Gaming pc electricity usage
Hi, I'm wondering how much in monetary terms it costs to run my son's gaming pc for 8 hours a day? It's a Dell Aurora R5 with 1 monitor and no added speakers. We are currently on holiday and have it with us (don't ask!). Would like to work out how much money to leave the owner after our 3 week stay. Thanks in advance.

Xbox/Microsoft game sale & Microsoft rewards
As title suggests, they have a sale on at present and quite a few titles look like good prices (as cheap/cheaper than you'll get them elsewhere). Which is unusual as their pricing is usually a bloody rip off compared to other retailers. Sale ends 10th July I believe. Also, they have started microsoft rewards in the UK now…

PC games - Steam or Windows Store
I am thinking of buying a digital version of the game Call of Duty to play on a PC. The only place to purchase it is from the Windows Store using the Windows Store app on my Windows 10 PC, or on Steam. Which is the best store to buy the game? How is the player base on COD games on Microsoft/Xbox servers and Steam servers?…

Playing a PlayStation 2 through a 4k TV.
The picture is very blurry, which is kinda what I'd expect given the console isn't HD and is 15+ years old. Is there any way to make the picture look more sharp, either with cables I can purchase for the PS2 or settings on my HD TV?

Interactive Drama Games
So does anyone like the genre of "Interactive Drama"? Weird name I know, some examples are Heavy Rain, The Walking Dead, Life Is Strange, The Wolf Among Us, Beyond: Two Souls, etc. I like how your progress is determined by decisions and feelings rather than skill with a weapon.

Playstation plus reduced - ends soon
If you subscribe to PS plus, you can currently get 12 months membership for under £30 (usually nearly £40), or less if you have any money off vouchers etc. Spotted it in Sainsbury the other day, but looks like it is nationwide. Sony are having a big sale but looks like it ends on the 18th June or a bit later for downloads,…

PS4 Games up to the mark yet?
When the PS4 was launched, the consensus was that there wasn't a game around which was really worthy of it. Does anyone think that this situation has changed a year or two down the line?

Reliable PS3 controller
One of the triggers is iffy on my old PS3 controller and now the left stick on the current one has an issue where you will continually move forward without touching it and the stick is not even leaning forward. I am constantly having to work that bit harder to control my character which spoils the game. So I need a new one…

Uncharted 4
Anyone played this one yet? I took some screenshots to show how brilliant it looks! (minor spoilers because they show where you go in the game but don't give away plot) I think my fave the 5th one, the hallway. Just look at that reflection! http://imgur.com/a/qGXc6 It's a shame I didn't realise I could take screenshots…

Which older games do you wish they'd remaster and bring to new consoles?
For me there's The Simpsons Hit & Run and Need For Speed Underground 2! They pretty much sum my childhood up. Need For Speed gets a little bit repetitive but it is forever the best one they ever made in my opinion. The choice of cars, the open world, the lights and music, it just draws you in so much! And The Simpsons Hit…

My son has accidentally changed the screen from tv to gamepad. How does it get it back to the tv? The only info I can find to do this is on the menu screen but he can't go back to that as he is in the middle of a game with no save option (he has to complete the level) Thanks
