If you've dropped into Super Earth's harder difficulty defence maps in Helldivers 2, you'll likely have encountered the leviathan, a gigantic flying Illuminate battleship that smashes through skyscrapers and barrages you with cannons whenever you get close. It's a real nuisance when you're trying to complete objectives, but the good news is that you can kill a leviathan despite its seeming invulnerability.There are a few different methods, but provided you've...

Almost every graphics card vendor makes an all bells and whistles version of a particular GPU. It might be one that's heavily overclocked or one that follows a particular theme, but nearly all of them have a decent enough cooler to keep things well under control. Asus, on the other hand, might reckon it has them all beat because it's teamed up with Noctua once more to create what possibly...

In August 2020, Apple kicked Fortnite off of the iOS App Store for violating its terms after Epic Games bypassed Apple's 30% transaction fee by adding its own payment processor to the battle royale game. Almost five years later, Fortnite is finally available on the US App Store again.The return isn't entirely triumphant for Epic, but at this point Epic CEO Tim Sweeney is ready for a truce.After the 2020...

Keep checking back for more features and retrospectives, as well as in-depth interviews with the developers who brought the game to life. Let's get this out of the way right up top.

We've gotten our first look at Nicolas Cage as John Madden in the upcoming movie Madden, and I'm stoked. Not for the story or subject: I don't care much about football, I honestly haven't played much of the Madden games, and I mostly only know John Madden himself from the TV commercials he did for athlete's foot sprays and hardware stores.But Nicolas Cage playing him? Oh, I'm in. Day one,...

Microsoft is facing more pushback over its dealings with the Israeli military, as The Verge reports that the company's Build developer conference has been interrupted twice by protesters.The first incident occurred shortly after the start of CEO Satya Nadella's keynote on May 19, when firmware engineer and No Azure for Apartheid organizer Joe Lopez interrupted Nadella's speech to demand he "show them how Microsoft is killing Palestinians," according to a...

There’s a boss fight near the midpoint of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny that I genuinely did not think I’d be able to get through. Not due to any intended challenge or a jarring difficulty spike, but due to its 2002-ass design: fixed camera angles suddenly switching and changing my directional input mid fight; a huge impassible environmental obstacle just short enough for enemy projectiles to pass over; getting stunlocked by...

Blades of Fire doesn't do itself any favours pairing Aran, its rugged action hero with godlike powers, a tragic past, and a broken heart, up with a much younger sidekick he insists on calling "boy" and "kid" far too often—but cracking through the Kratos of it all reveals a game that's trying to leave a more exploration-heavy mark on the cinematic action genre. These are places to be savoured, not...

If there's one thing I've learnt from my time with sims like Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, and that one game that gave me the historic opportunity to be the first person to write "Rudolf Hilferding" on this website, it's that I wouldn't cut it in a time of crisis. Material conditions would slam-dunk me into the dustbin of history like Kobe Bryant. I just don't have the mettle that let...

I have many interests, and about half of them involve my PC in some shape or form. But I moved country a few years ago, and this meant having to rebuild a decent chunk of my collection of tech. Corsair has shown off a version of one of its cases, with a DAC, which I might just have to pick up if it gets to market. An external DAC attached...
