Want to know what the best PC controller is? We’ve tested all the best current game pads to help you make the decision as to which top plug into your gaming PC.
You could argue you've already got the best PC controller plumbed into your machine when you've got a trusty keyboard and mouse. But, sometimes (and only sometimes) having a specific gaming controller to hand can be quite useful. Whether it’s a great wired or wireless pad, an official or third-party device, having a well-built, comfortable controller can really make the difference to your game. So it’s important you make the right choice.
Pads are great, but it’s also important to make sure you’ve got the .
We’ve checked out the official Microsoft Xbox One and Elite pads, as well as the excellent Sony DualShock controller.

A flight or space-based sim really demands a quality flightstick, especially one with a separate throttle for those BSG Viper-esque, non-Newtonian dogfights. And if you’re a dedicated racer then a steering wheel, with good force-feedback, can shave valuable seconds off your in-game lap times.

We do, on the other hand, know plenty of Dying Light 2 gameplay, setting, and story details. For example, Techland is massively expanding Dying Light 2’s parkour movement, and with industry veteran Chris Avellone in charge of the story it’s safe to say that this isn’t going to be your typical undead shooter.
After more shambling horrors? Here are the .
Dying Light 2 is set in a decaying city that is struggling to keep itself together amid competing factions, so you will have a lot more to deal with than undead monstrosities. Decisions you make and the groups you team up with will shape the world around you, allowing you to reap the ensuing rewards if you can stomach the consequences. Here are all the latest details about Dying Light 2. Dying Light 2 release date
There is no Dying Light 2 release date yet. But we’ll let you know when you can get back to sprinting away from the undead as soon as we hear more. Techland showed an impressively polished demo at E3 2018, so it would appear that Dying Light 2 is well past pre-production phase.

I catch up with Rafe Blandford and we cover some of the good new UWP apps reviewed on the site, plus we chat more about the 'thousand cuts' editorial and - yes - there's a little more Surface Mobile gazing, spurred on by Paul Thurrott's glimpse at Microsoft 'internal documents'.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is finally backwards compatible on Xbox One.
Infinity Ward's 2011 first-person shooter was one of the most-requested games to be added to the Xbox One backwards compatible list - a fact the people behind the Xbox UK Twitter account had some fun with last night.

It's the penultimate day of E3, which means that the assembled exhibitors have got through everything they wanted to talk about and are now being unwillingly coerced into things they don't want to talk about. Chief among these is, as expected, Fortnite. The shadow of Epic's late-blooming hit looms large over the show: a vast, flossing colossus bestriding the Ozymandian remains of PlayerUnknown.
The chief surprise is that we are talking less about half-baked attempts at taking its crown and more about Sony's devastingly effective attempts to stop PS4 players using their accounts on Switch, which is being received . Microsoft is of course being .

Every week seems to bring a new confirmation that a Surface Mobile (or 'Surface Phone', though I really can't see it being called that), a.k.a. Project Andromeda, is coming this Autumn (2018). This week we've had several, which I wanted to mention, including one from Microsoft's hardware chief himself, Panos Panay.
