I've put an embarrassing number of hours into Black Ops 7, and it's a strange mix of "yep, this is Treyarch" and "hang on, what's going on here." The shooting feels sharp, sliding and mantling flow nicely, and the menu is packed. Campaign's got that blockbuster pace with near-future kit, multiplayer still turns into sweat-fests within minutes, and Zombies is the real time-sink. If you're the...

You can feel the mood shifting around POE2 right now, and not in the usual "copium" way. People are tired of the Temple loop, sure, but what's coming reads like the devs finally get why players bounce off: you mess up once, you lose time, and you learn nothing. If you've been juggling builds or trying to keep up with friends, this patch cycle looks like it's aiming at friction first, not hype....

Mana in PoE2 right now doesn't feel like a resource, it feels like a leash. You step into a nasty boss arena, your casts start to ramp, and then—empty. No Dash, no emergency play, just that awful half-second where you know you're cooked. Arcane Surge is the thing that stops that spiral, but it also asks you to build around it. And if you're trying to get set up quickly for endgame or a...

We are barely a few days into 2026 and ARC Raiders already feels different, especially if you are trying to buy Raider Tokens and squeeze everything out of the new Trials rotation. This first weekly window from January 5 to 12 pushes you into odd little objectives instead of just raw kill counts. You are tagging Snitches, hunting down Bastions, and yes, lobbing snowballs at them while trying...

Battlefield 6 is moving into 2026 in a way that feels surprisingly fresh, and a lot of that comes down to how the devs are finally reading the room and the data instead of just firefighting bugs, so if you want to warm up or mess around with builds before jumping into sweaty lobbies, grabbing a few games in a Battlefield 6 Bot Lobby buy setup can actually help you feel out the new pacing before...

Ripping open a new Pokémon booster still hits the same, but the real bonus is that little code card people ignore. If you're playing online, those codes are basically free packs, decks, and cosmetics you'd otherwise pay for. I keep a small stack by my desk and knock them out when I'm waiting for a match to queue, especially if I'm also hunting Pokemon TCG Pocket item cards and want my...

December 9 hit and Update 1.1.3.0 didn't just "refresh" Battlefield 6, it changed how I play it, especially once I started chasing challenges and Battlefield 6 Boosting guides to keep my loadouts competitive without wasting whole evenings. The new Ice Lock Empire State map feels like it's actively trying to kill you. Not with bullets at first, either. You spawn in, you take a few steps, and you...

That first moment when you lift off in a Battlefield 6 attack chopper just hits different. Your heart goes up with the rotors, and if you are in a half-decent lobby or even a Battlefield 6 Bot Lobby, you feel like you own the map. Then you clip a crane, overcook a strafe, and slam straight into the ground. After way too many late nights on big maps like Liberation Peak, it’s pretty clear...

Since Path of Exile 2 went live, I’ve honestly lost track of time. Early access alone has eaten hundreds of hours because the combat just clicks in a way few ARPGs do, and messing with the skill tree feels like it was built for people who live for theorycrafting. Even patch 0.3.1, sorting out those tablet and map headaches, showed that GGG is listening to feedback. But after many late...

In Arc Raiders, hanging back and playing safe usually means you leave with nothing. If you want those top-tier drops, you’ve gotta push hard and force the action. It’s not about charging blindly, it’s about making smart, aggressive plays. Your loadout sets the stage, so drop the bulky shields – they’ll only slow you down. Go for a medium or light shield, then pair...
