The second, and last, part of the news:

THERE'S A NEW DON BRADMAN CRICKET GAME RELEASING THIS YEAR

http://www.pcgamer.com/theres-a-new-don-bradman-cricket-game-releasing-this-year/

When the first Don Bradman Cricket game released in 2014, it achieved what many at the time believed impossible: it was a decent cricket video game. Remember, it released soon after the abomination that was Ashes Cricket 2013, and it had some neat features as well, such as the ability to customise teams and to share them with all and sundry online.

MASSIVE TRAILER DETAILS FINAL FANTASY 14 PATCH 3.3: REVENGE OF THE HORDE

http://www.pcgamer.com/massive-trailer-details-final-fantasy-14-patch-33-revenge-of-the-horde/

Clear your schedules, Final Fantasy 14 fans: Square Enix has released a colossal eight-minute trailer detailing patch 3.3, Revenge of the Horde. The first we heard of Revenge of the Horde was an insubstantial teaser a month ago. This trailer might be overcompensating.

HITMAN'S SECOND ELUSIVE TARGET IS NOW LIVE, SO TO SPEAK

http://www.pcgamer.com/hitmans-second-elusive-target-is-now-live-so-to-speak/

As I write, the Congressman is walking the streets of Sapienza, surrounded by muscle and personal assistants. One way or another he'll be gone before two days are up.

http://www.pcgamer.com/solforge-officially-launching-next-week-with-a-ranked-ladder-and-a-brand-new-ui/

It can be hard to keep track of all the free-to-play digital card games popping up lately, but SolForge is one of the longest running options out there. After nearly three years in Early Access, it will be hitting 1.0 and going into full launch next Tuesday, May 31. The official release will come with a completely revamped UI, a ranked ladder mode, new cards, and a whole lot more changes.

PILLARS IS THE NEXT CRAZY ARENA TO JOIN ROCKET LABS

http://www.pcgamer.com/pillars-is-the-next-crazy-arena-to-join-rocket-labs/

The intimidating Pillars arena will be joining Rocket League's Rocket Labs playlist in the June update. I'm desperately trying to think of a way to describe it without just repeating the word 'pillars'.

WARHAMMER: END TIMES - VERMINTIDE IS FREE ON STEAM THIS WEEKEND

http://www.pcgamer.com/warhammer-end-times-vermintide-is-free-on-steam-this-weekend/

Sit bolt upright in your Warhammer-branded seat, steady your Warhammer-themed coffee mug and get ready to play some more Warhammer video games, because Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide is free on Steam this weekend. Granted, you may be busy playing Total War: Warhammer, or Warhammer: Arcane Magic, but if it's a Warhammer life you lead, Vermintide is among the more satisfying Warhammer tie-ins.

And talking about free games: The 50 best free PC games http://www.pcgamer.com/the-50-best-free-pc-games/

Enjoy your weekend.

Doom (2016) in solid 4K / 60 fps, while the air-cooled card keeps cool and silent. Nice!

For those planing to get a GTX 1080, but don't want to get a reference card Founders Edition, videocardz.com has made a list with all the announced custom boards with pictures, their base and boost frequencies and number of fans and power connectors.

Awesomesauce, though I might now wait on what the ti model can do and it;s PP and specs.

I just plugged my Logitech G402... then Windows 10 stealth downloaded Logitech software automatically without permission lol

New info/leaks for the Nvidia GTX 1070 and AMD's RX 480

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming Performance and Overclocked Results Unveiled – Power Consumption on Par With GTX 960, Cruises Past The Titan X

http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-titan-x-killer/#ixzz4A3R5sBkS

The Titan X killer has arrived and from the same company who created the GM200 based graphics card. We are talking about none other than the GeForce GTX 1070 whose gaming performance results have been unveiled by technology site Cubic who have published a detailed review of the graphics card.

One thing you will notice as you navigate through the benchmarks and performance results is that the GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition (the card reviewed) was faster than the GeForce GTX Titan X in almost all cases. The GeForce GTX 1070 results show that the GeForce GTX Titan X and GeForce GTX 980 Ti at their current price will soon be a thing of the past as the GTX 1070 will be able to offer much better performance at better price points ($379 US and Plus).

>>The original source, Cubic, has taken down the article, but the benches are at the WCCFTech article.

Polaris inbound: AMD teases unannounced Radeon RX 480 graphics card

http://www.pcworld.com/article/3076103/components-graphics/polaris-inbound-amd-employee-teases-radeon-480-graphics-card-on-twitter.html

This weekend, AMD held a “Polaris Tech Day” for press and analysts in Macau, judging by the Twitter feeds of top AMD executives. The timing makes sense with the annual Computex tradeshow scheduled to begin early next week, complete with an AMD livestream event that promises updates on Polaris, the cutting-edge 14nm FinFET graphics processors slated to power forthcoming Radeon graphics cards. In a tweet late Saturday evening, a Radeon employee may have given us an inadvertent glimpse of what’s in store.

