Helldivers 2’s big beefy build is going away for good, because Arrowhead is ‘confident that players are having a great experience’ with the new skinny version

Kate Moss once said “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” which tells me that Kate Moss must have an extremely bland, uninteresting diet—and I say that as a small-town white guy in Canada, which should really tell you something. Still, it’s sometimes not a bad idea to slim things down a little—such as in…

Gravastar Mercury V60 Pro review

There are a lot of compact gaming keyboards out there but none, so far, has been quite so organic. It’s aluminium, you know it is from the way it feels, but that doesn’t stop it having the look of Cronenbergian moulded flesh about it, one step away from being plugged into an unmentionable part of…

‘Begun, the Mushroom Wars have’: Bodies are piling up next to shelf fungi in Arc Raiders as players fight for the slim supply of mushrooms

The window has closed for the latest Expedition, and with that, a wave of players start afresh. You know what that means: Scrappy demands another round of tributes. I’m talking prickly pears, lemons and apricots, and worst of all, mushrooms. While these items were never abundant in Arc Raiders lobbies, they weren’t nearly as hard…

Then, came the unease after learning the wild price difference between the Obsbot Tiny 3 ($349) and its more budget-friendly sibling, the Tiny…

Obsbot Tiny 3 Lite review

The Tiny 3 straddles the boundary between the worlds of corporate video conferencing and streaming/content creation. Yet I’m not convinced it fully serves either.How useful are swish AI webcam tricks beyond just distracting your manager at your next meeting? Meanwhile, if you’re dropping $300+ for a webcam with the intent of using it for content…

After whiffing its release date by 5 years, Crimson Desert is putting out oodles of preview stuff as ‘We never want to be accused of hiding anything, because we have a lot of ground to make up’

According to our Harvey’s Crimson Desert preview, Pearl Abyss’ upcoming action-sorta-RPG is quite good indeed. It’s also late. It should have been here, let me check, five years ago? Yep. Crimson Desert was first revealed at 2020’s Game Awards with a proposed release year of 2021. After, ah, whiffing that slightly, it’s now due out…
