OLED gaming monitors have finally gotten so good that a Counter-Strike 2 tournament is using one

I've been watching the ascent of OLED with a very keen eye, primarily because as a Counter-Strike 2 gamer, I know just how promising OLEDs will be for competitive gaming. And now it seems we're at the point where they've gotten good enough in specific ways to be the official panel tech of choice in an official CS2 Majo...

Be Quiet! Light Mount TKL review

My prime PC gaming hours tend to be when the rest of my household is already in bed. As such, the fantastically clicky-clacky key presses of a mechanical gaming keyboard echoing through our halls isn't really ideal. It's just as well then that Be Quiet! is back with a welcome update to the very nearly silent keyboard I...

Clipmatrix is a Counter-Strike-like, bunny hopping, platforming romp through surreal and industrial locales

A thing that always tickles me in a particular way is when a game takes a beloved mechanic from an iconic game that doesn't technically exist. By not existing I'm talking about something like wavedashing in Super Smash Bros. Melee. You can't play that game professionally without doing it, and yet it's just an exploit a...

Razer Naga V3 Pro review

Razer's Naga series has always been a bit eye-catching. Slapping tens of buttons on a gaming mouse will naturally make it stand out in the looks department, but having owned two Nagas in my lifetime, I can see it only really takes an evening to get why people love 'em. MMOs are notorious for demanding lots of shortcuts...

Steam Week in Review: Here are the 32 Steam games brave enough to release on GTA 6 day

Lord of Undead is a "grim" third-person RPG about building an army of vicious zombies in order to maliciously raze the villages of mortals. The goal is to defeat peace and innocence, all the better for evil to prevail. You also get to build houses. It sounds pretty fun and, as far as I can tell, it's the second most po...

Thimbleweed Park 2 is happening because Ron Gilbert's friend knows a rich guy who's a big fan of the original and wanted more

BloombergHave you ever said to yourself, 'If I was rich I'd get Looking Glass Studios back together and have them make a proper goddamn Thief sequel!'? Or, you know, whatever game gets you really wound up about such things. It's a pleasant fantasy, but not something that ever actually happensβ€”except, apparently, in the...

Asus ROG Harpe II Extreme Edition 20 review

Asus's ROG 20th anniversary edition gear is pretty much all about extravagance. Just look at the $600 Azoth Extreme Edition 20. The Harpe II Extreme Edition 20 is much the same, with gold plating and a whopping 65,000 DPI. It is bougie in feel, look, and price. I couldn't possibly call it a bad gaming mouse, because ta...

Pulsar Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition review

Would you believe me if I told you the Pulsar Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition is actually the second gaming mouse with a fan I've tried? Back in 2021, I had the unique experience of getting my clammy mitts on the Marsback Zephyr Pro, and I was… a fan.But I can comfortably say that Pulsar's Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition is th...

Steam Week in Review: Games about sorting 1000s of mundane objects onto shelves is the new craze sweeping PC gaming

Games about cleaning are the rage. The recent success of House Flipper, Power Wash Simulator and Unpacking demonstrates there's a mainstream-sized appetite among PC gamers for making messy places neat and tidy.
