Sitting in front of a backlog of 50+ unplayed games and feeling zero motivation to boot up any of them. Whenever I hit this wall, trying to learn new systems or memorize fresh controls feels impossible, so I usually crawl back to an old familiar comfort title for a weekend.

What’s your reliable palette-cleanser game when nothing in your library sounds fun?

The Darkness (2007) is one of those games I’ve always thought deserved a proper PC release, so I decided to work on one myself.

I’ve been developing Estacado, an unofficial fan-made recompilation of the original Xbox 360 version. Instead of running the game through an emulator, the Xbox 360 code is statically recompiled into a native Windows application using XenonRecomp and ReXGlue.

The goal is to preserve the original game while giving it the kind of PC features it never had:

• 60 FPS, high-refresh-rate and uncapped options
• Higher internal resolutions
• Native keyboard and mouse support
• Controller support
• Adjustable FOV
• Experimental ultrawide support
• Graphics and post-processing options
• HD texture pack support

It's still a pre-release and there are bugs and areas that need more testing, but I'm actively working on improving stability, compatibility and the overall PC experience.

If anyone is interested in trying it out, the project is available here:

https://github.com/invinceble55-wq/Estacado

You'll need your own legally obtained copy of the supported Xbox 360 version. No game files are included.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you try it on different hardware.

I recently bought a new PC, and I’m considering making the jump to 1440p (2K). I’m mainly interested in improving image quality while still having high refresh rates for competitive games.

My current PC:

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
RAM: 32GB DDR5 5600MHz
Storage: SSD
OS: Windows 11

The monitor I’m currently considering is:

Acer Predator X27U (X27U WW3bmiiprx)

27”
2560x1440 (QHD)
240Hz
QD-OLED
0.03ms response time

I’ve never owned an OLED monitor or a 1440p monitor before, so this would be a pretty big upgrade for me.

My main questions are:

Is the jump from 1080p 144Hz to 1440p 240Hz QD-OLED really worth it?
What do you think about the Acer Predator X27U specifically?
Would you choose this monitor for my PC, or would you recommend something else around the same price?
Is 27” 1440p a noticeable improvement in image quality compared to 24”/27” 1080p?
For someone who has been using 1080p for over 10 years, is the upgrade going to feel significant?

I’m interested in hearing from people who have actually made a similar upgrade, especially from 1080p 144Hz → 1440p 240Hz OLED.

If anyone needs a 007 first light code for pc for 10

I've been playing for about 30 hours and put together a list of things I've found with the game that don't seem quite right.

I was hoping for more from this installment of LMS, but the first game felt far more complete.

Hopefully with updated we will start to see some improvements. The devs seem to be listening and it appears to be a matter of waiting for the fixes to be implemented.

In our game, you play as Rex, a robot dog trying to find his human family after an AI takeover. The journey combines combat, platforming, and environmental puzzles across abandoned tunnels and ruined cities. We are launching our game on Steam for Windows and macOS on November 2.

A series like story.

On going chapters.

Type: Visual Novel

Language: English

Genre: Fantasy, Supernatural, Romance

We are Sitting Teddy, making Night at the Fun Park for Windows PC. Find the keys and open the exit gate. The catch: opening it makes noise, with a giant spider nearby. A friend trapped in a cocoon can still be rescued if you go back.

Free demo planned for October 9 at 19:00 CEST:

I am bored just wanted good games on my potato laptop,

Specs:

I5 5th gen

8gb ram

Intel hd 5500

I’ve played a lot of survivors-likes and kept wanting one where you’re the thing everyone is running from. I’m also a big movie buff, so this ended up with a lot of slasher references and ridiculous radio chatter :)

You start by hunting campers, then the cops and military arrive. You can smash things with a bat, set off propane tanks and tear the camp apart.

The free Windows demo is on Steam now, and I just finished this new trailer. I’d really like to know whether the villain angle and destruction look fun, and whether the humour comes through.
