Radeon HD 7950 review | Eurogamer.net

As Nvidia continues to roll out its stack of second-generation Kepler graphics cards, we couldn't help but adjust our focus towards AMD and wonder what's going on in the red corner. To the best of our knowledge, we won't be seeing any new desktop GPU products from the firm until the latter end of the year, and in the meantime we're left with just the recently released £100/$140 effort, the rather decent Radeon HD 7790, and new editions of last year's offerings - the price/performance king being the HD 7950.

The new Need for Speed lets you play single-player offline

One of the issues players had with Ghost Games' 2015 Need for Speed reboot was that it was an always-online game. The decision sparked a lot of negativity from fans and, according to Martin's Need for Speed review, the whole thing didn't seem worth it in the end. "Indeed, Ghost Games seems at a loss as to how to make the most of that always online connection, and makes only half-hearted attempts to justify it," [Read More]

Tom Clancy's The Division 2 review - an accomplished sequel with an awful story

The Division 2 manages to improve upon the original formula in almost every way, but its tale and tone are frequently awful. There are a few things you can count on me to be embarrassed by on any given day - my beer gut, for example, or the time I called my teacher 'mum' when I was six. One of the things embarrassing me most at the moment is how much I like The Division 2, because it is a game that manages to be both great and repugnant. [Read More]
