In worrying news for gamers, yet another burned-out Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 cable has been reported. While the GPU power port itself seems undamaged, a burned-out MSI cable, specifically designed to help ensure a firm and fully seated fit for the power cable, has received the full scorched earth treatment. This is the second MSI RTX 5090 cable to burn out under similar circumstances in just a few months. While the RTX 5090 is certainly one of the best graphics card options out there for performance, the high power draw of these Nvidia GPUs appears to be occasionally causing some fairly dramatic failures that typically leave the card destroyed.

Three months since it was released, and I imagine a lot of people still have doubts about Civilization 7. The Ages system remains controversial, some key features from Civ 6 aren't present, and the user interface would benefit from more attention. But with Tempest Rising, Manor Lords, and Stellaris still earning plaudits, Firaxis is seemingly committed to improving its 4X sequel, and as fast as possible. A surprise new Civ 7 update just landed, introducing a new (and extremely challenging) map type, a higher multiplayer cap, and a litany of tweaks and balance changes for various civilizations and leaders.

Hollowbody, Crow Country, Signalis, Post Trauma - over the past five years, there have been dozens of games that try to capture the style of classic survival horror, either paying homage to or standing on the shoulders of Resident Evil and Silent Hill. It's fixed cameras. It's low-poly visuals. It's a '90s or '90s-inspired setting where clunky, tank-control combat meets inventive, sometimes surreal puzzles. But there's one element of classic RE that seems to have been forgotten. Available to try right this second, Phase Zero convincingly captures this core characteristic of Capcom's zombie icon.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 has just hit the perfect sales milestone at the exact right time. Is it thanks to the gaming gods, or just some sort of incredible coincidence? I can't answer that question, but I can sing E33's praises and echo the sentiment that the colossal success of this turn-based RPG is very well deserved. So if you've been sitting on the fence, or can't quite cope with how many of your friends are telling you to just play it, this is the best reason to right now. Read the rest of the story...

As someone who's never played a Dragon Quest game, seeing Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake last year confused me simply because I didn't know it was a prequel. I generally prefer to play things in release order, but I understand why Square Enix did it that way around, and why they subsequently announced a double remake of the first two games. The third one launched just last November, leaving 1 and 2 with a vague 2025 release window. Well, until today, when Square Enix shared that the pair of remakes will be launching October 30th.

At this point, I anxiously follow just about everything From Software is working on, but I'm most excited for Elden Ring Nightreign. I got a lot of enjoyment out of Elden Ring's co-op, flawed though it was, so any game that attempts to deliver the same sort of experience with more seamless options for playing with friends would naturally be at the top of my list. But more so than that, Nightreign has already demonstrated a willingness to take creative risks. It looks like Elden Ring, but it plays like a totally different game. View the full article
A new Assassin's Creed Shadows update is here, version 1.0.5, with this one mostly having a focus on parkour improvements. There are, however, a couple of collaborations that have arrived in the game too, one with Dead by Daylight, and another with Balatro. We'll get to those in a second, for now let's take a look at those parkour tweaks. Read more View the full article

A brand-new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game has just been announced, and it is something very few fans could have seen coming, with the title slated to be a VR release. The iconic heroes in a half shell have a rich history with gaming, thanks in no small part to the classic beat 'em ups released at the height of Turtlemania in the early 90s and their later spiritual successors. However, more recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesgames have started to branch out into other genres. View the full article
It's bad news for Microsoft, as a new set of Lenovo Legion Go S benchmarks between the Windows 11 and SteamOS versions shows that SteamOS is much better for gaming on handhelds right now, emphasising the performance gulf between the two platforms. With SteamOS also now officially available for third-party handhelds, this benchmark is further proof that Windows should no longer necessarily be the first choice for PC gamers. In our initial Lenovo Legion Go S test back at CES, we praised how natural SteamOS felt on the Lenovo handheld. The company wasn't willing to make performance comparisons with its Windows 11 model at the time, but it looks like the Microsoft platform is the slower option for gamers looking for the best handheld right now.

I don't ask for very much in life. I like good coffee, competitive esports, and, sometimes, getting caught in the rain (given I'm from Scotland, that part happens a lot). But all I want from 2025 is for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 to be my game of the year. A slot currently occupied by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, I'd love to see the World of Darkness shine yet again. Bloodhunt was great, but it didn't last. Swansong, which in theory sounded great, quickly became monotonous. Aside from visual novels like Shadows of New York and its recent sister title, Reckoning of New York, VTM's virtual universe hasn't wowed anyone lately - in short, Bloodlines 2 has to deliver.
