Real opening paragraph in an Official Nintendo Magazine feature

"I once punched my younger brother so hard in the chest that he vomited up that morning's breakfast - cornflakes mainly. It wasn't technically the Heimlich manoevre, as he wasn't choking and I wasn't trying to save him-"

jokes aside, can you imagine how you would handle it if you asked a human assistant "did you make all this up instead of actually doing any of the work", and that person responded to you with "good catch"

More troubling, they have spilled into mine.

The solo dev behind RPG Sword Hero is promising a 'seamless open world' with amazing combat, intricate simulation, and systemic dismemberment—the demo on Steam makes me think they can pull it off Sword Hero: An almost parodically unspecific name for an incredible-looking game

The @pcgamer.com team is constantly introducing me to cool games I hadn't heard of. @dilfpatrol.bsky.social turned me on to Sword Hero recently and it looks sick.

Call of Duty was saved against the odds when Infinity Ward imploded Modern Warfare 3 co-director Glen Schofield tells the dramatic story of its making first-hand.

I talked to Glen Schofield about maybe the most fascinating and volatile moment of FPS history - when he took the reins of the world's most anticipated game amid the breakdown of Infinity Ward. www.pcgamer.com/games/call-o...

Can you guess the game based only on a blurb from a Steam review? Take our quiz and see if you score a thumbs up! We're (overwhelmingly) positive you'll do great on this quiz.

We joke about Steam reviews but sometimes they get their point across in a single sentence whereas it takes me about 1,800 words. Anyway, I made a quiz where you try to guess the game based only on a blurb from a Steam review. Pretty much everyone is is acing it. www.pcgamer.com/games/can-yo...

alright calm down borderlands

A triangular range chart labeled "Indie Game Vibe Check", where the three axes are "Enpoisoned", "Pumpy's Big Clumpy", and "Misty Cube". Each intersection features a game - Lunacid is the most Enpoisoned, Untitled Goose Game is the most Pumpy's Big Clumpy, and Manifold Garden is the most Misty Cube. Undertale is directly in the center, surrounded by Tunic (Pumpy), Void Stranger (Misty), and Star of Providence (Poison)

I strongly believe in the breadth and influence of independent art, to grant us oblique angles on the world and ourselves.
But also every indie game is somewhere on this spectrum:

There’s a great tradition of HEALTH enjoyers on PCG.

What's in your FPS rotation? The shooters you're always playing, but never at the same time.

In the second edition of my FPS column, FOV 90, we're talking FPS rotations: Do you cycle between a handful of familiar shooters that continue to be great? www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/wh...

Weak sauce, to the surprise of nobody. But I suppose when everyone else is caving - judiciary, education, media - it makes it easier to join the club.

Back in the early 90s my old man, who was a minor TV exec in the UK, found himself on a website listing the Jews who run the media. He wasn’t even distantly Jewish! (He’d been involved in a documentary about Simon Wiesenthal, the nazi hunter, so they just assumed 🤷‍♂️)

It’d just be me, alone, saying how bad the Sky front office sucks

HELLUVA game between the Storm and Aces.

(This is also me hard launching my new sport fandom.)

It’s giving agents Johnson and Johnson from Die Hard.

Randomly heard Lucretia My Reflection and was like ‘huh, I see what those kids at school were into now’

Somehow, now feels like the exact right time to get into Sisters of Mercy. 🦇

Why we don't have a Borderlands 4 review yet PC Gamer wasn't offered early review access, but will be covering Borderlands 4 extensively after launch.

I feel like whenever this guy appears on your screen you know some horrendous shit is about to go down.

Caput Mortem is an unsettling medieval horror game that crams an absurd number of great ideas into a $12, 2-hour package Hangin' with homunculi.

Take some time out of your Silksonging to read @dilfpatrol.bsky.social on cool indie horror and the eternal value of tank controls:

"Caput Mortum ... makes the controls one of your primary enemies, elevating a pretty good horror game to a truly memorable one."

Holy smokes, just saw that @pcgamer.com covered the Palestine games charity bundle too!!! Thank you so much for the coverage!! ❤️

As Bungie flounders following Destiny 2's disastrous Portal update, is there any saving the game? I committed myself to the new uber-grindy Destiny 2, and it was so much worse than I thought.

Hello, I am sad about the videogame. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/as...

I just bought some gorgeous Roman gladiator Destiny skins 🥹

Paige Bueckers is unreal.

This was a painful story to write about my favourite game, but I fear that, if anything, I am underselling the size of the problems it now faces.

YouTube video by Rotten Tomatoes Trailers Together Trailer #1 (2025)

Strong recommend from me for Together, the new Alison Brie and Dave Franco body horror movie. Creepy, funny, and surprisingly sweet in places. 💀💀💀💀

Here's the trailer, but as ever you're better off not watching the trailer and going in cold.

That’s incredible.

Patrick, I would delete so many currencies.
