     Intel and Samsung have officially lost the chip making crown

After years of dominance by Intel followed by a more recent battle for supremacy with Samsung, the crown for the biggest silicon chip manufacturer has finally been claimed by industry stalwart TSMC.

Having for years been the producer of chip designs by AMD, Apple, Intel, Nvidia, and many other companies, the imaginatively named Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC) has produced many of the best gaming CPUs and GPUs for a long time. However, with Intel dominating the broader processor market and Samsung producing masses of mobile and memory chips, it's only now TSMC has finally taken the top spot.

     GTA 6 comes to Los Santos with this new GTA 5 mod

GTA 6 has arrived early, at least in spirit, courtesy of a new GTA 5 mod that brings upcoming protagonist Lucia to the second best-selling game of all time. Rockstar's behemoth is over a decade old now, and while this addition is a fun little early taste of what's to come from the long-awaited next Grand Theft Auto game, it's also a welcome reminder of just how far videogames have come as we book our tickets to Vice City.

     Paralives release date estimate and latest news

When is the Paralives release date? This upcoming life sim has been likened to The Sims, and it's easy to see why. With cute outfits, tons of items, an extensive character creator, build mode, and extra features we wish were in The Sims, there's a lot to look forward to.

Paralives is an ambitious project, but we already know a fair bit about what's headed to this simulation game. What first started off as a Patreon project by a lone developer in 2019, has developed into a life sim game set to rival the genre. Though the studio does rely on community pledges to keep the game in development, the official website is great at keeping the community up to date with progress and what to expect next.

If you're reading this, it's because you wish to migrate your saved world over from the Game Pass PC client to the Steam version, whether it's to ensure you won't lose your progress or join other Steam users.

What are the CS2 maps? The arenas in which glory is earned. The crucible to which you and your rag-tag squad will attempt to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The lovely-looking maps where you're bound to hit a few sick AWP shots, probably.

Counter-Strike 2 is a free upgrade to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, reinventing several important elements that fans know and love, such as CSGO console commands and the CSGO ranks system. While the free PC game retains the same competitive energy, Valve has put a fresh coat of paint on maps and visuals. Here is every Counter-Strike 2 map that you can try out in both unranked and ranked play.

     CS2 skins explained

How do CS2 skins work? CS2 skins alter the appearance of weapons, gloves, and knives, giving players the chance to show off their library of digital assets. Returning Counter-Strike players were worried that their CSGO skins weren't going to transfer over to CS2, but Valve quelled any fears when it officially announced the game in March 2023.

Owning Counter-Strike 2 skins isn't just about making a fashion statement. It's about putting your mark on your implements of death. It's about showing off your expertise, and, occasionally, selling on for a decent profit - maybe just wait for the skin prices to calm down a little before you decide on investing too much. Now that the Counter-Strike 2 release date is finally here, this is everything you need to know about CS2 skins before you jump in.

When is the Nightingale release date? Nightingale is an upcoming open-world survival game from Inflexion Games, and like similar games in its genre, there's plenty of gathering and building. However, what sets Nightingale apart is the assortment of procedurally generated magical realms and its roguelite card system, supported by a post-apocalyptic gaslamp fantasy story set in a parallel universe.

Meanwhile, the developers have been generous in their information supply, providing us with blog posts, gameplay videos, and even the Nightingale system requirements.

In 2024, it's too easy to shrug off the unrelenting brilliance of Valve's Half-Life series.

Still, it's demonstrably correct, and it's this brilliance alone that explains why anyone's still talking about Half-Life 3.

     Genshin Impact tier list February 2024: the best characters in 4.4

Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently 79 Genshin Impact characters available, providing you with a wide variety of candidates to construct your dream team. But with so many different weapons, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellation upgrades, finding your favorites can be challenging.

Don't let the placement of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list deter you from pulling on the next character banner. While base stats and elemental abilities are important, the value of a character also depends on personal playstyle, available weapons and artifacts, and team composition. It doesn't matter if your favorite Genshin Impact character is on one of the lower tiers; you can still make it work with our recommended Genshin Impact builds. Being on a lower tier in the free PC game means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine. We've spent hundreds of hours trying different variations of teams in Spiral Abyss to establish who the best characters are in Genshin Impact.

When is the Toxic Commando release date? We can get firmly behind anything with John Carpenter's name on, so imagine our delight when John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, a videogame inspired by '80s horror and action and created by the horror legend himself was revealed during Summer Game Fest 2023.

Part FPS game, part zombie game, part nostalgic horror trip, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando (herein referred to as just Toxic Commando) is set in the "near future", while being inspired by the mix of gore, comedy, and action of classic 1980s horror. While you might expect a slick, professional, and deadly team of mercenaries in a modern FPS, ready to take on the latest horror, The Toxic Commandos were the more affordable alternative, so they'll do their best - at your behest - with some buddy-humor and bad singing thrown in for good measure.

