The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
After two years of stagnation, PC gamers are itching to get their hands on next generation graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD. Both companies delivered at this week’s CES, with a duo of new frame rippers that will certainly mildly whelm the PCMR. Radeon VII: AMD’s 7nm Titan AMD is targeting the high end market…
2018 has brought us a lot of negative news from the gaming industry. Whether it be toxic developers, greedy publishers, the hyper-politicization of the medium, or the usual sloppy releases, it’s easy to forget the good.

We don’t bother with bad games here at MMNTech Game of the Year Awards HQ. There are just way too many to chose from. Instead of bad, we go with the sad. The ones that left us feeling let down and empty inside. Like that Alanis Morissette song, playing at your grandma’s funeral, while Rian Johnson…
Bethesda’s latest entry into the Fallout series has, no surprises, a few technical issues.

A lot more expensive than the previous generation, with prices for the top end “Ti” models now bursting through the $1,000 barrier. With all the controversy surrounding the price hike, I decided to do some digging to see just how expensive they…

It’s alleged that the software, which retails for $40, allowed players to generate virtual currency and enable a “god mode” which makes them invulnerable among other things.

However, I think it’s important to raise awareness about how our hobby is being co-opted and demonized by the alt-left as part of this big dick (or pussy hat) waving contest for moral supremacy.

Late last week, adventure gaming gurus Telltale Games announced they would be closing their doors for good. The company had been facing financial difficulties for some time, though it seems like they’ve finally reached the end of the road.
