A monitor just for the response time alone is a better purchase for PC gaming. Also be sure that whatever you buy has an HDR brightness of at least 600 nits or higher (ideally 1000 and up). Anything below that is "fake" HDR and not worth messing with. Check this list out...

If you're playing it, how are you enjoying Lost Ark? I gave it a negative review on Steam but I'm really leaning more towards neutral. There's some things that I do like about it, but there's a lot rubbing me the wrong way. The monetization model is pretty aggressive and there's been a video...

Is it Space Colony? It's not hexed base though so that might not be it.

Classic --------- Arcade Racer: Need for Speed: High Stakes Simulation Racer: Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec Current ---------- Arcade Racer: The Crew 2 Simulation Racer: Forza Motorsport 7 The arcade racers always felt like car theme parks and had absolutely killer soundtracks. If nothing else, a...

As others have said, this isn't HDR but a gimmick. You need at least 600 nits to have even passable HDR. 1000 nits or more to really enjoy it. Anything below 600 just looks sub-par. I've got a Samsung MU6300 television and it only does 400 nits. While my 4K HDR movies look ok, they would look...

Depends on what your taste is, but I would say one of the best horror experiences you can get is Alien: Isolation. Even at nearly a decade old, it's one of the most terrifying games I've ever played and I don't scare easily. The Alien learns from your patterns and movements so you're never safe...

There's quotes that pop up on the main menu of the original Dawn of War and one I always remember is "There is no such thing as innocence, only varying degrees of guilt." Speaks to the grim cynicism of the setting but it's also just good writing. And of course, Mortal Kombat's legendary...

100% Xenoblade. I can imagine playing Chronicles and Chronicles 2 at 4k uncapped FPS and it would be spectacular. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would be really fantastic as well. And obviously any of the Zelda titles would be great fun, as well as the often slept on Hyrule Warriors spin-offs.

I'll go against the grain slightly here and recommend a regular office chair. A lot of the "gaming chairs", like other "gamer" branded things, are gimmicky or overly expensive because of the name brand or because it's been "gamerfied" somehow. I'm a big guy and I recently picked up the Amazon...

Hey, new friends! I'm Komodo, and I've been PC gaming for as long as I can remember. I've been a fan of PCG for just as long. I have fond memories of grabbing the latest issue off the rack and devouring the demo disc back in the day. I still have a bent and warped copy of the PC Gamer cheats...

Earliest memory was probably Chess. I can't remember the specs of the system we owned but it had an amber display (dating myself here) and I remembering being a little kid and just messing around with the game. I never won anything, clearly, but it was still fun! Beyond that, Wolf 3D was my...
