If there’s one thing millions of us hate for a reason we can’t quite pin down, it’s spiders. I’m sure there’s something about the way brain signals bounce around my synapses that makes me uncomfortable just looking at them, but I could do with not knowing the specifics, as dealing with surprise spiders in the home is enough. Imagine then, if you will, a game where you take on these arachnid foes as they control the entire space-time continuum. This is Kill It With Fire 2, out today. At least we can bring friends along.

Somehow, FTL, one of the best roguelikes to ever hit PC, manages to make panic and terror feel fun. The engines are on fire. There are pirates on the starboard bow. You can’t find a wrench. It’s this chaos and calamity that defines a true space game - a pseudo simulation of the clutchest moments from Star Trek, Star Wars, and all their contemporaries. Taking a couple of cues from No Man’s Sky and picking up some of the slack from Starfield, a new co-op shooter, set in the far reaches of the galaxy, is shaping up to be one of the most promising new games of 2024, and it’s just picked up a stag ..read more

The MSI Claw turned heads upon its reveal, given that it was the first mainstream Intel-powered handheld gaming PC. Now that it's out in the wild, the reception has been frosty, but many are putting this down to poor optimization. Now, the AOKZOE A2 Ultra will show us who was truly at fault for the early failures of the Claw A1M. With specs that should see it become one of the best handheld gaming PCs, the AOKZOE A2 Ultra has been touted for a while now, but it's confirmed to be powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H. This is the same chip powering the higher-spec models of the ..read more

Half-Life is the essential PC shooter. Valve’s game is the FPS that launched a thousand imitators, as it blends unique immersive storytelling with some of the tightest weapon controls ever put to screen. After playing Half-Life for myself it’s tempting to say the shooter hasn’t aged a day, but it has. This is why the fan remake, Black Mesa, is such a standout alternative and follow-up to Valve’s original. If you’re yet to play it or think it’s time for a replay then I’ve got good news, as Black Mesa just got a massive update, and the game is currently 80% off too. Continue reading Half-Life r ..read more

Getting a free copy of AIDA64 bundled with your high-end CPU cooler seems like a welcome freebie, particularly when the software can provide data to the LCD panel on your new purchase.

With Armored Core taking up the gritty side of the mecha genre, it’s up to Roboquest to fill the niche of more colourful mecha adventures. The game offers a similarly huge variety of weapons to its gritter cousin, but delivers the hurt in a much more cartoony environment, contrasting its high-speed movement and gunplay. Since releasing in November last year, the game has received its first major content drop in the form of the Arsenal Update. As the name suggests, the Arsenal Update’s main attraction is its addition of nine brand-new weapons to the roguelite shooter. Continue reading Roguelit ..read more
