With snow a-falling, sleigh bells a-jingling, and cookies a-baking, 'tis the season to remember the man who sacrificed his life so humanity might be saved: Saint-14. The legendary Titan of Destiny 2 died after centuries trapped fighting robots who ultimately built a machine to murder specifically him and only him, but today we can save him. As the Season Of Dawn rolls on, from today…

The next story DLC for Total War: Three Kingdoms will be a wee bit of a prequel, bringing new starts a scant eight years before the main campaign kicks off. Creative Assembly today announced Mandate Of Heaven for a January 16th launch, bringing six new factions and dozens of new units. Starting in the year 182 just before the Yellow Turban rebellion, it'll tell more…
Our Christmas charity stream is over but the fundraiser is still going
For nine hours on Monday, our vidbuds and assorted drop-in staffers hosted a festive fundraiser supporting The British Red Cross Society. They snuck around Hitman 2, competed in a Nidhogg tournament, built a home in The Sims 4, teed off in What The Golf, and it was already off the rails when Nate started a nature tour of Red Dead Redemption 2. The gang raised…
Blade Runner is back! It’s on GOG! You can buy it! It works!
Today in News I Thought I Might Never Write And Am Wholly Delighted To, we can now easily buy Westwood's 1997 Blade Runner adventure game. GOG, the virtuous vendor of vintage video games, have somehow untangled the rights and are selling it. Right now. For £7. I have already bought it and started the download. Blade Runner is one of the very rare decent movie…
While we are a PC gaming site, sooner or later we'll need to refer to Microsoft's next console and that means you'll need to know its name. Microsoft announced the name 'Xbox Series X' alongside Hellblade 2 at The Game Awards last week but it turns out that's the name of a model, not the whole line. No, continuing the fine tradition of product names…
Like a scampish nephew in a Christmas romantic comedy who keeps popping up pulling pranks on his career-obsessed spinster aunt to remind her that maybe she does want a family and children of her own after all, Destiny 2 gun Telesto has once again developed a bug making it ha-ha-hilariously overpowered. Telesto fires a spray of sticky proximity mines instead of energy zaps, see, and…

"Give the guy a gun and he's Superman," Russian playwright Pavel Chekhov said in his manifesto. "Give him two and he's God." The same is usually true in video games, except in Receiver. There, giving me even one gun turns me into a fumbling idiot, unable to shoot because I forgot the the safety off, accidentally dropping precious bullets when trying to reload... I hope…

Feature: Read all about it!
Resident Evil 3 remake, Hellblade 2, a new BioShock, and more of this week’s news
A great many games were announced this week, including a Resident Evil 3 remake, Hellblade 2, the revival of The Wolf Among Us 2, and a new BioShock. A lot of the week's news came from The Game Awards, the thinly-veiled marketing extravaganza, but not all. Read on for more of the week's PC gaming goings-on in our News Digest, and do also check out…
THQ Nordic released a Gothic remake prototype to see if fans want it
Do people want a remake of Piranha Bytes' 2001 fantasy RPG Gothic? Maybe, series owners THQ Nordic think, so they've made a prototype of a remake and last night gave it to fans to see what they think. This prototype looks all shiny and new, obviously, while also modernising other parts of the old formula. The company say that if people like this wee teaser,…
Feature: The Weekly Updates Update
Destiny 2’s new season, Rockstar’s new crimes, Truck Sim’s new truck, and more of the week’s patches
This week, Destiny 2 started a new season, Warframe added spaceship battles, Forza Horizon 4 added a battle royale mode, Red Dead Online added a bootlegging business, and American Truck Simulator added a new truck. Read on for more of the week’s PC gaming patches in The Weekly Updates Update.
Daybreak Game Company last night announced plans to shut down PlanetSide Arena on January 10th, 2020. The free-to-play battle royale FPS spun off from PlanetSide 2 launched into early access on September 19th, so that's less than four months. Daybreak say it hadn't attracted enough players to sustain the sort of large battles it's meant to. The servers will shut down, the game will become…
Feature: Well?
And there it goes, the last full moon of the year. We're getting darker and darker in the run-up to the winter solstice on the 22nd, which feels so far away right now. But you know what beams a huge amount of light right into your face? Video games. What are you playing this weekend? Here's what we're clicking on!

Oh sure the dream of the dying wild west is grand and all, but Red Dead Online now offers players a grander dream: being Veronica Lodge off Riverdale. Rockstar today launched the Moonshiners Update, letting players start their own hooch business and build up to running a speakeasy. Get a pal to pretend to be Archie, running around beating up criminals. Another mate's cutting about…
The Outer Worlds companions were mistaken for dead after falling from imaginary ladders
Party members were not being launched into space by cows then falling to their mock-deaths in The Outer Worlds, it turns out, but the truth isn't much less strange. Obsidian Entertainment last night released a big bugfix patch for their sci-fi RPG, including a fix for the problem of the game sometimes declaring you'd failed companion quests because your pal had died - even though…
Telltale’s The Wolf Among Us is free on Epic for the next week
If you've not played The Wolf Among Us and so don't quite get why folks are excited about last night's news that the sequel is back in development, good news: you can now get the original for free. It's the latest freebie offered by the Epic Games Store to overcome animosity, and it's a good'un. We declared Telltale's episodic urban fairytale detective story the best…
I like to think I'm not overly excited by shiny new technology but I must confess I am excited to see what seven years of technical progress will do for the skull-cracking, gut-unspooling, and kidney-tossing foolishness of Surgeon Simulator. Developers Bossa Studios announced Surgeon Simulator 2 last night at The Game Awards and I find myself idly daydreaming about just how wonderful and awful its…
Control is off on new adventures through a cursed jukebox in the Expeditions update
Remedy's spooky-ooky sci-fi shooter Control last night added the promised Expeditions mode, launched in the middle of The Game Awards, sending Jesse to fight through challenging combat arenas. That's the kind of trouble you'll get into when you go touching a cursed magical jukebox. If you want more spooky places to explore, a new way to get loot, and a whole lot of new violence,…

Good news: a new trailer for Ori And The Will Of The Wisps shown at The Game Awards gave more lovely little looks at the sequel to 2015's pretty-pretty metroidvania Ori And The Blind Forest. Bad news: the trailer also confirmed a one-month delay. Previously due on February 11th, 2020, it's now slated to launch on March 11th. Balanced news: it looks real nice so…
It's often grossly reductive to say a turn-based tactical squad game looks like XCOM, but Gears Tactics really does. We got our first look at the Gears Of War spin-off in motion during The Game Awards tonight and even the UI looks similar to Firaxis's triumphant streamlined tactics 'em up. Though you certainly won't mistake Gears Tactics for XCOM, what with the men built like…
The delightfully daft Fast & Furious movies are getting a new video game adaptation next year from the makers of Project Cars and Need For Speed: Shift. Fast & Furious Crossroads is its name, and doing car crimes while dodging explosions and wrecking balls is its game. F&F; is one of the few movies I worry would get less silly in a game but Slightly…
