Best graphics card deals of the week – 24th April 2020
As stock levels continue to plummet due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the number of best graphics card deals is a bit on the thin side this week, especially if you’re looking to bag yourself a great Nvidia graphics card deal. The good news, though, is that there are still loads of great deals on […]
XCOM: Chimera Squad is out now, and it’s half-price
It’s time to put down your world-saving guns and pick up your alien-policing batons, because XCOM: Chimera Squad is out. XCOPS takes a big sidewards leap away from the main series, boiling down turn-based combat into single-room encounters. Developers Firaxis have messed with the turn-order, too, with your troops’ individual moves now interleaved with your […]
Fortnite’s latest in-game concert is a great experience (even if you don’t like Travis Scott)
Over 12.3 million people dropped into Fortnite last night for the world premiere of Travis Scott’s new song, The Scotts, and it was really quite cool. The in-game event sees a giant holographic Travis descend from the skies to serenade players with an extravegant performance including fire raining from the skies, the world flooding, rollercoaster […]
Overwatch’s revamped chat wheel will finally let you say sorry
You know what you did. Your team knows what you did. That Reinhardt play was awful, but how are you supposed to express remorse? Open the chat box? Plug in a headset? Nonsense. Until now, Overwatch had absolutely no way of letting your team know you messed up. Today’s PTR update changes everything, letting you […]
Paradise Killer is an open-world whodunnit with celestial stakes
A new trailer for Paradise Killer dropped today, which means it’s finally a chance to check in on Kaizen Game Works’ open-world crime-solver. Pretty standard, murder mystery visual novel stuff then, right? Chat to the suspects, explore the scene for clues, crack the case before celestial entities hard-reset the universe into its 25th iteration, a […]

Please don’t touch the exhibits. Stab ’em, shoot ’em, or trap ’em with poisoned arrows? Sure, but please do not touch them. They’re riled up enough as is. This week’s free Bestiary Update brings nasty new foes to roguelite slash ’em up Dead Cells, alongside new tools to face them with and an overhaul to […]
The Division 2’s new trial offers eight free hours and Rainbow Six: Siege goodies
In the fiction of The Division 2, there must’ve been some folks who gave pause to the whole concept, right? Who, when their orange watch started beeping, reckoned they needed some time to decide whether they really wanted to become state-authorised secret soldiers? I can’t say, but Ubisoft will, at least, now let you take […]
Cloudpunk’s stratospheric deliveries and noir conspiracies are out today
Bad hours, shady bosses. The gig economy’s tough enough as-is, without the risk of dropping a package off the side of a ten-mile-high balcony. Released today, Cloudpunk lets you traipse around a stunning voxel cityscape, making deliveries and solving mysteries like some sorta flying Deliveroo driver-turned-detective. Let’s just hope you’re getting a bonus for all […]
Sea Of Thieves players are immortalising their real-life pets with its new cats
I know I won’t shut up about it, but Sea Of Thieves got cats for pets yesterday. And as if they weren’t brilliant enough, pirates are now welcoming these furry friends aboard their ships to remind them of their real-life kitties. For some players, the four-legged crewmates are a sort of memorial, too, naming their […]
