ORIGINAL ARTICLE Electronic Arts has revealed that Battlefield V’s Grand Operations mode will not be available when the game launches this October.

While PC gamers generally opt for a mouse and keyboard, millions of us also pick up a controller from time to time - and for good reason. In open-world games like Horizon Zero Dawn, controllers can offer a more comfortable way to play for long periods, while in racing titles like Forza Horizon 5 a gamepad can offer fine-grained analogue controls to steer around corners. If you fancy a little local co-op, plugging in a controller is a great way to do that too....

The advent of the internet has done some amazing things for gaming. It lets us play games with our friends without the need to cut our screens in half, it lets those same friends play together even when they’re separated by hundreds of miles, and best of all, it lets us buy games anywhere, anytime. If you’re looking to buy games online there are a few places you should know about....

Shooters are simply enormously popular, and with good reason - they provide action-packed spectacles for gamers to enjoy, whether they use an over-the-shoulder perspective or a first-person viewpoint, and often they tell interesting stories while doing so. The PS4 has seen countless shooters release over the course of its lifespan, and more continue to come out all the time, but we’ve whittled them down to a shortlist of the very best ones....

This Billions review contains spoilers. Billions Season 4, Episode 12 Not only is Billions coming back for a fifth season, but co-creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien have signed a new overall deal with Showtime. This is great news for the pair, as it means they’ll have the creative freedom to create new, thrilling television for our seemingly unending age of “Peak TV.” It’s also good because, although we already knew that more Billions was on the way, now it’s practically guaranteed....

It’s not been a good day for Overwatch 2. After Bastion and Torbjorn were taken offline due to a bug affecting their ult and abilities, players have reported getting locked out of a third of the character roster even though they’re not undergoing the First Time User Experience. To make matters worse, Blizzard has since reported that they’re currently experiencing another DDoS attack, which will result in higher latency issues and more frequent disconnects in the meantime....

The launch of Overwatch 2 has been a tumultuous one, with plenty of server errors and awful queue times plaguing the experience. Not only that, but the new SMS Protect feature has been a source of huge controversy as well, as players with pre-paid phone plans were unable to bind their accounts to their number. Blizzard has since published a new update on the status of Overwatch 2’s launch, with the headline being that they’ll be removing the phone number requirement for most Overwatch 2 players and Battle....

Just two days remain until Borderlands 3 launches and brings an end to the long five years fans have waited for the series to return. With its launch will come dozens of hours of fresh content, including a roughly 35-hour campaign. But Gearbox won’t stop there. More content will be added to the game in the coming months, and players will be able to get easy access to it with the Borderlands 3 Season Pass....

Key Points: William Borland and Herman Hoffman worked together to produce this machine and patent. This early machine utilized levers and springs to calculate. Similar to some other inventors, Hoffman had experience as a clockmaker. History of Computers and Computing, Calculating tools, Gadgets, Borland and Hoffmann adding machine.

Since the preorders went live last week, it’s been nigh on impossible to pre-order from any retailer. GAME even took the steps of raising its deposit requirements when the level of demand became apparent. If stocks continue to be this limited, this console will be sold for silly money on the likes of eBay, just like the the Mini NES. Supply is low, demand is high. And deters scalpers. — GAME Scunthorpe (@GAMEScunthorpe) June 27, 2017...

It would appear that the metaphorical cat is out of the bag regarding the AMD Radeon 6700 non-XT graphics card. Following a leak earlier today, Sapphire decided to officially list its latest model using the RDNA 2 architecture. This non-XT variant, which also oddly lacks the “RX” branding, will slot in somewhere between the existing 6650 XT and the 6700 XT in AMD’s current graphics card lineup. Oddly enough, AMD itself has yet to officially announce this model....

Today marks the release of the first-ever set exclusive to Magic: The Gathering Arena, Amonkhet Remastered. With Standard rotating in a month, many people weren’t expecting new stuff for Magic anytime soon. However, lo and behold, we have a new set today. As the name implies, the set is a remaster of the two most recent Egypt-themed sets to leave Standard, Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation. The lore of both sets is also placed in the realm of a fan-favorite character, the Dragon God, Nicol Bolas....

Animal Crossing is one of those special, long-running franchises that, over the course of almost twenty years, hasn’t changed fundamentally at all. All of the mainline games, including the just-released Animal Crossing: New Horizons, are simple but addictive social sims tied to their respective console’s internal clock, changing the content of the game depending on the time of day, month, and year. It’s a winning formula that’s endured the test of time and doesn’t show signs of slowing down–New Horizons is as irresistible, cute, and all-consuming as any of its predecessors and is a testament to the brilliance of Katsuya Eguchi’s original idea....

Few studios have more passionate fans than BioWare’s, most of whom fell into their fandom because of Mass Effect and, to perhaps a lesser extent, Dragon Age. Anthem, the Canadian studio’s anticipated new IP, has engendered trepidation among a number of fans due to the lukewarm critical reception to Mass Effect: Andromeda and the fact that, in early trailers, Anthem appeared to be an action-based game that wouldn’t offer the same interpersonal, dialogue-driven intrigue the studio has become known and lauded for since the days of Baldur’s Gate and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic....

Battle royale shooter Apex Legends has shown off the Storm Point map in a new trailer for the upcoming Escape season. Further details on the Apex Legends blog reveal that Storm Point is a former IMC research base. It’s the game’s biggest map so far, and about 15% larger than World’s Edge. To help players get around, new Gravity Cannons will fling players across vast expanses of the map, replacing the redeploy balloons....

As Dusk Falls on Xbox Series X The narrative-driven, decision-based experience has been a fairly popular one ever since Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead series blew players away with its agonizing choices, engaging story, and lovable characters that could be mauled to death by zombies with one poorly-thought-out action. Since then, many have attempted to emulate it, with the Life Is Strange series largely standing as the pinnacle of what the genre has to offer....
