Nvidia are holding their CES 2021 GeForce RTX event today, and you can watch it right here with us at 9am PST / 5pm GMT. It’s widely expected that Nvidia will announce that their RTX 30 GPUs will be making the move to laptops this evening, but we might also see some more desktop graphics cards get announced as well, such as the hotly-rumoured 20GB RTX 3080 Ti, or maybe even what’s coming at the more mainstream end of Nvidia’s RTX 30 family. RTX 3050 and RTX 3060s anyone?

On Friday, Dragon Age 4‘s executive producer Christian Dailey shared a lovely new bit of concept art for BioWare’s upcoming RPG. It’s a beautiful piece featuring an archer stood amongst some autumnal ruins. Concept art is about all we’ve seen of the game so far – well, that, and a short teaser at last year’s Game Awards. But nevertheless, it’s got my mind racing with lots of Dragon Age thoughts, and I reckon we can determine a potential location and character class from it.

Riot Games and Bungie have teamed up to sue a pesky cheatmaker who’s been selling hacks for their games, Valorant and Destiny 2 (amongst others). In a joint lawsuit filed by the companies on Friday, they accuse GatorCheats of selling and distributing “malicious software products designed to enable members of the public to gain unfair competitive advantage.”

SMGs in Warzone have been extremely powerful from day one. Built for speed both in their handling and how quickly they can drop an enemy to the ground, SMGs have always been very nearly as popular as Assault Rifles when it comes to premade Warzone loadouts.

Our Best SMG in Warzone guide will walk you through the stats of all the SMGs on offer, before divulging our personal take on the very best and very worst SMGs that Warzone has to offer.

Fight your way to the final circle in Warzone right now and you’ll likely encounter something thought long-gone, something thought to be extinct. Yes, I’m sorry to announce that the infinite stim glitch has returned.

Disney have rebranded the Lucasfilm video games division, this time sending the Star Wars lords back to a name from 1986: Lucasfilm Games. That’s the brand under which they developed games including The Secret Of Monkey Island and Loom. This seemingly is only a rebranding, mind, and they’re not rebuilding the development studio. Because Disney run time on a loop, presumably they’ll rebrand to LucasArts in 2025, essentially close it down in 2048, then return to Lucasfilm Games in 2056.

Probably the most common woe, for all but the most unnaturally gifted players of real-time strategy games, is the feeling of being overwhelmed. Particularly in games from the genre’s “golden age” in the late 90s, there’s a relentless need to focus on several things at once, and endlessly jump back and forth between combat and economy. Age Of Empires 2, beautiful beast though it is, is certainly no exception, even with the concessions to modernity introduced in its Definitive Edition last year.

However. What if I was to tell you there was a way to play the game, totally unmodded, in a way that eliminates this concern entirely? Well, as the bloke off of Pirates Of The Carribean once memorably said, “you’d best start believing in posts about weird, gestalt-consciousness Age Of Empires sessions; ye’re in one.”

In strategy games that cover broad swathes of human history, it’s always a bit sad that the Stone Age is, at best, an early game sideshow – something to be breezed past in a couple of technological leaps on the way to better things. Not so with Dawn Of Man, which concentrates on the various something-lithic periods to the exclusion of everything else. In this game, pointy bits of iron, ploughs and cheese are end-game tech.

Back in the year 2014, before Dark Souls 3, there were those of us out there looking to find some more Souls-style RPGs who hoped perhaps we’d find it in CI Games’ Lords Of The Fallen. No such luck, as it turned out to be quite an average attempt to emulate the formula. Now, CI Games are talking up their planned sequel Lords Of The Fallen 2 once again, revealing a logo and plans to make the series more popular among those Dark Souls fans they didn’t quite convince the first time around.
