It’s no giant computer gun, but the Formula 1 is exactly what it purports to be, a Formula 1 race car—but a computer. It’s an impressive assembly of vehicular handiwork, cons

Our partner, Gearbox Publishing, unfortunately decided to publicly publish a letter with a list of ultimatums, without consulting us about the truth of the allegations made by John Bain,” G2A wrote. Especially since all of the requests made of G2A.com in the ultimatum have in fact long been part of our marketplace.” Gearbox’s first demand was that G2A Shield, essentially a fraud protection service that’s available on a per-purchase or subscription basis, be made free for everyone—something G2A d

Overwatch’s new event, Insurrection, has leaked via an upload to the French PlayStation YouTube channel. The video has now been taken down (update: we found a mirror), but not before we grabbed some screenshots. This time around, players will take control of four of Overwatch’s early members—Reinhardt, Tracer, Torbjörn, and Mercy—and battle the Omnic insurgency known as Null Sector on the streets of King’s Row. In the Overwatch mythos, this PvE event is known as the King’s Row Uprising, and took

What the hell do convenience stores have to do with Japanese PC games? The modern era of Japanese PC games really began in 2010, with a charming indie sim about running an item shop and a large dump of classic Sega ROMs. So that’s the how of Japanese PC gaming finally catching onto Steam’s massive popularity and gaining a foothold in the West. There’s no single answer, but the basic problem is how few people play PC games in Japan (and how few people own PCs, period). The reasons behind that—the

Three years ago, shortly after I started working at PC Gamer, I wanted to write something big about Japanese games on PC. It seemed like the unthinkable was happening, and I wanted to write about this seeming turning point for Japanese games on PC. So I picked up my idea to write about the successes of Japanese games on PC and talked to more developers and translators and producers. Instead of one story, we decided to write a whole week of them: every day this week we’ll have a couple features a

It has two DDR4 DIMM slots, a single PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot, and two PCI-Express 2.0 x1 slots for expansion cards. Guru3D obtained a few basic details on the other four boards, including MSI’s A320M Gaming Pro, A320M Bazooka, A320M Pro VD, and A320M Pro VD/S. The A320M Gaming Pro is part of MSI’s Performance Gaming line and features the most bling. Beyond the aesthetics, the A320M Gaming Pro has a Turbo M.2 slot, USB 3.1 connectivity, “and much more.” Each one offers up a single PCI-Express x1

Finally, we can all follow through on our mad Leon Kennedy crushes from over a decade ago. Resident Evil 4: Otome Edition is a fan-made visual novel told from Ashley Graham’s perspective, tracing her adventure from kidnapping to crushing hard on Kennedy (and, surprise, some cultists). Using screenshots from the game, plus some original art and UI elements, Ashley narrates the early moments of Resident Evil 4, coloring old experiences in a goofy light. The ridiculous plot actually jives with Resi

For most setups, a 1,200W power supply is all kinds of overkill. But if you’re running multiple graphics cards, oodles of storage devices, a liquid cooling pump, and trying to power a small city, perhaps an argument could be made for such excess. If you’re able to win that argument with yourself, you can head over to Newegg and snag yourself a Corsair AX1200i digital PSU for $250 (after mail-in-rebate). On top of that, there is a $30 mail-in-rebate available, so once that is collected (in the fo

Beginning tomorrow and running through April 18, the ZeniMax MMO Elder Scrolls Online will be offering a week of free play, with unrestricted access to the full Tamriel Unlimited base game, plus 500 Crowns that can be spent in the in-game store on pets, costumes, boosters, or whatever your heart desires. Both TESO: Tamriel Unlimited and TESO: Gold Editon, which includes the base game and the Imperial City, Orsinium, Thieves Guild, and Dark Brotherhood expansions, will be on sale during the free

At long last, Microsoft will begin dishing out its Creators Update for Windows 10 to the masses beginning tomorrow, April 11. Just be sure to pay attention to the privacy settings during installation. TomsHardware reports that when upgrading manually using Microsoft’s Windows 10 Update Assistant, your privacy settings will revert back to their default values. However, if you wait until tomorrow and apply the upgrade through Windows Update, Microsoft will respect your current privacy settings and

