Welcome, gentle listener, to the 2020 Electronic Wireless Show podcast game awards special! No, not an entire show about Geoff Keighley’s cavalcade of trailers (and some awards sometimes), but a bumper episode where we make up our own award categories, and then give them to the deserving games of 2020. These include The Ronseal Award for doing what it says on the tin (podcast not actually sponsored by Ronseal, so it does sort of feel we’re missing a trick here) and the Very Tiny Men award for tiniest men.

We talk a lot about Nate accidentally impaling a child and chugging loads of milk because he had literally no other choice. There is an update on the scaffold situation at Matthew’s house. Also, the Emotions Gorilla pays us a visit.

The MAC 10 is one hell of a piece of kit in Warzone. With its ludicrously fast fire rate, you’ll have a massive amount of potential damage output in close quarters, and being able to quickly switch to this gun mid-scrap can be the X factor you need to finish an enemy squad. So, with that in mind, here’s our best MAC 10 loadout in Warzone.

Your gaming keyboard is one of the most important parts of your PC, but picking the best gaming keyboard for you and your budget can be a challenge when there are so many different types to choose from. But we’re here to help. I’ve tested dozens of gaming keyboards over the years, and so I’ve put together this list of all my top recommendations. It covers all budgets and switch preferences, and I’ve also included a short explainer on everything you need to know about buying a new gaming keyboard, too, including what the difference is between membrane and mechanical keyboards, and what all the different types of mechanical switch mean. Whatever you’re looking for, we’ve got a gaming keyboard recommendation for you.

The rhythmic chuntering of wheels on a track, the toot toot of the engineer’s whistle, and the scream of a dying angelic host. There’s a lot going on behind door seventeen of the RPS Advent Calendar, then. Easy to learn, but hard to master, one might say.

Gorilla Arms are some of the most sought-after and powerful cyberware upgrades you can find in Cyberpunk 2077. Great for both pummelling enemies into the ground and ripping open doors and turrets, these arms predictably aren’t easy to obtain. But our Cyberpunk 2077 Gorilla Arms guide will look to make the job a little easier for you. We’ll walk you through why Gorilla Arms are so powerful, along with details on where to find the Legendary Gorilla Arms and what you’ll need in order to use them.

Buying the best gaming mouse can be difficult when there are so many different mice to choose from, but we’re here to help.

Here I thought Assassin’s Creed Valhalla might get away from those icky experience point boosters Ubisoft so like to put in their games, alas it was not to be. In Valhalla’s in-game store you can now buy XP boosts for real-life cash, which effectively double your XP gain. They’re designed to save you time, so you don’t need to do tons of side quests to level up. But they caused a fair bit of backlash in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and I can’t say I’m particularly happy to see them return.

Mantis Blades. They’re flashy, they’re cool, and funnily enough, they’re practical too, being one of the most powerful melee weapons you can find in Cyberpunk 2077. If, like everyone else, you’re wondering how to get your hands on these Mantis Blades (or vice versa, I guess), then you’ve come to the right place. Our Cyberpunk 2077 Mantis Blades guide will show you where you can find Legendary Mantis Blades very early on, and also talk a little about why they’re so powerful and how to use them properly.

The new season in Call Of Duty: Warzone has got off to a rough start, with the novelty of a new map and weapons being counterbalanced by a nightmarish bug which lets players run round fully invisible, killing with impunity. Presumably that’ll be a high-priority one to fix but right now, oof, it’s rough out there in the Warzone.

Age Of Empires 2

is about to receive its sixth expansion pack, Lords Of The West, just a casual 22 years after the base game first wololoed its way onto our screens. From January 26th in the year of our lord 2021, players will be able to take the knight-happy Burgundians and the castle-dropping Sicilians for a spin, as well as play through three new campaigns – one each for the new civs, and a third for the Britons, featuring good old Edward Longshanks. Longshanks, of course, was the baddie off of Braveheart, and thus also the baddie off of AoE2’s first ever campaign, where you played as William Wallace in a series of adventures that were totally based on history and not the film.
