Dungeons and Dragons fans could argue forever about which spell is the worst in the game, but it’s generally agreed that True Strike is a contender. The cantrip grants the caster an advantage on their next attack roll, meaning you sacrifice your current turn for a better chance of hitting your target in the following…
Helldivers 2 is good—like, really good. But that comes with a cost. With hundreds of thousands of players piling into the unexpected co-op shooter darling, servers have been buckling under the sheer weight of a mass deployment. While I’ve been able to play myself, I haven’t been able to matchmake publically for around four days—I’ve…
Nothing beats the feel of a freshly installed operating system. It’s all so fast and snappy, with nothing clogging up the registry or start menu. The only problem is that it’s a bit of a drag to do, not least being the time spent waiting for Windows just to install itself. Wouldn’t it be great…
Honestly, the OneXPlayer 2 Pro is a lot. It arguably goes further to create a complete PC than a lot of other dedicated handheld gaming PCs, but probably too far in some respects, and not far enough in others. It’s marketed as a three-in-one device, though you will often just see it in its natural…

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…
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…
