It’s an Energy-based SMG with high DPS potential, but it guzzles Energy Ammo with its low magazine capacity and quick reload times....

As Dusk Falls primarily focuses on two families: the Holt kids, who live in Two Rock, Arizona, and the Walkers, who are just travelling through. I won’t go into many specifics on what happens, because you really should experience it without spoilers if possible. However, the short summary is that the families collide for a particularly bad few days that’ll have a life-changing (and in some cases, potentially life-ending) impact on those involved....

I spent three hours wandering around the region of East Anglia. Zoomed out, the other regions I could see on the map were Northumbia, East Mercia, West Mercia and Wessex, so, a compressed version of basically the entire South-East of England. I can’t tell you how this relates to the confusing discussion of Valhalla’s total map size, though. I can say that, even though I just had Norwich and the surrounding area to explore, three hours wasn’t enough for me to see everything - I think I managed, perhaps, about half....

As reported by Eurogamer, Assassin’s Creed leaker “j0nathan” found mentions of a potential Muspelheim DLC in the game’s files. This info should be taken with a pinch of salt, however, as j0nathan adds that it could just be remnants of something that might never make it to the game. Having said that, Valhalla already lets players explore a couple other mythical realms, Jotunheim and Asgard. Early concept art for the game showed the fiery worlds of Muspelheim too....

The setup of ATOM, and in fact an awful lot of what it does, will be familiar to anyone who’s played the original Fallout games. America and the USSR nuked each other, and the remnant of a semi-legitimate military/scientific organisation sends you out into the wasteland many years later to explore. You’ll wander a dusty geigerworld fighting mutants and grumpy men in makeshift armour, visiting settlements and talking to many people, discovering a sinister plot along the way....

Above: the AT2020USB+’s press shot is improved by the addition of the stock photo of a cat. Get the AudioTechnica AT2020USB+ microphone for $99 (was $269) The Audio-Technica AT2020 is a well-reviewed condenser microphone thanks to its high-quality cardioid capsule, and this is the USB+ variety that means you don’t need to invest in an XLR setup with an XLR cable, audio interface and so on. This is a better choice if you don’t envisage yourself heavily investing in audio equipment, as you get everything you need in the box itself: mic, tiny desk stand, USB cable....

That there new trailer is also from the Summer Game Fest. The proper open beta will run August 12-16, the beta site explains, preceeded by an unopen “early access open beta” running August 5-9. You can sign up on the site for a chance to get into that closed section. You also get early beta access if you pre-order, but don’t pre-order. Never pre-order. You know better. Back 4 Blood is due to launch October 12th on PC, PlayStations, and Xboxes....

You’ll be able to see for yourself very soon, too, as early access for pre-orderers to Back 4 Blood’s open beta starts today, with general access arriving on August 12th. We had a full team of four in our hands-on preview session - myself, Colm, Ed and Katharine - and although there were some technical problems that delayed us being able to try its PvP mode (Katharine eventually got to play some later on and has report on it here), we managed to navigate the base camp staging area, Fort Hope, and start some good ol’ fashioned PvE without any hitches....

Hasbro (Wizards Of The Coast’s parent company) revealed the info at an investor event at the New York Toy Fair (via Dark Side Of Gaming). Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of seven Dungeons & Dragons games they have in development right now, with Dark Alliance scheduled for a 2020 release, too. They’ve got plans to release one D&D game every year until 2025, so I hope you like RPGs dear reader....

“The story is unfortunately a familiar one for small studios,” Vodeo Games said. “Despite a year of avid efforts, we’ve been unable to secure funding for our next project from publishers and investors. As such, we’ve run out of funds and aren’t able to keep the team together - and there is simply no Vodeo without our incredible team. “Our final efforts are going toward a Steam release for Beast Breaker....

While you cannot change much about your automat’s appearance besides her face, wig, and chassis colour, there is one important decision you must make at the beginning of the game: your choice of starting class. There are four classes to choose between in Steelrising - Bodyguard, Soldier, Dancer, and Alchemist - and while they only affect starting stats and equipment, the choice is still worth weighing carefully, because each class has particular benefits and drawbacks that the others lack....

Best M60 loadout in Warzone Here’s the best M60 loadout in Warzone: Muzzle: Agency Suppressor Barrel: 22.8″ Match Grade Optic: Axial Arms 3x Stock: SAS Combat Stock Grip: Field Agent Grip The Agency Suppressor is one of the best options out there for a Muzzle.

Best MG82 loadout in Warzone This is a fantastic MG82 loadout for the purposes of shredding foes at long ranges. It’s powerful, forgiving, and - once you get the hang of the recoil - surprisingly easy to use: Muzzle: Agency Suppressor Barrel: 16.4” Task Force Optic: Axial Arms 3x Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap Like most LMGs, this MG82 is built to stay on target and ruin your enemy’s day from range....

In this guide, we’ll break down the best MW2 M16 loadout, explaining the attachments, secondary weapon, perks, and equipment that you need to make the best M16 build possible. Best M16 loadout in Modern Warfare 2 Our MW2 M16 loadout boosts the damage and range so that you can land a 3-shot burst kill from further away, while also raising accuracy and mobility. It sacrifices a sliver of recoil control, which we couldn’t really notice in-game, and even manages to maintain the same handling stat so that you don’t lose any ADS speed....

It behooves you, therefore, to give the STB 556 the greatest chance of leading you to victory. So in the below guide, we’ll walk you through the attachments, equipment, and perks you need to put together the very best STB 556 loadout and class setup in Modern Warfare 2.

Best close-range Tec-9 loadout in Warzone Close-range is where the full auto Tec-9 excels, so this build leans hard into mobility to capitalize: Muzzle: Full Auto Repeater Underbarrel: Bruiser Grip Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight Stock: Raider Stock Ammunition: 48 Round The Full Auto Repeater is a defining attachment on the Tec-9. Slapping this thing on the muzzle gives you full automatic fire at an absurd rate. It flat-out melts at close range with the Full Auto Repeater....

The mod’s been floating about for years but only recently hit version 1.0. It started life as a makeover mod for the original Vice City, so in theory its a better version even before GTA V’s technobits. Here’s a trailer, which confusingly features remade cutscenes from Vice City’s singleplayer campaign that you can’t play with the mod - you only get to muck about with the map, and some homemade missions....

As it happens, then, there’s a chance – if you’re trying to play on Valve’s handheld PC – that all these updates will do is swing a bloodied 9-iron into the Deck’s ability to launch the affected games at all. Whoopsie doodle. To check out the damage, I installed all three borked BioShocks onto my own Steam Deck, complete with the QoL updates, and both BioShock Infinite and BioShock Remastered failed to launch when commanded....

This is a UK-only deal, as I can’t find as the eiQ-32M4K144FS on sale at all from a US retailer. But I can’t stress enough what good value this monitor is for £380: that’s 1440p money, usually, but the eiQ-32M4K144FS is a full 3840x2160 display with a generous 32in of screen space. Between the 144Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync/Nvidia G-Sync support, it’s also remarkably stacked for gaming features; I’ve seen for myself how well G-Sync, for instance, eliminates screen tearing on the IPS panel....

Y’see, there was a red flag at the very start when the long-eared lad tried to install Black Myth but he was clearly running Windows XP. I might be being silly and have missed some other obvious hints, but it wasn’t clear he was living in the glorious past until the very end. Anyway, it’s a fun way to reveal the release date of what looks like an interesting take on the soulslike genre....
