The best gaming headsets are a must for anyone who wants to focus on subtle noises or talk serious tactics with teammates. The $300 ANC package comes with an OLED inline control that gives you more control over audio input and output. But this headset has a lot more in common with a pilot’s headset than a gaming headset,” says Maker. Really, we tried to make an aviation headset and cost-optimize its features for an esports player or the hardcore gaming at home.” Check out our list of the best ga

How do you make a big-budget video game movie that doesn’t suck? “I lived the video game curse, because I made Doom,” Johnson said, laughing. “And Doom was a movie based off a very popular video game and was incredibly unsuccessful. “Also making sure that there was a winking charm and humour in Rampage that, for me personally, was not in Doom,” Johnson said. It’s no coincidence that the best part of the 2005 Doom movie was the bit where it abandons all cinematic pretense and goes into an unapolo

But then we reached High Rank, and it turned out that Monster Hunter World couldn’t give a fuck about any of that. Where Monster Hunter World differs from the real world though, is that for all of its harsh treatment and blunt lessons, it actually wants everyone to succeed. When you hit High Rank, you’ll find that, thanks to a drastic difficulty jump, all of your current armour is largely useless. High Rank Monster Hunter is a fantastic, rewarding, long-term experience, as mentally gratifying as

Jehanne Rousseau, Spiders’ CEO, says that the developer really means it when it says “we didn’t want to have any fetch quests”. By getting rid of that one RPG trope that tends to make gamers bury their heads in their hands, Greedfall is already focusing on keeping character-driven tales at its core. That’s what we call nodal, because each choice is a dot – and there are plenty of branches”. Everything you learn during those side-quests can be used to complete other quests in a slightly different

But don’t worry, we’re here to help, with our list of the 25 best free games you should download and play right now. Super Mario RunOkay, more an extended demo than a free game but you still get plenty to try out with Super Mario Run. One: it’s based on the incredible Neverwinter series of PC games, including Neverwinter Nights. Epic Games’ PlayerUnknown BattleGrounds-esque 100-player PvP game mode is free to play on Xbox One, PS4, PC and Mac. The ‘normal’ multiplayer mode is still a paid-for ex

According to Daisy Ridley, the Star Wars 9 director (who, at the time, was one and done after Star Wars: The Force Awakens) actually wrote drafts for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars 9. As revealed by Ridley in an interview with French publication Le Magazine GEEK (and translated by The Playlist), things originally seemed far more straightforward for movie plans in a galaxy far, far away, “J.J. wrote Episode 7, he also wrote drafts for [The Last Jedi] and [Star Wars] 9.” Nice and simple. W

If I was a betting man, I’d be putting all my eggs in the Black Ops 4 basket right now (that’s how betting works, right?). First, there was the surprise, mysterious update to Black Ops 3 on Xbox One and PS4 over the weekend. Then, just yesterday, someone leaked an image of GameStop’s database to Charlie Intel , which appears to show listings for a number of Black Ops 4 themed merch. Does this mean we’ll be hearing more about the next Call of Duty game before that date? If I didn’t know any bette

This is probably as close as we’ll get to seeing Zack Snyder’s mythical Justice League cut. Snyder took to Vero (H/T Screen Rant) to reveal the planned tease. In it, Barry Allen is wearing a Black Freighter shirt. If Tales from the Black Freighter exists in Justice League’s universe, then it’s a sure bet that the events of Watchmen technically took place.

At the Labo Studio I got to build the RC car and the fishing rod, and then Nintendo let us loose in a cardboard playroom with everything from the Variety Kit on show, and… sharp intake of breath… the Robot Kit. Nintendo Labo camBut beyond just the building and the racing, there’s another level to the RC cars too. Next up we were tasked with constructing the fishing rod, which involved grommets and string and elastic bands, and a lot more concentration. The little house kit was cute too, with

The title pretty much gives it away, but Avengers: Infinity War promises to be nothing less than a full-on war epic, superhero-style, with Lord of the Rings-esque battles between Thanos’ army and every familiar face in the MCU. But every good battle needs a tense, eerie standoff before the punching begins, as both sides glare across the battlefield with steely-eyed determination. That’s exactly what this exclusive image, courtesy of our sister publication Total Film magazine, seems to be teasing

