We’re into the last four days of the Humble Store Spring Sale, and three more publishers are throwing their hats into the ring of deals. Starting from today, you’ve got until May 25 to check out cheap games from Deep Silver, Focus Home Interactive, and Ubisoft. That’s also the date the entire Humble Spring Sale draws to a close, so you don’t have long left now. Starting with Deep Silver’s sale, you’ve got until Thursday to decide if you want to get the likes of Homefront: The Revolution, Saints

The latest King of Fighters is finally hitting PC next month, SNK has announced. It’s the first in the long-running fighting series to make the transition to 3D, and while it’s no Street Fighter V on the looks front, it doesn’t look half-bad. Released on PS4 last year, KOF 14’s 3D character models were recently enhanced with a big, free update, and by the look of it, it’s that new version that will be arriving on PC on June 15. You can find the game on Steam here. With the 20% pre-order discount

If you’re a fan of Overwatch’s animated shorts—brief, story-based trailers that fill in details of the combatants’ backstories—then you’ll be pleased to hear that more are on the way. Director Jeff Kaplan revealed as much in a press event attended by Polygon, stating that a second ‘season’ of shorts was on the cards, and that production was “well underway”. “The animated shorts are probably the thing that we have the most fun making,” Kaplan explained at the event. The last couple of animated sh

If you weren’t paying attention back in 2014 when GOG gave away the original Mount & Blade as part of that year’s Autumn Sale, you’re being given a chance to set things right. Because right now, and until 9 am ET on May 21—so this weekend, basically—it’s free all over again. Mount & Blade is a sandbox medieval RPG/strategy game with “highly advanced and intuitive sword-fighting” and mounted combat—hence the title, you see. The rest of the Mount & Blade series is on sale on GOG right now too, for

Tomorrow is going to be a very bad day for a very large number of virtual bunnies in Second Life. Because tomorrow, as reported by Waypoint, they’re all going to starve to death. The rabbits in question, referred to in the game as “breedables,” are an in-game pet provided by a company named Ozimals. No database means no food, and no food means no more rabbit. Now, hibernation doesn’t sound so awful, except that unless the Ozimals database is restored, those little bunny rabbits are never going t

I’ve been privately lamenting the lack of PC game demos lately. There was a time when demos were commonplace: a chunk of a brand new game you could try out for free before you bought the full game. I know creating game demos means more work, and that it’s not as simple as cutting off a slice of the game and plopping it in a folder. But in addition to demos being beneficial to gamers, developers and publishers can gain valuable information from making free demos available. PC demos are good for e

March 24 was a day tinged with sadness, for it was the day that Battle.net died, brought low by Blizzard’s decision to move to the more innocuous-sounding “Blizzard App” or sometimes “Blizzard Launcher.” So it caused a little confusion around these parts when, during the Destiny 2 reveal event yesterday, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime referred to the service as “Battle.net.” “Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to welcoming Destiny 2 and its players to Battle.net.” “It’s still Blizzard Launcher,

Lonely Mountains: Downhill is an upcoming third-person mountain biking game with a minimalist direction in more than just its art style. There are no fans or structures along the mountain roads, just you, the trees, and the wind in your polygonal hair. It looks like a rad combination of a relaxing nature ride and an Xtreme downhill run (specifically with a capital X and no E). But as the trailer shows off, crashing and ragdolling off your bike isn’t out of the question either. Lonely Mountains:

The highsTim Clark: I have played it, and it is goodAfter playing Destiny 2 on PC yesterday, I can safely say that it’s surpassed my expectations. Listen to what Datto, the prominent YouTuber whose Destiny 1 recap video I shared earlier this week, had to say about the PC version at the event. James, Tom and I will be setting our own thoughts to video on Monday (sadly the footage is PS4, as they weren’t allowing PC capture yet). Oh, and you better believe I’m making plans for the PC Gamer clan .

