4K gaming
Gamers love fancy graphics. Who can blame us? When it rumbles and crashes and colourful explosions fill the screen, our eyes light up. And the higher the resolution, the bigger the grin. 4K or UHD, i.e. 3840x2160 pixels, is the current gold standard. Theoretically, there's still room for improvement, but we don't want to burn our wings like Icarus.
Civilisation VI
The king of turn-based strategy games is back from the future. After the lukewarm "Beyond Earth", developer Firaxis is returning to its strengths and trying to build on its old success.
20 years of Tomb Raider
Since her first appearance on the Sega Saturn, treasure hunter Lara Croft has experienced one adventure after another. We would like to congratulate her and present the highlights of Ms Croft's career to mark the 20th anniversary.
Battlefield 1
If you really want to savour "Battlefield 1" and be at the forefront online, you need the right equipment. We have twelve product recommendations for both demanding and moderate minds that will make the game even more fun.
Playstation VR
Playstation VR has been officially available since Thursday. Sony's answer to the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift focuses on greater comfort, a more attractive price and a broad base of console gamers with existing equipment. Before you take the plunge into virtual reality, here are the most important facts in a nutshell.
A little over 13 months ago, at Gamescom 2015, Thierry Pool, Head of Digital Marketing, was able to put on Sony's VR glasses, then called "Project Morpheus", for the first time. Now, on 13 October, the Playstation 4-compatible virtual reality goggles will be released - under the name "Playstation VR".
PS4 Pro
Three years after the launch, there are now three different Playstation 4s. The PS4 Pro is the latest addition to the family and promises 4K gaming for the console too. Doesn't it require a super-expensive PC? We try to answer these and all other important questions with FAQs.
Home-built PC
Admittedly, my previous box is still running smoothly. But with all the new features such as DDR4 RAM, Skylake processors and the 10-series graphics cards, as a passionate PC hobbyist I almost felt compelled to switch and upgrade. Updating individual components of the old gamer PC was never an option for me, it was just too daft. If nothing else, I needed a completely new rig and - as is unfortunately often the case with me - preferably yesterday.
In-game bonus for Paragon
Paragon is the new MOBA from Epic Games for PC and Playstation 4 that takes you into battle with explosive action - including third-person controls and highly strategic decisions. Choose unique heroes from an ever-expanding roster, earn cards, customise your heroes' abilities and team up with friends to claim victory.
Nvidia GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti
Superb gaming for everyone - that's why Nvidia has developed the fast, powerful GeForce GTX 1050. It turns your PC into a true gaming machine with the power of Nvidia Pascal, the most advanced graphics processor architecture ever. Thanks to the many innovative Nvidia Game Ready technologies, every gamer can experience the latest games in the best possible way.

On rainy days, I tinker with my homebuilt PCs, robots or other gadgets. Music is always my trusted companion. I also enjoy tackling hilly terrain on my road bike and criss-crossing the country on my cross-country skis.
