One SSD we really recommend is the MX500 from Crucial, which is easy to install and gives you a lot of fast storage if you pick the 1TB and above models. Crucial MX500 2TB 2.5" SATA III SSD- £137.94 from CCL (Was £205.42) The MX500 earned Digital Foundry’s reccomendation for best value SSD for gaming thanks to its random read and write performance and a good endurance rating. You can also use it with an Xbox Series X/S or PS5 if you get a SATA to USB cable or enclosure and make your console games load even faster....

Walking it back for a second, initially, you are in a fight for survival - or, less of a two-way fight and more one-way struggle. You are a Sleeper, a corporate-owned, replicant-on-a-budget entity with a generic, robotic body and emulated mind, based on a real human but with reduced memories and even fewer rights, unsure of whether that’s enough to even count as being alive (yes, a Descartes reference comes up - but it’s a fun one)....

Here on this page we’ll be detailing all the essential info about Simón Bolívar and his Gran Colombian civilization, including all of the unique units, buildings, and bonuses he brings. For more like this, it’s worth taking a look at our guide to Maya and Lady Six Sky, who was introduced at the same time. Simón Bolívar Unique Ability: Campaña Admirable Earn a Commandante Generale, a unique Great General unit, every the game enters a new era....

Well, if this is you, I have good news. The God of War cookbook is now available. The Official Cookbook of the Nine Realms comes from prolific recipe writer Victoria Rosenthal (you may recognise her name from a podcast with Bertie earlier in the year) and Rick Barba. It includes an array of recipes inspired by Kratos’ escapades, such as mushroom quiche (apparently a culinary forte of Kratos’) and prosciutto wrapped figs....

The Corsair HS70 Pro is a wireless 7.1 gaming headset that is currently nearly half price at Currys, where it’s available for just £49.99. This headset supports both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth connections, so this is ideal for PC, Mac and PlayStation 4 and 5 users. And the detachable microphone is unidirectional and noise-cancelling, features you’d only see in headsets close to the HS70’s original retail price. There’s also virtual 7....

Asked if Sony’s decision to begin porting its games to the platform was something championed by the Santa Monica team early on, Barlog, in conversation with GameInformer, suggested it was actually the developers across Sony’s PlayStation Studios network that were ultimately instrumental in convincing the company to make the move to PC. “I think it was the collective of studios all over saying this is a really good idea. We should be looking into this,” Barlog explained....

Prior to the 7th January update, when a CS:GO player disconnected or was kicked they were replaced by a bot to keep teams even. Following the update, players who disconnect or are kicked in classic competitive and wingman modes will no longer be replaced by a bot. This means there is no more 5v5 if a player leaves - teams will always be a player down. If the the entire other team leaves, one bot will be left on the other team, idling in spawn....

Now that the Collision event featuring The Rock is over, and the Imagined Order is seemingly defeated, you get to celebrate on the crashed remains of the IO Airships. You can also visit the Zero Point location and locate Whiplashes to complete more Fortnite challenges. After dancing at three crashed IO Airships, you will clear the challenge and get 15K XP, which will help you start collecting those rewards from the current battle pass....

Outcast 2: A New Beginning, as the sequel is known, unfolds 20 years after the original adventure (which released back in 1999) as preposterously named series protagonist, and ex-Navy Seal, Cutter Slade returns for another jaunt across the alien world of Adelpha. This time, the planet is under threat of invasion, as a ruthless army of robots begins enslaving and murdering its citizens. Cutter’s mission - unfolding as a 3rd-person open-world action-adventure that should be familiar to fans of the original - is to mount a resistance, liberate the people, and rid Adelpha of the robot invaders once and for all....

