"I need that shit you drive"

PS2 Feature | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Official ‘next-gen GTA may be bearing down on us like a ton of psychos, but you know what? San Andreas was damn near ‘next gen in 2005. Its still so far ahead of the competition its not even funny. Except San Andreas is often funny too. Quite how Rockstar fitted it on the disc, let alone created it all before the universe ended, is beyond us. Each of the 90s era cities of Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas is huge – LS alone is probably the size of Vice City – but ...

Your most wanted PC games

PC Feature | PC

Hellgate: London Ooh, this'd better be good, or else. We're hoping for Diablo- beating crazed action, as London becomes infected with unclean horrors. To go with the previously announced Cabalist and Templar factions, Flagship have announced another: the Hunter. He's a clever addition, ramping up the action by not using the auto-aiming or target-locking that aid other classes, creating something the developers say will "appeal directly to FPS ...

Banned

PC Feature | PC

Freedom of speech is a fundamental building block of not just the US, but many of the world's civilized countries. However, when free speech consists of exposing our impressionable populace to content of questionable taste, the ruling suits often step in and make exceptions. In some cases - snuff films, for instance - it makes sense. Other times... we'll let you be the judge. United States of America Land of the free? Riiight. While very few games are actually banned in the US - and even when ...

The Next Generation PC - Day 3

PC Feature | Windows Vista

1) Processor It's a good idea to install everything you can onto your motherboard before you fit it in the case, so start with the CPU. We're using an Intel Core 2 processor, which doesn't have any fragile pins to break. Just pull up the latch on the board, raise up the metal lid, then fit the processor in. There are notches on it that match the socket, so you can't get it wrong. Then, lower the lid and clip the latch back on. If your processor came with a fan and heatsink, there'll be some ...
