We’ve already seen one miraculous CS:GO play recently, in which a player killed an entire enemy team with an incredible, one-in-a-million shot. Now, the Counter-Strike gods have intervened again, with a player surviving a dramatic 4-v-1 clutch all thanks to the bomb.

As reported by Dot Esports, it all happened in the final moments of a CS:GO match recorded by Reddit user Few_Willingness_3700. His Counter-Terrorist team were winning the match 15 rounds to 14. But the climactic round starts disastrously for the CTs, as all Willingness’ teammates are eliminated by the terrorists.

When the clip begins, Willingness is all alone and hunkered down in a corner on B site Inferno. They sit and wait until three of the four terrorists are in close range, unaware of Willingness’…

When Intel returned to the discrete graphics card market last year, it promised that the Arc GPU drivers would improve over time. And true to its word, that’s exactly what’s happened, with regular updates appearing to massively improve frame rates in older games. But I don’t think anything will top the one of the claims in the latest set of beta drivers.

Released yesterday, the new version of Alchemist drivers is said to provide up to 54% more performance in Returnal, at 1080p with ‘epic’ ray tracing enabled. That’s a healthy boost and it’s not the only game that’s been given a wave of the coding magic wand. Guild Wars 2 players might see 53% more fps at 1080p, with Ultra settings, and if you’re a fan of Yakuza Zero, then an extra 154% performance (again, at 1080p ultra graphics) …

Helldivers 2 is by far the best co-op shooter at the moment, certainly in terms of the sheer amount of fun it is. If you’ve already been enjoying it, you’ll know just how fast and frantic the battles can get. Having a clunky old mouse won’t help matters, so if you’ve been looking to upgrade your rodent, then you probably won’t need to look any further than the Logitech G502 Hero.

It’s been part of Logitech’s mouse roster for years and it’s barely changed over time. When we reviewed the G502 Hero in 2021, we highly rated its flawless performance, thanks to the 25,600 DPI sensor and the 1,000 Hz polling rate. You’ll certainly have zero issues regarding precision and accuracy.

The G502 Hero isn’t super light but it still effortlessly glides across any surface, due to the large …

Airship Syndicate announced today that it has “reached an agreement with Digital Extremes to begin the transfer of the MMO action-RPG Wayfinder to Airship in earnest,” and that as the first step toward resurrecting the game, it has halted sales while it finalizes plans for what comes next.

Wayfinder looked very promising when we previewed it in 2023, but it was brought low by server troubles at launch resulting in hours-long queues, failed connections, and disconnections during gameplay. Combined with complaints about steep pricing on in-game items, it quickly added up to a “mostly negative” rating on Steam. 

Things got worse for developer Airship Syndicate a few months later when publisher Digital Extremes eliminated its external publishing wing. DE said it would trans…
