This time, the charity speedrunning marathon features several recent games includingDeathloopandDeath’s Door, among many others. In reality, GDQ happens just twice a year, withAwesome Games Done Quickand Summer Games Done Quick. It ain’t summer, so this is the former. As per the last couple of years, it’s an online-only event again due to Covid. It remains excellent as an online-only event. Saturday is then when the previously reportedblindfolded Sekiro run will take place....

As such, its basically safe to start rounding up any PC gaming kit highlights. Intel Core i9-12900HK Alternative subheading: A bunch of new Intel CPUs, including the Core i9-12900HK. Nonetheless, Ill confess to having my head turned by the Core i9-12900HK, Intels newest top-of-the-line mobile CPU. HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless HyperXs CES 2022 focused on updates to or spinoffs from existing kit. The Cloud Alpha Wireless headset stole the show, however, with its nigh-unbelievable 300 hours of battery life....

However, some heartening news! More levels are on the way, as well as new character customisation tools. Might And Delightsaythey’re adding two more levels to be explored. “A mountainous forest level to the west and a hidden underground outmark called the ‘Underbelly’”. Weve also been treated to a single screenshot of whats presumably the forest level. I cant tell if its spooky or tranquil. I suppose a tentative night walk will confirm things....

But is E3 even needed anymore? But even if not, the industry will doubltess manage to host its own advert-o-ramas without the E3 banner. “We remain incredibly excited about the future of E3 and look forward to announcing more details soon.” Bless their optimistic hearts. The ESAtold GamesBeatthat they are “excited about the possibilities of an online event.” you’ve got the option to read that as noncommittal. But it doesn’t really matter....

Featuring throwable shark If youve been hankering for moreDead Cells, then youre in luck. The games next paid expansion is out now and has you dive into some nautical newness. And a throwable shark. I spent some time with it over the last few days and it kicked my butt. The Infested Shipwreck is this claustrophobic dice through a sunken vesselcoveredwith spikes and eldritch abominations. Never reached it, mate. But its a mad dash to the top as flames rise from below, so that’s good....

It’s now just two weeks away from release, with a January 20th release date. Pupperazzi is one of those games that simply is what it is acting like. They’re folks who know how to make a fun world to explore. It’s also being published by Kitfox, who have a decent track record. Since the release is getting close, Sundae Month put out a short little music video today. It’s about liking dogs, which I can relate to:

Definitely still alive I have a strange relationship withDead Cells. No DLCs to my name, nothing. I’d done a big run and put the game down. Fast forward to now. Suddenly I own thelatest expansion The Queen And The Sea, plus all the DLCs that came before it. I’m nonchalant, thinking that I dropped the game for a reason. Surely I can’t be won almost three years later? The DLCs have opened my eyes to the game in ways I hadnt anticipated....

The new area is Enkanomlya, which exists underground and is entered via a deep pool in Inazuma. you’re gonna wanna be adventure rank 30 to access it. It’s a good example of what Genshin does well, wringing atmosphere out of relatively simple building blocks. The whole of Enkanomlya seems coated in fog and lit in cool blues by glowing plants. And of course there’s tall things to climb and leap off....

Or should that be Death Stranding Delector’s Plus? More than rebuilding or reworking the game, the Director’s Cut mostly adds a load of new stuff. Plus other bits and pieces. Hideo Kojima himself has objected to The Man applying the ‘director’s cut’ label. So, in my opinion, I don’t like to call ‘director’s cut’." The PC version will also support Intel’s newXe Super Samplingtechnology. In theory, it might offer performance gains at little loss in image quality....

I’d recommend taking the stairs MMOEVE Onlinehas players form roving bands of cartels and moon-rock mining operations. Corporations thrive and wars are waged. It’s a space-opera filled with twists in many tales. Here’s another twist for you. There’s also a login campaign with skill points and Doctor Who-themed items over the course of the event. Seems like there’s some investigative work to be done before you face off against the Daleks too....

Because we are Nobody. Then you could combine those with 80-odd abilities from across forms to create builds. We can’t stop you!" Lots of silly quests to help people to unlock all that jazz, they say. And online cooperative multiplayer. I’m glad this is still colourful and silly. And heck, I’m glad to see more from Drinkboxand something different. 2 reviewthought the sequel dragged on too long, though. Nobody Saves The World will launch January 18th onSteamand Microsoft’s Store, as well as Xboxes....

Including possibly the first integrated graphics that arent hopeless Its the first week of 2022 and that means yes! all the big PC hardware movers and shakers are hosting theirCES 2022events. On the same day. Within a couple of hours of each other. Theres even anNvidia Image Scalingrival in the upcoming, driver-level Radeon Super Resolution feature. Lets start with how the show ended, namely with the AMD Ryzen 7000 series of desktop CPUs....

Speaking of which, the 12th generation finally has some Core i3 representation, albeit entirely without E-cores. Though, uh,dont feel obliged to switch to DDR5if youre upgrading. LPDDR5 support is also included, something that failed to materialise for Tiger Lake. The more intriguing mystery is how well all these chips perform.
