Even before the Amazon Prime Day PC deals start in a couple of weeks time, those in the UK looking to treat their bum right can take advantage of some great prices on gaming chairs over at Box right now. You can save the best part of £100 on any of their Vernazza model chairs—like the blue one in the headline. We rate Arozzi and their chairs quite highly and the Vernazza’s cousin, the Verona Junior, sits very high up our take on the best gaming chairs. So, sit comfortably in front of one of the

Field of Glory: Empires’ setting means Imperator: Rome comparisons are probably inevitable, and there are some broad similarities, but Empires’ scope is larger, it’s turn-based and fights take place on a tactical map. It does mean you’ll need two games to get proper tactical fights, though. As well as tangible threats like big armies and other empires, there are also more existential threats, like decadence. You’ll need to nurture your government and culture as your empire expands or it invite a

Empire of Sin was hiding something in its Nintendo Direct announcement trailer that the normally eagle-eyed denizens of the internet failed to spot. The mobster strategy game’s trailer features a shootout where a bottle of Romero’s Rye gets shattered by a bullet. He’ll be a playable character and a ruthless mobster, apparently, and while only one person will get to see their naming skills immortalised in-game, the top ten suggestions will also net their creators the Paradox Interactive Collectio

Chasing loot and murdering space bugs are, of course, the best things to do online with your friends. Killsquad has all of that in a kind of sci-fi Diablo package, and it’ll be heading into early access next month. It’s got a Diablo-style isometric view, but with a colorful sci-fi setting and tons of fast action and dodge-rolling. But in the process, you’ll be finding better guns and materials to make those guns better yet. Early access will open up for PC via Steam July 16.

If you’ve got fond memories of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, specifically the cartoon and action figure version from the 1980s and ’90s, then do I have the fan game for you. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rescue-Palooza! is a homage to the arcade and NES games starring the Turtles, filled with voice lines from the show. It plays a lot like the old TMNT arcade game, which is to say it feels like Golden Axe. Bebop and Rocksteady are still jerks to fight, and after I rescued April O’Neil she hit

Epic Games employees are all getting two weeks off starting today, the company announced in a blog post Friday. The Fortnite developer is closing its Cary, N.C. offices from June 24 to July 8, giving employees some much-needed rest and relaxation after a reportedly grueling two years. The success of Fortnite led to extremely long hours for people working at Epic, as Polygon reported in April. During the break, Epic won’t be running any competitive Fortnite tournaments, but it says new Season 9 c

It’s hard to find any straight-up good guys in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, but Chaos are clearly the most evil of the whole bunch. Today, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2’s Chaos Campaign expansion launches into the inky, war-ravaged blackness of the far future, and alongside it comes a fleet of free updates for the base game. Chaos has its own unique map mechanics, and the new story provides a look at what habitable space would look like if Chaos gets its way. Tindalos has also added in new econ

Previously, the Hall of Fame process has only happened when Standard rotates at the start of the year. The replacement cards will “better speak to their classes’ core fantasies” as Blizzard put it. In contrast with how Hall of Fame has worked in the past, these cards are being immediately replaced with brand new alternatives. Eight new cards are being added to Classic at the same time in order to compensate for cards which have been sent to the Hall of Fame in the past. Druids, for instance, are

Hitman 2’s first major new location, a New York-set bank level, is finally coming tomorrow. The bank level has previously been described as a ‘sandbox location’, so it’ll hopefully be comparable to Hitman 2’s existing murder puzzles boxes. If you’re interested in more details about how the bank was made, IO Interactive ran a livestream today explaining the bank’s creation. How big is too big, when you’re making a bank level? Another Hitman 2 level and location will be added to the game later thi

(Image credit: Raspberry Pi Foundation)The Raspberry Pi Foundation today unveiled the next major iteration of its popular mini PC, the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. And make no mistake, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is definitely pitching that angle. For the first time we provide a PC-like level of performance for most users, while retaining the interfacing capabilities and hackability of the classic Raspberry Pi line,” the Raspberry Pi Foundation said. These types of cables are a little harder to come

(Image credit: MSI)MSI is giving Nvidia’s Turing GPU the low profile treatment with a pair of new GeForce GTX 1650 graphics cards. One is an overclocked model and the other sticks to reference clocks, but both sit lower than almost every other GTX 1650 model on the market. The only low profile Turing card I’m aware of is from Zotac (ZT-T15600H-10L), and that is also a GTX 1650 model. The only difference is that the regular model (GeForce GTX 1650 4GT LP) has a 1665MHz boost clock and the overclo

Fallout Miami is an upcoming Fallout 4 mod that creates an entirely new world set on the coast of post-apocalyptic Florida. Bear in mind this early version isn’t reflective of the final version Fallout Miami. “This early version of Fallout Miami is the first worldspace I made when I started this project,” reads Mika999’s post on the Nexus Mod page, “and that’s why I must emphasize that it won’t be present in the final version of Fallout Miami and is not associated with the current project.” You

Valve has always recommended that gamers run Ubuntu Linux, the most popular desktop Linux distribution, but that’s now changing. Last Friday, a developer at Valve announced that Ubuntu Linux 19.10⁠—which is due to come out this October—won’t be supported by Steam. Ubuntu 19.10 and future releases will not be officially supported by Steam or recommended to our users. Canonical, the company that owns and develops Ubuntu, said last week that Ubuntu 19.10 will not include any 32-bit packages. The ac

It’s called Windows Terminal, and you can find it in the Microsoft Store. “The Windows Terminal is a new, modern, fast, efficient, powerful, and productive terminal application for users of command-line tools an shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL. First announced at Build 2019, both of those can be accessed from within the Windows Terminal. “This is the first of several preview releases to the Microsoft Store,” says Kayla Cinnamon, Windows Terminal program manager. In the meantime,

(Image credit: Andy Chalk)P.T.—Playable Teaser—was originally released by Konami in 2014 as a teaser for Silent Hills. That game was ultimately cancelled but P.T. It takes place in a poorly-lit apartment that’s obviously very similar to that of P.T., but everything inside it is, well, cute. The game is “weird and not straightforward,” as creator Happy Snake Games described it on Itch.io, but while it might seem almost entirely non-interactive, that’s not actually the case. It’s still silly, yes,

So why waste time gaming with a display that can’t give you an awesome experience? If you’re looking for a significant upgrade to your current setup, Amazon’s Acer Predator X27 monitor is on sale for $1,649, which is $350 down from its list price of $1,999. We previously called the Acer Predator X27 the best 4K monitor for gaming, praising its high refresh rate, G-Sync capabilities for compatible Nvidia GeForce graphics cards and GPUs, and “brilliant and convincing 4K HDR graphics.” Check out so
