  • Remember 2017's Star Wars Battlefront 2? It’s good now - like, really good

    6 days ago | gamesradar.com | Jake Tucker

    Star Wars Battlefront 2 didn’t just stumble out of the gate – it faceplanted into a Dagobah swamp, dragged down by loot boxes, bad press, and the kind of monetization that made even the most hardened Sith wince. At launch, it was less "power fantasy" and more "pay-to-win fiasco," sparking a loud backlash. But here’s the kicker: instead of leaving it to rot in carbonite, EA and DICE got to work.

  • Say what you will about the Illuminate, but their war on Super Earth has made Helldivers 2 more intense than ever

    1 week ago | gamesradar.com | Jake Tucker

    Helldivers 2 is having a moment. The recent Heart of Democracy update has brought the battle to Super Earth, pitting the Helldivers in a desperate battle against the Illuminate to determine humanity's fate. The update is Helldivers 2 writ large, with the chaos and intensity turned up to 11. It's also perhaps the most fun I've ever had in Helldivers 2, even if the teammates, civilians and AI-controlled friendly soldiers that I've been teamkilling don't quite feel the same way.

  • Schedule 1 is my favourite co-op game of the year because it lets me bully my friends into doing the hard parts for me

    I didn't realise a criminal empire would lead to so many early mornings. Yet, here I am, waking up at 7 am every morning and skateboarding around my regulars, making sure they've got enough stuff to get them through the day.

  • After playing a Den of Wolves heist, I have high hopes for the cyberpunk take on Payday 2

    2 months ago | pcgamer.com | Jake Tucker

    Den of Wolves makes me feel like I'm drowning. In my brief hands-on demo of the upcoming sci-fi heist game, I found that when the enemies start to push from every direction, the best you can do is huddle close to your teammates and try to stay alive. We failed near the final hurdle in our first attempt at a Den of Wolves heist, but pulled it out of the bag for the second, extracting with nearly empty weapons, bags full of loot, and a mission well done.

Lots of excuses around Musk's salute bouncing around but I'm autistic and pretty awkward but I still manage to get through my day without throwing up a fascist salute in front of a crowd of people.