Since entering Early Access on March 23, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has remained atop the Steam global top seller’s list, drawing a peak crowd of 89,000 concurrent players. It has also crossed the million sales mark this week, according to this morning’s press release. “As we move to make improvements and deliver new content we will actively engage this growing fan base.” We’ve covered Battlegrounds extensively, including our list of what we’d like to see from the battle royale shooter as it

Billed as the “flagship star” of its Omen HP range, the OMEN X is pretty stunning piece of kit. But besides its uber-cool look, HP’s latest gaming desktop packs a powerful punch with top-mounted exhaust vents, three 120mm radiators and an innovative tri-chamber design that separates the GPU, hard drives, and power supply into three chambers, with dedicated cooling in each. As the main sponsor of the PC Gamer Weekender, we caught up with HP at the PCGW studio and took a peek inside the OMEN X’s h

Minecraft will launch a new online store designed to promote played-created adventure maps, texture packs and skins at some stage this spring. Exclusive to mobile and Windows 10 versions of the game, the new Minecraft Marketplace will be introduced alongside its 1.1 Discovery update that’s due in the coming weeks. Price-wise, Microsoft reckons Minecraft Coins will cost around $1.99 for 300 coins, $4.99 for 840 coins, and $9.99 for 1,720 coins, however haven’t yet suggested how that’ll translate

Between its in-game picketing, seasonally-themed events and dedication to troll rehabilitation, PearlAbyss’ Black Desert Online is brimming with interesting stories—even if it’s a little unconventional in its execution. Over the coming weeks, the quirky MMO will welcome Vell to its bounds—a “fearsome, gigantic sea monster” that lives in the recently added Margoria area. Incoming updates will also overhaul Black Desert Online’s UI and Guild system, while a new Skill Promotion System will let play

EVE Online’s Project Discovery is a story of how gaming communities can band together to solve real-world problems. At Fanfest, the annual gathering of the EVE Online community, developer CCP Games revealed more about the project, which was initially announced in February. The man leading the project is Michel Mayor, the first scientist to discover an exoplanet, who appeared on stage in Iceland to drum up some enthusiasm with players. For more, check out the stream of the evening’s action below

Despite being protected by both its Origin platform and Denuvo, Mass Effect: Andromeda was cracked by pirates less than two weeks after its release. The space-faring role-player’s latest patch—which, among other things, targets the vanilla game’s questionable eye design—comes packing the newest version of Denuvo, which comes with its latest, as yet uncrackable anti-tamper tech. As reported by DSO Gaming, Mass Effect: Andromeda’s 1.05 update patch notes don’t mention the newly installed version o

Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation—a game about carefully lining up thousands of robotic units and then smashing them together in an explosion tiny lasers—has been given a massive update. It was released last November as an expansion to Stardock’s Ashes of the Singularity, which was a solid RTS, and the two were rolled into a single package earlier this year. Chief among them is the new replay feature, which players have been demanding for a while. The maps were one of the weakest aspects of t

(Image: © Double Fine)Double Fine staff are currently on a two-week break from their regular jobs. But far from having their feet up, they’ve been hard at work crafting new ideas for the studio’s next big project as part of Amnesia Fortnight, the company’s prototype game jam. The idea is to free up developers to pitch ideas for new games, let the public vote on the best ones, and then produce working prototypes. In The Gods Must be Hungry, “warrior chefs” fight for the best groceries and make me

State of Decay, the actually-pretty-decent open world zombie survival game, is getting a sequel later this year. Much like the original, State of Decay 2 will feature open world gameplay, but in a new blogpost Undead Labs has announced it will be approaching things a little differently. Instead of just one open world, the sequel will feature three at launch. Each of these maps, so says the blogpost, will be “roughly” the size of the map found in the original game. They’ll each feature “slightly

I’m hoping that Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom will be an answer of sorts: it’s an old-fashioned and colourful adventure that seems a little bit Tales Of, a little bit Naruto, and that looks like it might scratch that ‘light-hearted JRPG’ itch that was so well-served on PS2 and PS3. We brought you the release date a couple of weeks ago (April 18! ), but if you want to get to know your rag-tag band of adventurers before then, a new trailer has arrived to do just that. Joining dogboy hero Chado is
