PC Gaming Weekend November 3

It’s alright, you can come out now – the spooky part of the year is over. Now we march relentlessly on through the winter.

Play Call of Duty: WWII to see if it recaptures the golden years of the series

Its arrival every year is as certain as there will be Christmas. Yes, a new Call of Duty game has landed, and this time it’s not sending us forward in time, but backwards. If you loved Call of Duty ten years ago then you should love this return to World War II.

Get stuck in the slop and feel the joy of winching yourself out in Spintires: MudRunner
