Nvidia’s surprise announcement and launch of the Titan V upped the ante for the fastest graphics card in the world. With the Titan V, Nvidia goes for a completely different class of users, checking in at a breezy $2,999. Note that unlike previous GeForce and Titan cards, the Titan V is using the full capabilities of the Volta GV100 architecture.

Insurgency: Sandstorm, a sequel to the 2014 online FPS Insurgency, was announced last June with the promise of at least one big improvement over its predecessor: A Story Mode with support for both single-player and co-op action. Unfortunately, as lead game designer Michael Tsarouhas announced today, that story mode has been “canceled for release.” “The story was a very exciting and new opportunity for us as a team, but we felt we had to make a choice,” Tsarouhas wrote. “Andrew has been a mentor

And if you have a second PC like a laptop where you also play games, it’s potentially double the punishment. —Jarred WaltonTake toxicity seriouslyMany of the most popular multiplayer games on PC have been slow to manage toxicity. Overwatch is one of the few PC games that lets you know when a report you’ve made has led to action against a player, though it could better illuminate what the punishment was. We’ve all got to take responsibility for making gaming culture a more pleasant thing to be a

The Steam Awards are basically the videogame accolades equivalent of Whose Line Is It Anyway: Everything is made up, and the points don’t matter. For 2017, those winners are:Choices Matter – The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt”Games are about agency, and this award is for the game that has it in spades. This game doesn’t necessarily offer the biggest explosions… it offers something better. Haunts My Dreams – Counter-Strike: Global Offensive”This award is slightly a misnomer, because this game doesn’t jus

In the Indie GIF Showcase, we dig up the best-looking new and upcoming indie games and explore what makes them special. I’ve seen plenty of machines powered by hamsters spinning their wheels, but never a robot powered by a goldfish. And frankly, medieval times wouldn’t be the first place I’d look, but I guess that just shows how narrow my thinking is. At least according to Feudal Alloy, an upcoming “Metroidvania-style action RPG with fishbowl-powered medieval robots” to hear developer Attu Games

The 2018 Independent Games Festival—the 20th one, as it happens—will be held on March 21 ahead of the 2018 Game Developers Conference.

Those numbers are in line with Silicon Power’s Slim S55 240GB model, which is on our list of the best SSD deals currently a

Movies based on videogames, generally speaking, are not a good idea. Even when a game seems like an obvious fit for a movie, like Max Payne or Assassin’s Creed, there’s still every chance it will crater. In that light, you might think that a game like Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, which has no plot whatsoever, would also have no hope of being made into a coherent film. Yet in a recent interview with Inven Global, PUBG Corporation CEO Chang Han Kim said that a movie is something he’d like to see

Be that as it may, you don’t have to spend a king’s ransom on a new foundation. ASRock’s Z370 Killer SLI/ac motherboard is available for $110 (after $10 mail-in-rebate) on Newegg. That’s a little lower than what it sold for during Black Friday, when Newegg had it marked down to $120 (also after rebate). You can grab the motherboard on sale here. Some online stores give us a small cut if you buy something through one of our links.

Steam has published its hardware and software survey for the month of December, and in the GPU category, Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1060 now stands above the rest. That wasn’t the case in November when the GeForce GTX 750 Ti held the top spot, followed by the GeForce GTX 960. Interestingly, all three saw a drop in usage among Steam gamers, the GeForce GTX 1060 just happened to see the smallest decline. As it stands, the top five graphics cards breaks down as follows:GeForce GTX 1060: 12.56 percent (do

Donadio adapted his college Dungeons & Dragons campaign to create a module for BioWare’s 2002 D&D game, Neverwinter Nights, thanks to its dev kit being made available to players. When Beamdog’s Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition was announced I contacted several prominent community members who all shared a passion for the 15-year-old RPG. Trent OsterLike Donadio, Stockner credits Neverwinter Nights as a major influence and turning point in his career. “We could un-hardcode portions of [Neverwi

The Fallout 4: New Vegas mod project was announced in August last year, and firmly grabbed my attention last month with these dynamic weather screens. Now, the mod has a new trailer that teases its perk system, a shotgun showdown in Goodsprings, and the return of NV’s be-nice-or-be-shunned karma system. Fallout 4: New Vegas is clearly an ambitious undertaking, but it’s one I’m already very much looking forward to. When it’s done, Fallout 4: New Vegas aims to recreate everything from Obsidian’s 2

With Monster Hunter: World just weeks away from its console release, Capcom has taken to Twitter to provide a short update on the development of its PC version. “As for the PC version, we’re working hard on it right now and aiming for an autumn 2018 release,” said producer Ryozo Tsujimoto in a brief video. pic.twitter.com/82JUC6iIMCJanuary 3, 2018For a Monster Hunter fan, that’s a little longer than I was hoping to wait—but if the beta was any indication, Monster Hunter: World plays and looks ex

If you’re new to The Dark Mod, I’m here to help you find the best the game has to offer. Whether you’re new to Thief or not, The Dark Mod does a lot of things in its own way, especially with regards to controls. If you want to see The Dark Mod really flex its muscles, then look no further than Full Moon Fever by Spoonman. All in all, it’s one of the finest missions The Dark Mod has to offer. For more Dark Mod missions check out the missions section of the Dark Mod site.

Despite its positive critical response and handful of free-to-try weekends, Boss Key Productions’ Lawbreakers has struggled commercially since launch last year. According to sales tracking site SteamSpy , the arena shooter’s peak concurrent player count yesterday was just 50—and now publisher Nexon has discussed the game’s shortcomings in its Q3 financial report. Within the transcript , Nexon says its overall revenues were up 36 percent year-over-year, however its earnings in North America fell

Lag and rubber-banding were the subject of PUBG’s first post-launch patch last week, following the battle royal ’em up’s transition to version 1.0. Now, a distinctly smaller PC update has been rolled out to fix long range hit registration and client crashes within the game’s lobby. Announced via the game’s official Twitter feed, developer PUBG Corp advised players that the latest update is live now. PC players, today we deployed a small patch that fixed an issue with long range hits not register

Voting for ModDB’s player-chosen Mod of the Year 2017 wrapped up last month , and a winner was decided last week. Unfortunately, I was too busy filling up on mince pies, leftover turkey and Jack Daniels at the time, so here I am today telling you Brutal Doom is the site’s latest champion. “Brutal Doom has polled strongly in previous awards, but has never won,” says ModDB of its winner. “Tirelessly releasing major updates year after year that takes Doom into a whole new level, we couldn’t be happ

Humble Bundle has served up another ‘Staff Pick’ selection of discounted games, this time courtesy of a crayon dog who goes by the name Scribble. We’re told that she’s our friend, that she likes scritches and that she “make company letterhead”. Similar to Humble’s other familiar tiered offerings, paying $1 (roughly £0.74) nets you pirate action role-player Tempest, quirky indie RPG LiEat, and Lazy Bear Games’ crocodile brawler Punch Club. And if you’re feeling particularly flush, Sribble’s $10 (

As Andy reported last week, the World Health Organization recently listed “Gaming Disorder” as an addictive behaviour in a beta draft of its International Classification of Diseases for 2018. Now, the Entertainment Software Association has issued a statement that suggests the proposed move lacks common sense and “trivializes real mental health issues”. The World Health Organization knows that common sense and objective research prove video games are not addictive. We strongly encourage the World
