Corsair is expanding its product line to include its first gaming chair, the T1 Race available in five different color combinations. As the name implies, Corsair’s first foray into the gaming chair market is aimed at gamers who want a racing themed rocker rather than a traditional office chair. The frame of the T1 Race is made of “solid steel” that Corsair promises will offer a “lifetime of sturdiness.” It’s not surprising to see Corsair muscle into the market for racing-themed gaming chairs. Th

Announced at GDC back in March, Fire Pro Wrestling World marks the return of the enduring decades-spanning rasslin’ series this time with Spike Chunsoft at the helm. It’s without a concrete launch date as yet, however is expected to land on PC, via Early Access, at some point in the first half of this year. And we now have an idea of what it’ll bring with it when it does. Gematsu also reports the game will include a number of new maneuvers such as the turn-around short range lariat, the pole-shi

As Andy reported last month, For Honor’s second season brings with it the Centurion and Shinobi alongside some new maps, gear overhauls and a new Faction War series. Named Shadow and Might, it’s now live and lands alongside patch v1.07—the latter of which adds a number of quality of life improvements and bug fixes. Speaking of the former, Mat previously explored what season two’s debutante classes bring to the (round) table. On the Faction War front, Ubisoft says: “With Season One of the Faction

With their scale and permanence, MMOs give us the chance to be citizens in a make-believe world we create with the help of our fellow players. How MMOs usually kill this kind of simple joyThe biggest MMOs in the world encourage everyone to follow the same path. Most MMOs are more like singleplayer games where lots of people are sharing the same play space and can sometimes team up to defeat a challenge. In the early days of Star Wars Galaxies, players and entire guilds devoted themselves to hunt

Cardboard Utopia’s deck and dick RPG Children of Zodiarcs stormed Kickstarter earlier this year by accumulating more than five times its original ask. Part of the Square Enix Collective, it’s now got a launch date—July 18—and new trailer to boot. With Children of Zodiarcs, the team is clearly moving in a different direction but being smaller in size allows it to be more personable in its approach. With that, Children of Zodiarcs aims to tell a rich story, which also breaks “away from the norm.”

Looking for a bit of extra strategy in your gaming at the moment? Do you want to conquer the world, construct wondrous cities, and be the best leader you can be? Well you’re in luck, because you can find Sid Meier’s Civilization VI for £30 / $36 this week at Bundle Stars. It’s a time limited offer though, and you’ve only got another five days or so to take advantage of it. Civilization 6 is the latest game in the long running strategy franchise, and in our review we called it “the ultimate digit

The former lead designer of Civilization 5 recently joined Paradox Development Studio to create a new grand strategy game, but he won’t talk about it yet, despite my shrewd tactic of immediately demanding of him: “Tell me all about this grand strategy game you’re working on. Luckily, Spelunky—in addition to being one of Shafer’s favorite games—is actually relevant to the design of this mysterious grand strategy game he joined Paradox to develop. “And this is something I’m actually going to be pu

Harvest Moon is coming to PC, and this time, fingers crossed, it’ll actually happen. The newly announced instalment, Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, will get its first showing at E3 next month, on both PC and Nintendo Switch (it’s coming to PS4 too, for what it’s worth). No images exist yet aside from the logo embedded above, though the following notes were in the press release:”In Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, players begin the game as they set out looking for a fresh start and new surroundings. An

Billed as a Lovecraft-inspired “replayable Metroidvania”, Sundered is the gorgeous sidescrolling fighter-platformer from Jotun developer Thunder Lotus that blew away its Kickstarter goal earlier this year. As it jumps, dives and slashes its way towards its July release, it’s now launched a new trailer as it enters its closed beta phase today. “The Resist Trailer puts Sundered’s best foot forward,” says Will Dubé, the creative director and president of Thunder Lotus Games in a statement. Sundered

Last October, Prey’s ‘The History of Transtar’ trailer explored the dark history of the Talos 1 space station, and how it was built into a world where President John F. Kennedy was not assassinated. Within, we learn that Kennedy’s administration spent decades crafting the station as an R&D facility in space, but that it was ultimately shuttered following a Typhon outbreak years later. Transtar, we learn, then took it over in 2030 and transformed it into Talos 1 as we recognise it today. In the m

