  • Comparatively high pricing for OLED TVs versus LCD TVs is a big reason why we have not see mass adoption in the mainstream, even as buyers look to upgrade from 1080p to 4K. The situation is improving, though, and today Newegg is offering some tantalizing flash discounts on a couple of LG’s OLED TVs. One is the 55-inch model ($1,400, down from $2,000), and the other is the 65-inch model ($2,150, down from $3,000). You can grab the 55-inch model here and the 65-inch model here, selling new on Newe

  • The 2017 Golden Joystick Awards are all wrapped up, and that means it’s time to kick back and peruse the full list of winners. The big winner this time around is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which claimed four titles, including the “Ultimate Game of the Year” award, (I guess “Game of the Year” just doesn’t cut it these days). But PC games got some love too, with nods going to World of Tanks, Friday the 13th, Overwatch, and—big surprise here—PUBG. This year’s Lifetime Achievement Awar

  • EVGA is best known for its graphics, followed by power supplies and motherboards, but it also dabbles in case design as well. There are four new mid-towers, and seven cases in all if you count the white and black color options. All of the cases support mounting your graphics vertically with a special mounting kit (presumably a bracket and a riser cable). The cases feature up to three tempered glass panels, depending on the model. All of these cases are available to preorder now at marked down pr

  • MuktiMukti is “a mystery exploration game” according to its creators, collaborating Mumbai-based indie developers Wandermind Labs and underDOGS Studio. It’s part of what seems to be a growing trend of indie games from India that are actually set in the country, which is cool to see. The game’s developers are unashamedly inspired by Gone Home, and early impressions suggest that Mukti could capture something of that eerie, unsettling experience of uncovering long-hidden secrets through exploration

  • Sergei Larin, better known in underworld circles as The Forger, was the first-ever Hitman Elusive Target. And as developer Io Interactive promised last month, he’s back for a ten-day sojourn through Paris—which means you have another opportunity to put two in his head. The reactivated Elusive Targets will work exactly as they did the first time around, and with all the same suit unlocks, for new players and old pros who missed them the first time around. There’s only one exception: If you’ve alr

  • (Or to run to Reddit and complain that he’s selling the bloody Sunbracers again.) This week Xur is on Titan, hanging around on The Rig.

  • It’s been more than 11 years since the release of mythologic action-RPG Titan Quest and its single expansion, Immortal Throne. The property ultimately went to THQ Nordic, which re-released the game and expansion last year as the Titan Quest Anniversary Edition. “Since the day we acquired the franchise in 2013, we’ve been toying around with ideas on what’s best for Titan Quest. As the title suggests, Titan Quest: Ragnarok will take the game into the realm of Norse mythology. The new expansion req

Its Curve Digital Sale is live now, should you fancy some neat deals into the weekend. With up to 90 percent off certain games—such as the lovely Stealth Bastard Deluxe (69p) and its follow-up Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones (£1.29), the Curve Digital Sale gathers the indie publisher’s best at a fraction of their normal cost.

  • The question is: is carrying over saves year-on-year at least possible? “Both technologically and legally, the answer to that is no,” Sports Interactive’s Miles Jacobson tells me. He adds: “You have more features, you’re adding more data or tweaking the way it works. Again, even if we found a technical way to do it, from a legal perspective it’s: nope.” Look out for our extensive interview with Miles Jacobson on Monday, where we chat about the past, present and future of FM, and how the esteemed

  • Ahead of its sometime-in-2018 release date, Sea of Thieves has spent the last several months showcasing its mechanics, modest technical specs for lesser-equipped machines, and behind-the-scenes dev processes, among a number of other things. Riffing off Trainspotting’s iconic ‘choose life’ speech and Iggy Pop’s accompanying Lust For Life, Sea of Thieves asks that players “be more pirate”. Earlier this year, I chatted with developer Rare about the game’s cross-play features. We thought about PC pl

  • The Darkness 2 was a great horror FPS, chiefly because the protagonist boasted some hectic tentacles with which he could eviscerate foes. But it also told a great yarn and had a neat cell-shaded aesthetic. Back when it released in 2012, the market was flooded with COD and COD-alikes and everyone was a bit fed up with linear FPS games. Anyway, the game is currently $5.99 on Steam – down from the usual $39.99. If you’ve just completed the new Wolfenstein and need another punchy shooter with a cool

  • Potionomics is a management game about a witch named Sylvia running a magic shop, currently being developed by Seattle indie studio Voracious Games. PC Gamer: I have this idea in my head of what Potionomics is, but what is it in yours words? I think that’s part of it. I think that’s why Emily’s work stood out when I was doing all the animation tests. I think that’s really important.

  • EA has stopped selling Star Wars Battlefront 2’s premium currency, Crystals, ahead of the game’s launch. They aren’t gone forever, but won’t come back until the progression system has been tweaked. “We hear you loud and clear, so we’re turning off all in-game purchases,” reads a message from DICE GM Oskar Gabrielson. One of my issues with the progression system is the absolute glut of Star Cards, many of which are boring stat boosts—not new abilities, but simple health increases, for example. Th

  • Eventually, players can work their way through the Atlas to the final four maps, each protected by a powerful Guardian. Killing one of them lets you then take on The Shaper, the Cthulhu-looking big bad of Path of Exile’s universe. War for the Atlas revamps this entire system by introducing 32 new maps, a new layout, and a new threat to the Atlas: The Elder. Though they share a similarly vague name, The Elder and The Shaper are at war and its up to you to decide which one wins. By completing maps
