Payday 2 has a new character to play as, totally free: Jimmy, played by one Sharlto Copley*. It’s all a tie-in with Hardcore Henry, the first-person action film that stars Copley and a bunch of other folks. Overkill has put together a neat little mini-site for Jimmy, where you can find out all about the...
There’s a hint to Evolve in the new Doom trailer, as it shows some of the demons you can play as in multiplayer. Oh, and the BFG. The powers you’ll be able to grab include the ability to turn into demons, invisibility, Quad Damage, power weapons like the BFG and chainsaw, and a Gauss Cannon...
The First World War multiplayer FPS Verdun has grown significantly with the release of the free Horrors of War expansion that brings night-time combat to the game in the Champagne region of France. There’s also a new Squad Defense co-op mode that pits groups of four players against attacking waves of AI enemies, more than...
The latest trailer for Deep Silver’s upcoming Red Dawn revival FPS Homefront: The Revolution takes a closer look at the game’s tools of the trade—“the trade” being shooting dudes, blowing things up, and getting away in one piece. Weapons are modular, meaning you’ll be able to customize them on the fly to best suit whatever...
If you’re looking for some free gaming for the weekend, Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault is now free on Origin as part of its “On the House” program. Pacific Assault is an older game—it came out in late 2004—but it earned largely positive reviews, even though we, according to Metacritic, said we liked Call of...
The Overwatch beta has undergone some big changes thanks to a “massive content patch” that rolled out today. The update adds a new Escort map called Route 66, and a “Weekly Brawl” play mode that rotates in new rules from Blizzard’s Custom Game system on a weekly basis. Taking inspiration from Hearthstone’s Tavern Brawls, Weekly...
April 13 will be a crucial opportunity for Battleborn to distinguish itself from the flurry of character-based shooters and MOBAs we’re weathering. Open beta has at last been dated, a week after Gearbox announced that development was as good as done. It’ll offer two of Battleborn’s three multiplayer modes (Incursion and Meltdown), all 25 release heroes and...
Last week we looked at how to defend on Dust2. This time we’ll talk about why Dust2 is an excellent map for split pushes, how to take control over the map and how to deal with different financial situations. Dust2 is a map that can be played in so many different ways. Mid doors, tunnels,...
Payday 2 is now available for SteamOS, which will come as good news for those of you packing a Steam Machine, or who intend to pick one up in the relatively near future. To celebrate the happy day, Overkill has put the game on sale for 75 percent off its regular price, dropping it to...
Black Ops 3’s Nuk3town map is going free for all players. Previously, the fan favourite was confined to a pre-order bonus, and, for UK boxed copies, a Game-exclusive pre-order bonus at that.
