The classic 1999 version of System Shock 2 is set to be pulled from sale on Steam later this week. It'll still be kicking around, but as a freebie offered to owners of the game's 25th anniversary remaster, rather than something you can buy separately on Valve's store.

Falling over is the thing in Baby Steps. Sure, the goal in Bennett Foddy and co's walking sim is technically getting from A to B despite your doughy corpus' best efforts to get in the way, but it's the constant stumbling and hilarious unintended pratfalls which make these sorts of games really sing. You get plenty of that playing alone, but for those who want to take things to the next level, Baby Steps has a multiplayer mod that'll let you slap against your mates and gently bump their mushy forms off course.

As someone from the north east of England, there's a good chance my genetic makeup's some mix of old school celt and one of the many Scandinavian invaders who sailed across looking to conquer back in a time when blokes called Cnut roamed northern Europe. I offer that background in case it helps you understand why, even though I'm not part t-rex as far as I know, the premise of Dinolords very much gets my blood pumping.

This year’s Amazon Prime Big Deal Days has been pretty rubbish for graphics card savings. Unfortunate, as if there’s one type of PC component that needs to get down the affordability gym and lose some money weight, it’s GPUs.

An 11% slashing brings this relatively VRAM rich model – in the form of a triple-fanned Gigabyte design – from $470 to $420, which further research confirms to be scraping the bottom end of 16GB RTX 5060 Ti prices.

It’s been over a year since I adopted the Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL as my daily keyboard, and here it is, still parked on my desk, ready and willing for me to bash out some nonsense about Titanfall or whatever. It’s also what I’m using you inform you that you can get one of your very own, for less, as the G515 is currently on sale both inside and out of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event.

God, look at me. Recommending a PCIe 5.0 SSD like I’m some Newegg banner ad. 2023 James would be violently sick. Yet it is in fact 2025, and while cheaper PCIe 4.0 drives still make the most sense to most people, newer and faster 5.0 models have begun to find their place as futureproofed upgrades to high-spec PCs. And if they can be made less of a luxury, all the better, as is the case with Amazon’s current sale on the WD Black SN8100.
