Do you want to kick the tires and—oh wait, that’s Top Gun. Never mind all that then, let us just turn our attention to the new Humble Bundle, this one a digital speedfest on four wheels courtesy of Codemasters Racing. At the pay-what-you-want entry level, you get F1 Race Stars, F1 2011, F1 2012, and Toybox Turbos. And finally, at the top of the heap, $15 piles on Micro Machines World Series, F1 2016, Dirt Rally, the F1 2016 Career Booster Pack DLC, and the Grid 2 All In DLC. The Humble Codemaste

Whether or not Divinity: Original Sin 2 is up there with the greatest RPGs of all time is a matter of debate. What’s not up for discussion is that it is a big hit for developer Larian Studios. In just a couple of months we’ve roared past this huge landmark, and it’s all down to you! pic.twitter.com/PiimrwV9b8November 28, 2017That number comes not much more than two months after the game was released. It will surely come as no surprise that Divinity: Original Sin 2 is in the running for our covet

Invisibility, invulnerability, and instant kills: the sniper rifle is a cheat code with a trigger. A great sniper rifle has to have a scope that lets us see deep into the microscopic horizon. Counter-Strike’s AWP is a legend itself, and arguably it helped start the “all-powerful bolt-action sniper rifle” trope that we’re celebrating today. Bring the noiseIt’s obvious that a good sniper rifle has to be loud as all hell. A sniper rifle has to sound like the Earth breaking because, again, a good sn

Today, along with Patch 7.3.2, the final raid for this expansion opens. Antorus, The Burning Throne, will be the last chapter in the war against the Burning Legion as players fight against the living embodiment of the planet Argus. Like all raids, Antorus, The Burning Throne opens in phases. If you’re looking to take on Antorus in Normal or Heroic difficulties, the WoW community already has some thorough guides you can follow. Antorus, the Burning Throne bosses drop tier 21 armor.

Parkasaurus is an aptly titled, low-poly dinosaur park management sim from two-person Canadian developer Washbear. It’s coming to Steam Early Access in spring 2018, Washbear announced today, and it’s bringing a variety of Jurassic challenges with it. Thankfully, you can skip all that genetics mumbo-jumbo from Jurassic Park, travel back in time and steal some dinosaur eggs—after the proper research, of course. Washbear expects Parkasaurus to remain in Early Access for six to eight months price ha

After weeks of teasing and individual card reveals, Blizzard has announced that the Hearthstone expansion Kobolds & Catacombs will be out on December 7. Players will be given three Kobolds & Catacombs card packs and a random Legendary Weapon card for logging in after it’s live, and will also have access to three one-time Dungeon Runs, each with its own card pack reward. #Kobolds & Catacombs launches Dec. 7! https://t.co/eBYHqq055W 🕯️ pic.twitter.com/pKMemfLttjNovember 28, 2017Pre-purchasing 50 p

It’s the ROG Strix XG258Q and it combines a fast native 240Hz refresh rate with a 1ms gray-to-gray response time and FreeSync support for smooth gameplay. The specs are similar to the company’s ROG Swift PG258Q, except that one supports Nvidia’s G-Sync technology whereas the ROG Strix XG258Q is a FreeSync monitor. Given the speed of this monitor, it’s not surprising to find a TN panel as opposed to an IPS or VA panel. The ROG Strix XG258Q is available now on Amazon for $449. which is $64 less th

As a result, AMD has rolled out a hotfix to address the issue. “An intermittent crash issue may be experienced on some Radeon RX Vega series graphics products,” AMD states in the release notes for its 17.11.3 Crimson ReLive hotfix. A random system hang may be experienced after extended periods of use on system configurations using 12 GPU’s for compute workloads. The GPU Workload feature may cause a system hang when switching to Compute while AMD CrossFire is enabled. Disabling Radeon ReLive as a

Planetoid Pioneers is the customisable space sandbox game that Matt Sayer once introduced his real-life, five-door sedan into. “Blueprints from the workshop will now appear in various places and ways in the game,” says the developer on the game’s Steam Early Access page. ), I caught up with Data Realms’ Dan Tabar about the hows and whys of the system, and its potential into the future. We also had to design the system around how this would work in-game and still keep it somewhat balanced and app

When considering the best Star Wars games for this list, it’s clear that the saga has had its ups and downs on PC. If you’re looking for some not-so-good Lucasarts tie-ins, which are still loveable in their own right, check out our list of the worst Star Wars games. In the late ’90s I was obsessed with Star Wars games—I think I still have a PC Gamer demo disc containing only Star Wars game demos that I played again and again for about two years—and Rogue Squadron is weirdly one of those titles c

It’s been over a year since the release of Civilization 6 and Firaxis has finally revealed the first expansion, Rise and Fall. In a Dark Age, things are not so rosy. These trigger when you emerge from a Dark Age with enough Era Score to qualify for a Golden Age, in spite of everyone and everything. They’re basically a Golden Age on steroids, with even more powerful buffs to spur your civ on to victory. Civilization VI: Rise and Fall will be out on February 8, 2018.

