There’s a moment in the first Avengers: Infinity War trailer when Thanos steps out of a portal and looks around. It’s as if he’s saying “This may be an Avengers movie, but this is all about me.” So it is with Thanos Rising: Avengers Infinity War from USAopoly. A painted figure of Thanos towers over the table, aiming his gaze at the Infinity Stones and the heroes of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. Those characters we’ve grown to love over 10 years and 19 movies will face down Thanos and hope to stop

Rust is interesting, and also infuriating, largely because it is completely without rules. What’s a poor soul, dropped naked and alone into the midst of a cold, rocky wilderness, to do? The new Compound update promises to help alleviate the stresses of such no-holds-barred business by adding a place where players can safely interact under the protective watchful eye of heavily-armed scientists. The rules are simple: No weapons, no looting, no killing, and no sleeping inside, or directly outside,

To quickly recap how things got to this point, the program aimed to incentivize Nvidia’s hardware partners to align their gaming brands exclusively with GeForce products. Nvidia stressed that the program wasn’t exclusive and that its partners could continue to sell and promote any products they wanted. There’s no commitment to make any monetary payments or product discounts for being part of the program,” Nvidia stated in a blog post announcing the program. Nvidia’s program wasn’t around long en

The latest Overwatch update unleashed the new hero Brigitte into the game’s competitive mode. This is probably a good thing, if the competitive Overwatch forums and subreddits are any indication. Most of the threads complain about how Brigitte has a stun and a knockback, both on short cooldowns. Just a few days into her availability in Overwatch’s competitive mode, a handful of nerfs hit Brigitte on the Overwatch PTR. In other words, she can shoot through full-health allies, healing allies (or d

Most first time builders don’t realize this, but picking the right computer case is a monumental decision. The best PC case for your build determines what components will actually fit inside, how easy your system will be to build, how air will flow across your components, and how your computer will fit into your gaming setup. PC chassis come in a variety of sizes, from miniscule mini-ITX systems meant to sit on your desk, to massive full towers designed for maximum expandability. With this in mi

Every month, PC Gamer Club Legendary members get a new game key in their inbox. Thanks to our partners at Fanatical, we’re excited to announce that the latest game on the way is the remastered 1999 classic, King of Dragon Pass. It’s a strategy classic, and a great piece of PC gaming history to own. Current Legendary members should have received their keys by email already (check your spam folder if you don’t see the email). Aside from game keys every month, you’ll get an ad-free site, a digital

Right around a month ago, Intel announced it had completed the release of microcode updates for products launched within the last 9+ years to protect against Spectre and Meltdown. It was then up to Intel’s hardware partners to issue BIOS updates based on the latest microcode, and Asus has begun doing that for some of its older products. Among those are socket LGA1150 motherboards for Intel’s 4th generation Haswell and 5th generation Broadwell processors, such as the Z97-A/USB 3.1. Asus also has

In that case you’ll need to sign up for one of three entrance packages, ranging in price from $75 to $400. Also up for grabs is a QuakeCon 2018 Swag Pack, which includes the ultimate must-have accessory for the discriminating Quake fan: An inflatable rocket launcher. The Swag Pack is $150, which is an awful lot for an inflatable toy. I won’t say that justifies the price, because that’s really a personal decision that only you can make, but I will say that an inflatable rocket launcher would look

Not long after it arrived, however, some users started complaining of installation issues. A new hotfix driver (397.55) is supposed to fix those issues, along with a few others. We’ve also seen a few complaints from owners of other graphics card models, though it seems the GTX 1060 is most affected. Here’s a look at the full set of issues it addresses:After driver installation, Device Manager may report Code 43 error on a few GTX 1060 cards models. If you’re experiencing any of the above issues,

But there’s more to Fort Triumph than its obvious inspiration, as the ensuing combat demonstrates. Between battles there’s no base to upgrade, but there is an overworld map straight out of a Heroes of Might and Magic game. The final thing making Fort Triumph its own thing is the tone, fantasy-comedy somewhere between the Rat Queens comic and Overlord. Fort Triumph was recently released on Early Access after a successful Kickstarter raised $78,000. But incomplete as it is, Fort Triumph is still h

For $12, which is what the Humble Monthly goes for, it’s a screaming good deal. The remaining games in the June Humble Monthly will be revealed at the end of the month, and possibly a few of them in the middle of it as well. Active subscribers also get access to the Humble Monthly Trove, which includes all Humble Originals and a selection of other DRM-free games. For some reason, gamers in China and South Korea will get Prototype 2 in this bundle instead of Destiny 2. The June Humble Monthly Bun

After one unsuccessful crowdfunding campaign last year, Swery’s The Good Life reached its Kickstarter goal on second showing this week. According to the project’s page, the cats-and-dogs murder mystery game will be brought to life next year, all going to plan, in something that boasts “bizarre and mysterious things” and “unique and memorable characters”. Some of that is teased in the game’s first story trailer:Against what we’ve seen so far, there’s not an inordinate amount of new information to

With Dark Souls: Remastered fast approaching, I’ve spent the past few evenings exploring (read: repeatedly dying in) FTRicher’s Prepare to Die Again mod. By relocating the base game’s enemies, NPCs, bonfires and items, this ambitious undertaking creates a whole new Dark Souls experience. The creator’s next project is a similarly bold work-in-progress venture that draws from Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Named The Breath of the Soul, FTRicher’s latest adds new items by way of buffs and healing compo

Iron Harvest was recently successfully Kickstarted to the tune of $1.2 million. In the end we made more money with the Iron Harvest Kickstarter campaign than with our previous three campaigns combined. You mention on your site that you asked thousands of RTS fans what they want from a new RTS game. If the enemy forces consist mainly of infantry units, you might want to equip an MG or a flamethrower instead. He has powerful melee attacks and distracts infantry units, so that Anna has a chance to

This week, he’s announced a partnership with World of Tanks that lets players recruit him as a tank commander. The collaboration marks the addition of 11 new Italian tanks in WoT, that boast a “never-before-seen auto-reloader mechanic”. So what does the World Cup, UEFA Cup, umpteen Serie A title-winning, FIFA 100 stalwart Gianluigi Buffon think of all of this? “If you think you’re up for it, then join me in World of Tanks!” In-game, Buffon lends his likeness and voiceover to World of Tanks as an

You know the deal by now: this is arbitrarily Star Wars Day because of a pun on the date, and not because this day actually has anything to do with Star Wars (the 1977 movie was released on 25 May). Still, don’t let my light cynicism stop you from hoovering up some classic (and not-so-classic) Star Wars games for less this weekend. Steam has its complete collection of Star Wars games available as a bundle for about $76/£55, and big discounts on individual games too. It’s worth noting that Star W

Offworld Trading Company bills itself as “an economic real-time strategy game set on Mars”. From now through Sunday, May 6 at 10am PST/6pm BST, Mohawk Games’ Offworld Trading Company is free to try on Steam. Here’s some in-game footage:As outlined there, Offworld Trading Company tasks players with dominating a Martian market where money trumps military force. As well as being a tolerable pub fact, that provides a helpful contrast with the bright, vicious and exciting thrust of Offworld Trading C

This is Lancelot Du Lac and Morgana Le Fey of Arthurian legend, and they’re about to meet one of England’s deadliest psychopaths, Jack the Ripper. When you go to the Jack the Ripper museum in London, there’s a silhouette of the Ripper: top hat, cloak, the medical bag. Much of Du Lac & Fey involves exploring a painterly English world of dimly lit bars, misty cobblestone streets, and snowy churchyards. Like the Ripper, the Arthurian legend that Du Lac and Fey are from experienced alteration over t
