Hey folks, and happy new year! I'm asking the PC Gamer team to tell me their 2025 gaming resolutions, and I'd love to know yours, too! I'll publish them later today (possibly early next week since a lot of people are still out). Mine: I want to get into an MMO this year. I've never found one I...

Harpy Holidays all! If an immortal Elflord piloting a sled pulled by wild animals breaks into your house, I hope he brings you all the gaming gifts you've asked for. Stay warm and healthy and thanks to everyone who keeps our community such a fun and friendly place.

Rich Sommer and Cissy Jones in Firewatch. No mocap, obviously, but I think those are the strongest acting performances in a game. They were both incredible.

Well this is embarrassing but ages ago (like late 1990s) I couldn't figure out a reliable way to take screenshots of games. So I bought an actual device called a "Snappy" which plugged into, like, a parallel port or something, and then you could just press a key and it would take picture of...

Bethesda announced an Indiana Jones game is in the works today, developed by MachineGames. Since we don't have any details to go on, seems like a good time to invent some. What do you want from an Indiana Jones game? What would your dream Indy game be like? Let me know by Wednesday and I'll...

The holidays are a great time to get some gaming in, either by diving into your backlog, trying something new, or just comfortably zoning out with a favorite. What game or games do you plan to play over the holiday break? Let me know by Wednesday and I'll publish some of your answers along...

I recently had a crown put in, a fake tooth to replace a real tooth of mine that had failed. But in Cyberpunk 2077, we see people with all sorts of replacements for body parts—cyber eyes, robot arms, head implants, and basically entire bodies replaced with cyberware. So, if you could imagine...

And what would you do with it once you owned it? I think I might buy PopCap and tell them to make another 5 Plants vs Zombies games for PC. Let me know your answers sometime on Wednesday and we'll publish them along with some from PCG's writers!

I think for me it's Enter. I don't know why. Space would be easier. But I choose Enter. How about you?

Sometimes there's a game on the horizon you just know your PC won't be able to run—or won't be able to run it well, anyway. Or sometimes you'll be playing a game but you can see by other people's videos and screenshots that you're just not getting the most out of it, performance or...

With loot boxes more or less phased out of most games, battle passes / season passes have become the de facto monetization strategy. On the plus side, you can see what you're getting in advance. On the other hand, there's often a lot of grinding to actually acquire the stuff you've already paid...

I don't think we ever came up with a great name for E3's replacement this year. Online only and spread out over several months instead of packed into one busy week, it was definitely different. But what did you think of it? Better than previous E3s? Worse? Ultimately the same? Anything you...

I am stealing this for the Mid-Week Question this week. Sorry/Thank you! Aaaaand I routinely injure my ears by standing up while my headphones/earbuds are in and having them brutally yanked off/out because the cable is hooked on something under the desk and there's no slack.

Well the Daredevil movie stunk out loud and the show kinda fizzled out, but I'd play a Daredevil game. BUT! I would like half the game to be the Matt Murdock stuff—being a lawyer, defending people in court, using super-senses to detect lies and solve mysteries, and then switching to Daredevil...

Our question this week: What's your favorite game world? What world do you love escaping into, and what makes it such a great place to spend time? I'm going to have to mull it over a bit myself, because I love escaping into the worlds of RDR2 and GTA, but also Skyrim and Oblivion, Fallout, Far...
