Ubisoft’s long-awaited pirate adventure Skull and Bones is out today, and if you’re curious but put off by the unexpectedly steep price tag, I have good news: An eight-hour trial version is available, so you can see what it’s all about without paying a penny. I initially expected Skull and Bones to come in with…
Look who’s back, back again. AMDs Radeon Anti-Lag+ was released in September last year as the company’s latest attempt to reduce dreaded latency times in competitive gaming, but was quickly removed after it was found to draw the ire of some common anti-cheat programs.

Originally reported by Bloomberg Law, the lawsuit was filed by Hector “H3CZ” Rodriguez, leader of Call of Duty esports team Optic, and…
You know what I miss? I miss being ‘wowed’ by a piece of art on the internet. In the good ol’ days (less than five years ago, but tech comes at you fast) you’d be scrolling through your feed and stumble into something beautiful, and you’d just be able to look at it. Soak it…
Helldivers 2 dropped its first live-service twist last night, as its robotic automaton faction abruptly invaded several human planets, forcing players to heel-turn away from the Terminid frontline to undertake defensive missions halfway across the galaxy.
