Graphics card prices have ballooned in recent years, driven by rising demand initially from the cryptocurrency boom and, more recently, by the AI boom. Adding insult to gamers’ bank account injuries, though, is the recent RAM price explosion that has seen DDR5 RAM quadruple in price and caused graphics card prices to rise even more, due to the VRAM they need also getting more expensive. However, fresh data suggests that a lot of buyers just aren’t interested in paying even more for their graphics cards, or at least not for those from AMD, and as a result, prices are on…

If you’re in the market for a gaming laptop but are limited to a ~$1,000 budget, this Alienware Aurora gaming laptop deal is well worth a look. Normally priced at $1,399.99, it’s currently available for just $1,099.99, and its spec is one that’s really well balanced with no major compromises.

Life is Strange developer Don’t Nod announced its next third-person cinematic adventure, Aphelion, during last year’s Summer Game Fest with an Uncharted-like reveal set in space. And if the sci-fi excursion carries on as planned, Aphelion will launch sometime around or before this summer’s next big event.Aphelion’s latest gameplay trailer is a better look at how the studio’s new journey takes a few cues from its rock-climbing platformer, Jusant, and marries them with the more story-rich, exposition-heavy games it’s known for. In Aphelion, you’ll control a pair of European Space Agency (ESA) astronauts on a mission bound for Persephone—a planet…

Valve has confirmed that a RAM shortage is causing manufacturing delays and making it hard to keep the Steam Deck OLED in stock.

The reason is simple: AI data centers require enormous amounts of RAM to operate, which is eating into the supply available for gaming hardware. According to…

Fatal Frame II Remake seems to follow the story rather faithfully in its early hours. The Minakami forests where…

Csaba “ForestWare” Székely’s Sword Hero is one of the most exciting upcoming games: An ambitious, open-ended RPG with complex NPC behaviors, physics interactions, and emergent gameplay⁠—the Hungarian developer affectionately referred to it as a “eurojank” game, a label applied to ambitious, but often flawed attempts by European developers to replicate or advance ’90s PC design sensibilities.Despite its slightly derogatory connotation, I’ve had this growing feeling that eurojank⁠ has won. Larian, CD Projekt, IO Interactive, and GSC Game World are just a few outfits that were second-tier studios putting out cult classics in the 2000s, and now they’re on top of…
