Orlog! Orlog! Orlog! I have played a grand total of four hours of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and at least two of them have been playing this daft dice game. Much like The Witcher 3’s Gwent, players can stumble upon Orlog challengers throughout Valhalla, and partake in a weirdly engrossing minigame. I have good news for those of us who’ve got hooked on it – Ubisoft are making an actual physical version that’s set to arrive next year.
Rain-drenched streets tinted pink by neon lights? No, Hitman 3 hasn’t gone all Cyberpunk on us just yet. Rather, developers IO Interactive have given us a peek at the stealthy sandbox threequel’s visual upgrades with a trip to new location Chongqing, a Chinese city whose rain-swept roads are perfect for showing us lots of close-up shots of raindrops splashing off Mr Hitman’s extra-shiny scalp.

[cms-block] is often a great time for picking up gaming laptops on the cheap, and this year is no exception, with Ebuyer offering up some fantastic deals on two RTX 2060 models of one of our favourite Lenovo gaming laptops. It’s rare to see an RTX 2060-powered machine for under £1000, but both of these models can be had for £950 and £880 apiece, making them some of the best [cms-block] we’ve seen so far.
“Lads, let’s wrap this up. I’ve got banana bread in the oven.” Words I foolishly typed into the text chat of my Valorant match to inform my teammates that I did not have time to mess about – I had baked goods at stake.
I made many mistakes on Sunday. The first was thinking I could get in a quick round of Riot’s tactical FPS while my loaf was baking. The recipe said 50 minutes, Valo matches usually last up to 40. Reader, my match did not last just 40 minutes.
