I could think of a few. The bar from the launch hub in Deep Rock Galactic has really great looking low-poly beers. I would definitely like to visit the bar from Monkey Island and have some grog. Do the poker tables from the Telltale Poker Night games count? The underground nightclub that you get...

Here is another one I just got on sale and played with this weekend: "Residual" https://store.steampowered.com/app/1290780/Residual/ Not bad. Would be good for teenagers. I didn't figure everything out yet and I'm more slightly frustrated by lack of direction instead of intrigued.

Interesting. I likened it to S.P.A.Z. because of the lack of the third dimension.. but you are right it is definitely more in the sim category for a top-down. I haven't been back to it for a week or so now but since ring dives usually only take about a half hour I'll probably come back for more...

Strangely, I can't find anything about this game on the forums or the magazine. I picked this up about a month ago and have really, really enjoyed my time with it. It will even run on a potato laptop if you so please. The developer is totally independent but is offering a quality product; no...

:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL: I'm just still sour after the response to PAYDAY 2's whole Sputnik Crate thing That's funny, I actually just started playing that from scratch again this weekend. Yes, the combat is TOUGH but I think you're meant to avoid it in the beginning. Frustrating as it can be, it's...

Objects in Space. It has some neat ideas, but I feel like it just wasn't fully realized to the scope that the game was trying to portray. User interface issues held it back too. Foolish me held on to the game thinking I was out of the return period after playing 30 hours, when in fact GoG's...

What kind of over-ear models have you tried? Anything premium-priced? My ears are fairly rectangular-shaped but I've found that a large circle cup fits my ear best. I just got the new Corsair Virtuoso RGB XT and it fits great... although I do have to almost max out the headband... so maybe I'm a...

Michael Mando's performance of Vaas Montenegro for Far Cry 3. Hands down the best. Although, that might also have something to do with the "Far Cry Experience" film that Ubisoft produced before the game came out. It featured Christopher Mintz-Plasse on a tropical get-away that is promptly...

Steve was also sure to say that "there is absolutely nothing wrong with buying a pre-built." ;) You just have to pay attention to what you're paying for. And comes to terms with what you're expecting for your money. Most of us veteran PC builders will agree that assembling your own PC is the...

Sure, I would consider them simulations. Then again, aren't all video games a simulation, strictly speaking? Now, to call them simulators, might be a stretch. I think the term simulator should be reserved for games that are attempting to replicate a true-to-life scenario. I would call Rust and...

ArmA with Shack Tactical. I can still hear the screams, sometimes. Nothing really comes close to the amount of dooming, unpredictable violence I experienced doing that. But other than that? Max Payne 3 was pretty violent. AC: Valhalla has an impressive amount of beheading and de-limbing. Mad...

That is incredible! The hardware market is definitely a bonanza right now. Maybe I should sell my old rig.... For reference, I purchased a used GTX 970 about 2-3 years ago for $180. So, I'd say you would be getting a good deal there.

First off, it's a dungeon. It's shouldn't be fun. What makes it fun is that you might not make it out. That said... the things that do make it fun lean in to a certain gameplay loop that will involve conquering enemies or environments, and being rewarded with w00t . One of my absolute favorite...

This might sound crazy, but you might get more bang for you buck with a laptop. Laptops seem to be on sale while all the pre-built desktop PCs seem to be fully priced as-ever. A couple days ago Best Buy had some fairly competent gaming laptops on flash sale. Aim for something in the GTX 16xx...

I take all computer equipment with a grain of salt. It's amounted to cups' worth. I hear what you're saying, but there isn't any more indication that the unit is faulty, at least as far as I can tell now. I just installed hwinfo64 and checked my +12V reading on my motherboard. Averaging about...
