A year later, Razer's budget gaming chair is even more budget-friendly than it was meant to be
Cut to January of 2025; it’s CES time, and my jaw is just about on the floor. Razer has just revealed that it’s launching a budget-friendly gaming chair. I thought that was some kind of (very) early April Fool’s joke at the time. Razer’s gaming chairs have always been great, but the thought of a budget-friendly one sounds a bit impossible for a brand known for “Razer tax”.But a little more than a year on, the Iskur V2 X is actually even better value than what I thought was a joke price. This chair hasn’t seen its MSRP of $299…
The Steam Deck is an adequate vessel for Resident Evil Requiem, despite missing desktop-grade smoothness
Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun Steam Deck Academy brings together all our guides and explainers on getting the most out of your Steam Deck, no student loans or sweaty dormitories required. Resident Evil Requiem has, in terms of technical fidelity versus PC power demands, one of the best bang:buck ratios to come out of a triple-A’er in donkey’s ages. It’s not terribly surprising, then, that Requiem can run well enough on the Steam Deck too.
What are the best Marathon settings for PC? Bungie’s new extraction PvP shooter is one stylish addition to the multiplayer fps space, and thankfully, it’s not too demanding to run. We’ve fired up the early Marathon Server Slam – running until March 2 – and tested the game to find the best graphics and other settings to optimize this title for a typical mid-range PC. It’s still too early to tell if Marathon will end up being one of the best FPS games when the full Marathon release date rolls around on March 6. However, when the Marathon system requirements…

Finding the two batteries in Resident Evil Requiem is vital to get out of the Underground Parking Garage. This part of the game will have you doing a bunch of interconnected tasks, from tracking down some RE9 fuel to your ultimate goal of piecing together all the detonator parts in Resident Evil Requiem. Getting the batteries and slotting them into the port by the garage door might sound simple, but if you want to know what you’re up against, as well as where to actually go, I’ve written a step-by-step guide to finding both batteries in RE9 so you can…
Steam Deck OLED prices will rise in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan next week, but it's tough to tell whether that's a harbinger of wider hikes
The ongoing headache of RAMnarök has seen hardware prices rise and Valve’s Steam Decks go out of stock in certain regions of the world. So, today’s announcement that Steam Deck OLED prices in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are set to rise next month is the sort than might have you clutching your wallet. Though, having done some number exchanging, I can confirm that these hikes don’t actually send the affected regional prices vaulting a huge amount beyond their UK and US equivalents.
There’s a lot riding on Marathon. Having gone from ‘Concord 2.0’ to one of Steam’s most-wishlisted titles, Bungie’s been riding high of late. The FPS game’s recent trailers have been top tier, oozing cyberpunk style and encouraging you to really get into the ‘kill or be killed’ mindset. With a star-studded voice cast and colorful yet industrial worlds that consistently remind me of Mirror’s Edge, I went from completely disinterested to wanting to play overnight – and I’m someone who hates extraction shooters. With the Marathon Server Slam now live, Bungie’s latest has flown up the Steam charts, but a…

One thing people are certain of, however, is the fact that the Severed Hand is involved. If you’ve just picked up the Severed Hand and are wondering what you should do with it, we’re going to explain below, but it only leads to more questions.What to do with the Severed Hand – RE9 RequiemAfter you conquer the Care Center Basement portion of the game, you’ll be able to…
Zack Snyder would "still make Dark Knight Returns as a film" even though he admits he did "steal or borrow or homage as much as I could" from the comic
Zack Snyder has not fully wrapped his DC era just yet, as the filmmaker recently said he would still be interested in adapting The Dark Knight Returns “if that opportunity arose” in the future.Snyder is a huge fan of Frank Miller’s 1986 comic series, which heavily inspired his movies in the now defunct DC Extended Universe (DCEU).”I’ll be 100% honest – I would still make The Dark Knight Returns as a film if that opportunity arose,” Snyder said during a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Batman v Superman:…