As detailed by Gamespot, the newly announced show will be a collaboration between Nightdive Studios, which currently holds the System Shock license, and Binge.com, an “immersive streaming platform created for the gaming universe” that’s set to launch next year. Information on the adaptation is extremely limited at present, but it’ll be produced by Binge exec Allan Ungar (who you may remember as the man responsible for that unofficial Uncharted short starring Nathan Fillion from a few years back), while Nightdive’s Stephen Kick and Larry Kuperman will serve as executive producers....

Cyberpunk 2077 initially shifted 13m copies when it arrived for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in December 2020, but interest in the game dropped precipitously as word of its technical issues spread. Initial analyst estimates had put its first-year sales around the 30m mark, though these were then revised down. Our last sales update for the game came in April this year, when it passed 18m copies after 16 months....

According to Deadline, the movie will be written by Oscar-nominated Sheldon Turner, with Sam Heughan - who plays Outlander’s Jamie Fraser - reportedly in consideration for the lead role of Deacon St. John. The movie will be produced by Jennifer Klein and Turner’s production company, Vendetta Productions, whilst Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan will be producing on behalf of Sony PlayStation Productions. According to the entertainment website, the movie will be a “love ballad to motorcycle movies” in a post-pandemic “modern-day western”....

This takes place at a new location - the Ruined Factory - and introduces new items such as the Maser, a useful short-range stealth weapon that you can use elsewhere in the game. Whether you’re starting a new playthrough, or are coming to the Director’s Cut after transferring a PS4 save, accessing the new content happens sooner than you think. On this page: If you’re looking for assistance on the critical path, our Death Stranding walkthrough can help....

Be ready to invest preparation and planning before heading in - as well as learning how to get your hands on some bonus loot.

Via its Bungie Help Twitter account, Destiny 2’s developer said it had pulled the mode yesterday evening for the remainder of its weekly rotation due to an unspecified “issue” - though fans were quick to guess why. Frustration at the state of Trials of Osiris, the game’s sweatiest and most competitive mode, has been growing for some time. Players have long complained of cheating, team carrying, poor matchmaking and the sheer amount of effort (seven consecutive match wins) required to grind out its best rewards....

“We are actively working on longer-term enhancements to the voice communications system,” the developer said in a tweet. As I discussed in our Destruction AllStars review, the PlayStation 5-exclusive has lobby voice chat on by default and the microphone in the PS5 controller is on by default. You can disable these two features, but not from within the game itself (to mute the voice chat when you join a game, press the PlayStation button then Square on the party chat card)....

The thing is, as many have stated, Stadia had much to commend it in terms of actually delivering a decent enough streaming experience - markedly better than xCloud in terms of quality. Regardless, the system did not attract much interest and it’s time to face realities about the actual viability of cloud-based platforms in general. Let’s start with the technological arguments first. Put simply, if the platform holder is not responsible for the quality of the experience from beginning to end, there will always be problems....

In some respects, this beautifully produced remaster of Diablo 2 is unlucky to be Blizzard’s first release since the state of California filed suit against the studio. Much of the work on it was done by Vicarious Visions, a blameless outfit only integrated with Blizzard earlier this year. (Indeed, its former studio head Jen Oneal was recently named co-leader of Blizzard, a new broom presumably intended to lead reform there....

The Deluxe Edition is one of three now available to pre-order via Blizzard’s Battle.net, as well as the slightly cheaper £80 Digital Deluxe Edition, and the £60 Standard Edition. All pre-purchases get you access to the game and its open beta, plus a handful of extra cosmetics. The two pricier versions add extra cosmetic options and the game’s seasonal battle pass, with the Ultimate Edition upgrading that latter reward into its “accelerated” version....

If you need a second, or just fancy something new and not quite so white, this is the cheapest price we’ve seen so far. Particularly so for the Starlight Blue, Galactic Purple, and Nova Pink models, which are new for 2022. DualSense White Controller – $49.99 at Walmart (was $69.00) DualSense Cosmic Red Controller – $49.99 at Walmart (was $74.99) DualSense Galactic Purple Controller – $49.99 at Walmart (was $74....
