Trying to determine the best Helldivers 2 armour set that you can equip first requires you to understand the differences between each different type. Armour stats aren’t actually that important when gearing up your diver. What matters more is your armour passive; a unique buff that can offer extra protection against certain kinds of damage,…
Two million points over the previous record. The world of ‘classic’ Tetris (the NES version, basically) has been chewing up column inches of late thanks to the news that the game has finally been “beaten” after 34 years. That feat was achieved by Willis “Blue Scuti” Gibson, who managed to reach the game’s kill screen…
Left 4 Dead was revolutionary for its time. Dynamic enemy generation that made every run feel just that bit different, hordes of zombies that flowed from one place to another like a murderous river—it ruled. But I always had a problem with its formula: dying always sucked. It’s a genre staple in these games that…
Mario vs. DK vs. you. Last week, Mario and Donkey Kong’s decade-old dispute bubbled back to the surface in the appropriately titled Mario vs. Donkey Kong, a Switch remake of the identically titled GBA original from 2004. NL’s stalwart PJ O’Reilly enjoyed his time with it, awarding it a ‘Good’ 7/10 in his review and…

Thanks to a heads up earlier today from Saberman, we’ve been told that Tatqoo&Dely has released the final version of their new game for the Atari XL/XE called ‘Dungeon Adventurer’. A game in which you must traverse a dark tomb that will only illuminate with the use of the luminous stones! To coincide with this…
After more than a decade, Skull and Bones, Ubisoft’s multiplayer pirate romp, is finally out. Was it worth the wait? No, not really. Shaun gave it a 68 in our Skull and Bones review, but I’ve barely been able to stomach a few hours with its uninspired crafting grind and weirdly arcade-like ship battles. It’s…
Poor Intel. Last year was pretty rough for the 55-year-old semiconductor firm, as it accrued just $54.2 billion in revenue, 14% less than the year before. After paying all its bills for manufacturing, research and development, and biscuits, there was just $1.7 billion left over in net income. Poor Intel. So when the US administration…
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is scheduled to swoop down onto Steam in just over a month, wreaking fiery havoc upon fantasy fans’ free time. But you may be able to get a taste of Capcom’s RPG sequel sooner than that, as recent changes to the game on Steam, as registered by SteamDB, hint that a demo…
I was planning an indulgent weekend shackled to my PC eradicating alien bugs and robots in Helldivers 2. Instead I was forced to do boring things like going outside and spending time with my annoying dog. A travesty. Helldivers 2 continues to suffer for its success, which wasn’t entirely unexpected. Ever since its launch, developer…
