The Best PC Game of All Time

Provided free of charge by Sennheiser for review. A lright, so you’ve gone and got yourself a fancy headset capable of delivering sound to your ears that’s so good you might just orgasm right there on the spot, horrifying anybody who is unlucky enough to be in the same room as you, but somehow something still isn’t right. Cue the GSX 1000, an external DAC (Digital Analog Converter) and amplifier combo that replaces your computers onboard audio in order to give your headphones all the love they truly deserve. The little box of wonders definitely looks the part with a clean, black finish and a silver volume control that turns fantastically smoothly. The silver ring is accented by gentle red LED lights that circle it, and in the middle there is a touchscreen for adjusting a small selection of settings. Finally, a little stand at the back lets you angle the whole unit for when it’s sitting on your desk. It looks and feels like a premium piece of kit, and considering the £220 price-tag t...

As a member of the kilted nation known as Scotland, I’ve always felt that me and my kin don’t get much representation in video games, our brief appearances usually being limited to some swearing or a heavily stereotypical character who loves drinking fighting and is ginger. But Wulverblade seeks to put Scotland in the limelight, specifically, our history against the mighty Roman Empire where the Pictish people held against the best the Romans could offer before Hadrian’s wall was constructed and Rome decided it just wasn’t going to be worth the bloody effort. So, to break the stereotypical image of the Scottish you play as a ginger guy or girl who loves to fight and drink Okay, so the Scottish stereotypes are true. Sue us. We like fig...

Screaming round a dirt bend at speeds no mortal should ever consider while nursing a punctured tire is when DiRT 4 is at its very best, the frantic desire to be the fastest having to be weighed against the need to just finish the stage and get a chance to repair your limping car. But as we’ll find out there are a few problems holding DiRT 4 back from being as good as it could be. Before you get going there’s a beefy tutorial which does an excellent job of getting you up to speed, teaching you all the basics behind Scandinavian flicks, handbrake turns, braking techniques, the differences between FWD and RWD and much more. It’s a vast improvement over DiRT Rally’s lacking tutorial, for sure. Career mode does exactly what you’d expect with no big surprises. As you complete rally events the next batch ...

Tetris Effect blends the world of visionary studio Enhance with the time-tested, near-perfect rules of Tetris for a euphoric sensory experience. I reviewed it last year for the PlayStation 4, and today, it’s finally out on PC. With enhanced visuals, it looks better than ever. Check out the video to see it for yourself on high-graphics settings. Tetris Effect is already a gorgeous spectacle to dive into on the PS4, especially on a 4K-resolution display with HDR enabled. And if you own a PlayStation VR headset, the optional virtual reality mode turns this game into an entirely different experience. It’s one thing to play it on a 4K TV; it’s another to play it in VR and see snowflakes swirl and dance around you on a gorgeous mountain peak under the setting sun. I got a chance to interview Enhance’s Tetsuya Mizuguchi and Mark MacDonald about the long journey to Tetris Effect. The PC version features support for both the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift. In regular 2D mode, you can crank those ...

Controlling both Ryu and Ken in Street Fighter Alpha’s Dramatic Battle mode, using one hand for each character, he beats the snot out of devilish dictator M. Bison and defeats the two-player cooperative mode by himself. In addition to regular versus and story modes, the Street Fighter Alpha series is unique in that it allows two players to team up via the Dramatic Battle mode to take on a computer-controlled opponent. While it would expand in future games, allowing players to use every character in the game, the mode’s first iteration in the original Street Fighter Alpha was limited to Ryu and Ken as an homage to their final fight with M. Bison in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. Unlike in the movie, however, M. Bison doesn’t even get a chance...