Deck 13 and Focus Home Interactive’s sci-fi action role-player The Surge arrives today, having launched its launch trailer last week. Much of its promotional material up to this point has centred around its combat—which is said to borrow from From Software’s Dark Souls series. But Deck 13 has now explained that Souls series’ cousin Bloodborne is perhaps a better reference point when understanding how The Surge’s melee set-tos operate. In a recent Reddit AMA, the game’s creators were asked which

Microsoft announced an Xbox One exclusive re-make of Phantom Dust back in 2014, but things have changed since then. Firstly, the re-make was cancelled in favour of a (presumably much cheaper) remaster, and secondly, it’s no longer an Xbox One exclusive. Not only will the remaster be launching on PC, but it will be doing so this week and it’ll be free. Sure, it’s not the full blown remake we were waiting for in 2014, but then, it wasn’t coming to PC back then either. It’s a free game.

It’s tough to beat Cooler Master’s Hyper 212 Evo when it comes to inexpensive air cooling for your CPU. However, if you’re looking for an cheaper solution, Newegg today is selling its Rosewill ROCC-16003 “high performance” cooler for $16. Rosewill’s cooler requires 123.7mm x 82.8mm x 148.7mm (LxWxH) of unobstructed space. The heatpipes are flattened on the base to make direct contact with the CPU. You can grab the Rosewill ROCC-16003 cooler on sale here.

LawBreakers is having its second closed beta session this week, kicking off Thursday and running until Sunday. While that’s exciting for those with access to the beta, better still is the new playable character which will feature in it. Known as the Wraith, this cyber-ninja character can triple jump, wall jump, and “stab people with an exploding blade”. He also briefly shows off the new Reactor map, and introduces a new Blitz Ball mode. To register for the beta click over here, and to read our r

The truth is that there’s always a class that sucks, and right now that class is very clearly Warlock. There has always been a powerful Warlock deck (or three) in the meta. Prior to the release of Journey to Un’Goro, and the accompanying Standard rotation, the decline of control Warlock was fairly easy to predict. The Warlock Quest is more or less unplayable. This has left the Quest deck in a weird midrange zone, an area in which the class has never really excelled.

Chinese conglomerate Tencent has been getting a lot of attention lately for what appears to be aggressive moves to boost its profile among gamers in, and outside of, its home country. But even by those standards, this new venture sounds big: As reported by Tuwan Esports, the company has announced plans to build an “esports themed industrial park” in the city of Wuhu. The Google translation of the original announcement is predictably rough, but it jibes with TechNode’s report that the “esports to

My initial thought, upon reading the name of the new Paragon update, was that it was a joke, or maybe that I’d clicked on the wrong link. Naturally, Phase can deal damage on her own, but her true strength lies in her ability to boost the powers of her teammates. The Age of Intellect also includes 36 card updates, with “several reworks of niche cards alongside updated functionality and balance across the full library,” Epic said. This release continues our trend of updating the existing card set

Offering more cores for less money, Ryzen is the first AMD CPU since Sledgehammer (K8) in 2004 to seriously challenge Intel’s best. The Ryzen 9 CPUs will use some derivative of AMD’s Naples server product, only with half the cores (two Ryzen CPU die per package instead of four die). Going forward, all the enthusiast chips could now sit in the first class Core i9 cabin. At the same $330 price, however, Ryzen 7-1700 against the i7-7700K lets AMD smoke Intel in multi-threaded workloads like video e

This is why many pros are unhappy at being asked to play high-profile tournament qualifiers in venues that include Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants. Nice venues @HSesports LULMay 9, 2017“I won’t be playing at a Buffalo Wild Wings, thank god there isn’t one in Stockholm,” Engwall continued.

We asked some of the most prominent Steam collectors on SteamDB’s leaderboard what drives them, and as it turns out, their motivations are just as varied as their libraries. Seph’s Steam library now sits at more than 9,600 games, 40 percent of which he has hasn’t touched according to his SteamDB profile . The toll of collectingBy buying games only when they’re on deep discount or part of a cheap bundle, collecting Steam games doesn’t have to cost the world. Hyptronic, too, has had to cut back in
