Booted from the arena To me Rocket Arena will always refer to a series ofQuakemods which stripped away hitscan weapons in favour of the acrobatic, splash damage purity of slow moving projectiles. The unrelated EA Originals' Rocket Arena did have mostly rockets as weaponry, but its unique feature was that damage would add up, rather than counting down your health, until you’d enter a critical state where one more hit would boot you from the arena and you had to rely on its third-person dodge movement to survive....

CEO discusses performance of Remnant 2 and Payday 3 Everybody’s favourite bulk-buyer of studios and licenses Embracer Group have announced that they’ve laid off 900 people over the last three months, as perrestructuring plans revealed this summer- around five percent of their total workforce.

From the makers of Patron Many grand strategy games let you hop from a map down to a battle layer where you can control a real-time scrap.Kaiserpunkis the first time I’ve seen a grand strategy game that lets you hop down instead to a citybuilding layer, where the construction of alternate history early-20th century industrial towns will determine whether you have the economic power to win the war. The focus is on “production management and logistics”, where how you build your cities determines what tech you unlock, in turn influencing the buildings available and the military machinery....

Here’s how to choose between Killstreaks or Scorestreaks for unlocking streak rewards in Modern Warfare 3 Should you use Killstreaks or Scorestreaks in Modern Warfare 3?InCall Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the ability to toggle between killstreaks and scorestreaks that unlock your streak rewards continues after its introduction in Modern Warfare 2.

A low pressure cleanse The ocean planet of GUP-14 is not a happy place. Its seabed has been gunked up with piles of trash, globs of purple gunge and nasty clouds of micro-plastics, all because an industrial megacorp couldn’t be bothered to clean up after themselves after bleeding it for resources. That megacorp’s since upped sticks to, sadly, continue their terrible ways somewhere else in the solar system, but calling out these bad practices (beyond them being obviously bad and not good for the planet) is not reallyLoddlenaut’s concern here....

Aside from those mentioned above, the DLC also includes the Holomax Theater from Back To The Future 2, where Marty is attacked by the holographic shark, and Doc’s Time Train from Back To The Future 3....

Still DC’s Destiny, but narrative context helps Warner Bros and Rocksteady have released the first of a series of development diaries for troubled comicbook schloot-me-doSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. And it looks… OK? The game’s fundamental conceptual hang-up remains - they’ve taken four DC supervillains with different powers that lend themselves to different kinds of story, and smurged them all into one biglive-servicey open world spaff ‘em up, strongly defined by guns....

Remedy play it safe In this episode of the Electronic Wireless Showpodcast, Nate and I put on some ill-fitting industry analyst hats to consider the current state of the free-to-play games market: a peculiar arena, one that that enriches some almost as often as it dooms others. It’s all proven just too dangerous forAlan Wake 2devs Remedy Entertainment, who’verebooted their upcoming F2P shooter Vanguardas a more traditional paid game. We later return to our core competences, in press release-speak, to talk about theSteam Deck OLEDand the games we’ve been playing this week....
