And it's one of the big boys... God of War January 2022! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1593500/God_of_War/

The game came out 10 years ago and as a fan of noir storytelling, I pre-ordered it on Xbox 360 and had a blast playing the game. It's sat unplayed in my Steam library for a while though, as have most games to be fair. I was feeling nostalgic for how the protagonist, Cole, was overly...

It has been noted on this forum that I have a stupidly big Steam library (2,390 games and counting!), and I have also been quite open that I enjoy most sports. I don't really have the hand/eye co-ordination to be any good at the games that require you to actually do the sport, but I've always...

I don't have HWMonitor open all that often, but playing a new release (the quite pretty Lake), I noticed the case was kinda warm, so opened it up. My RTX 3080 was probably the hottest it's ever been. All the other temps seem fine, but that GPU temps, especially the memory temp topping 100 is a...

I was aware of the game on its release in 2005 and while I was intrigued by the premise of exploring people's minds, I wasn't really into platform games at the time, so I didn't bother playing it. I looked into trying the game a few years back, but I seem to remember the game was really...

Not sure if you believe in omens or fate or whatever, but the original Max Payne release date was 20 years ago today - it's official, this game is going to be awesome!

As well as trying not to pre-order games, I typically don't buy Early Access games as I've been burned a few times by buying a game only for it to be abandoned long before it's finished. That being said, every so often a game grabs my attention. This post is pretty much just for myself as a...

I got home from work the other night to find out that the workmen who are digging up our drive have severed our phone cable, taking our telephone, TV and internet out in one fell swoop. Later that evening, my brother told us all he's tested positive for COVID. We're now self-isolating in the...

Of the various games unveiled at E3 today, I'm probably most excited for STALKER 2. The original game Shadow of Chernobyl was full of great ideas, but the delivery lacked a little extra polish that a bigger budget could have delivered, still serves up a nice spooky experience. The next two games...

I've said for a while that the fact that video games have become a mainstream entertainment medium similar to the way movies have been for decades is overall a good thing, despite what it's doing to the companies at the top of the pile. Gaming is following in the footsteps of movies in that...

Having decided to get back into Tomb Raider, I started playing Rise of the Tomb Raider after work, and I can say that I have now got at least 1 Steam achievement in 666 different games. Who says that I don't have a life?!

I know that for HDDs, the recommendation is to leave 15% to 20% free so the drive can be defragged and all that fun stuff, but I was wondering how much should be left free on an SSD? Googling the issue seems to suggest it's down to opinion, as every site seems to say different things. I have a...

As somebody witha ridiculously huge Steam library (2,267 games and counting!), I probably own a lot of games that maybe aren't so well known, but should be given a go by more people. I'm going to use this thread to recommend some of those games that I've come across and spread the word about the...

I've long championed PC Building Simulator as a game everybody on here should own - I tried giving away my spare copy of the game through the game giveaway thread for long enough! The most recent update for the game is a prime example of why people should give it a go - it contains...

I've mentioned on here that I typically have a pile of games on the go at once (10 to 15 games is usual for me!), and I usually choose the game I play according to my mood. Work was pretty tough today, so I'm in the mood to get violent, and that means it's going to be Wolfenstein: The New Order...

Played the game for a while this evening after pre-ordering it. The game has definitely improved since launch, and more improvements on the way: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/700600/view/3075372026646882933

Decided I'd had enough of GTA5, so uninstalled it and decided to give Control a go. Once the raytracing and stuff kicks in...oh my god what even are these visuals? WOW - this is a stunning if mental game!

I realised earlier that I basically only post in the Video Games bit of the forum and have only just realised we have a food section! I cooked for the family tonight, and so far, there hasn't been an outbreak of food poisoning - still only early I guess though. I made a cheesy ham and potato...

When I first got my PC, the internet was super fast :D - my bedroom is at the front of the house and the router is in the living room at the back of the house, but the wifi connection is pretty decent. The week of Christmas, we moved a signal booster from the dining room, which is out of the way...

In honour(?) of my RMA'd PC being able to be delivered at almost any minute, I'm sorely tempted to buy the Yakuza Remastered collection on Steam. I loved the hell out of Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami runs a little sluggish on my laptop, but was fine when I gave it a go on the PC before the problems...
