Hey, update your Nvidia drivers for security fixes

8 1 月, 2021 Alice O'Connor 0

Nvidia have released their first new set of graphics drivers for 2021 and no, they don’t bring big performance boosts to hot new games or make another old game look worse with weird raytracing. Nope, the 461.09 drivers focus on unglamorous yet important security fixes. Though if you like to see exactly how high your […]

If you, like me, prefer playing your PC games with a controller pilfered from the household console box, good news a’coming.

At the beginning of December, the developers of Prison Architect started a “Fail Masterclass”. It’s a monthly video series in which Introversion’s Chris Delay and Mark Morris show a game they tried to make and explain the reasons why that project was cancelled.

Are there any VR games you’re looking forward to in 2021?

7 1 月, 2021 Graham Smith 0

Earlier today, we got a glimpse inside Ian Hitman’s head with a trailer for Hitman 3‘s new VR support. Except we didn’t, really, because support has thus far only been confirmed for the PSVR and not for our superior PC-based virtual reality headsets. So it’s got me thinking.
