The Best Broadband for Gaming in the UK

There are over 35 million gamers in the UK, and that figure continues to rise year-on-year. Whether you’re playing FIFA, Call of Duty, or Red Dead Redemption, a fast and reliable internet connection is more important than ever when it comes to video games.

Lag and stuttering while gaming can be frustrating, so we recommend taking all the right precautions to ensure you’re set up with the perfect broadband package. With games getting more powerful, and 30GB day-one patches becoming normality, it’s even more important to ensure your download speeds are up to the task.

ADSL and standard fibre packages (11 – 36Mbps) will do an OK job, but these plans can lack the upload speed and consistency required to achieve uninterrupted online gaming. Larger homes with plenty of electronic devices should definitely consider the top superfast packages (50 – 90Mbps) or even an ultrafast plan if your home is eligible.

Everything That’s Different In The Last Of Us Part 2 From The Original

Allies Are More Helpful

Enemies are smarter in Part 2, but so are your allies. Of the two levels we played, the first featured Ellie on patrol with love interest Dina, and the pair worked together to clear out infected from an abandoned town. Where 14-year-old Ellie could contribute in a battle in The Last of Us but mostly stayed out of the way, Dina is a more active fighter who’s capable of executing her own silent takedowns of enemies. Newman also said Dina will contribute in a battle with her gun, and her bullets do as much damage as Ellie’s (unlike the shots of your pals in, say, Uncharted 4). You can use allies’ help to your strategic advantage, too–if Dina puts a few shots into a runner infected while you’re watching, for instance, you’ll know you will only need one or two more shots of your own to finish it off.

Destiny 2: New Light Offers A Staggering Amount Of Free Content

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

If you’re contemplating jumping into Destiny 2, now is a great time to do so. Bungie has announced everything that comes free in New Light–a free-to-play version of the game. There’s a lot there; it’s pretty much everything minus the post-Year 1 raids, Exotic quests, and Forsaken campaign.

In a tweet, Bungie reveals New Light will put you at a starting Power level of 750 and open up all free roam destinations right from the get-go. In terms of weapons and armor, you’ll have all exotics from Year 1. New Light also includes The Red War, Curse of Osiris, and Warmind campaigns, as well as the Black Armory Forges, Gambit Prime, and The Menagerie. All the Nightfall Strikes from Year 1 are packaged into New Light too. You can also get all the ranks and rewards tied to seasonal events.

On Twitter, Bungie has clarified several of the possible discrepancies that New Light seemingly creates. Specifically, even though it’s not listed, New Light does actually come with The Reckoning as well, allowing you to farm for the Gambit Prime armor. Also, though completing activities like the Black Armory Forges and The Menagerie will still net you their respective rewards, the Exotics tied to them are not available for New Light players.

💠 The Reckoning is included.

💠 Thunderlord, Arbalest, Outbreak Perfected, and Bad Juju are the Y2 Exotics available with New Light.

💠 Rewards from activities above are included with New Light EXCEPT associated Exotics.

💠 Forsaken subclasses are not available in New Light.

All players, whether veteran or newcomer, should do a few things before Destiny 2: Year 2 comes to an end. You don’t want to go into Year 3 with excessive baggage nor do you want to end your time in Year 2 without acquiring certain items. There are a few quests you should finish mopping up, for instance, and stockpiling on Bright Dust is a pretty good idea. When Year 3 begins, it will introduce the standalone Shadowkeep expansion as well as a reworked version of the moon location from the first Destiny. Expect tougher Nightfalls, but much better rewards. Be sure you’re ready.

Destiny 2 is available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

PT Hack Reveals Terrifying Unused Secret

YouTuber Lance McDonald is arguably the internet’s greatest P.T. detective, but their last discovery from Hideo Kojima’s Playable Teaser for Silent Hills might be the creepiest yet. An unused version of P.T.’s bathroom area may hint at just how far P.T. could have gone to scare players.

Spoilers Ahead

In P.T. players are trapped in an unassuming home, forced to make laps around the same hallway over and over again. After a while, players can gain access to another part of the hallway, the bathroom. As McDonald explains in his YouTube video, there are two “states” the bathroom can be found in, a version where the bathtub is partially filled with water, and a version where the bathtub is empty.

Jurassic World 3: Jeff Goldblum Is ‘Happy as a Clam-asaurus’ To Return

New Star Wars Toy Reveals Key Detail for Mandalorian Character

Potential light spoilers for The Mandalorian ahead.

During the Triple Force Friday preview, it was revealed that Gina Carano’s character in The Mandalorian, Cara Dune, would be receiving a Funko Pop!. While that in itself is not that surprising, what was surprising was the Rebel Alliance Starbird tattoo that appears on her left cheek.

When we first learned about Cara Dune’s past, it was announced that she was an ex-Rebel Alliance shock trooper who is having a tough time returning to civilian life after the Galactic Civil War came to an end.

The Last of Us Part 2 Director on How Dogs Fill Combat With Tough Choices

The Last of Us Part 2 introduces several new mechanics and ideas to its combat system, perhaps most notably the inclusion of vicious attack dogs who have no qualms about hunting down Ellie. The question, for the player, then becomes, will you kill these dogs to survive?

Speaking to IGN at a recent The Last of Us Part 2 hands-on event, creative director Neil Druckmann told IGN about how the dogs add another level of morally difficult choice to combat.

“Dogs are…interesting in that…it feels pretty messed up to kill a dog, especially when you hear it yelp,” Druckmann said. “You’re left with this situation where, ‘OK do I want to ghost this whole setup,’ which, you don’t have to kill a single dog in this scenario

Creepshow Flashback: The Best (and Worst) of the ’80s Horror Movies

With the ’80s Creepshow horror anthology movie franchise being revived as a series by The Walking Dead’s Greg Nicotero – premiering Thursday, September 26 on Shudder – it’s the perfect time to revisit the two films in order to find out what made them such madcap macabre classics. (Read our review of Shudder’s Creepshow premiere here.)

Firstly, what was Creepshow? How did it differ from other ’80s-era scary story sagas like Tales From the Darkside and Tales From the Crypt? Well, to start with, all of these are based on the EC horror comics scene that rose up post-WW II and saw a huge boom in the ’50s and ’60s. Tales from the Crypt, complete with the CryptKeeper host character, was a comic book. An adaptation of Tales from the Crypt featuring a bunch of famous stars, directors, and producers became one of HBO’s first original scripted series in 1989.
