The sweet spot for a modern gaming monitor is still 1440p. It delivers the perfect mix of high resolution, high refresh rate, and performance that won’t stall on a mid-range graphics card. It also helps that you can pick up such a panel, in the Pixio PXC277 Advanced for just $220 at Amazon today.

Normally we’d be skeptical about such a cheap screen, and just how well it would actually perform once you plugged it in and started gaming on it. But we’ve got this particular screen in the office and our monitor expert, Jeremy, was seriously impressed when he was testing it for our Pixio PXC277 Advanced review.

For a 27-inch 2560×1440 panel to deliver the sort of gaming experience we’ve seen on this display, and cost this little, well, it’s pretty damned cool. This is honestly all…

Square Enix has suspended its housing demolition process in Final Fantasy 14, following an earthquake in the Noto Peninsula of Japan on New Year’s Day. The 7.6 magnitude earthquake has left thousands without power or shelter.

The scale of the disaster is not yet clear, although the BBC reports at least 80 confirmed deaths. Due to the difficult nature of search & rescue after the collapse of major infrastructure, it’s likely that figure will rise in the coming days. Sky reports that at least 33,000 have had to evacuate, with many of the worst-hit areas “inaccessible” due to destroyed roads. Officials have also stated that some 100,000 homes have no water supply.

As to what this means for players: FF14’s player housing system has a limited number of wards on every server&m…

Helldivers 2 had its first balance patch yesterday and—as one might expect—it’s not gone down splendidly.

In case you’re unfamiliar, one of the best higher-difficulty weapons received significant nerfs due to its overuse. According to Arrowhead, the railgun was meant to be an “anti-tank sniper rifle” rather than the best-in-slot support weapon it very much became. Previously, this thing was capable of capping chargers and bile titans with a few well-placed rounds.

It can still take out heavily-armoured opponents, it just requires a little more skill—the ‘unsafe’ mode has a chance of blowing you up if you hold fire for too long, but it also increases its armour-piercing qualities. Limb damage has also been reduced, so you need to aim for headshots.

We’ve known of Stadia’s imminent January 18 shutdown since September 2022, but Google has now unveiled its official time of death: 11:59 PM PT. With only seven days remaining until the platform shuffles off this mortal coil, its small but dedicated fanbase is banding together to mourn what could have been.

The Stadia subreddit has had long-time and returning players trickling in to pay respects. Some have been sharing their playtime, having poured thousands of hours into games like Crayta, Dead by Daylight and Destiny 2. Others have been thanking Stadia for being their platform of choice over the years. One Reddit user said “As a dad with little time to game, Stadia was great for me,” adding it was “so easy to just open a browser and play.” 

Some Stadia fans are even tr…

AI-generated voices can be good, or they can be bad—as Witcher voice actor Doug Cockle said, it really all comes down to the intent of the user. How to effectively address the potential for misuse is a big question, but the US Federal Communications Commission has now taken a step to crack down on at least one avenue of misuse by outlawing AI-generated voices in robocalls.

Robocalls are automated phone calls that play a pre-recorded message, commonly used for telemarketing or political campaigns. They’re an aggravation at the best of times, but the rise of AI makes them especially dangerous because instead of a random voice, a person might hear Clint Eastwood, Gregory Peck, or US president Joe Biden. That last one actually happened in January, when a fake-Biden-voiced roboca…
