Gotham Knights release date, trailer, plot, and more

And so far, the adventures of the extended Bat-family look pretty exciting. I guess Batman’s been running some sort of high-turnover apprenticeship scheme in this continuity. What other DC characters will feature in Gotham Knights? (Or you know, maybe he’s notreallydead? Because no one in comic book franchises is ever really dead.) What will be the setting and plot of Gotham Knights? What will the gameplay be like in Gotham Knights?...

AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT review: a "cheap" graphics card, but at what cost?

Especially if theyre happy to stick to playing at 1080p. Even the stock clock speeds are, in fairness, incredibly high by any GPU standards. That doesnt change how trying to get by with 4GB no more than the Radeon RX 550 from 2017! is playing with fire, as far as modern hardware demands are concerned. 1440p was doable here too, with 57fps in Dubai and 49fps in Dartmoor again on Ultra tweaks....

Back 4 Blood shows off first expansion's new characters and meat labyrinth

A non-stop exploration of guts? FromSystem Shock 2to Vampire Bloodlines, I am perhaps a little over-enthusiastic about fleshy architecture. I just think it’s neat. I think Back 4 Blood’s new guts are good too. But did I mention there’s meat too? The expansion will also add new playable characters Sharice and Heng. Plus new weapons, new cards, new weapon skins, and other bits. Tunnels Of Terror will launch next Tuesday, the 12th of April....

Chinatown Detective Agency review: stylish cyberpunk meets history homework

What’s a good metaphor for that? If only there were a food product that had built an entire brand around the concept. I guess we’ll never know. You play Amira Darma, who recently quit the police to start the titular agency. She wears a cool dress-down suit and I think we would be friends. There’s a lot to love about the world and characters of Chinatown Detective Agency. Even NPCs will usually have something interesting or funny to say....

Not already playing enough -dle games each day? BitGeoGuessr, bit Wordle. Yes, this is pleasant enough. Simple enough:hit Wheredle’s websiteto play.

Get 16GB of Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 memory for £47

Still got 2400MT/s RAM? Upgrade to this 3200MT/s CL16 kit. Crucial has discounted its most popular RAM kit, a 2x8GB kit rated at 3200MT/s CL16. Well, from my own RAM testing, you lose a lot of performance from memory below ~3000MT/s. So DDR4-3200 is comfortably in the middle of that bang-for-buck zone. Next scenario: upgrading an old PC. So whichever camp you fall into, I think this RAM kit makes a lot of sense....

Gears Of War studio show off Unreal Engine 5 tech demo

The details are just incredible, more than 100 times what was possible before. “You also see how were doing new things with light. Lumen is a total game-changer.” To be slightly less facetious, the tech is helpful for developers of all sorts. Rayner says that UE5 removes several friction points from their workflow. That’s definitely good. That can help all devs, and all games they make. Maybe some of those games will even be about people who aren’t covered head-to-toe in straps and buckles....

A Hypnospace character is making his own retro 90s FPS, Slayers X

Both announcements came during today’sHypnospace Next livestreamed presentation. Going by his Twitter, dude’s still a total dingus. And ignore his ‘Zane_Rocks_36’ handle, he’s actually 37, okay. While I’m flipping my lid over the Hynospace sequel, I am less instantly enthusiastic about this. Hey, I’ll wait and see. Hynospace has certainly earned my trust. I’m absolutely up for exploring another sleepytime alt-reality Internet. This one jumps forward a few years from Hypnospace, to 2003-2005....

A new Tomb Raider is now in development using Unreal Engine 5

That’s a lot of marketing speak, but there’s no more detail about the game than that. Big games leaping from in-house engines to Unreal Engine 5 is becoming a trend. They don’t know how to use the engine you made yourself. Here’s hoping the next Tomb Raider game is about more than pushing forward and being occasionally gored. The engine is out now, and it’s got graphics in it. As a presenter, Tim Sweeney’s not exactly John Noakes, is he?...
