You ever wish you could go back to those simpler times? Do you ever sit on your couch, eating Memberberries who ask you if you ‘member The Legend of Zelda and other games that didn’t nickle and dime you? Well Apple wants to go back to those days, as the tech giant held an event last night where they detailed plenty of stuff. Like an Apple credit card and another streaming service, but also more importantly, their own upcoming gaming subscription service.

Nintendo might be ready to unveil a system that will feature “enhanced” systems that are aimed at “avid” gamers.

As a first step towards a future of more live service content, The Division 2 already feels amazingly complete. It works from day one, its various systems are staggeringly deep and its combat is in a class of its own. Everything else that’s still to come over the next couple of years? That’s a satisfying cherry on top of an already massive sundae of excellence.

While plenty of video games aim to be as neutral as possible in their approach to avoid losing revenue, Vampire The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is going in the opposite direction.

Mortal Kombat the movie would have been poorer without actor Cary-HiroyukiTagawa’s presence as Shang Tsung, and now the next Mortal Kombat game is preparing to enrich itself with his addition to the roster.

Is there anything more reliable than a shotgun? It’s the jackhammer of video game weapons, able to carve a path forward with sheer brute force and always satisfying to load another round into its chamber with a satisfying pump of the barrel. In The Division 2, you’ll find plenty of these valuable corrider-cleaners, with the very best shotgun being the Exotic Sweet Dreams.

There’s no shortage of sidearms in The Division 2, but with all manner of SMGs, light machine guns and shotguns available to grab in the ruined streets of Washington DC, these little lifesavers and life-takers are often neglected. The Liberty Desert Eagle on the other hand, is a hell of a gun. With eight rounds and an RPM of 150 it might not sound like much, but it is able to unleash upwards of 30 000 damage in Tier 4 of The Division 2, which is holy smokes a lot for a sidearm.

I’m a big fan of SMGs in The Division 2. They’re nippy, able to offer quick reloads and more than capable of taking down a single enemy before you’ve spent every round in the magazine. Favouring an aggressive playstyle, they’re perfect for the type of player who enjoys closing a gap and getting up close and personal with their prey. One of the more agile SMGs that you can find in The Division 2? Easily the Exotic Chatterbox, which has a staggering 60 bullet magazine and a 700 RPM stat that will absolutely shred anything in front of you.
