The best gaming routers now deliver better than ever before. With Wi-Fi 6 here, the promise is for network speeds of up to 6 Gbps, able to keep up with the latest in faster internet speeds. While many ISP’s offer a router, their rental fees get expensive over the longer term, and for the best gaming experience, it is a more effective solution to upgrade, go on your own and get one of the best gaming routers. Before purchase, it is critically important to get up to speed on the differences between routers. In order to do that, check out the specs of the different models. A crucial spec is the type of Wi-Fi used in the model. The last generation was 802.11ac, which is being replaced by the 802.11ax standard. Confused yet? Well, it gets worse as the Wi-Fi Alliance tried to simplify this by designating 802.11ac as Wi-Fi 5, and also 802.11ax as Wi-Fi 6. As Wi-Fi 6 is the latest wireless standard, you’ll need to purchase one of the best gaming routers (and a new one at that) to enjoy … [Read more...] about The best gaming routers for PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox 2021

South American regions are made up of over 400 million people and encompass a variety of cultures and contrasting scenery. Yet, their depiction in videogames is often monolithic. Flores, the latest operator to join the Rainbow Six Siege roster, was born and lived most of his life in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which also happens to be my hometown. But if I hadn’t read his bio, I couldn’t tell he’s from my country at all. My first impression of Flores was sour. Nothing about his appearance felt familiar, with a fashion sense closer to a spy from a Spanish flick than a local of my home. Some details of Flores’ background indicate a glimmer of research, such as accurate location names, but his voice is all wrong. His accent couldn't be further from your average Argentinian. This sets a poor foundation for Siege's first crack at Argentinian representation. Argentina is rarely chosen as a videogame location, but there have been some examples in the past. A mission in Call of Duty: … [Read more...] about Rainbow Six Siege’s first Argentinian operator doesn’t do my home justice

If you can ignore the story, It Takes Two has some of the best co-op gameplay in years. I almost turned it off. Genuinely, after 10 minutes, I'd had enough. A story about a girl's divorcing parents who are magically shrunk so they can go on an adventure together, and in doing so work out their differences and get back together? Do me a favour. People divorce and families move on. It's a normal part of life and shouldn't be construed as anything but. Are children supposed to play this and believe their parents could have rescued their relationship? Are divorced parents supposed to play it and feel bad? It's a dangerous idea to play with and I wish It Takes Two hadn't. Moreover, the story is excruciatingly told. Your daughter finds a book about love at school, and it manifests as some all-powerful, passionate latin love guru, an over-the-top love therapist for shrunken Mum and Dad. All they - you - need to do is to learn to work together again! Rediscover your passion! Hhhhrrr … [Read more...] about It Takes Two review – delightful co-op tainted by an irritating story

Positive Influence This article first appeared in PC Gamer magazine issue 353 in February 2021, as part of our 'Positive Influence' series, where every month we chat to a different developer about the inspirations and unexpected connections behind their work. Like all British fairy tales, the story of Overcooked begins at Cambridge Wizard School. Or at least that's what Ghost Town Games programmer Oli DeVine calls it, with a knowing wink to the absurdity of the ancient UK education system. Officially known as Cambridge University, it taught him two things: first, that he didn't want to be an academic. And second, that local co-op wasn't dead. "University can be quite an isolating experience," DeVine says. "The thing that got me through it was having people round and playing videogames in my room, or going home and playing with my brothers." At the time, the games industry had largely turned its back on shared screen experiences, necessitating complex setups with … [Read more...] about How Overcooked’s tiny team took over our living rooms
