Cheese Rolling is the best free Steam game about the age-old English tradition of hurling yourself down a hillside in pursuit of tumbling dairy

by

Every year since at least 1826, hundreds of questionably-hinged individuals from around the globe gather at Cooper’s Hill in Gloucestershire to enjoy the privilege of throwing themselves down a steep slope to chase a rolling wheel of Double Gloucester cheese.

To the dismay of sweaty ‘movement kids,’ Battlefield 6 is nerfing Call of Duty sliding and jumping to maintain a ‘traditional Battlefield experience’

by

Duck, dive, and dodge: Following feedback from the Battlefield 6 beta that its movement was too squirrely and unpredictable, Battlefield Studios is planning significant changes for the full release.

Eric Barone says he doesn’t get paid for Stardew Valley collabs, and that’s the way he likes it: ‘I wouldn’t want to make money from a collaboration’

It’s taken a long time to get here but you can now buy a non-Founders Edition GeForce RTX 5090 at Nvidia’s MSRP

by

I’d fully understand if you were thinking right now that this couldn’t possibly be a deal because that price tag is essentially Nvidia’s MSRP for its GeForce RTX 5090. The thing is, up until very recently, finding a third-party AIB (add-in board) model anywhere near this level was just about impossible, but as supply has … Read more

MSI Stealth 18 HX AI review

Today’s best MSI Stealth 18 HX AI deals Bigger is always better in computing. Just maybe don’t try and tell that to the SFF guys with their Fractal Terras and neat cable routing. But in these terms the 18-inch gaming laptop is a desktop replacement beast; it’s the largest form of laptop and a crazy … Read more