Since launch last year, Civilization 6 has drip fed us incremental updates by way of new race DLC, Steam Workshop and mod tools, and a free demo. Now, it’s unveiled its Rise and Fall expansion—billed as the “deepest Civilization experience to date”. “Rise triumphantly from a Dark Age,” says publisher 2K, “and your next Golden Age will be even stronger – a Heroic Age.” A new city loyalty system means cities now have individual loyalty to player leadership, wherein low yields, politics and revolts

Rising Storm 2: Vietnam features in our list of the best multiplayer FPSes you probably aren’t playing —with Evan saying it strikes a sweet spot between authenticity and accessibility. Its latest complimentary update dives further into the former with a host of era-appropriate guns, maps and vehicles. Named the ‘Bushranger’ update, the shooter’s new patch introduces Australian forces—a “major player on the anti-Communist side of the war for ten years”—who bring with them unique customisation pos

The owner is pleasant enough, but because Dishonored games turn me into a raging kleptomaniac, I investigate the locked door in the back. I wait for her to turn away, snatch the key from her belt and descend into a dingy basement. At the bottom of the stairs it becomes clear why she was so keen to keep people out of her basement. And in a nearby cell, there’s a nest of the vile insects and a terrified man begging to be set free. I go back upstairs and find the key the guy told me about, unlockin

Biomutant was one of the most exciting demos at Gamescom this year, despite the fact my demonstration was hands-off. Everything I’ve seen since of the open world, post-apocalyptic brawler has impressed, and its latest screens are no different. Showcasing its cutesy racoon protagonist in a series of compromising and endearing situations, the following stills tease the game’s beautiful world, its frightening foes, and a machine gun-firing, duck-headed robot. With what appears to be pretty sophisti

Everyone’s flown the Lazer jet in GTA V. It’s the one you can steal from Fort Zancudo, in both singleplayer and GTA Online. But I wouldn’t pay 6.5 million GTA dollars for it. Today, though, if you log in to Warstock in GTA Online, you can. As highlighted by the GTA Online subreddit, the description for the Lazer on Warstock is amusingly meta. To buy the Lazer with Shark Cards would cost a large fraction of the £65/$100 Megaladon card, which gives you GTA$8 million.

Enter Arron Dominion’s Skyrim Pizza—Survival Mode Edition mod, which adds Chef Turtle’s Riverwood Pizza shop to the quaint, White River-facing village. “Chef Turtle has moved to Riverwood and opened up Riverwood Pizza. [Chef Turtle] bakes in the morning and opens up from noon to 8pm every day to sell Pizza.” Arron Dominion continues, saying three recipe texts can be purchased from Chef Turtle himself in Riverwood, in Dawnguard’s Soul Cairn, and in Solstheim’s The Retching Netch inn.

Last month Total War developer Creative Assembly discussed the direction of its historical games, before unveiling Total War: Rome 2 Empire Divided—a new DLC for the 2013 original—shortly after. Let’s watch that first:Taking place in 270 AD, Empire Divided returns to a turbulent Roman Empire. From there you’ll negotiate victory conditions, new campaign features and plagues, cults and bandits. During his hands-on time last week, Tom liked but didn’t love Empire Divided. Total War: Rome 2’s Empire

Loot boxes, which burst open to reveal randomized rewards in games, don’t exist because they’re good for game design. The way Star Wars Battlefront 2 implemented loot boxes, however, shows that the biggest companies are testing the waters: how much can we put in these things? Bad game design which transparently exists to encourage spending is frustrating, especially in a game that already costs $60. Are loot boxes gambling? All I can recommend for now is that we keep calling out obnoxious implem

Not so in Magibot, a self-proclaimed hybrid of “both strategic and 2D platformer gameplay” starring Ilo, a robot magician. As Ilo, you use ‘magic blocks’ to create a navigable path, and then you navigate it yourself. You have a limited number of blocks to clear each level, so you have to build efficient paths. The way Ilo bounces between pre-placed blocks gives Magibot something of a puzzle vibe, and it’s easy to imagine the satisfaction of clearing your own maneuvers. 2D platformer Light Fall,
