No consumer should take a side in the ongoing war between Apple and Epic Games over Fortnite direct payments.” Read more at PCMag.

New DVD releasefuture, gaming, graphics, nvidia, showcase

Nvidia has confirmed the first details for their GeForce RTX 30 series of GPUs, and the specs and prices of these upcoming graphic cards are already sending shockwaves throughout the industry.

How the System Shock Remake Modernizes a PC Gaming Classic

When LookingGlass Technologies’ System Shock released in 1994, few people knew what to make of it. It was a first-person game with action and guns, but it most certainly wasn’t a first-person shooter like Doom, which had been released less than a year before System Shock.

While System Shock received quite a bit of praise from critics and players who took a chance on it, but it wasn’t exactly revered as a game-changer or considered a major hit at…
