Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops trailer

By Ryan Fleming January 28, 2011

The list of developers for games that are PC only is sadly dwindling. There was a day when the PG gamer was king, but the market is growing smaller all the time, much to the regret of a large, and vocal section of gamers. But keep your head up, PC gamer, there are still some top shelf options coming soon for you. Developer Viva Media, the developer responsible for the hit game Stalker, returns with the third-person shooter Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops.

You play as both a CQC expert with demolitions experience, as well as a stealth operator, allowing you to choose the type of style you want to play. As you journey through some of the world’s most exotic and dangerous locations, massive open levels will let you choose the path, and the way you want to approach it. If you want to sneak by and play the game as stealth, you can do so. If you wish to unleash great anger and furious vengeance upon the enemy hordes, go for it.

The best weapon mods in Outriders

Outriders game

Despite how it may look on the surface, Outriders has a lot of deep RPG elements under the hood. Between your class, abilities, weapons, and armor, there's a lot to manage in this third person looter shooter. If you take advantage of these systems, you can create a character that is built to fit exactly the style and role you enjoy most. Weapons all come in various rarities, do different levels of damage, and have their own effective ranges and rates of fire, but to really get the most bang for your buck out of your arsenal, you'll want to beef them up with mods.

You can equip your guns with mods for added effects and buffs. Just like other gear and loot drops, they come in a range of tiers, with one being the most common and three the rarest and generally most powerful. Some are good for all classes, while others are basically designed to synergize with one specific class's role or skill set. With so many mods to find, you'll want to know which are the best ones to keep a lookout for.

8 essential tips for starting out in Outriders

Outriders game

Sitting somewhere between a looter shooter like Destiny 2 and a third-person shooter like Gears of War, Outriders asks the player to juggle a lot of concepts very quickly. Not only do you have to learn how the basic mechanics work, but then there are the deeper systems like skills, abilities, classes, loot, and more to get a grip on. The beta was a fantastic way to introduce the basics of how the game would function, but if you held off on playing until the full release, jumping in could be a little intimidating.

What sets Outriders apart from other games of its kind is that it isn't designed to be played forever. Outriders features a fully complete story that you can tackle alone, or with friends, that can be replayed if you find yourself hooked. If you are playing with friends, then knowing how to be most effective on the battlefield will lead to some awesome moments of teamwork and synergies that are some of the most satisfying you can get. To make sure you're ready to throw down with your pals online, take a moment to read up on these essential tips for starting out in Outriders.

New Atari 50 DLC shows the Intellivision acquisition is already paying off

An Atari 2600+ sits on a table.

Digital Eclipse's Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is an excellent and comprehensive look back at the company's now classic video game lineup, with games to play and extra content to interact with. So far, it's gotten one DLC: The Wider World of Atari, that added even more titles. Now, it's about to get its second, thanks to an acquisition it made earlier this year.

Atari announced The First Console War on Friday, and it's about, as you can guess, the company's first console war with the Intellivision, although it'll touch on a specific element of it. In the 1980s, Mattel was publishing games on the Intellivision. At some point, it decided to release versions of these console exclusives for its main competitor, the Atari 2600, under the M Network label. There are 19 of these games coming to Atari 50 with The First Console War, which is set to launch on November 8 for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 Atari 50 owners.
