Home • PC Game Reviews • Dragon Age: Inquisition • 218 Unexpected Adam Smith former Deputy Editor 17th November 2014 / 2:00PM Dragon Age: Inquisition might just be my favourite game released this year. Considering my expectations and relationship with recent BioWare games, that’s about as likely as Saturday night’s soggy kebab being my favourite meal of the year. I’ve spent almost sixty hours uncovering as much of Inquisition’s enormous open world and intricate story as possible, and as soon as I have a few days free, I’ll be spending another sixty or eighty hours seeing it all through new eyes. Before digging into the details, here’s an overview of what Inquisition does. What is the base of the game that I’m so enthusiastic about. It’s a sprawling, well-crafted story, with an intelligent approach to its world-building and the inclusion of player choice in the deconstruction and reconstruction of that … [Read more...] about Wot I Think: Dragon Age – Inquisition

Home • GTFO • Do panic Matt Cox Staff Writer 9th December 2019 / 11:00AM I’m surrounded by three people, each trapped in a vertical cot. We’re staring at each other from respective cages as we plunge into the depths of our prison, having been pressganged into resolving the warden’s monster problem. It won’t be long until we’re at each others’ side, tiptoing past sleeping abominations. It won’t be much longer until we’re screaming and scurrying away, after one of us wakes them up. I’m playing co-operative survival horror game GTFO at a preview event in Copenhagen. The wholesome lights of the Christmas market I just walked through outside contrast with the virtual gloom and steel that now surrounds us, as well as the assault rifle I’ve chosen to deal with its denizens. Bullets are scarce, and supposed to be something of a last resort. We burn through a lot of ammo in the first room. We start next to at … [Read more...] about Hands on with GTFO, the best way to panic as a group since Killing Floor

Home • PC Game Hardware • 32 Sound the alarm Katharine Castle Hardware Editor 7th November 2017 / 5:00PM Trying to find a comfortable pair of headphones has become a war of attrition for me over the last couple of years. Either I have the world’s most sensitive skull, or my head’s unbeknowingly shaped like a Minecraft block beneath my hair, as every over-ear headset I’ve used has only brought me pain and cranial-based misery. They’re always innocent enough to start off with, but somewhere around the 30-45 minute mark, the dreaded head pinch begins, and those pesky headbands start sinking their tiny little teeth into the top of my head. After an hour, I’ve usually had enough, which obviously isn’t ideal if I want to spend a lazy Saturday playing games, or co-ordinate my weekly dose of Destiny 2 with my trusty fire squad. Alas, Sennheiser’s GSP 350 barely made it to half an hour before I had to start shuffling them … [Read more...] about Sennheiser GSP 350 review: great surround sound for just over £100

Home • PC Game News • Age of Empires IV • 23 Alice O'Connor News Editor 14th November 2019 / 10:28PM Today’s a big day for Age Of Empires. A revamped version of the second game launched this afternoon (and it’s still jolly nice, our Nate said in his Age Of Empires 2 Definitive Edition review) then tonight we got a first look at the all-new Age Of Empires 4. It’s set in the medieval era and ooh, I do quite like how that old cartoony look is being translated to modern 3D. Have a look for yourself. Once again, it’ll draw together civilisations from across the world to throw down in real-time strategy action. And… we don’t know much about it. That trailer reveals the Mongols and the English but specifics of how 4 may or may not change the classic formula are a mystery. Age Of Empires 4 is being made by Relic Entertainment, the studio behind the Company Of Heroes and Warhammer 40K: Dawn Of War games, so it would almost … [Read more...] about Age Of Empires 4 trailer shows off its medieval setting

Home • PC Game Hardware • 14 Super charged ray tracing Katharine Castle Hardware Editor 23rd July 2019 / 2:00PM It seems like an eternity has passed since the initial launch of Nvidia’s RTX Super cards, but here we are at last with the final GPU in the trilogy, the RTX 2080 Super. It’s still not the most powerful graphics card in Nvidia’s RTX arsenal – that honour continues to be held by the RTX 2080 Ti – but compared to the rest of Nvidia’s real-time ray tracing machines, the RTX 2080 Super is definitely a much more straightforward proposition than either of its Super siblings, the RTX 2060 Super or RTX 2070 Super. For starters, this is intended to replace the RTX 2080 rather than sit alongside it, and Nvidia say it’s also meant to deliver up to 10% more performance for the same price. In fact, if you compare the cost of Nvidia’s two Founders Edition cards, the £669 / $699 RTX 2080 Super actually comes … [Read more...] about Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super review: Faster 4K for no extra cost
