Creative Assembly today revealed Total War: Elysium, a free-to-play card battle game based on uh, history I guess? After announcing Elysium in August 2019, today they showed more in a trailer and announced it’s coming to PC later this year. Total War: Elysium will have historical leaders and forces throw down, and it all looks quite Heartstone-y. Watch the trailer below and you’ll see.
I forgot the name of Deadside within seconds of closing it. Even looking at its store page raises… not alarm bells, exactly, but some negative assumptions. It looks a lot like a lot of other, not very good games fighting for a place in the ultra-hostile, grim Eastern European PvP shooter leagues.
If you’re wondering how to report a player in Valorant for their actions in a match, you’ve come to exactly the right place. Below we’ll walk you through how to report a player whether you’re in a game or out of one; and we’ll also talk a bit about the kind of behaviour that might warrant sending off a report to Riot Games.
Asus ROG laptops are at a bit of a disadvantage to me, because I immediately associate them with Rogg – the dimwitted claymation monster from kids TV classic Trap Door. Of course, what it actually stands for is only slightly less ludicrous: Republic of Gamers, an Asus sub brand yet to be recognised by the UN as an actual nation state. In any case, the company’s gaming laptops are pretty damned good, and Best Buy have a pretty tempting offer on the Zephyrus GA502DU model: it’s 25% off right now, down to $900 rather than the usual $1200.
It’s been a very, very long time, but Mount And Blade 2 Bannerlord is finally in early access. But if the first game is anything to go by, the sequel will have some very alien concepts for a lot of people. However, with these top tips and by putting some time into it, you may very well get significantly better at combat and have an army that will have bandits quivering in their boots. (more…)
The adventures of Master Chief will continue in Halo 2: Anniversary next Tuesday, May 12th, Microsoft have announced. This time Master Chief (a name I still refuse to believe is real, even as characters say it) and Cortana (a name I still reuse to believe Microsoft reused for their voice-activated searchbot) are joined by a new ally, switching perspectives for part of the story. I’m weirdly hesitant to say more. It might be a cool surprise if you’ve not heard owt about Halo 2 over the past 16 years?
Ebay vouchers are never simple, are they? One is doing the rounds at the moment promising 8% off all sorts of PC components and monitors, but it’s not clear which ones and why. Presumably Ebay believe that shoppers enjoy the thrill of the chase as much as parting with their hard earned cash, which feels… a stretch. Luckily, I’ve done the hard work for you and picked out some of my top highlights below, including £50 off an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X, and our [cms-block] champion, the Ryzen 5 3600, for £152 – which is £17 cheaper than that Newegg deal on Monday.
There comes a time in Mount And Blade 2 Bannerlord where you must think about raising the next generation. In order to bring new life into the world, you need to seduce a partner. Luckily, this is one of the few things in the game that isn’t especially complicated to achieve once you know how.
What is it with Apex Legends and hiding secret laboratories underneath the arenas of popular televised bloodsports? First we had the labs under Kings Canyon with that huge void portal to get in and out of it, and now we find out there’s a huge facility chock-full of Revenant clones, too. It’s discovered by upcoming Legend Loba in the Season 5 launch trailer, and we even get a first look at what some of her abilities might be before the fifth season drops next week. Fair warning: it looks like she might be able to straight up pull your gun out of your hands.
The paths and waypoints assigned by the Comment Commanders this turn, radiate into the darkness like a toadstool’s mycelium. Conscious that the clock is ticking, Croesus and Co. are out to secure one subterranean chamber (‘LEAD’) and inspect/subdue another (‘ZINC’) from multiple angles.
(Colonel Croesus is an open-to-all game of Combat Mission: Fortress Italy in which Allied forces are orchestrated by commenters while German units are computer controlled. Each daily turn covers one minute of WeGo action. For a scenario outline and accounts of earlier turns, click here)> (more…)
