made a gitaroo man video to celebrate the PS classics port. this game shaped my taste in music and inspired me to play the guitar, so i’d say its pretty good something this niche isn’t gonna get any views but sometimes you gotta do it for the love of the game

Network N has decided to cut PCGamesN’s guides team, which means I’m out of a job from mid-June. This is the best job I’ve ever had, and I’m heartbroken to see my team broken up like this. If you're looking to bolster your guides team with one of the best to ever do it, my DMs are open.

i’ve been playing RE9 on PC, game is amazing (leon’s half more so, more on that later). wrote about the PC port - runs very well, but Capcom still hasn’t added FOV settings 👎🏾 we’ve got many RE9 guides going up later this week, keep an eye out 👀 www.pcgamesn.com/resident-evi...

the outer world 2 is my first review of 2026 😎 (let’s just ignore the fact that it’s two months late…) wish the combat was better, it seemed to get progressively worse as the story progressed. still, great game, would highly recommend! www.pcgamesn.com/the-outer-wo...

took a break from writing guides to complain about one of my favourite games this year. 60fps cap, no DLSS, no ultrawide support. justice demands retribution.

i know all the previews for this went out already but here's mine yay! avowed is not the game i thought it was going to be, and it seems like that sentiment is shared among pretty much everyone i've spoken to. still looking forward to it though, but not as much as the fake version i imagined up

bit sad Rezzed/WASD is dead. our first Rezzed was in 2015, we took a break from dissertation writing to check out some indie games (shoutouts to The Swindle and, uhh, Bloodborne). this was so long ago that we were still bringing around our 3DSes to stock up on streetpass hits

look at the speed of these menus in FC 25. EA leveraged the unstoppable might of the PS5 Pro to give us the first FIFA game with 60fps menus. the Pro upgrade is sick, making this the first FIFA locked at 60 even during set pieces and replays. obvs PC been doin this for years. 120fps for FC 26 🙏🏽🙏🏽

i swapped out the keys on my GMMK Pro with the ones from the 8Bitdo NES keyboard (i bought a used one, of course). they don't make the good layout with a proper enter key, so i got a bit crafty with some old keycaps, but i think it looks pretty good tbh
