Alan Wake 2's PC specs are here - and they're as scary as the game itself

Offering minimum, recommended, and ultra specs – as well as what you'll get if you select low, medium, and high ray tracing settings – players can assess how their machines will fare when running the PC version… and it certainly seems that you'll need a pretty powerful rig just to run it, let alone max out the performance. The requirements, which were posted to its social media channels ove...

EA Sports FC 24 has disabled the perk that lets you stick a football to your calf

EA has disabled an EA Sports FC 24 perk in order to address a glitch that was giving some players an unfair in-game advantage. The newly-discovered glitch in the soccer sim popped up earlier in the week, allowing dribblers with the Trickster Playstyle to attach the ball to their calf and then simply run into the opposition's net to score. After first acknowledging the glitch was a problem, EA has now confirmed that it has "temporarily removed" the FUT perk to prevent players from exploiting the ...

Review: Harvest Moon: The Winds Of Anthos - Terrible Title, Pretty Alright Game

Harvest Dew. If the 'Uncanny Valley' is the term for something being almost-human-but-not-qui​te, then Harvest Moon: Winds of Anthos is in the Uncanny Stardew Valley. It's so close to being a really good farming sim game, but doesn't quite manage to hit the mark. However, for the first time in the turbulent and confusing history of Natsume's Harvest Moon games, it's actually... fun. The story is the same old, same old: the Harvest Goddess disappears after some catastrophic geographical event, and...

iRobot's Roomba s9+ robot vacuum is down to its best price yet
