Militsioner isn’t just a weird and ambitious immersive sim, it’s a game of titanic emotional labour Big mood Image credit:CRITICAL REFLEX If the mountain-sized cop in Militsioner were just a massive looking glass in the sky, registering your every motion or infraction with sterile exactness, that would be fine. The trouble is, he is also a needy piece of shit. If you don’t glance up and address him every few minutes, he’ll complain thunderously about being unappreciated, and when the Cop feels bad about himself, it leads to floods....

MindsEye’s lead actor talks being the face of a game that flops hard “It’s wildly painful” Image credit:Build A Rocket Boy From an outside perspective, I think it was probably fairly obvious that MindsEye was never going to do very well. There was barely any game to show off, so they mostly didn’t. What they did show didn’t look very good either, and when it came out, it was a glitchy mess ....

Mirror’s Edge’s iconic art style? Yeah, turns out it was sort of an accident Parkour for the course It’s kind of baffling how Mirror’s Edge came out almost two full decades ago, and there’s hardly a whisper of a game that’s managed to match its art direction.

Nvidia are pretty sure the RTX 50 series GPUs won’t melt like the RTX 4090 did Burning question answered ahead of RTX 5090 and 5080 launch Image credit:Nvidia Some eager beavers who bought the GeForce RTX 4090 at launch were, quite infamously, rewarded for their investment with a defective power adapter, one that that could melt the plastic in their £1679 graphics card like it was Ronald Lacey’s face. Nvidia reckon that won’t be an issue with for the imminent RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 , though, even with the former’s drastically increased 575W power limit....
