Overwatch 2 is getting a "Classic" mode that restores the shooter to how it was in 2016

Mei be worth a look Blizzard explained the ins and outs of Classic mode ina rose-tinty post. They also explain that this won’t be the only time the mode appears (Overwatch 2, like its predecessor, likes to run limited-time events often). Each time the classic event shows up it will replicate the “heroes and balance from popular moments in the game’s history.” This time that means you can have a team composition of six Torbjorns, the turret-thwacking Swede....

The new Nvidia App is out now, justly banishing GeForce Experience to history

All-in-one GPU utility configures itself out of beta After nearly a year of public beta honing, the Nvidia App – Team Green’s new one-stop shop for desktopGPUmanagement – isout in full. Not alongside the upcoming RTX 50 series, as rumoured, but right-now-today-this-minute. I’ve been testing out the launch version and while it’s not without some dud features, it does agreeably achieve its stated goal of combining the functions within Nvidia Control Panel and GeForce Experience....

The Rise Of The Golden Idol review: fiendish but fair detective puzzling whose mystery you’ll want to unravel

Fuzzwords Here’s a Steam quote for you: ‘The Rise Of The Golden Idolis the best game I’ve ever played where I spent most of my time staring at the screen going “well what chuffing wellis it, then?!” Fiendish but fair, this detectivepuzzlerdemands a heady mix of observation, deduction, and logic, but rewards you with a progressively engaging story, and steadily more infuriatingly brilliant puzzles. Despite teaching you everything you need to know in the tutorial, it still manages to introduce new wrinkles and twists on the formula with each fresh chapter....

Ubisoft is being sued over The Crew in a lawsuit that compares the server shutdown to a bumperless pinball machine

The servers were taken offline in March, rendering the online-only game unplayable “Imagine you buy a pinball machine, and years later, you enter your den to go play it, only to discover that all the paddles are missing, the pinball and bumpers are gone, and the monitor that proudly displayed your unassailable high score is removed”. As reported byPolygon, that’s an argument put forth by a new lawsuit against Ubisoft, filed by two Californian players ofThe Crew....

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 patch adds a new weapon, plus some tweaks for the existing arsenal

The Neo-Volkite pistol I, personally, was promised “Where’s my Neo-Volkite pistol,Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2?” was my perhaps slightly ungrateful reaction upon booting theactiongame up afterthe previous patch. “I didn’t even know what a Neo-Volkite pistol was until five minutes ago, but now this whole game is trash until I get one!.” As promised in theroadmap, the last big update added a whole new Operations map, complete with a gargantuan new pseudo-boss in the form of a hierophant bio-titan....

Great God Grove review: play mail carrier and god wrangler in this wonderfully weird puzzle adventure

Put a stop to the A-POCKY-LIPS Great God Groveis, in a word, bonkers. I’ve stopped a small community from completing a blood ritual, played the role of matchmaker to a group of lonely hearts that involved organising a date with god, and plastered a statue with paint as part of a revolutionary movement to uplift the power of art. My time with GGG has been a pick n’ mix of colourful escapades, and together with its story of godly woes, striking art style, vacuum-based puzzle-solving, and nightmare-inducing puppet work, I’m now a die-hard LimboLane devotee....

Halo's most disgusting enemy was partly inspired by a children's book

A flood of anecdotes Although Robert was a weapons designer, for instance, he was also made responsible for coming up with concept art for the Flood. And he particularly remembers creating the infection form of the creature (the little creepy bug-bois that burst and infect their victims with spores). The first concept “looked like a cross between a house centipede and a blood sausage,” he told Rolling Stone. “That was disgusting, but didn’t look very mobile....
