[Update]: God of War has now landed onto PC, and so far the port seems remarkably solid.
God of War, one of PlayStation 4's biggest hits, is coming to PC on January 14, 2022. It'll bring with it 4K support, an unlocked framerate, improved reflections and higher resolution shaders, as well as a whole assortment of other graphical settings and upgrades to mess around with.
So if you're wondering whether your PC will even be able to run God of War, wonder no more as the developers have now detailed the PC system requirements. Here's the brief rundown, including the targeted performance:
Halo Infinite's open-world singleplayer campaign has now finally arrived for PC and Xbox

[Update]: Halo Infinite's co-op campaign, Forge editor and Season 3 have been delayed until November 2022.
If you've had your fill of the free-to-play multiplayer and are now itching to sink your teeth into Halo Infinite's campaign mode, you'll be happy to hear that it has now finally arrived. However, unlike the multiplayer, the campaign requires an actual purchase and will set you back $60 or €60 for the whole experience.
As for the story, Halo Infinite's campaign will continue on after the events of Halo 5 and will task you with facing down The Banished on the Zeta Halo ringworld. Outmanned and outgunned, you'll need to fight against an assortment of heavily armed aliens in order to save the entirety of the universe... or as Master Chief probably sees it at this point, just have a nice Thursday evening.
Final Fantasy XIV's long-awaited Endwalker expansion has now finally been unleashed in full

[Update]: Final Fantasy XIV's Patch 6.1 will mark the beginning of a brand new story.
After going through a brief early access phase, Final Fantasy XIV's long-awaited Endwalker expansion has now finally been unleashed in full! It brings with it Sage and Reaper as new jobs, a whole bunch of new storylines and quests to uncover, new dungeons and raid, the male Viera as a new playable race, and the list goes on for quite a while.
What all of this looks like in game, that you can get a bit of a sneak peek at through the recently posted launch trailer. Have a gander, and do be warned that the video does feature some minor spoilers for the previous main storylines as they do directly lead into the Endwalker one:
MTG Arena is banning Ugin, Field of the Dead and Agent of Treachery from Historic Brawl

[Update]: MTG Arena's digital-only Alchemy format has now arrived, and with it a the Historic Brawl bans alongside an assortment of new and rebalanced cards.
Out of all the formats in MTG Arena, I find Historic Brawl to be the most enjoyable one. With a casual atmosphere and strength-based matchmaking to keep things fair, it's a format where you can take janky, nearly unplayable cards and then make entire decks around maximizing their potential. The end result will likely still be a mess, but it'll at least be a glorious mess!
Unfortunately, there are some cards that are simply so powerful that just about everyone includes them, which can often result in somewhat repetitive matches. Nowhere is this more apparent than with Field of the Dead, a humble land that can act as your win condition without requiring any serious deckbuilding constraints.
Total War: Warhammer 3's newest previews offers a close-up look at the Daemons of Slaanesh

[Update #2]: The latest gameplay focused preview shows off the armies of Slaanesh crushing an offensive from Nurgle.
[Update]: Good news, Creative Assembly has now finally released a preview of the campaign map!
Even though we've seen a fair few Slaaneshi daemons in action through the past few previews, they mostly served as punching bags for Nurgle's forces given that the focus was fully on the Lord of Decay. Now, however, it seems that it's time for indulgence, agony, and glorious excess!
So if you're curious what the daemons of Slaanesh have to offers, as well as just how spikey their army truly is, allow me to share with you the freshly posted "Enter the World of Slaanesh" preview. Have a gander:
Horizon Zero Dawn PC Update 1.11 has brought in even more visual and performance improvements
- By Ash
- in News
[Update]: Two years after its original launch, Horizon Forbidden West is coming to PC on March 21st.
The launch version of Horizon Zero Dawn on PC was a bit of a mess, and that's putting it lightly. The game suffered from performance issues, random crashes, mouse sensitivity problems, and most hilariously of all, a bug that made it so your character always walked at a very slight angle.
Over time time Guerrilla Games have managed to fix all of these issues, and so Horizon Zero Dawn is now a remarkably solid game on PC. However, this doesn't seem to have slowed Guerrilla Games down even slightly as they are still releasing new updates! In fact, a brand new one only just arrived with a new batch of visual and performance improvements!
Borderlands's RPG focused spin-off Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is launching on March 25, 2022

[Update #2]: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands has now been unleashed, and so far it's looking quite solid.
[Update]: Lengthy pre-launch preview for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands shows off some awesome locations and a bunch of bullet-spongy enemies.
If you've enjoyed the recently released standalone version of Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, you'll be happy to hear that Gearbox will soon be releasing an entire spin-off game that's just like it - Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. As the name would imply, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands will have you wonder across an absurd fantasy world smashing hordes of enemies and looting literally everything that isn't nailed down particularly well.
Along the way you'll be able to build up your character by mixing and matching talents from six different classes, upgrading your stats using "hero points", finding secret treasures on the overworld between quests, and naturally, equipping yourself with a vast array of procedurally generated weapons. The whole thing is pretty much Borderlands with a couple of twists, so if played any of the games in the series, odds are Tiny Tina's Wonderlands will be nice and familiar as well.
