Hope you’re ready for some big business-y numbers on this fine Monday afternoon. Last month, Take-Two Interactive announced they had plans to buy Dirt developer Codemasters for a whopping £759 million. However, that doesn’t seem to be happening anymore. Other gaming megacorp, Electronic Arts, are ready to do the buying instead. They’ve swooped in with a cheeky £914 million offer for Codemasters, who are expected to complete the deal with EA early next year – unless some other giant publisher kicks in the door throwing even more cash everywhere, I suppose.

Cyberpunk 2077 Angel or Skye choice

Whoever thought the most agonising choice to make in Cyberpunk 2077 was between Angel and Skye, two sex workers operating out of a high-end dollhouse in Night City? Some might be wondering whether there are different outcomes to this choice, and some may simply have forgotten which was male and which was female. Regardless, you’ll find your answers just below in our Cyberpunk 2077 Angel or Skye guide.

Cyberpunk 2077 transmog

Players of Cyberpunk 2077 have quickly realised that you have to make a choice between being powerful and looking cool.

Read the below Cyberpunk 2077 transmog guide to find out what you can do to make V look just a little bit cooler.

What could be behind door number 14? It’s giving off a bit of a new, exuberant, optimistic vibe. There is a lot of very loud karaoke happening somewhere behind it, and it sounded like someone just got attacked by a crayfish.

How to turn off nudity in Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077, as advertised, features a great deal of nudity. From the first moments of character creation to the game’s various sex scenes, there’s plenty of nudity to see.

This quick guide will walk you through how to disable nudity in Cyberpunk 2077 so that everyone, including your own character, will remain at least somewhat clothed throughout the course of the game.

This is no surprise, but it’s good to hear: CD Projekt Red say they’re planning to release multiple updates for Cyberpunk 2077 on PC. It needs ’em. While I’ve thankfully been spared the crashing some players have suffered, I run into enough bugs, glitches, and quirks that the whole game feels a bit farcical. CDPR don’t talk about the scale or pace of their PC patch plans in today’s statement, because it focuses primarily on consoles, but know that they are coming.

Cyberpunk 2077 Breach Protocol hacking minigame

Players of Cyberpunk 2077 will likely have noticed a hacking minigame appear a great many times throughout V’s journey. This minigame will appear when you use Breach Protocol on an enemy, but it can also be used on certain machines and access points to get extra money. It’s a fairly confusing minigame that isn’t well-explained by the game, but our Cyberpunk 2077 hacking minigame guide will walk you through exactly how it all works, so you’ll never be confused again by this strange screen of codes and sequences.

Cyberpunk 2077 story quests list: how many quests are there?

The Cyberpunk 2077 story is where the game truly shines, in spites of all its other faults. Comprised of several acts and chapters, each with multiple branching quests, it can be fairly tricky to figure out how far along into the story you are. Our Cyberpunk 2077 story quests list will walk you through exactly how many quests are in each section of the story, so you’ll know how much there is left to do before you reach the end.

A sabre-toothed tiger and bear fighting each other in Far Cry Primal

I’m a sucker for Far Cry’s charismatic bad guys. Since Far Cry 3, Ubisoft has obviously been aiming to write villians that thrill and terrify in equal measure, but with the stone-age Far Cry Primal they weren’t as concerned about handsome, hypnotic lunatics, or superforeigners that were here to save the day via a never-ending stream of bullets.

To my eyes, at least, they wanted to stick Far Cry’s survival of the fittest hunting and gathering in a game where it made sense.

[cms-block]This is a strange old door. It’s upside down, for a start, and it’s got a faint whiff of flamingo meat to it. You’ve got a horrible feeling it might be a metaphor for something. But none of that really matters, because it’s simply a cracking little door, and you want to hear more of the sick double bass riff that’s just audible from within.
