• $2 billion later, I'm not convinced GTA 6 will do more for me than a PS2 and San Andreas

  11-09-2026 16:48 via gamesradar.com
  
  It'd be silly of me to deny the hype for GTA 6, as like it or not, it'll likely be the game of the decade. The thing I'm struggling to process is the fact that, in the grand scheme of things, the sandbox formula hasn't really changed that much. In fact, Rockstar is gearing up to bring back some of its more realistic features, which has me wondering why I wouldn't just stick with my PS2 and the biggest GTA game from the 2000s.I'm naturally talking about Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, an open-worl

• I got this mini PC running Cyberpunk at 85fps (technically), but it wants to do a whole lot more than that

  Mini PCs are slowly taking up residence on the desks of more and more gamers, as the best gaming PC prices continue to soar. Geekom is one of the first brands you'll find in a casual Amazon hunt, and the brand's A9 Max model is its go-to for gamers.
