It’s been a year of mid-range GPU releases, with both Nvidia and AMD coming out swinging in the battle for the middle of the market. The mid-range cards from both these manufacturers are still fairly new, but we’ve found both the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB and RX 7700 XT at relatively substantial discounts, which makes it tempting for those of you looking for an inexpensive upgrade, or a new system build, to make the leap.
The question is, however, which to pick? Let’s break down what we’ve got here, and see if we can make a decision.
First up, let’s take a look at the MSI Ventus RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, currently available for just under $360 with a promotional code and $20 rebate. For a start, it’s a very healthy discount on such a new GPU, and while there was some furore over the 8GB varian…
Read moreI’m just now getting to know Minthara in Baldur’s Gate 3—both on my evil necromancer playthrough and my Honour Mode run, where I intend to pick her up from Moonrise Towers after risking my neck to knock her out.
Still, I’ve cast off the shackles of spoilers after completing my first playthrough—gleefully getting my mitts on whatever details I can about my future drow bestie—which makes this a good point to mention that there’ll be spoilers for Minthara’s full plot line below.
In a recent interview with IGN, Larian CEO Swen Vincke and co-lead writer Adam Smith discussed her character arc and the nature of evil, and they come to a conclusion I find genuinely fascinating: Minthara may grow to adore her compatriots, but she’s still evil with …

Read moreWhen Mossmouth announced the price for UFO 50 it came as a pleasant surprise. The game famously contains 50 games—hence the name—so it’s reasonable to expect a higher price than average for a new release indie game, especially one that’s been in development for eight years. But no: it’s priced at $25.
I noticed a lot of people in forums and on social media were pleased and surprised about this, so I figured I’d ask the team during a recent interview what the thinking behind the price was. There had clearly been a lot of thinking behind it, ranging from the potential difficulty of selling it for more, through to the team’s desire to surprise the player with unexpected depth—in the same way Hollow Knight perhaps did back in 2017, or Elden Ring in 2022.

With Bethesda finishing up Starfield for a September 2023 release, and with The Elder Scrolls 6 still waiting in the wings, it’s safe to say we won’t see Fallout 5 for another… eight years? 10 years? Maybe more?
That’s what makes Fallout: London such an exciting prospect for impatient Fallout fans. The full-conversion Fallout 4 mod will take players out of the United States and across the Atlantic to merry old England, where they’ll experience weaponized elephants, murderous mailboxes, and radshrew-filled tube stations.
(Unfortunately, plans for ghoulified royals King Charles and Queen Elizabeth in the mod were scrapped.)
The Fallout: London mod is due out sometime this year, but you don’t have to wait any longer to get a taste. The mo…
Read moreGosh, but isn’t Limited Run Games on a tear? The company’s announced a remaster of your favourite PS1 demo and a spiritual successor to a series of Zelda games that was probably better off dead, but that’s just not enough. Alongside all that, we’re also getting a remaster of, wait, hang on, let me make sure I have this right, Gex? Yes, it says here the studio’s remastering Gex. Do you ever get the feeling the world’s left you behind?
LRG is set to remaster the entire Gex oeuvre, consisting of 1995’s Gex, 1998’s Gex: Enter the Gecko, and 1999’s Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. All three are probably most well-known as PS1 games—though they came out elsewhere too—and starred a wisecracking lizard-slash-spy as he platformed his way to victory. The first game was a 2D aff…
