NZXT has released two new series in its popular line of Kraken coolers, the X-3 and Z-3, the latter of which features a customizable LCD screen. Instead of just displaying the NZXT logo in the center of the pump’s infinity mirror, there is a 2.36-inch, 24-bit color LCD screen on all the Z-3 models that you can customize with either data from NZXT’s CAM software or virtually any image of your liking. While The X-3 series doesn’t come with an LCD screen, it has received a few upgrades too. The Z-3

You can race around the open world lobby getting into contests with strangers, or line up alongside some friends for friendly competition. An open world game set in a post-apocalyptic Earth that has been overrun with dangerous, animal-like machines. Tom: HZD’s gorgeous open world is populated by robot dinosaurs that you hunt using cobbled-together traps and bows and arrows. It’s rare to find such dynamic combat in an open world game.

(Image credit: Porpentine Charity Heartscape)Interactive fictioner Porpentine has released a new adventure that feels a lot like an old one. You’re familiar with Hypercard, of course, the ’80s/’90s Mac development tool that did hyperlinks before the World Wide Web. Well, Madness of the Coastal Structure looks and feels like a Hypercard game, but with some playful Infocom-style writing mixed in as well. It’s a text-based adventure with RPG-style dice rolling and items to collect, and it’s set in

Dying Light, Techland’s up close and personal zombie-killer, is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year. If you own Dying Light on PC or console, you can grab a free copy of Dying Light: Bad Blood. The battle royale spin-off launched in Early Access back in 2018, and it was pretty good, too. To get your free copy, all you need to do is visit Techland’s site, log in or register, and then link whatever account you bought Dying Light on. Techland’s still working on Dying Light 2, as well, but r

Are you looking for a new gaming monitor? Maybe one that works great with both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards? If so, you should check out the LG 27GL850-B, because it just dropped $50 below its usual price of $500. This monitor has a 27-inch 2560×1440 IPS display panel capable of refresh rates up to 144Hz, which checks all the boxes we like to see checked. It’s a FreeSync monitor, but Nvidia has officially certified it as G-Sync compatible, so its variable refresh rate feature will work with Nvi

Firmly in the category of News I Wasn’t Expecting To Read Today Or Ever, Atari has announced it is building a series of “game-themed hotels” across the United States. Soon you’ll be able to leave your house, get on a plane, visit a new city, and stay in hotel where you can play videogames. Described as “a unique lodging experience combining the iconic brand with a one-of-a-kind videogame-themed destination,” Atari hotels will apparently feature “fully immersive experiences for every age and gami

The Raspberry Pi is a micro PC that you can use for just about anything. You can also install Steam Link to play your PC games remotely. If getting started with a Pi seemed a little too daunting, a kit with everything you need is now just $75 on Newegg. While the price of this kit is somewhat comparable to buying all the components separately, it’s nice to start with everything you need. The active cooling is especially great, as you’ll be able to push the Raspberry Pi to its limit (extended gam

And sure, there’s a gun occupying the bottom-right of the screen, but Far Cry In Space it is not. A voyage of discovery’s required to survive and source the parts needed to fuel your journey back home. (Image credit: Journey to the Savage Planet)Very little of the plants and creatures around you is there just to fill the space, and there’s a mild puzzle element to almost everything with a pulse. The irony is that the closer you come to fuelling your ship and starting the journey back home, the m

A VR version that plonks you by the bar and lets you do a bit more than just play cards sounds very tempting, and apparently Blizzard concurs, to the extent that it developed a Hearthstone VR prototype. “They actually prototyped a VR version of Hearthstone during that time,” Chamberlin said. As cathartic as it would feel after a shitty game, I suspect that flipping tables would be the first thing to go if Hearthstone ever did get a proper VR spin-off. It lets players create their own games, so y

Lazr is an explosive cyberpunk platformer where you—the titular freelancing android with laser eyes—have to shoot and leap your way through corporate offices and neon streets. For all your futuristic tricks, however, you’re a lo-fi gal at heart, and one of Lazr’s most notable features is its cloth physics. “Lazr’s original concept came from a challenge posed by a fellow programmer to add verlet (dynamic motion simulation) cloth simulations into a platformer,” Campsey explains on the Kickstarter

