In this case, Razer is touting its refreshed Blade Pro as the world’s first THX-certified laptop. “Through the processes of THX, the Razer Blade Pro screen is calibrated and tested for resolution, color accuracy, and video playback performance. The 2017 model Blade Pro still features a 17.3-inch 4K IGZO panel with touch support. The Blade Pro tackles gaming with a GeForce GTX 1080 GPU. The upgraded Razer Blade Pro will be available in April starting at $4,000 (£3,799.99 / €4,499.99).

Ubisoft’s medieval beatdown game For Honor has a Peacekeeper problem. However, when PK [Peacekeeper] is used these tactics are not needed as simply spamming light attacks can usually guarantee hits, even against experienced players,” he wrote. The purpose of the message was to call for a ban on the use of the Peacekeeper class in MLG tournaments, and MLG, reflecting the seriousness of the complaint, agreed. “For online tournaments, we will try running a tournament with peacekeeper banned, and th

Over on its global website, MSI has added some new additions to its GeForce GTX 1080 Ti lineup. They include the GTX 1080 Ti Armor and Aero, both of which come in stock clocked and overclocked variants. MSI’s GeForce GTX Ti Aero 11G is similar to Nvidia’s Founders Edition but with a more colorful cooler. MSI’s Armor cards come with a little more visual bling. Like the Aero variant, the non-OC Armor model sticks to Nvidia’s reference clockspeeds—1,480MHz base and 1,582MHz boost.

During Larian Studios’ hugely successful Divinity: Original Sin 2 Kickstarter campaign, backers were given the opportunity to vote for their favourite skill schools that’d be introduced as Stretch Goals at a later date. To this end, as part of the project’s 35th Update, the early accessible role-player has now added Summoning and Polymorphing to its sorcery-endowed bounds. As detailed via the game’s Kickstarter campaign page, the Summoning school lets players conjure personal elementals which ma

Update: The countdown site is still ticking away—five hours left at the moment–but the Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition announcement trailer has gone live anyway. We’ll no doubt have more details soon, but for now you can just kick back and enjoy the trailer below. As in, Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition. Beamdog will have its work cut out for it when it comes to “enhancing” Planescape: Torment. I enjoyed Baldur’s Gate Enhanced, but the new characters felt slightly out of place, not to

Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1060 price-to-performance ratio is reason enough to consider the card, but if you’re looking for added incentive to upgrade, you can now score a free copy of For Honor or Ghost Recon Wildlands. Initially the free game offer applied to qualified purchases of a GeForce GTX 1070 or 1080 card, desktop system, or laptop. It later expanded to included the GTX 1080 Ti after it launched, and now the GTX 1060 is joining the party. “The GeForce GTX 1060 is the ‘Recommended’ GPU for bo

In a month, the top Dota 2 teams will descend upon Kiev, Ukraine, for the next in Valve’s series of official tournaments, the Majors. Namely, there are questions about how these Valve tournaments, regarded by the community as extremely important, have interfered with third-party events. In the 2014-2015 season, excluding Valve events there were 24 ‘premier’ and 38 ‘professional’ events, per Valve’s ticketing system, for a total of 62. Valve clearly wanted to make a tournament system that added l

Update: Here’s a peek at the new menu, via Jeremy Stieglitz on Twitter (you can enlarge the image by clicking the top right corner for a better look):Original story: I’ve chosen a picture of one of Ark: Survival Evolved’s giant snails for this particular news story. That’s because Ark’s next patch, v256, will among other things apparently provide a long, long, long overdue ‘total inventory menu redesign’ according to recently added notes to the Steam discussion post and this tweet from Studio Wi

Almost 4,000 exoplanets have been detected by astronomers to date, but the large number of Earth-sized planets in this particular system makes the discovery special. And when I heard about it, my immediate thought was: I want to go there in Elite Dangerous. And I was delighted to hear that the system would appear in the latest beta, and eventually the game itself. Further discoveries were made by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope and the Very Large Telescope in Chile. After NASA’s discovery, SETI (

This build is aimed at creating a gaming PC that performs decently well for as little money as possible. Long story short: this is the best gaming PC build for $500. As this is a budget build, the best RX 470 variant to buy is the cheapest. (It’s also our top pick for best budget SSD.) Fractal Design is one of our favorite case manufacturers, and the Core 1100 is a great case for this budget build.

I’ve been having a go at a mod called Sim Settlements, created by kinggath, (which I previously wrote about here). But with Sim Settlements, NPCs gradually improve their homes. This is why the mod should become an official part of the game: it makes your settlements feel alive, far more than the original game does. Soon, he’d added a chemistry table inside and would chill out in there most of the day. You can—and definitely should—grab Sim Settlements from Nexus Mods and give it a try.

I’m pretty sure Drack can’t even fit into the stall, so I’m not sure what he’s been doing. I know, I know, I’m nitpicking, and it’s not like you designed the ship. But the little things add up out here, and there are certain… discrepancies. We just spent six weeks scanning planets and found some iron, so that’ll really help the colonization effort. It’s the little things you do that make a big difference.

Star Wars Battlefront, for all the weight behind its titanic namesake, has largely floundered against the competition. It trades nuance for reference; it feels like a friend articulating a hypothetical Star Wars matchup (“What if Han Solo and Darth Vader dueled on top of the Millennium Falcon?”) while glossing over the finer details. With a new Battlefront arriving sometime this year , DICE holds the potential to deliver a sequel with the same brimming Star Wars excitement but of more ambitious

Embedded displays might be the next big thing that replaces (or at least supplements) RGB lighting. Case in point, Colorful, a Chinese manufacturer of graphics cards, just slapped an LCD along the side of its iGame GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. When it comes to gaming products, RGB lighting is everywhere—cases, graphics cards, peripherals, and even RAM. For now, Colorful is the only company we know of to equip a graphics card with an LCD panel. Beyond the embedded LCD, Colorful’s new card is notable for

Update, March 27: The official Destiny account has tweeted out a logo , as seen above, which nearly matches the logo in the leaked posters. (The spacing of the letters in ‘Destiny’ is somewhat different.) The exact release date remains unconfirmed, as does the existence of a PC version, though it seems likely. ———-Kotaku, by way of an Italian retailer, has obtained leaked photos of a Destiny 2 poster which indicates a September 8th release date, at least for Europe, as well as a pre-releas

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds launched on Steam Early Access this past Thursday, and according to its developer, Bluehole, it has already raked in over $11 million in sales. The multiplayer battle royale shooter also drew a sizable crowd of combatants with a peak of 67,000 concurrent players, says Bluehole’s press release. People didn’t just play, but also watched: Bluehole reports over 150,000 concurrent viewers on Twitch. If you’re looking to get started with Battlegrounds yourself, make sure

Amid the Skyrims and Witcher 3s of the world, players hungered for a return to the classic roleplaying games of yesteryear. The first game saved Obsidian from drowning, and Pillars of Eternity 2 is ready to sail to a new world. “We had talked about it going all the way back to Pillars of Eternity,” Sawyer confesses almost shamefully. I begin to realise that, to Urquhart and Sawyer, Pillars of Eternity 2 is as much about the little things as it is the big. “I think a lot of people, whether consci

In our last conversation about Mass Effect: Andromeda, we had divided opinions about its first few hours. I’d read it as a critique of the wonder and optimism that comes with space operas, but this is Mass Effect. There was such a great opportunity to do the ‘aliens land on earth’ story in reverse, with awe-struck aliens reacting to the existence of humans. There was such a great opportunity to do the ‘aliens land on earth’ story in reverse, with awe-struck aliens reacting to the existence of hu
