Earlier this week, Marvel’s Avengers shared a dope new animated short, titled Road to Wakanda: Children of T'Chaka, that shed light on T’Challa and Shuri’s childhood. It got me even more hyped for War For Wakanda, the upcoming expansion for Marvel's Avengers.
The short, illustrated by comic icon Alitha Martinez (Batgirl and World Of Wakanda), is told from the perspective of Wakandan general Okoye, and hints at some potential plot points for the expansion.
If Hitman 3’s latest escalation mission looks familiar, it’s because the last time you were here, 47 was working hard to solve a murder mystery in Dartmoor Mansion. Returning to the scene of the crime finds the mansion in full bloom, and now playing host to a garden party. With four full gardens installed in the grounds, the murky murder mystery setting makes way for bright skies, gorgeous plants, and milling judges in the Dartmoor Garden Show.
Every major update to Rust has me questioning whether or not I actually know what kind of game Rust is. It's the survival one, yeah? The one where you start out naked and bash other folks with rocks, right? Perhaps it is, but now it's also the one where you can buy a functional submarine, slay sharks, and visit underwater lairs. If that's too adventurous, you could just hunt smaller prey with a fishing rod too. Rust's underwater update Going Deep has now launched and there's all sorts of other maritime playtime to tackle.
As someone who both adores Adam Robinson-Yu's wholesome adventure game A Short Hike and has spent many hundreds of hours playing Animal Crossing over the years, Fabien Weibel's new camping indie game Haven Park seems like the perfect cross-section of my personal gaming tastes. It's set on a colourful island paradise-cum-outdoors adventure park, much like A Short Hike, and your task is to make this place a nice, cosy hangout for prospective campers, building and crafting new facilities to fulfil their needs, which is very much in the same vein as Nintendo's animal life sim. And having played a bit of the game so far, I am happy to report that this really is the perfect cross-section of my personal gaming tastes, and I will likely be losing the entire weekend to it as I continue my little adventure.
Space pirates, bounty hunters, a badass woman named Luna Starr and more colours that I think I'm capable of seeing - that's what to expect from Star Hunter DX, a neo-retro sci-fi bullet hell game that's out right now. I had a go of the free demo on Steam, and it's, well, it's a bit of a trip. While the artwork and 80s vibes are brilliant, the bullets sure did give me hell. I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Season 5 update will add Double Agent mode, “an investigative Multiplayer party experience” where a team of 10 is infiltrated by three randomly selected double agents. The lone investigator must work with the rest of the players to snuff out the creeps intent on planting bombs and taking lives.
The video games industry is fixated on what's coming next. But, as a famous man once said, "building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." Solid Snake at the end of Metal Gear Solid 2 was absolutely bang on, wasn't he?
The LG 27GN800, one of my personal top monitor recommendations right now, is down to $300 in the US and £279 in the UK. These are great prices for a 27-in monitor with a Fast IPS panel, 1440p resolution and 144Hz refresh rate.
Like the 27GL850 before it, this monitor combines the motion handling of a TN screen with the colours and viewing angles of IPS, making it a great all-rounder for work and games of all kinds. It also supports FreeSync and G-Sync, so you can use variable refresh rates on all kinds of PCs and Xboxen.
Managing the climate is usually an afterthought in colony building games, if it's included at all. It tends to be a non-issue until the game’s basically over, and its effects are usually underwhelming.
Imagine Earth isn't entirely about the environment. And it needn’t be, given that you're working for a business colonising one of countless worlds. Who cares if you destroy a planet when you can easily skip over to another one? You can do that. You can be pretty rapacious. But I find it more fun to be the oceanic aliens, because they start out with lots of seabase technology, so when your rivals accidentally melt the ice caps you can mostly just laugh at them.
The RPD is one of the lowest-recoil LMGs in Warzone. This thing doesn’t exactly do a ton of damage, but with accuracy like this and LMG magazine sizes that hardly matters. You can put so many shots on target without reloading that teams will just melt before your eyes. If you want to try out this incredibly precise weapon, we’re here to help with our guide to the best RPD loadout in Warzone.