Dwayne Johnson’s acting career is defined by three little words; big, dumb fun. From Hercules to Jumanji, the man has always pursued projects which clearly appeal to the inner child jumping up and down within all that tightly packed muscle mass, and his next movie – Rampage – looks to be no different. What we’ve seen of the movie so far looks unashamedly bonkers, but our sister publication Total Film magazine has some exclusive new images which give us an even better idea of what The Rock is coo

Tuesday has just about come and gone – and with it, a host of news tidbits you ought to know about. Overwatch adds Sarah Kerrigan (as a skin)In honor of StarCraft’s 20th anniversary, Blizzard is rolling out gifts across all its games in honor of the Terran, Protoss, and Zerg. If you log into Overwatch anytime between now and April 3, you’ll receive the Kerrigan skin for Widowmaker, so you can pay tribute to the Queen of Blades before her Zerg makeover. Log in to Overwatch between now and April 3

Let’s face it: while the Nintendo Switch is pretty great at a lot of things, storage capacity isn’t one of them. Thankfully, Amazon has an excellent deal for $65 off a 400GB microSD card you can use to boost your Switch to its limit. The Nintendo Switch comes with a pretty small amount of onboard memory, so investing in a microSD card is a wise idea. If you want some recommendations, be sure to check out our list of the best Nintendo Switch games. And if you don’t see something there, here’s the

The two clash, weapons and claws striking against one another, until the beast is felled and the hero stands exhausted but victorious. Sounds like a scene out of Monster Hunter World, but it’s actually what you can expect from the fantasy MMO Tera when it goes into open beta on Xbox One and PS4, March 9 – 11. A plethora of classesThere are 13 classes to pick from in Tera, each one modeled after a different type of weapon. The Tera open beta begins March 9 and runs until March 11. Having played t

Ever since the sci-fi spectacle of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, it’s been crystal clear that this series isn’t afraid to get weird. These new screenshots of Far Cry 5 ‘s Season Pass DLC prove that nothing has changed in that regard. The DLC episodes could hardly be more different from one another without suddenly switching genres entirely (though a Far Cry visual novel doesn’t sound half bad). But if I know anything about Far Cry, Dead-Living Zombies will be gleefully cheesy, like fighting your way

The Black Mirror style trial scheme discourages certain types of behaviour and can even penalise people for buying video games. The Black Mirror season 3 premiere, Nosedive , was a hard, honest look at our obsession with social media, and how our online presence increasingly has bearing on our social standing in the real world. Buying video games, for example, can lower your social credit score under Sesame Credit’s system. Wired magazine spoke to Sesame Credit creators Alibaba in late 2017: “Al

So far the list includes Assassin’s Creed, Watch Dogs, Rainbow Six and all the Far Crys back to number 3. Rather than existing as a stand alone component, that Arcade name ties into how you can now access both the editor, and the user created content, by finding an in-game arcade cabinet. “If you go back and look at [the in-game editor] in Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4, it wasn’t always easy to get to it, it wasn’t always easy to curate,” says Hay. Previously Far Cry 4 only featured Assault, Hunt, Out

And, if by something, you’re thinking of a song parody involving Wonder Woman, Thor, Pennywise, and every Chris under the sun then you’re in luck because it’s here and it’s glorious. Presumably scheduled to boast Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Chris Rock, Chris Pine, Chris Evans, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, and more, it would’ve been a nightmare to get them all in one place and strutting their stuff. The Pennywise ‘Oscars so white’ reference is gloriously cringy too. Much like the It movie, you’ll be

The Walking Dead season 8 still hasn’t got over Carl. First, the contents: while some of the letter was obscured, it reads (complete with gaps):Negan. Rick chooses to open Carl’s letter to Negan. Negan, after hearing of Carl’s letter, may choose to see things differently and opt for peace. That’s one question answered, here’s five more to mull over: 6 questions I had after watching The Walking Dead season 8, episode 2

Here’s all the worthwhile news tidbits you might’ve missed over the past day, so you can get all up to speed! Valkyrie Profile lives onSquare Enix showed off a cryptic teaser trailer for a Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, which will likely be a rerelease of the PSP game (itself a port of the classic PS1 RPG).
