If you can't buy the exact PC hardware you want, then why not build a custom rig that's as close to it as possible?

Thanks to our rapidly growing PC building Facebook page, we've seen many custom gaming PCs, from mods based on existing case designs to scratch PC builds. You can even submit yours for consideration right here. Here we chat to Jesse about how he made this Noctua-themed PC build. Read the rest of the story...

This post on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit just proved how small of an area the game took place in compared to a large map of Faerun. BG3’s world felt massive, but how big was it really?Almost all of Baldur’s Gate 3 took place in this small area on the Faerun mapReddit user “Lwmons” showcased this large map of Faerun on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit while encasing the area that BG3 mainly took place in with a small red box.

The battle against hackers in Call of Duty continues on, and that includes players who use unlock tools to get camos and other items in Modern Warfare 3. Activision banned over 58,000 accounts in MW3 and Warzone on April 9, according to a statement from the company, and it appears that some pro Call of Duty League talent was caught in the crossfire.

I know exactly what you’re thinking after reading this headline. Why would you go into one game expecting it to play like some other one you like? After all, it doesn’t make sense to burden it with the expectations we have from playing another, especially if it never explicitly positioned itself as a spiritual successor or anything. Something about Stellar Blade - the upcoming PS5 action RPG from developer Shift Up, however, always gave me Sekiro: Shadows **** Twice vibes, and I’d wager it has a lot to do with its parry-heavy combat. So I couldn’t help but get into the Stellar Blade demo with that mindset. Read more View the full article
Boo! After eons of silence, Bethesda has finally provided us with an update on Fallout 4's long-awaited next-gen update. It's coming later this month on April 25, an it's got some stuff in it, which I'll explain below. As outlined in a new blog post, the update is actually coming as serveal versions, all aimed at different platforms. So, wherever you're playing Fallout 4, you should be in line to benefit from your own bunch of tweaks, as well as some free Creation Club goodies. Though, sadly, the update's timing means it'll land pretty close to Fallout: London's release on April 23, so we'll have to see if that has any repercussions for the massive mod. For next-gen consoles, that's PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the update will include native applications for those devices, plus "performance mode and Quality mode settings, as well as stability improvements and fixes." Those on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will just get "stability improvements, login and quest fixes". Read more View the full article
The next chapter of Hellblade 2 is almost here, and we're already mentally preparing ourselves for the journey ahead. Senua's Saga is set to follow in its predecessor's footsteps in its representation of how the titular Pictish warrior perceives the world - both within and without. As studios push for photorealism to depict fictional worlds in which gore, *********, and brutality are commonplace, in-house mental health support services for developers and performers are more important than ever. With this in mind, I ask Ninja Theory studio head Dom Matthews and Senua actress Melina Juergens how the studio approaches taking care of its people as much as its players.

Image: Amazon It’s hard to say what, precisely, makes a design timeless. Some classic gadgets are simply beautiful, while others remain functional years after they come out. The list of truly timeless products in tech is small, but there’s one name that looms large: RobCo Industries’ Pip-Boy. Sure, it’s relatively simple, and some of its features only work if you’re stuck underground. But when a design hasn’t changed for 200 years, you know it’s doing something right. For those who have been living under an irradiated rock, a Pip-Boy is a wrist-worn computer that — despite originally being meant for the pre-war world and, later, life inside of a Vault-Tec vault — has become an indispensable tool for survival out in the wasteland. It’s large and... Continue reading… View the full article

The Fallout show is here and it's good. As Jody put it in his review, Prime TV's Fallout series is "the best Fallout since New Vegas."

Are you bursting at the seams to play more Fallout after watching the Amazon TV Series? Then have I got news for you. Obsidian's Fallout New Vegas is an RPG for the ages, and its Ultimate Edition on PC is currently down to just $5.79 at Fanatical. In our review for the Ultimate Edition, we said: "Fallout: New Vegas is the game that many wanted Fallout 3 to be. It's *******, more ruthless, better written, and more morally ambiguous. It's a game we’ve been wanting to play for more than a decade, a real modern re-imagining of the Fallout series, complete with that deliciously ****** humor. "But it's also more of the same, aesthetically and technically identical to Fallout 3, wonky facial animation and all. The ever-so-slightly aging technology only marginally detracts from what is otherwise an expansive, fulfilling, and ambitious game, unmatched in scope and maturity. If Obsidian were to make another Fallout game, we certainly wouldn't say no." It's well worth getting this version over the standard edition as it's only a few dollars more and includes every single piece of amazing DLC that was released for the game: ***** Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road. Fallout New Vegas could be the perfect game to satiate that appetite for the nuclear wasteland for now, but if you're looking for even more nifty Fallout discounts, check out the best deals we found just below as well. Score Almost Every Fallout Game for Less Than $23 The Fallout TV series is now available on Amazon Prime Video, and that means there's never been a better time in recent memory to jump back onto the Fallout hype train in full force (When is Fallout 5, Bethesda?) We gave the new TV series an 'Amazing' 9 in our review, so it's worth checking out. You can score seven Fallout games on PC for just $22.49, which includes Fallout Classic Collection (Fallout, Fallout Tactics, Fallout 2), Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 (all Steam codes). This is one of the best PC video game deals around right now, and well worth considering if you haven't played through the whole series just yet. FYI: You need to use OMEN10 to get the additional few bucks off (one-time use), otherwise the games are still discounted at $24.99. This is down from the MSRP of $139.95, which is the price that hardly anyone would've paid for this bundle, but I've got to mention it as it makes it seem like a huge discount. Fallout 76 is Currently Free for Amazon Prime Members Fallout 76 is also now free to download for PC (Windows) and Xbox, which means you can check out the game and all its free add-ons at no charge. For a more complete set of the games on Steam, consider the next deal. We've also found Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel at no cost for those who are already Amazon Prime members. It's well worth taking advantage of if you've already got most of the other games, or you just want to check out one of the classic games in the series. If you're hoping to check out even more deals, have a look at our Daily Deals roundup. There, you can see the latest and greatest discounts available across a wide variety of retailers, and there's plenty to enjoy. We also have specific roundups dedicated to the best Xbox deals, the best PlayStation deals, the best Nintendo Switch deals, and the best PC video game deals if you want to see some more platform-focused discounts on games.

Destiny 2 has once again switched its gameplay up with the introduction of a whole new game mode. Onslaught pits you and two other Guardians against waves of enemies as you battle to protect your beloved ADU, healing it as you go with batteries.
