Okay, this is it: the last weekend of summer. Get out there. Make it happen. Feel it. In the long dark months to come I’d be kicking myself if I had let this pass.
What are you playing this weekend? Here’s what we’re clicking on!
Sometimes you read a game synopsis and have to blink and remind yourself it’s not a high-concept metal album, because blimey. Two buds trapped in hell earning their freedom by out-drinking the devil sounds like the sorta thing that’d have some killer riffs. Ah, well. Afterparty still looks bloody incredible. With a release date marked for the end of next month, you don’t have to wait long before drinking the lord of darkness under the table.
Modern Warfare is almost upon us, again. This year’s Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare is much more modern than those other Modern Warfares (all three of them) which, in hindsight, aren’t quite so modern anymore. Things are gritty and real this time around, which is both much more modern and far more war than before. See? Open the Blizzard launcher and take a look for yourself. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare’s big cross-platform open beta kicks off this weekend. Assuming, of course, you’re not fighting in it already.
All the games ever created in the history of the world seemed to have arrived all at once this week, and your deals herald’s been hard at work trying to find all the best PC gaming deals she can to help ease the aching soul of your soon to be depleted wallet. We’ve got deals on the lovely Mutazione that Alice B reviewed yesterday, and don’t forget that everyone’s favourite horrible goose from House House’s Untitled Goose Game will be getting a special discounted launch price of 13.49/$14.99/ 14.99 for two weeks over on the Epic Games Store. But that’s just the tip of the deals-berg this week, as we’ve also got loads of discounts on graphics cards, CPUs, keyboards and monitors, plus loads of other games, too. So let’s quite honking around and fly straight into those sweet, delicious deals.
Are road trips even fun? It’s certainly a nice thought, tearing down a sunlit road with your mates, chugging brews in the back and tunes on the CD player. But I can’t think of any I’ve been on that aren’t outright misery, crammed in the back on a family jaunt across the country, parents arguing over a map while the sausage rolls start stinking up the cab. Still, could be worse. Unlike Overland‘s unfortunate nomads, I don’t recall ever fending off wild dogs with a 2×4 every time we stopped for petrol.
But Finji are finally ready to make the trip. Fill ‘er up and pack your bags, Overland hits the road.
With so many great keyboards to pick from these days, finding the best gaming keyboard for you and your budget can be tricky. First, you’ve got to figure out whether you’d rather save some money and get a cheap membrane-based one, or maybe splash out a bit and get a mechanical one instead.

Our best gaming keyboard guide is here to help.

Below, you’ll find everything from the best membrane gaming keyboards and the mechanical gaming keyboards to the best wireless gaming keyboards and those you can use in your living room if you’d rather kick back on the sofa instead of sitting up at your desk. Whatever your budget, we’ve got a best gaming keyboard recommendation for you.
What’s the deal with geese? It’s a question I’ve been asking myself for the better part of a decade. Admittedly, it’s a rather odd question to have been mulling over for so many years, but for my whole time at university I lived in extreme proximity to them, and it had an impact. My campus was stuffed with the things. As I’d fall asleep at night I’d hear them honking away outside, having a right old laugh with the resident ducks and swans. Those cackling honks would also be the first sounds I’d hear waking up in the morning, too, the conversation no doubt still flowing about their daring escapades playing chicken against cyclists, or snapping at drunks in the night.
They were, and are, obnoxious, belligerent birds (except barnacle geese, beautiful creatures about which I will not have a bad word said), and even now I still feel a small shudder in my soul whenever I catch sight of one. But those ungainly birds of years gone by have nothing> on the goose from Untitled Goose Game. That hulking white menace is evil incarnate. And I absolutely love it.
Adventures With Anxiety is a free work of interactive fiction by Nicky Case. It’s about Sergeant Jack Magnum, elite leader of the deadly facepunch squad. Or it’s about anxiety, whatever.
You play as the anxiety. It’s a little red dog that clings to its human like a raincoat, but detaches when it detects danger it must warn them about. It’ll take about half an hour and it’s pretty nice.
Borderlands 3 weapons are absolutely ridiculous in pretty much every way. Blasting far beyond the standard set by the previous games in the series, the game throws gun after gun after gun at you throughout its lengthy campaign, each with a multitude of attributes and effects that can completely change how the gun is used and how effective it can be in the right hands.
There’s a lot to know about the weapons of the Borderlands, which is why we’ve put together this here Borderlands 3 weapons guide, complete with a fully detailed weapons cheat sheet available in 2k resolution for your second monitor! Have a scroll below and we’ll also go over various aspects of gunplay and weaponry in Borderlands 3 in more detail, from Anointed weapons to rarities, elemental damage, and much more.
Raise the purple flag, comrades. PlanetSide Arena came out yesterday, bringing some royale to PlanetSide 2 s vast battles in a spin-off game of jeeps and jetpacks. Its big thing is that everyone has a quad in their back pocket, but another major draw are the big 12-person team battles. That s in keeping with the scale of the bottomless futurewar, but is it as shooty and adrenal-gland-taxing as other battle royale games? Sin and Brendy crash landed on the murderplanet and joined some big fights to find out.
