PC Gaming Show Reveals 2025 Hosts and More

I think there is trouble when I actively go out of my way to find the 5th track of Waylon Jennings’ Ol Waylon, or the 3rd track from Elton John’s Honky Château. Don’t worry, I balance it with the 7th track from…

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered (PC) – Review

A few years ago, out of curiosity more than anything, I downloaded The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion through Game Pass and almost immediately stopped. The nearly 20-year-old release is not only showing its age by this point. Comparing it to Bethesda’s “Can…

Trails Through Daybreak II (PC) Review

Doctor Who “The Well” – Review

Well, in another life we did indeed say “The Midnight sky’s the road I’m takin’,” but that’s enough about an episode with Merlin in it. Written by Russell T Davies, and importantly, there is a use of an ampersand between him &…

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Trilogy Enhanced Editions announced

If there is one set of PC-centric titles that I wanted to get into early on, it has to be GSC Game World’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. Starting in 2007 with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, the series focuses sci-fi-ish take on the Chornobyl disaster,…
