[ad_1] Music rhythm game Trombone Champ (opens in new tab) became the main character on Twitter yesterday, but in a good way. After posting a video of myself playing Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, scores of people were delighted, enthusiastic, and in some cases even moved to tears (because of how horribly I played (opens in new…

[ad_1] Gaming leaks: They happen. Sometimes they’re the result of hackers and dataminers, other times they’re caused by rogue employees or contractors, and occasionally they’re the result of a simple accident like someone pushing the wrong button or emailing the wrong person. However they happen, leaks in videogamedom are real and surprisingly frequent. Videogame leaks…

[ad_1] As the Dragonborn in Skyrim you quickly collect more suits of armor than you can wear in a single lifetime, and at a certain point there’s no reason to sell them because you’ve got more coins than Scrooge McDuck. Thus: mannequins, wooden statues that reside in your various homes that you can dress up…

[ad_1] It’s not often I paste a short video of me playing a game into the PC Gamer work Slack and other writers immediately buy it on Steam. But all it took was a 90 second clip of me trying to toot out Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in trombone-based rhythm game Trombone Champ and several copies…

[ad_1] PC gaming is abuzz today: Over the weekend roughly an hour of footage (opens in new tab) from Grand Theft Auto 6 was leaked onto the internet. Most of the videos, some 90 different clips, are just a few seconds long and show early development footage and game testing in debug mode, though a…

[ad_1] My life as a corpo in Cyberpunk 2077 started out pretty promisingly, including a ride in my own private flying limousine to kick off my first mission. Granted, things went off the rails almost immediately when I lost my job and got the ghost of Johnny Utah Wick Harker Constantine Mnemonic Silverhand stuck in…

[ad_1] Valve showed us what the world of Half-Life could look like through a VR headset with Half-Life: Alyx. Now some hard-working modders are ready to show us even more. Half-Life 2: VR Mod entered open beta today and is now playable for free on Steam, so tell Gordon Freeman to take off his glasses…

[ad_1] I’ve played plenty of Western games—Red Dead Redemption 2, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Westerado: Double Barreled—typically casting myself as a steely-eyed gunslinger capable of mowing down outlaws and lawmen alike with a flurry of bullets from my shining six-shooters.  But is that really me? If I were really in the Old West, would I…

[ad_1] Grab the biggest shotgun you can find because there’s a new reason to revisit Bethesda’s final expansion for Fallout 4. The Mutant Menagerie—Nuclear Safari mod populates Nuka World with lots of new animals and creatures to hunt including giraffes, flamingos, zebras, and best of all, elephants. Granted, these animals are all gross and mutated—the…

[ad_1] As Lauren wrote yesterday, Disney Dreamlight Valley is easy to get hooked on. The game’s building tools, art style, and seemingly endless quests and activities really does make it feel like it’s the Animal Crossing on PC we’ve been waiting for.  I’m not a Disney fan and I never played Animal Crossing, yet here…
