Helldivers 2 takes two steps forward and one leap back. Less than a week after surprise dropping the Omens of Tyranny update at The Game Awards, Arrowhead has dropped another surprise, though this one isn’t as fun or exciting: Helldivers 2 just got a Killzone armor set, cosmetics, and a Helghast gun, which is kinda…

If you’re a regular reader of our hardware news and reviews, you’ll know that Intel’s much-vaunted Core Ultra 200S series of processors not only failed to impress at launch but it’s seemingly been left to flag against the competition. In a new blog post today, which we’ve had early access to, Intel says that while…

One of film’s masters of horror has set his sights on adapting one of 2024’s spookiest survival games into a television series. James Wan, director of modern horror classics such as the original Saw film, Insidious, and The Conjuring wants to turn driving-survival game Pacific Drive into a TV show. That’s one hell of a…

But whatever you think of the up-and-down studio, there’s no question that they have a bunch of great games in their back-catalogue. Now, for the negligible…

The answer, somehow, is always “very bad”. And yet I continue…

Yeah, I get it, we already know that Nvidia’s sold a motherlode of chips and is laughing its way to the bank. But it hits a little differently to see the actual numbers.
