Intel's new high-end mobile chip is an impressive game-cruncher, but I don't think proper gaming laptops should worry just yet
I am fully prepared to debate the term "proper".

A major step towards a Hytale battle royale, a talented modder has designed a Fortnite-style storm, and it's suitably purple.
Today I became aware of Bolt Action, a historical strategy sim based on the World War II tabletop miniatures game from Warlord Games (founded by erstwhile Games Workshop staffers John Stallard and Paul Sawyer). It sees you fretting over questions of morale, line-of-sight and cover, while leading US, British or German armies across maps that range from beaches to churchyards. There’s multiplayer, too. Trailer ho! Read more
The loot progression in RIP, or Reincarnation Insurance Program, reminds me of Diablo, but the AI disclosure on Steam gives me pause.
Don't go blaming your PC if you can't connect to Highguard without checking whether the servers are actually up and running first.
Against the overbearing weight of modernity, Old School RuneScape continues to complete a Sisyphean task of simply existing two and a half decades after it originally launched. It just celebrated that 25th anniversary at the start of the year in fact, and now during a Winter Summit a slew of updates coming to the MMO were shown off in a roadmap from developer Jagex.

A group of modders wearing the finest reverse-engineering goggles has managed to port birdly and beary platformer Banjo-Kazooie to PC, with a bunch of extra bells and whistles to make sure it won't make for a disappointing dip back into your childhood or adulthood. Their creation's dubbed Banjo: Recompiled, and it dropped over the weekend. Read more
Digimon Story Time Stranger took me away from Pokémon card collecting, offering an excellent Persona-style RPG adventure - and it could be yours for a dollar.
There's still no release date, but I like what I'm hearing.
The ongoing absence of Starfield's long-rumored overhaul is very unusual, so allegations of Bethesda 'weirdness' seem plausible.
Our pick of the top Project Zomboid mods includes new gameplay mechanics, additional weapons, and simple UI changes to aid your survival.
My word.
Per aspera ad nowhere.
I like Hytale. I like how it plays smoother and weightier than Minecraft, while matching the explorative highs of creeping through an infested cave or stumbling upon some ancient, unplundered ruin. I like how it runs on the Steam Deck without trying to. And I like the pace at which it’s being updated: one substantial patch per week, at the current rate. You could argue, fairly, that regular content injections are vital for an early access game that’s accessible as early as Hytale is
Nicht zum ersten Mal, aber doch sehr prominent drÀngt sich derzeit ein Urproblem der Geografie ins Bewusstsein: FlÀchen auf Karten, die ein falsches Bild des Planeten vermitteln.

Team Headset oder Team Lautsprecher? FĂŒr letztere haben wir einen Tipp, wenn ihr unter Platzmangel auf dem Schreibtisch oder im Regal leidet.
Back in 2022, Winnie The Pooh entered the public domain in the USA, meaning that any denizen of that nation can publish work featuring the OG incarnation of A.A. Milne’s honey-supping woodland bear (the UK copyright expires in 2027). At some point in the future, once the newly founded Poohlike genre has matured, we can surely expect a renaissance of Winnie derivatives, ranging from erasure Pooh-ems through josei anime interpretations to Kaufman-ass Hundred Acre existentialism. Right now,
Resident Evil Requiem director Akifumi Nakanishi has said the imminent sequel is "almost equally split" between its two protagonists, stealthy newcomer Grace and returning mass zombie murderer Leon S. Kennedy. After playing a few hours at Capcom HQ, a chapter that apparently follows on immediately from the pure horror hag-dodging that Edwin endured, I’m hoping that’s an imperfect translation - Leon’s gun fu action brawls can mesh surprisingly well with Grace’s spook 'n'
