Turkish developer Taleworlds has been beavering away on Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord, for several years now, with only very infrequent teases of screenshots or engine features to keep the masses happy. It's fortunate then that its previous game, Warband, is still so playable thanks to the hundreds of mods …

Consoles aren't the most portable things in the world but Ed Zarick looks to be changing that by showing off and selling the PlayBook 4 and Xbook One- laptop versions of Sony and Microsoft's latest consoles. However, you'll need to have a wedge of disposable income in order to afford …

You can now hack things in Grand Theft Auto IV, thanks to a new mod that transforms the game in to Watch Dogs. The mod is available now and lets Nico Bellic take on the Aiden Pearce persona. Players can hack in to pay phones, cash machines, ticket machines, wall …

It was bound to happen eventually, just like the cease and desist notice that will follow its popularisation, but Defense of the Legends is a new modification being worked on for Valve's DotA 2 and it changes the game quite dramatically, with the eventual intention of making it so you …

Grim Fandango is one of the best remembered adventure titles of yesteryear, making it criminal that it's yet to appear on a site like GoG.com. However, at least if you do manage to get yourself a disc copy, or find a dubiously legal copy on some file sharing site, you'll …

Invited down to a glamorous hotel in central London by YOYOTech to see ‘The Resurgence of PC Gaming', KitGuru was intrigued. The Centerprise performance PC brand was certainly acting confident, but in the face of recent IDC and Gartner reports, was that confidence mis-placed?  Ignoring the wine and nibbles, we …

Oi, PC modders, you're slacking man. Seriously. I know you've made some pretty sweet looking rigs over the years, but I guarantee you've never made something as Kitguru-ified as this one. Granted this was probably a bit cheaper than most and it can't play any of the latest games – …

Skyrim's main game was impressive when it was released, sure, but it will perhaps be better remembered for its sheer number of mods, conversions, tweaks and content packs. Now it's that latter category of work that has landed Alexander J. Velicky a job at Bungie, a year after he released the …

Finally, the future is here. The UK is set to recruit a new generation of cyber soldiers, digital warriors and hacking heroes, in an effort to counter current and future security problems in the digital sphere of combat. No longer will the British isles lag behind countries like the US …

Project Reality, a mod that took eight years of hard labour on various game engines to create, is now set to grow from a simple mod to a whole standalone title focusing on realism, immersion and teamwork. All too often those types of shooters end up being tactless affairs with …

I'm a big fan of retro gaming. Not only does it let you get a good dose of nostalgia, but it's a great reminder that a game doesn't need to be the latest and greatest AAA offering to be great – there are games made over 20 years ago that …

SimCity has been causing problems for gamers since release. Whether it's the always-on DRM, the restrictive city sizes, the god awful AI, or the fact that for days players weren't even able to connect to the main servers. Some of these issues have been fixed, but you can still only …

While Apple sells the world on a dream comprised of 50 shades of grey, the hardcore modders among you will crave something a little different. Over at GamesCom 2012, a large section of Hall 11 has been dedicated to the past (retro gaming), present (extreme sports) and the future (experimental …

This year we have reviewed a number of custom gaming PCs including the Palicomp Alpha Pulse, which we looked at quite recently.  This system offered good value for money and was ideal for someone looking for a capable gaming system without spending a ridiculous amount of money. We don't like …