I’m currently able to log into Steam without delay, start games without sync errors, and list items on the Steam Marketplace, and Steamstat.us is also showing green almost across the board. Original story:Are you having problems accessing Steam? The problems appears extensive, based on Steamstat.us. pic.twitter.com/S3SKKDvqEkMay 19, 2017When we attempted to list an item on the Steam Market, we got this message: “We were unable to contact the game’s item server. The game’s item server may be down

Tripwire announced today that Rising Storm 2: Vietnam—the sequel to the standalone Red Orchestra 2 expansion Rising Storm—will be out on May 30th. Specifically, it’ll be out at noon Pacific on May 30th. What’s more, a free open beta is running until this Monday, May 22 at 1 pm Pacific. The Rising Storm 2 Digital Deluxe version is currently available for pre-purchase at $22.49/£17.24 with a 25 percent discount, and comes with four weapon skins for Killing Floor 2. But there’s no purchase required

You want to build a PC to rival PC Gamer’s Large Pixel Collider, but without all the decorative fluff. Of course, you don’t need to pitch the PC as a gaming build to the significant others in your life. An extreme gaming PC can do anything else you might need—it just happens to handle games really well. It’s no surprise that our own PC gaming benchmark system uses hardware very similar to this build. More than anything else in an extreme gaming PC, the graphics card—or cards—matter.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is taking an unusual approach to its single-player campaign by telling it from the perspective of an Imperial soldier. The Empire, of course, have traditionally served as the bad guys of the Star Wars mythos, and that’s a tough perception to turn around. But as Lucasfilm creative executive Steve Blank explains in the new “Story of an Imperial Soldier” trailer, it was an approach EA Motive wanted to take right from the start. Coincidentally or not, it also stands to this d

Flight Sim World was announced earlier month as a general aviation aircraft simulator featuring “an unprecedented level of realism and detail.” Developer Dovetail Games, the studio behind the even-more-niche game Train Simulator, said it expected that the new game would debut on Steam Early Access later this month, and yesterday, it did. “We have a roadmap, things that we’re really excited to bring into Flight Sim World,” community manager Cryss Leonhart says in the video. New content will also

There’s an AI driving on the streets of Los Santos. But such stops are only temporary for Charles, a “convolutional neural network that learns to drive through deep learning” on the Twitch channel sentdex. Right now, about 2500 people are watching the AI swerve in and out of traffic before inevitably getting stuck on a rock, flipped upside down or sunk underwater. “At the moment, Charles learns and takes all actions based on single frames at a time, and bases his decisions on just pixel data,” t

One way to get there is with Netgear’s Nighthawk X4, a relatively high-end router that is currently on sale at Newegg. The Nighthawk X4 is listed at $170, a price that will be in effect until next Wednesday. What you get with the Nighthawk X4 is a dual-band router rated to deliver up to 600Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 1,733Mbps on the 5GHz band. For external connectivity, there are two USB 3.0 ports one side of the router and an eSATA port on the other side. You can grab the Nighthawk X4 on

Barring some quibbles with the Rogue Quest , I called Journey to Un’Goro the best Hearthstone expansion since The League of Explorers recently . And I absolutely stand by that: the diversity of decks on the ladder is at an all time high, and all the classes feel competitively viable barring poor old Warlock . Fight Promoter Say hello to your free dust. Seemingly looking to draw the sting from those complaints, Blizzard has been finding ways to be slighty more generous with freebies. Recently we

The good news, however, is that Vega presumably will be launching to consumers soon, and some of those cards will be faster than the Frontier Edition. AMD is claiming that its Frontier Edition card can deliver 25 teraflops (TFLOPS) of half-precision FP15 compute performance and 13 TFLOPS of single-precision FP32 compute performance. While Koduri says that multiple flavors of consumer Vega cards will be faster than the Frontier Edition, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they will have beefier spe

But the news also had an impact on the in-game gold price of WoW Tokens, which briefly spiked to an all-time high in both Europe and North America. WoW Tokens are a World of Warcraft item that can be bought and sold for either real money or in-game gold. Because Tokens are traded on an open market, the price (in gold) fluctuates based on supply and demand. And because Destiny 2 will be purchasable with Battle.net Balance, the demand for Tokens went way up. As you can see at wowtoken.info, Token

The unique brain-implantable chip would be used for bi-directional brain computer interfaces that are intended to solve neurodegenerative disorders. As you might imagine, developing a brain-implantable chip is no easy task. ARM says its Cortex-M0 processor, the smallest processor in its arsenal currently, will be an integral part of the SoC. This will enable the person to make the desired movements when they want to, effectively overcoming their paralysis,” ARM added. And who knows, may someday