The post ostensibly shows off the Lenovo Y27F, a 27-inch 1080p FreeSync display capable of pumping out 144Hz. But the system sheet next to the monitor reveals a more interesting tidbit: The Doom demo running on the display is powered by no other than the Radeon RX 480, a GPU that hasn’t officially been announced yet. (Edit: Yes, the sheet says 1440p. The game was running at a higher resolution than the monitor using AMD's Virtual Super Resolution.)

Seeing Doom running on a Radeon RX 480 and a 144Hz monitor suggests two things: First, that as been long hinted at by executives, AMD may indeed plan to attack the long-awaited new graphics generation from a more mainstream price point and letting Nvidia’s fearsome $600 GTX 1080 own the relatively niche high end. The Radeon x80 line has typically hovered around the $200 to $250 price point. And second, that it might be fast. The current-gen R9 380 barely hits 60fps in Doom at 1080p, according to TechSpot’s extensive benchmarks. Team Red’s showing it off at Polaris Tech Day on a monitor capable of cranking out more than twice that many frames—though there's nothing explicitly saying the GPU itself hits those lofty heights. It's likely just to show the card running somewhere above 60Hz in action.

>>Good news, but keep in mind that the RX 480 nomenclature is a bit vague. The card could be the R9 480, and be priced as the article suggests, or the 480X (which would make more sense as it would be the strongest card) and be priced a bit more.

For those of you that may be interested in winning a GTX 1080, Hexus is running a competition...

The GTX 1070 reviews are up and confirm that it is indeed a Titan X killer

A couple of days ago, we had the pleasure of interviewing Unity Technologies’ Field Engineer, Mathieu Muller.

BATTLEBORN IS ALREADY 40% OFF ON STEAM

http://www.pcgamer.com/battleborn-is-already-40-off-on-steam/

I challenged myself to get through this whole post without mentioning Overwatch once, and apart from when I mentioned it just then, I reckon I'll fulfil that challenge admirably. Battleborn is that other colourful shooter about a bunch of madcap, zany heroes, and it's a fairly good one, according to Jem Alexander.

FABULAR: A MEDIEVAL SPACESHIP ROGUELIKE RPG

http://www.pcgamer.com/fabular-a-medieval-spaceship-roguelike-rpg/

Fabular: Once upon a Spacetime takes the old tales of chivalrous knights and derring-do and transplants them from medieval Europe to outer space. Described as a "top-down medieval space adventure", it mixes physics-based combat with choose-your-own-adventure-y bits; pixel art with pretty lighting techniques; pixel art (again) with lovely illustrated character art. Shove some RPG and roguelike elements in there too and you have, well, Fabular I guess. Let's have a look at the Kickstarter trailer.

SCI-FI COLONY SIM RIMWORLD HITS EARLY ACCESS THIS SUMMER

http://www.pcgamer.com/sci-fi-colony-sim-rimworld-hits-early-access-this-summer/

RimWorld is an ambitious sci-fi colony sim inspired by Dwarf Fortress, Dune and Firefly, and if you like all those things you're probably at least aware of it, as it's been around—in alpha form—since 2013. Now, like most things, it's heading to Steam; at the same time, RimWorld will be expanded with a new scenario system that allows you to select from a bunch of different starting conditions, or to create your own.

IBUKI HEADING TO STREET FIGHTER V - HERE'S A TRAILER

And the next character to be added to Street Fighter V is...Ibuki. The ninja was first introduced in SFIII:Third Strike, and returned for Street Fighter IV. Now, perhaps inevitably, she's being added to SFV—there's no release date given, but it will probably be fairly soon, if previous characters are any indication.

KINGDOM OF LOATHING DEV REVEALS WEST OF LOATHING

http://www.pcgamer.com/kingdom-of-loathing-dev-reveals-west-of-loathing/

Stickman MMO Kingdom of Loathing has been going since 2003, and I'm just going to stop and think about how wonderful that is for a moment.

Lovely. But I'm actually here to inform you that its developer Asymmetric Publications has announced a new game: West of Loathing. As you might have guessed from the title, it's set in the West Country, and sees you drinking cider instead of health potions, and...no, wait, it's set in the Wild West. The American one with all the cowboys and the farting and the beans.

EX-LIONHEAD DEVS ANNOUNCE FABLE FORTUNE, A FREE-TO-PLAY FABLE CARD GAME

http://www.pcgamer.com/ex-lionhead-devs-announce-fable-fortune-a-free-to-play-fable-card-game/

Lionhead is gone, but the Fable name may live on—although not in the way you might expect. It turns out that Lionhead had spent well over a year prior to its closure working on a free-to-play Fable collectible card game called Fable Fortune, and IGN reports that a handful of former Lionhead devs have set up an indie studio to finish and release it.
