of the value in this deal comes from the free motherboard. You can buy the ASRock RX 580 from Newegg here.

From the distant recesses of 1984, Nomad Games and Asmodee Digital have resurrected yet more classic 80s game books in a modern digital format. Roguelike game plus book combinations Deathtrap Dungeon, Trial of Champions, and Armies of Death are included in the release, each modified to use the same visually driven style as last year’s Fighting Fantasy Legends. Though game books and solitaire roleplaying adventures were no new thing when the first Fighting Fantasy books were written and released,

Rend is a 60-player survival game, but that undersells it somewhat. “Early access marks a pivotal moment for Frostkeep Studios,” co-founder and CEO Jeremy Wood said. It also explained that the current alpha state is not what will be seen in Early Access. (Rest assured, we will be updating Rend with PvP and PvE content well beyond Early Access.)” The Early Access release of Rend will sell for $30.

I’ve seen people beat Fallout: New Vegas without killing anyone. I’ve seen people beat it without dying. And I’ve seen people beat it without firing a single gun. Rhetam started his bonkers challenge run, which you can watch in full on his Youtube channel , back in March 2017. Well, Rhetam said on Reddit that “after doing a Fallout 4 challenge run on Survival mode with no weapons/armor , I decided I wanted to do a challenge run of Fallout New Vegas as well.”

Former Guild Wars 2 narrative designer Jessica Price, who was unceremoniously fired from ArenaNet last week in the wake of a social media exchange with a content creator partner, has spoken out about her dismissal in a lengthy Twitter thread. Price criticized the way her firing was announced, a process she described as “an escalation” of the situation and an “active solicitation of harassment.” It would have been bad enough if they had just fired me and announced I was fired. Everything you’ve s

Even though many PC users enjoy building their own systems, there’s nothing wrong with buying a prebuilt machine – especially when they’re on sale. Right now, an Acer Aspire desktop PC with a 7th-gen Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM is on sale for just $339.99 from Newegg’s eBay store. Not a bad deal at all, especially considering the included Windows 10 Home license and 8GB of RAM. There is a PCI Express card slot, but the 300W PSU doesn’t include a six-pin connector for a GPU. This means you’l

They can embrace those doom-and-gloom endings with branching paths and multiple endings. Gaming has accumulated a number of astonishing, melancholy, and downright sadistic endings for those of us who choose to go dark. In this list we won’t be talking about game endings that result from failure—like botching the suicide run in Mass Effect 2 and losing half your crew. Far Cry 3This one’s definitely not safe for work. I think most of us expected Far Cry to die a silent, forgotten death.

Earlier this year, Epic Games announced its first foray into official competitions for Fortnite, and it’s finally kicking off with the Summer Skirmish series. The competitions will run for eight weeks, awarding participants with a total $8 million in prize money. Events start this weekend (July 14) with a $250,000 duos competition. As hefty as it sounds, $8 million is a pretty small portion of the $100 million Epic has put up for the 2018-2019 season. While Epic previously stated that anyone can

“That whole cold-open has been burned from our servers,” executive producer Andrew Wilson said at the recent Develop Conference (via Eurogamer). Game director Haden Blackman described the sequence as a “really violent prologue” in which Clay kills a cop while escaping a mob ambush. “One of the first conversations Bill [lead writer Bill Harms] and I had about Lincoln was, ‘He can’t be perfect. Hangar 13 suffered layoffs earlier this year after Mafia 3 failed to catch fire. A Kotaku report from Ap

Today, for example, you can get a solid state drive and kit of memory for a nice discount. Specifically, the combo deal is for a Samsung 860 Evo 500GB SSD and a 16GB kit (2x8GB) of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3000 memory for $259.93. Samsung’s 860 Evo is a good choice in the SSD category—the 4TB model is our pick as the best high-end SATA SSD. As for the RAM, it’s a high-quality kit from a name brand, with RGB lighting to boot, if that’s what you’re after. If you’re only interested in the SSD and

