Not that more commonly-used headset mics are insufficient – indeed, several of the best gaming headsets make it hard to tell the difference from a standalone condenser. But something I’ve often found when testing headsets is that the focus is very much on delivering good sound to the wearer, not whoever’s on the other end of the line. Switching microphone duties to something more dedicated will all but guarantee the elimination of fuzziness and muffling effects that can plague lower-quality headset mics....

On this page: Best M4A1 loadouts Best M4A1 Perks and Equipment How to unlock the M4A1 Best M4A1 loadout in Warzone I love the M4A1 as a go-to ranged powerhouse. You can get attachments out to massively beef up its range and recoil stability, but it’s also versatile enough to build as an SMG hybrid with the right kit. Honestly, the M4A1 is slept on and I’ll be doing my part to bring it back into the meta....

Red Dead’s modding scene lags a little bit behind GTAV’s. I’m still waiting for the public release of this lawman mod and for the online role-playing mods to get a little more mature before plunging in. To that end, all the mods below add to the experience of playing the game rather than the content, but I’ll always keep an eye on Red Dead 2’s modding scene, just in case something spectacular arrives....

The dirt roads that formed my memory of the game are a lot less prevalent in this footage. There’s a more industrial, urban feeling to the shadowy buildings that you never quite see, and the harsh, fluorescent lighting that forces its way through the smog. It shows a lot of driving and a lot of dying to large trucks that prowl the roads looking for you. And, like all good horror, the music is synthy and just as willing as the rest of the game to go off the beaten track....

The very last quest in the Shores Of Gold story is a Tall Tale by the same name. Shores Of Gold will take you to the northeast-most corner of the game map to complete multiple hours of puzzles, fights, and traps with your crew. The final fight against The Gold Hoarder is where this nasty bug can really knock you down a peg. If you die during your fight with the treasure-hoarding skeleton lord, there’s a chance that instead of respawning inside the same room you’ll be teleported to an entirely different area—the catacombs for the newly-added Hearts Of Fire quest....

I had some problems with Biomutant, which is a fun game trying to do too much, to the detriment of the things that it does well. But one thing that this does not extend to is the animation for swimming, which is the funniest and best animation in my recent memory for a couple of reasons.

Blizzard and NetEase have been in partnership in China since 2008. Zhu said he was “heartbroken” to see the deal with Blizzard end after he’d personally put 10,000 hours into WOW, StarCraft, and Overwatch. NetEase’s president then got a bit mysterious by adding that, eventually, devs and players will understand “how much damage a jerk can make”. Failing to clear up who he meant by that, Zhu ended his outburst by saying that he felt “terrible for players who lived in those worlds”....

Below we’ll walk you through the five different types of Blood Resonance in Bloodhunt, the effects that each one bestows upon you, and which are the best types of blood for each vampire type. We’ll also explain how to increase the number of Blood Resonance points you can obtain over the course of a match. On this page: Bloodhunt Blood Resonance types How to get more Resonance slots What is the best Blood Resonance type?...

The game knows it, too. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk lets you grind, flip, and spray your way across a futuristic city. The colourful cyberpunk world is built for skaters to traverse every surface while pulling ridiculous poses. Gravity barely acknowledges you as you attempt to tag high spots with your name and art. This isn’t just an act of expression, but of aggression. There are other skate gangs around, who’ll defend their territory....

Think Homeworld, but if you only had one ship and had to manually go make all the tiny space buds onboard turn on the engines and put out the fires. Like Bomber Crew before it, Space Crew has you hectically ferrying a small crew around a ship in an increasingly panicked attempt to make the whole thing work. This time you’re in space, and while there may be a lot less anti-air flak up there, there’s also a whole lot less air and infinitely more alien laser blasters....

Evil Genius has Dungeon Keeper-ish vibes, about building bases, forces, and elaborate traps while lousy ne’er-do-ills try to foil you. Except here it’s a spy-fi spoof, inspired by bases from films like You Only Live Twice. So yeah, a James Bond-y spy is one of the lousy jerks who’ll try to invade and foil your plan of eventually building a doomsday device. Our boy Brendy said in his Evil Genius 2 review that the game “is at its best when you’re building freely, designing perilous Rube Goldberg machines....

That walrus is named Elizabert Megafig, and she’s the one that’s invited you to this bizarre island to investigate the peculiar Bugsnax. Not everything is as it seems, however, because when you arrive, it turns out Megafig is missing, and even stranger things (than living strawberries than crawl around) appear to be afoot. One of your main tasks is to discover and capture all 100 species of Bugsnax, as well as explore the island to find out what happened to its inhabitants....

Here’s a trailer teasing its coming release: The aim is to look after your buildings and grow a community. If you can meet your building’s aspirations, they and your city’s population will grow, and the game will advance from the Victorian era through to the modern day. Fail your buildings and they’ll be demolished forever. It’s part puzzle game, as keeping buildings happy means rearranging them to find the perfect combination, but there’s a lot that seems familiar from traditional citybuilders....

Even though it’s inspired by another game’s popularity, it’s still neat to see something like CoD experiment like this. The team is let loose together to complete missions throughout levels (looks like defusing bombs). The three double agents have access to additional tech: gas mines, counter spy planes, combat bows, and attack helicopters, and are protected from the fallout from the dirty bombs they plant. The single investigator has a tough job....

Can you use split screen in Call of Duty Cold War? Split screen on console Can you play split screen in Call of Duty Cold War on PC? On PC, you can’t use split screen in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Sorry.
