….or spend £70 on the Palace edition Need For Speed Unboundtechnically isn’t out until December 2nd, but you can scoot in right now if you’ve got Game Pass and are willing to download EA’s app. It’s available as part of EA’s Game Trials, so you’ll only be able to play for 10 hours before you’re kicked out, but that’s time for cop chases and powerslides a-plenty. I haven’t played a Need For Speed game since I was 13 and this wasn’t on my radar at all, but yeah, sure, let’s drive....

This FTAC Recon loadout is seriously competitive in Warzone 2 right now Looking for the best FTAC Recon loadout in Warzone 2?Battle Rifles on the whole aren’t in the greatest of states right now inWarzone 2. Acting as a sort of mid-point between Assault Rifles and Marksman Rifles (which themselves are a hybrid of ARs and Snipers), a lot of Battle Rifles just don’t seem to pack the kind of punch needed to down enemies at competitive times in Warzone 2....

Here’s the best Lachmann-556 loadout in Warzone 2 Looking for the best Lachmann-556 loadout in Warzone 2?There are more than a few familiar faces hiding behind the unfamiliar weapon names ofWarzone 2. The Lachmann-556 may not seem particularly special at first, but when you realise that it is Warzone 2’s version of the Grau - one of the most infamously powerful rifles from the original Warzone - you might want to pay a bit more attention to its capabilities....

Turn the PDSW 528 into a hard-hitting close range monster Looking for the best PDSW 528 loadout in Warzone 2?SMGs aren’tquiteas prevalent in the loadouts and class setups ofWarzone 2as they are in the closer-quarters fights ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but they’re still very much part of the meta. Even the loweliest of SMGs can rip holes through an armoured enemy at close range, and while the PDSW 528 may not be the best SMG in Warzone 2, it’s certainly far from the worst....

If they don’t get the movie cast to stream this, I’ll be very disappointed Extermination is coming to Steam in early access, and it’ll support up to 12 players going after those pesky bugs. You’ll join up as part of the Deep Space Vanguard, the special forces embedded within the movie universe’s version of the human Mobile Infantry. As it’s a Starship Troopers game, you’ll get dropped onto a bug-riddled alien world to blast away at hundreds of the giant creepy-crawlies....

Devs with delisted games talk about the process But removed isn’t always the same as gone, and exploring Steam’s deleted items is an adventure through modern gaming history. I spoke to some developers of delisted games to find out more. You can see every game ever delisted from Steam atSteam Trackerwhich, at the time of writing, has over 3,800 entries, also including retail-only Steam keys and pre-order exclusives. That’s not including the games that have been banned from Steam, some 4,200 of which you can see using madjoki’sSteam Tools....

A great price for a PCIe 3.0 SSD of this size. The Crucial P3 has impressive specs that more or less max out the PCIe 3.0 connection, with maximums of around 3500MB/s sequential reads and 3000MB/s sequential writes. Random read and write speeds are also strong, at 650K and 700K IOPS respectively. In terms of metrics like game load times and OS boot times, you should expect excellent results, and that means it’s quite easy to recommend the P3 for most people....

A hex on both your houses Made by the Paris-based Game Source Studio, this turn-based strategy battler sees you take control of four types of samurai as you seek to bring balance to a mystical realm above the clouds. Oni, goblins and other creatures from Japanese myth are your primary antagonists here, but its hexagonal islands are also stuffed full of text-based narrative events, sidequests, and treasure troves to uncover. It’s a lot to take in, but the latter in particular are vital to your success....

Update 14 sees humanity at war with the enigmatic aliens It’s Tuesday, and the entire species is about to go to war with a powerful alien race. At least we are in space simElite Dangerousanyway, which sees the Thargoids finally invade human systems with the arrival of Update 14 for the game today. Eight massive space anomalies called Maelstroms are on their way towards human worlds, accompanied by massing Thargoid starships....

It’s out next week Far Crycontinues to take a liberal approach to its expansions with Lost Between Worlds. The DLC forFar Cry 6takes Dani Rojas, the protagonist from the base game’s daft revolutionary narrative, and traps her within a kaleidoscopic and extraterrestrial version of Yara. There you’ll need to work with an alien AI to collect crystals and defeat crystal people. It’s out on December 6th and you’ll find the first trailer below....

Know your history Having returned toWorld Of Warcraftafter many, many years away from Azeroth in our newInventory Spacevideo series, I’m taken aback by how disjointed the new player experience has become. Blizzard have streamlined the early game, sure, but in doing so they’ve made it almost impossible to pin down my sense of place in the world. As Blizzard carves out new space for new regions and races with each and every expansion, I wonder: has the game become too big?...

The Man Who Ran A Hostess Club For A Bit ‘Cabaret mini-game’ is somewhat misleading. These mostly optional segments in Yakuza games are about running what’s commonly called a hostess club. Male customers enter your bar and players have to match a hostess with them who will suit their temperament, ply them with compliments and drinks, and make profit for your club.
