Did you find the main campaign in The Outer Worlds just a little too easy? Well the Supernova difficulty is where the real challenge is and if you’re not prepared for the worst, you can easily die over and over, or even worse – lose your companions. Of course, you don’t want that to happen, so we’ve played a little bit of the game and scoured the internet to get tips to help you survive supernova difficulty in The Outer Worlds.

With all the corporations in The Outer Worlds vying for your attention, it can be difficult to know how to effectively use them and which ones you should be seeking out. Some may have the same effects, but last far longer, while the bulk of products out there are just the same type of item repackaged.

2K today slapped a patch on the glitching wound of WWE 2K20, hoping the game’s juddering body wouldn’t phase through a floor then launch into orbit before the process could be completed. The game was mighty buggy when it launched last week, see, and not in subtle ways. Our Matt looked at how fun WWE 2K20 glitches were as long as you weren’t the person playing it. Today’s patch targets a lot of the problem areas, and more patches will follow.

The Epic Games Store has a little Halloween treat for you, with both dress ’em up RPG Costume Quest and grim depths survival game Soma free for the next week. If you’re going to grab a freebie for your kiddy-winks, I urge you to be very careful with your clicks or prepare for some long nights ahead. Epic also just announced a few new additions to their storefront, so let’s take a look at that as well.

New Zealand authorities have banned a mass shooting FPS which draws inspiration from the terrorist attacks on mosques in Christchurch this March, declaring The Shitposter a “terrorist publication”. Chief censor David Shanks called it “a product created for and marketed to white supremacists who are interested in supporting and celebrating white extremist attacks.”

We’d so far ignored this the game because it’s a tedious attempt by developers 2Genderz Productions to profit from controversy. It’s a familiar one too, I say having received too many e-mails from the creator of their first game. They tried to get coverage for that by adopting stances from ‘it’s parody’ and ‘actually this is opposing neo-Nazis’ to ‘hello I’m a concerned citizen writing to you about a scandalous video game have you seen this scandal?’ Tedious.

Of course Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare has nothing interesting to say about war. Of course its guns feel good, and its explosions are many and impressive. Of course the multiplayer is essentially the same game we’ve been playing for over a decade, only prettier and in more flavours. Of course a part of me likes it, and of course part of me is jaded by its similarity to CODs prior. Of course, of course, of course.

‘Of courses’ are for horse critics with nothing interesting to say, however, and I’m not going to write a review filled with them. I just want to make it clear from the outset that Modern Warfare contains no surprises, outside of a few scenes where excess crosses the line into self-parody.

It’s almost as if they planned it. Here I am, lamenting Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare‘s lacklustre attempt to mirror Battlefield’s large scale conflict with its new “Ground War” mode. There go Dice, whacking in two new maps plus a handful of weapons and vehicles to Battlefield 5 as part of yesterday’s update. They’ve opened up the Pacific front, and my pals are murmuring about returning.

In a two-pronged attack, Dice have also opened their war doors for free ’til Sunday. I think those murmurs might be widespread.

After decades of stasis, the landscape of computer wargaming is beginning to change. Here and there desert hexagons are greening… dry arroyos are becoming rivers again… the accumulated dust and debris of forty years of conservative thinking is being sluiced towards the sea. Tired of threadbare, truth-blurring conventions, imaginative devs are looking at war and warriors in fresh, arresting ways. In today’s column, I talk to one of the studios contributing to this nascent revolution, and play a game that demonstrates the vigour, vision, and boldness of New Wave wargaming perfectly. (more…)

The 25 pictures in a cluster foxer are arranged in 5 discretely/discreetly themed clusters. Pictures in a particular cluster must be cardinally contiguous to be valid. For example, A1, B1, C1, D1, D2 is a possible cluster, unlike A2, B2, C2, D2, E3. To fully defox today s enlargeable puzzle identify the themes and constituent images of all five clusters. (more…)
