WWE 2K18 will slam into PC alongside console launchSep 25, 2017 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunA visual guide to PC gaming's best customization slidersFeb 10, 2017 - PC GamerPC gaming has a long and storied history of menu and customization sliders. So long and storied, in fact, that I can't be bothered to research it. Instead, I'm just going to post gifs of some of my favorite game sliders, be they sliders that adjust a character's facial features, body parts, or accessories, or ones that let you tweak some element of a game from zero to 100, and beyond! Okay, not beyond. Typically, they just go to 100. Here are PC gaming's best sliders. If I missed one of your favorites, just slide into the comments and let me know. Foot Size: Reign of Kings Open world survival game Reign of Kings has a lot going for it—including the ability to kill yourself by bashing your face with a rock you can store in your own butt—and that includes a surprisingly robust character creation utility, which allows you to adjust nearly every aspect of your avatar. Of all the sliders you can use to lovingly or comically sculpt your character, my favorite is the foot size slider. It's notable, I feel, that when maxed out it actually and appreciably changes the height of your character by about six in-game inches. More games should allow this: just imagine Geralt sitting in that tub dangling a pair of size 75 feet over the side. Sex Appeal: Saints Row The Third Saint's Row The Third's character creation menu is refreshingly unrestricted, allowing you to create any sort of character you like. This isn't one of the standard "You're a dude, so you have a dude voice and can't wear makeup" type of utilities: you can pretty much do whatever the hell you like. It's wonderful and inclusive and literally every game should follow its example. The best of all its many sliders, however, is the Sex Appeal slider, which lets you embiggen your boobs or your junk, as seen above. Feast your bulging eyes on some bulges. Flex Scale: Garry's Mod Memes, comics, machinima—there are all sorts of wonders (and horrors) Garry's Mod can be used for. The Face Poser tool is just one of many useful gadgets, but it comes with an amazing slider called Flex Scale. Amazing, that is, when applied to a model it wasn't meant for. As any comic creator can tell you, the TF2 models, while compatible with Garry's Mod, don't quite work the same way as the HL2 models when using the Face Poser. Still, the results are bizarre and disturbing and certainly entertaining. And if you're looking to create actual, usable facial expressions on TF2 characters, there's one or two mods for Garry's Mod that make it much easier. Brightness: Every Horror Game Ever As a huge scaredy-pants who doesn't like being scared in his pants, I'm always appreciative of the brightness slider that comes with Every Horror Game Ever. While its intentions are to make sure you can't see the dark and spooky places very well, and thus heighten the scares, I use it for the opposite reason....Now Available - WWE 2K17Feb 7, 2017 - Product ReleaseWWE 2K17 is now available on Steam!

WWE 2K17 release date set for PCJan 13, 2017 - PC GamerSince making their debut via the series' 2K15 instalment, 2K's World Wrestling Entertainment games have taken anything between three and six months to arrive on PC. The latest, WWE 2K17, errs towards the former having reached consoles in October and is now due on desktops come February 7. It's the same deal as before in that the PC version will "mirror the in-game content" that features on PS4 and Xbox One, including all currently available DLC. So far, that includes the Goldberg Pack, the NXT Enhancement Pack, the Legends Pack, and the New Moves Pack. A Future Stars DLC pack is due on January 17. Anything released after the game's PC launch date is surplus, and thus paid-for. Outwith its add-ons, WWE 2K17 packs 136 playable current, legends and NXT wrestlers, and offers players a comprehensive customisation suite and number of games modes, including MyCareer powered by this year's new Promo Engine. Here's the blurb on that: "The all-new Promo Engine brings the drama and personality of the WWE Superstars to life in MyCAREER and WWE Universe modes. Choose your words wisely and smack talk your opponents, start rivalries or form alliances. Your words will shape your characters as they rise through the ranks of NXT and WWE to become WWE Hall of Famers! Become a Paul Heyman Guy in a new subplot exclusive to WWE 2K17." As featured on the WWE YouTube channel, here's ten of the game's best finishing moves—a list which includes HBK's wonderful Sweet Chin Music. The old ones are the best. WWE 2K17 is out on PC for £39.99/$49.99 on February 7.
