Great moments in PC gaming are bite-sized celebrations of some of our favorite gaming memories.
It's the little things that often get the biggest smiles. Jagged Alliance 2 is a game of wonderful details. You don’t assemble your team via a boring menu, but a series of fake internet pages that pretend to be respectable organisations, but are actually a darkweb-style affair for spies and military contractors. Every mercenary you hire for your mission to free a small island from its tyrannical dictator Deidranna has their own personality and relationships in addition to their skills…
…and even that flower shop has a purpose. Not, as you might think, because it’s covering for some high-tech weapons plant or top secret Illuminati-style organisation. No, it sends flowers. And you can order flowers. And more specifically, you can send them to the villain.
Ah. You don’t get high-class trolling like that in many games.
Path of Exile 2 gets its first hits with the nerf bat to bring mace slams, magnetic arrows, and stinky clouds in line: 'It is better to do this early'
'I got slapped by CD Projekt': Doug Cockle says he doesn't actually know if Geralt is in The Witcher 4 or not, but the studio wants him to shut up about it