     Asus battles Logitech and Razer with its wobbly new gaming mic

Asus has just announced a new gaming mic, the ROG Carnyx, which while on the surface appears to be just a very RGB-filled and angular alternative to more established options, actually includes several notable features.

The new Asus option vying for a place on our best gaming mic guide includes a 25mm condenser capsule - the bit that actually captures the sound, which is quite bit larger than the typical 14-17mm size used by the likes of the Logitech G Yeti X and Elgato Wave 3, although the recently announced Xtrfy NGale X also has a 25mm capsule. The bigger the capsule, the generally more sensitive it is, though smaller capsules can be better at picking up higher frequencies so as ever in life, there's a balance.

The best AIO cooler will stop your CPU from overheating during intense gaming sessions while keeping the inside of your PC looking spacious and clean. Custom water cooling might look even slicker, and air coolers can be cheaper, but a top AIO cooler is a great way to keep your CPU cool.

You might think liquids shouldn't mix with electronics, yet an effective pump and radiator combo will move heat away from that CPU faster than you can say 'thermal throttling'.

     New Intel CPUs could be going all in on gaming with pure P-Cores

We thought we had seen the last Intel CPU series based on its aging LGA1700 socket, but recent rumors have suggested we'll be getting one more lineup of chips that will fit into these old motherboards. What's more, the very latest rumor suggests there could be reason to be quite excited for the upcoming Bartlett Lake-S CPU launch, as there could be variants of the chips that ditch E-Cores and use only P-Cores for pure desktop PC power.

The new Intel processor rumor hints at the company potentially finding a way to cunningly sneak a few chips onto our best gaming CPU list without the need for a completely brand-new architecture. While its 14th gen CPUs were impressive in some ways, for most gamers and desktop PC users, the power-sipping E-Cores weren't a huge selling point. However, a pure P-Core chip could be a great option, if its priced right.

The latest Counter-Strike 2 update re-introduces Arms Race, a beloved multiplayer mode from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in which players level up and are handed new guns as they moider each other, with victory going to the player who levels all the way up and performs a final knifekill.

I've played many variations of this mode - which was originally a mod, Gun Game - over the years in other games, and it's always a laugh, for the simple reason that it can be tuned to allow less proficient FPS players to catch up with their brethren, by introducing less powerful or harder-to-master weapons at certain levels as "speed bumps".

Much hay is made of the concepting of Batman villains, especially from 60s TV series ft. Adam West. It's done within canon, even! The Condiment King was created for the 90s animated series as a play on those kinds of whimisical, pun-focused villains. He shoots sauce and says things like "You just don't cut the mustard, Batman!". Maybe when you have to put out at least one issue a month, you throw a lot of villain spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks, and once something does you then go about making "guy who has a thing for the calendar" more of a rounded character - a sinister dude with a weird backstory. Or you make him the world's greatest wife guy.

The new trailer begins with Senadina at home, waiting for the Dreamseeker. When she appears, the two dash out to see the outside world. It's then that she's introduced as a "trendy" character who is "enigmatic" and has "Martian aesthetics." She's also described as being someone really lively who can help pull the new characters together. The team also mentioned she's designed to look futuristic, to tie into the sci-fi elements and as though she came from Mars.

As for gameplay, the team noted that due to the secrecy surrounding her that they didn't have much of her background when designing her. From what they did know, they decided to make her yoyo her signature weapon. The team also mentioned it took over half a year to put together the Honkai Impact 3rd Senadina Deepspace Anchor: First Light battlesuit and included a yoyo expert to consult and put on a performance to be used in the game.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available for the PC and mobile devices, and the Part 2 version 7.3 release date is February 29, 2024.

Each of the images feature the characters in a location relevant to their story, with Cid sitting atop the landed plane Tiny Bronco, and Vincent brooding over a stormy Nibelheim. Red XIII stands next to the petrified body of his father, and Aerith is pictured kneeling and praying to the lifestream. Each one of these images is based on an original piece of key art from the PlayStation release.

The tweet featuring Aerith's art also contains the message "The world will be saved, but will you," further teasing theories about what her fate in the remake will be.

     The fastest way to level up battle pass in MW3It's crunch time again. The end of the Call Of Duty MW3 season is upon us and there are only mere days to level up and complete the Battle Pass.

     Ff7 Rebirth DemoThe first part of the FF7 Rebirth Demo, Fall of a Hero in Nibelheim, is available for players to play, but first you gotta know not only how to install it, but whether you have adequate space for it. Downloading the FF7 Rebirth Demo Before we get into it, it's important to note that this demo is exclusively for PS5. If you don't have access to that console, then you will simply be missing out. It's likely that the second part of the demo will also be a PS5 exclusive. I'm sure there'll be plenty of streamers or YouTubers covering the demo so you won't have to fully miss out.

Otherwise, type out the game in the search bar, and it'll pop up as a result. Thankfully, it's super easy to download this demo, as once you've got the game's page up, simply click on the 'De...
