  • Solo, a self-described introspective game about love, had the enormous misfortune of being played by me, someone more interested in its art and puzzles than its romantic sentiments. And while “an introspective game about love” is a blue sky proposal if I’ve ever heard one, Solo does a pretty convincing job of selling that experience. Solo values creativity more than physics, so you can build some absurd floating contraptions if you really set your mind to it. Which is good, because Solo’s puzzle

  • Almost all of the complaints on Nvidia’s community forum have come from GeForce GTX 1060 owners, though one of the users says he’s running into an installation issue with this EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW graphics cards. For example, one user claims he lost function of his speaker via his monitor HDMI input after attempting to install the 397.31 driver release. “I have the exact same issue with the new driver and my GTX 1060 6GB. A couple of users in the forum thread say they were able to fix the p

  • What do you get when you cross Zelda with Mother/Earthbound Beginnings, whimsical animations, and a soft sci-fi-inspired post-apocalypse? In practice, I can’t say for sure—but it certainly looks like a Chucklefish game. Eastward is the work of Shanghai-based studio Pixpil, who’s spent the last three years growing its debut project. Look, see:A single-player, “dual character adventure RPG with puzzle-solving and dungeon elements”, Eastward comes to life by way of the studio’s own game engine. By

  • After announcing its latest slice of DLC, Parklife, earlier in the month, Colossal Order have given us a slightly closer look at Cities: Skylines’ upcoming expansion in a new trailer. The last expansion, Green Cities, stole countless hours from me as I tried to fashion the perfect, pollution-free utopia, but I always felt it could be a little greener. The biggest hook in Parklife is that parks are no longer single structures that you plonk down. They’re districts rather than buildings, so they’r

  • It’s a question that has troubled many a videogame scholar: Who would win in a fight, Team Fortress 2 or Overwatch? While the former gets points for being the original posse, the latter brings a undeniable sense of flair. Clocking in at just over eight minutes, it’s a surprisingly lengthy (and hilarious) video that shows each cast of characters duking it out on one of TF2’s Payload maps. I love that each character archetype, like Widowmaker and TF2’s Sniper square off against each other as the l

  • It looks like Final Fantasy 15’s road-tripping boys have gotten a wee bit lost on their way to a wedding or a fight or a chocobo race. They’re so lost, in fact, that they’ve managed to drive right out of Eos and enter the considerably more blocky world of Minecraft. If you’ve got the Windows 10 version of Minecraft, you’ll be able to add Noctis and pals—all 43 skins—for a measly $2.99. Honestly, the image of Prompto riding a pig has already sold me on this, and I don’t even play Minecraft these

  • I know it launched eight years ago, but it’s strange that we don’t talk about Blendo Games’ Flotilla more. It’s a playful space romp full of turn-based tactical battles that evoke the real-time scraps of Homeworld. I frequently think about it, and wonder if Blendo will ever return to its distinctly orange universe and its aggressive space critters. While the first game had procedural battles, the announcement of a level editor implies that they’ll be hand-crafted this time. There will be a campa

  • Miami, the city based on the classic Will Smith song, now has another claim to fame: it’s the latest city to be given a Fallout makeover. Fallout Miami is an in-development mod for Fallout 4, giving us a close look at what’s going on in post-apocalyptic Florida. The Fallout Miami blog sees regular updates, detailing everything from weapon and enemy concepts to Miami residents that could become your companions.

  • To paraphrase Andy’s review, Sonic Mania is the best Sonic game in decades. It’s also responsible for one of the silliest features ever penned on PC Gamer dot com. Furthermore, competition and Time Attack trials now support four-player tourneys and ghost challenges—and a physical edition will ship with a 32-page collector’s artbook.

Developer New World Interactive also has some weekend activities in store, including livestreams and giveaways, increased XP, and “guides and tips” for new players.

  • We have felt the pain of the graphics card shortages for the past three months, but thankfully that pain is finally coming to an end. That’s especially true if you’re playing games at 1440p and/or using a graphics card at the GTX 1070 level or lower. If you’re ready to buy a new graphics card, it helps to know whether or not it’s a good deal.

  • Epic Games filed a lawsuit against a couple of particularly determined Fortnite cheaters late last year, one of whom turned out to be a 14-year-old boy. It was an epic response, you might say, which led to more legalistic maneuvering but no further response from the defendant or his mother. As a result of that silence, Epic moved for a default judgment on February 13. The software company claimed that a contract was formed when the students clicked “I agree,” while the students claimed the “infa

  • QWOP was the very last “computer lab game” I ever played: those itty-bitty projects that were loadable in a browser or easily shared over thumb drives. The key to a good computer lab game was simplicity. Plenty of games have bad controls, but QWOP introduced me to the idea that a game could have them on purpose. Most games—whether meant for 30-second bursts in the computer lab or not—promise satisfying output for a particular input. QWOP played with the familiar elements of games deliberately, b
