     Doom is back, enhanced, better than ever, and free to upgrade

Doom. I don't really need to tell you why it matters. Probably the most important FPS game to ever grace the PC, the 1993 shooter and its sequel Doom 2 would define an entire genre and set the standard for everything to come - Call of Duty, Half-Life, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, Halo, Battlefield, Apex Legends, you name it. Now, the original id Software classics are back in a remastered form that's bigger and better than ever before, and the best part is that you might just get them for free on Steam.

     New Fallout 1 remake built by modders is available to try right now

The original Fallout belongs to that small canon of games that changed the PC forever. Up there with Civilization, Half-Life, Command and Conquer, The Sims, and Myst, though I personally maintain it's just as good and worth playing now as it was in 1997, Black Isle and Interplay's apocalypse RPG is also an object of its time - unforgiving, inscrutable, and sometimes more fuss than fun. Fallout London may set a new standard for total conversion and fan-game mods, but there's another ambitious project that deserves your attention. A would-be Fallout 1 remake built in FO4, Vault 13 is finally available to try.

     FF14 server status and maintenance times - is FFXIV down?

Is FF14 down? If you can't log on to FF14 or access your character, it might be due to ongoing maintenance or server issues. Before worrying about any problems with your game, you'll want to check the FF14 server status and currently scheduled maintenance times below to see if the MMO is offline.

If you can't log into FF14, it's typically because of planned maintenance.

     God of War Ragnarok system requirements

What are the God of War Ragnarok system requirements? We now know that God of War Ragnarok will arrive on PC in September this year, and its system requirements span five categories. The requirements for 1080p play at 30fps aren't too demanding, but you'll need some serious power in your rig if you want to play the game at 4K.

You don't quite need the very best graphics card to run God of War: Ragnarok at 4K resolution, but it's not far off. However, if you're only looking to play at low settings at 1080p, the ubiquitous Nvidia GTX 1060 is still capable of playing the game.

The Logitech G502 is the best-selling gaming mouse range of all time, with over 21 million units of the ten-year-old design having been sold so far.

     Does Once Human have PvP?

Does Once Human have PvP? Yes, the upcoming survival game does feature both PvP and PvE servers, and seeing as you won't be able to transfer your data between servers, it's worth understanding the difference between the game modes before you jump in.

There are two types of servers in Once Human, within each server there are Worlds which you can switch between without losing your character progression. These Worlds let you carry over your gear and items, and you can even use the Move Territory function to transfer entire buildings. If you're concerned about the servers post-launch, keep up to date with the Once Human server status, and whether you'll be able to play with mates across platforms with our Once Human crossplay guide.

The new God Of War duology has my favourite snow in gaming. I can take or leave about 60% of everything else in them, but lawdy, that snow! In God Of War Ragnarok, the action kicks off a during the apocalyptic fimbulwinter, which is probably bad for some characters I don't care about, but it is good for me personally, because there's a lot of snow to play with.

How much snow, you ask? 190 flippin' gigs worth, apparently, according to Sony's system requirements.

Yesterday, Nic took James and I on a tour of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's co-op campaign. A merry old time was had, romping through fortress cities like a small herd of crusader buffalo, using the game's absurd jetpack functionality to pancake invading Tyranids, and getting our screens so slathered in gore we couldn't work out who was killing what.

It looks like the gargantuan action game's PvP multiplayer will be even messier. Saber and Focus Home have released an extended trailer that walks you through two major modes - the PvE boss and wave-slaying frenzy of Operations, and the 12-player PvP carnage of Eternal War, which spans a range of match types. The ecstasy of dying for the Emperor aside, both give me frightful flashbacks to the early days of Gears Of War.
