Dead Space 2, the story so far

By Ryan Fleming Published December 22, 2010

The world of the Dead Space franchise continues to grow and expand. Beyond just the games, there are comics and a pair of animated movies that help to expand the mythology of the world that engineer Isaac Clarke finds himself trapped in. The history of the universe that Dead Space exists in is big, and it continues to grow.

In preparation for the upcoming sequel, EA and Visceral have released a trailer that explains the history that led up to Dead Space 2, including the events of the first game. If you have not played the first game, but are planning to before the release of Dead Space 2, then be warned- thar be spoilers here.

Look for Dead Space 2 on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on January 25.

Death Stranding 2: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and more

Sam Bridges walks on a ridge in front of the moon.

There were plenty of hints along the way, and even some leaks by the leading man himself, but it was only made official at the Game Awards 2022 that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is on its way. Coming from the same influential and creative mind as the original, as well as the Metal Gear franchise before it, Hideo Kojima introduced the game himself. Of course, nothing about Kojima's games are straight forward, and what was revealed about Death Stranding 2 probably raised more questions than it answered. We're strapping on our boots, connecting to our BBs, and are ready to make the trek to find out everything there is about Death Stranding 2.
Release date speculation

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach only has the wide release window of 2025.

Helldivers 2 just got some long-requested changes in its new patch

Players have been eagerly waiting for another Helldivers 2 update, and now it's here, bringing with it massive updates to Stratagems, the galactic map, lobbies, and more.

Patch 01.000.400 released on Thursday, and the patch notes are quite extensive. What most players will notice though are the balance changes to certain weaker Stratagems. For example, the Orbital Gatling Barrage got an increased fire rate, more rounds, increased armor penetration, and a decreased cooldown time. The MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun can now deal more projectile damage -- increased from 100 to 150 -- and decreased reload time, although it also got a slightly decreased fire rate.
