In case you missed the demo, Power Chord from Big Blue Bubble, is a heavy metal-themed roguelike deck builder that sports a presentation and narrative arc for the ages, as well as some seriously tight mechanics and a fair amount of innovation in an otherwise crowded genre market. The game will also be coming to Nintendo Switch at a later date, but hits PC later this month.

Nightdive Studios has been quietly working on the System Shock remake for a number of years, with delays and even project restarts pushing out its planned release a few times.

A lot of Starfield is still very much a mystery, we haven't seen a lot of meaty gameplay or even know exactly how all of its ambitious features will translate into a game.

When we reviewed the new desktop GeForce RTX 4090 and GeForce RTX 4080 laptops built on NVIDIA’s new cutting-edge Ada Lovelace architecture, one of the biggest things that stood out was just how power efficient they both were while still delivering incredible performance. And with efficiency being a top priority for mobile and laptop gaming, NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops are set to provide a massive gen-on-gen boost.

NVIDIA has finally lifted the lid on the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, formerly known as the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB, and with DLSS 3 technology performance it can outperform the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti by a considerable margin.