Epic Games has dropped a little hint teasing that Birds of Prey will be the theme of Fortnite’s next crossover event. Birds of Prey is the upcoming spin-off to Warner Bros. Pictures’ superhero film, Suicide Squad. This hint appeared in the form of a Twitter exchange between the Warner Bros. official account and the Fortnite official account. Warner Bros. tweeted a video of the movie’s cast and Fornite responded with: “See you soon Harley!” Warner Bros. then replied with “Can’t Wait” with a lipst

In this minimalist platformer, the screen is split in half. However, there’s one element of the formula that doesn’t quite adhere to reality. This discrepancy is quickly mined for puzzle goodness, first with this asynchronous geometry, and then with moving platforms, platforms that switch on and off, and so on. It’s good stuff, and there are loads of other interesting little browser games on the developer’s site to try afterwards. For more great free experiences, check out our roundup of the bes

Psyonix announced that it was dropping multiplayer support for the Mac and Linux versions of Rocket League last week, with the changes coming in early March. DirectX 11 is the main reason Mac and Linux players won’t be able to play online, apparently. Rocket League is being updated from 32-bit to 64-bit later this year, as well as updating from DX9 to DX11. Psyonix claims that only 0.3 percent of Rocket League’s players use Mac or Linux, so it can’t justify spending time and resources on an alte

Released in 2005 only a month after BF2’s launch, Project Reality attracted a niche audience looking for the emphasis on strategy they couldn’t find elsewhere. In his off time he’d make the 12-mile trek to an internet cafe to play Project Reality. They wanted to take the clever concepts of Project Reality and make their own commercial product using Unreal Engine 4. As a result Squad’s maps are incredibly true to the locations they depict. Today Squad is closer than ever to Offworld’s original vi

Doom Eternal Game Director Hugo Martin has outlined a load of new and returning demons in a NoClip documentary, highlighting his new “chess pieces” with which to threaten the players. New to Doom Eternal are the Whiplash, Tentacles, Marauder, Doom Hunter, and Carcass. Doom Eternal continues to have a surprisingly nuanced set of game design principles behind it for a game about chainsawing demons, but 2016’s Doom is going to be hard act to follow. We recently got a few hours hands-on with Doom Et

AestheticGamer aka DuskGolem, who previously provided accurate leaks about the Resident Evil 3 remake and Resident Evil 7’s Not a Hero DLC, says that Konami reached out to developers to pitch two new Silent Hill games. In other news while I’m dropping this stuff, and I think I can talk about this, I’ll mention there is a couple new Silent Hill games in the works. The Rely On Horror website suggests that they’ve heard “from our own independent source that a Silent Hill project is in development.”

The Chinese League of Legends Pro League has announced that competitions have been delayed indefinitely due to the outbreak of coronavirus currently spreading in mainland China. The LPL’s official twitter account released an English statement earlier today, saying that week two of the current LPL series is postponed “until we can ensure the safety and health of our players and fans.” The statement apologizes for the disruption and promises to update fans as soon as possible, reminding them to st

Clocking in at nearly $33,000 dollars worth of internet spaceship, a rare Gold Magnate has sold for 1,001,001 PLEX in EVE Online. Space and science YouTube star Scott Manley made the winning bid, winning an auction from ship owner Kelon Darklight—that’s an in-game name—to benefit Australian wildfire relief via CCP Games’ Plex for Good campaign. The Gold Magnate is one of the rarest ships in EVE Online, arguably the game’s most powerful Frigate. pic.twitter.com/u3WgkzgKG4January 26, 2020For in-ga

Charmingly lo-fi village life game about outcasts and weirdos in a literally broken world? That’s what Village Monsters is. It’s a low-key village life game, the kind where you go fishing and plant gardens and make your house nice. You can apparently abuse the glitches in the game world to boost your own powers and fix things up. Village Monsters is a single-person project by developer Josh Bossie.
