How do you update the Steam Deck? The Steam Deck is an amazing piece of hardware, capable of being not only a great PC gaming handheld, but a powerful desktop PC too. Like with any of the best gaming handhelds, the Steam Deck needs the occasional update to help fix any bugs or glitches within the system, or just give it a well-needed sprucing up. Updating to the latest software is an important step to keeping your handheld performing the way it should, and so you can get the most out of your PC ...

With Resident Evil, RE2, RE3, the original Resident Evil 4, and even the likes of Dino Crisis and its sequel under his belt, it’s not surprising that The Evil Within isn’t the first Shinji Mikami survival horror game that most people would name. But that doesn’t make it any less valuable, and if you enjoyed his other work or the genre in general, I’d mark The Evil Within as a game you owe it to yourself to try - and it’s a free game right now, so don’t miss your chance.

What good are AI-powered processors without apps that take full advantage of them? That seems to be the question Intel has been asking itself lately.

Those processors, which are due to arrived on December 14th, are notable for being the company's first to include a neural processing unit (NPU...

Samsung was the first manufacturer to make a proper foldable phone, but it’s gotten a bit complacent. Now OnePlus is releasing its first phone with a flexible screen and it’s already giving the Galaxy Z Fold 5 a run for its money. Not only does the Open pack larger displays, both inside and out, it's also thinner and lighter. That is, as long as you don’t count its massive camera module. And with its Open Canvas software, OnePlus is taking a novel approach to multitasking that makes it super fas...

I've been a remote worker in the cybersecurity industry since December 2019, working ungodly amounts of time on both sides of the Atlantic from a battery of various office chairs. The sound of dry spaghetti snapping? Oh, that's just me standing up after a day of work. Fast forward to around three weeks ago when I was asked to review the Flexispot C7 ergonomic office chair. Promising both lumbar relief and comfort at a solid price point, I put it through the proverbial wringer with endless Micros...

I guess you could say that of all games though, really.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder isn't even out yet, but it's safe to say Elephant Mario has already stolen the show for most of us. Donlan summed it up in his Super Mario Bros. Wonder review for us: "But Elephant Mario is the star. What a guy." Nintendo seemingly knew Elephant Mario would be a big hit with fans, as there's already a plush in the works by regular official collaborator Sanei Bokei, due for release in January 2024.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is almost here – less than 24 hours to go until its October 20 launch exclusively on PlayStation 5. We loved the game – you can read Game Informer's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 review here – and we're excited to hear what our audience thinks of it. We've got plenty of spoiler-free Marvel's Spider-Man 2 tips for you to read before you start your next spidey adventure, but here, I want to discuss what I think is the best graphics mode in the game.  Now, before diving deep into the ...

Stellaris is one of the defining space strategy games. Carrying the 4X formula, as laid down by classics like Civilization 6 and Europa Universalis, into the far reaches of the galaxy, it mixes hardcore tactics with glorious sci-fi visuals. But there’s another stone-cold classic of PC gaming to rival Stellaris, and it feels apt that it should launch now, hot on the heels of Bethesda’s Starfield. After a lengthy time in Steam Early Access, Galactic Civilizations 4, one of the icons of strategy ga...

PI(kachu). The latest Japanese charts are in from Famitsu (via Gematsu) and while not quite as impressive a surge as last week, Detective Pikachu Returns once again finds itself at the top of the physical software pile with another 16,248 copies sold. Pikmin 4 just misses out on reclaiming the gold medal this time as it edges ever closer to the one million mark and The Game of Life For Nintendo Switch continues to perform well, shifting a further 13,443 copies in its second week.

Arise, my champion.

Is Cities Skylines 2 Steam Deck compatible? Constructing a great city-building experience on the Steam Deck shouldn't be a difficult process, but the city-building sequel by Paradox Interactive hasn't yet been checked for compatibility. However, Valve has deemed its predecessor as playable, which bodes well for the performance of Cities Skylines 2 on the PC gaming handheld. The Cities Skylines 2 system requirements require 50GB of install space before you start living out your city-building drea...

He believes Apple will offer a combination of cloud-based AI and so-called "edge A...

Star Wars Battlefront offers grand-scale conflict among the stars and planetary ground battles to boot. But what if you incorporated the strategic elements of games like Starcraft and Command & Conquer? That’s exactly what Executive Assault 2, the latest blend of RTS and FPS games, does in style.

"We are defenders of the night! We are Gargoyles!". Back in the mid-to-late '90s, Disney produced a cartoon called Gargoyles that stood out quite a bit from other shows in the animated landscape. Featuring a serialized storytelling format, rich lore, and a rather dark tone, it quickly gained a cult following across its run, though it never garnered a large enough fanbase that would allow it to blossom into a massive franchise for the House of Mouse. At the height of the show’s popularity, a vide...