Like the AQtion 10G Pro NIC, this new card is a 10GBASE-T Ethernet adapter that is in compliance with the IEEE 802.3an standard. The biggest difference with the Gamer Edition is that it comes with exclusive access to software that allows you to prioritize gaming traffic over your network. “The combination of the gamer edition AQN-107 with the new Aquantia software will allow gamers to prioritize gameplay over other LAN activity. The benefit of a 10Gbps network adapter is much faster data transfe

The Rainbow Six Siege team has revealed patch notes for its current test server, and they come with a wide array of balance changes across the attacking side. The test server is live today with these changes as of 1 PM EDT. One of Siege’s strongest operators, Finka, is buffed further on the test server, with her inconsistent flashbang grenades being swapped out for the more powerful frag grenades, and she’s now less vulnerable to one of her biggest counters—Smoke. IQ is losing her frag grenades

In a post on the Fortnite Battle Royale subreddit, Epic outlined exactly when you’ll need to first download those axes and masks to your PC in the form of a massive patch. Downtime begins at 4 am ET (1 am PT, 8 am GMT), shortly after which the patch will be distributed. Epic will twist some knobs and press some buttons and Season 5 will begin in the minutes or hours that follow. We also have many new things coming your way, due to this the patch size will be larger than normal. Patch notes will

Couger is releasing a smaller version of its Conquer case for users who want to dress up their small form factor (SFF) system in something unique. They will be able to do that in the Conquer Essence, a compact case with room inside for a micro-ATX or mini-ITX motherboard. The compact chassis measures 233 x 480 x 522 mm (9.17 x 18.89 x 20.55 inches). There’s also room in the case to install up to two graphics cards up to 350mm (13.78 inches) in length. While the Cougar Essence is a smaller sized

Gaining access to your network— and through it, the internet—is something you can do via a properly configured Raspberry Pi. Add this to use the 2.4GHz wireless frequency:’hw_mode=g’Then:’channel=7’Or whatever the clearest network channel in your area is, to set the access point’s wireless channel. Back on the Pi, run ‘ifconfig’ in a terminal window; you should see the wireless interface (see above image) has been given an IP address. Tweak itSo, you’ve got your own wireless access point. Viable

Today’s PCG Q&A: What does no one seem to understand about a game you love? James Davenport: The intricacies of Dark Souls’ lore don’t matterJust let that imagery wash over you. At risk of sounding like an English major (I’m an English major), Dark Souls is a poem. If you hate football, Football Manager probably isn’t for you. If I were English, I’d sign off with something cheesy here, like: give Football Manager a try and bring football home.

The Overwatch League is coming to ESPN, and I’m not talking about The Ocho: Disney and Blizzard announced today that pro league action, including the season 1 finals and next year’s season 2, will be broadcast “in some fashion” on the flagship network as well as ESPN2, Disney XD, and ABC. “It’s a cross section that’s a hardcore sports fan, especially on ESPN channels,” Activision Blizzard esports leagues president and CEO Pete Vlastelica said. Maybe they even play Overwatch or play it a lot. Eve

Twin Mirror is Dontnod’s upcoming “story-driven investigation game”, that was revealed prior to E3. Throughout, Dontnod CEO Guilbert refers to Twin Mirror as an interactive story wherein its “specific” and “innovative” gameplay contextualises its overarching narrative. “What is quite new in Twin Mirror compared to other projects is the investigation aspect that is really at the heart of the gameplay,” says Guilbert in the dev diary above. “You’ll discover the hidden reality and be able to, in a

CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kiciński has hinted at the possibility of another main series Witcher game. “The first three Witchers were by definition a trilogy, so we simply could not name the next game The Witcher 4,” Kiciński tells Bankier.pl (via Google Translate). This echoes CD Projekt Red co-founder Marcin Iwiński. In January, I asked if the developer was finished with The Witcher series. Elsewhere, Kiciński tells Bankier.pl that Cyberpunk 2077 is in production and that a team of nearly 350 dev

Three years ago Games Workshop replaced Fantasy Battle with the Age of Sigmar. For Age of Sigmar players the new core book especially is a coming-of-age moment for the game. This is good news because the original four-page Age of Sigmar ruleset simplified Warhammer into a faster, less fiddly game. It’s quite possible to lose a game of Age of Sigmar but know that you played it well. With all this backing Age of Sigmar feels like it’s going to grow and grow in the next decade.
