The end is here with the cataclysmic conclusion to the “Gates of Oblivion” year-long adventure. Players must explore uncharted lands, meet strange new allies, and foil Dagon’s plans to rule Nirn in this action-packed 20-hour finale. The DLC delivers new missions that are unlocked by completing storylines in both the Deadlands DLC and Blackwood Chapter.

Those who’ve played The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will recognize some parts of the Deadlands from the BGS classic, but captivating new regions also await in The Burn, The Sever, and the desert metropolis known as Fargrave.

Players can acquire the free Armory Station furnishing item from the Crown Store and place it in any of their homes, to be able to save, load or customize their characters’ unique builds.

The Deadlands game pack is available for purchase through the in-game Crown Store and is included at no charge for ESO Plus subscribers. The new DLC is available now on PC / MAC, and will launch on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 on November 16th, 2021.

Acer has expanded its line of Predator gaming monitors with three new VESA Display HDR-Certified models – the Predator CG437K S, Predator X38 Sand Predator X28.

The new monitors target different niches by offering something that will excite a wide variety of gamers, whether weekend warrior or seasoned professional.

Predator CG437K S The Predator CG437K S is a massive 42.5-inch NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible gaming monitor with a UHD (3840×2160)display that strives to provide players with the most flexible experience possible, containing a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports that support the latest game consoles and allow for 4K 144 Hz with VRR using only a single cable. A USB hub offers a USB-B port, a pair of both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports to support an array of peripherals, plus a USB Type-C (PD30W) port for good measure.

Additionally, a built-in KVM switch simplifies the lives of those who juggle multiple PCs.

Once users are all set up, the monitor’s 144 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms VRB response time provides satisfying gameplay.

The monitor’s VESA Display HDR 1000 Certification ensures that games look excellent for enthusiasts and that footage appears true-to-life for content creators. Outstanding local-dimming, peak 1,000nits brightness and high contrast ratios help all of the details come to life, while the monitor’s Delta E<1 rating and 90% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut provide highly accurate colour representation.

Completing the experience, NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatibility keeps the monitor and GPU in lockstep, allowing for buttery-smooth gameplay with no stutters or tearing.

A monitor that makes statements, the Predator CG437K S comes with RGB lighting strips that can be synced to music and media.

It also features a range of thoughtful technology that allows the monitor to adjust to each user’s environment:
Acer ColorSense adjusts the screen’s temperature to match the ambience of the environment, Acer LightSense detects ambient lighting and adjusts the monitor’s brightness settings accordingly, and Acer ProxiSense automatically wakes the monitor when users are nearby or dims it when they aren’t.

The Predator X38 S is a 2300R curved UWQHD+ (3840×1600) monitor boasting a DCI-P3 98% wide colour gamut, Delta E<2 rating and VESA Display HDR 600 Certification, qualifications that allow for breathtakingly realistic images.

Bright scenes glimmer while dark ones retain the rich shades of black that make little details and hidden enemies pop out, even when shrouded in shadows.

A 175 Hz refresh rate (overclocked) and response time as low as a 0.3 ms G-to-G let players jump right into the action without worrying about ghosting, while the display’s 37.5-inch Agile-Splendor IPS display ensures that everything looks great, even at wide viewing angles.

Predator Game Mode offers players eight pre-set (customisable) display modes to suit different genres of content, while Acer LightSense and Acer ColorSense make automatic adjustments to screen brightness and colour temperature based on the environment.

NVIDIA G-SYNC Esports Mode is a display pre-set designed for competitive gaming that ensures the lowest possible latency by turning off variable backlight and makes it easier to distinguish objects in dark areas by increasing black levels and fine-tuning gamma levels.

The Predator X38 S also includes the NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer, a revolutionary system latency measurement tool that detects clicks coming from the mouse and then measures the time it takes for the resulting pixels (i.e. a gun muzzle flash) to change on screen, while NVIDIA G-SYNC ULTIMATE enables smooth, fast-paced gameplay by eliminating screen tearing, minimising display stutter and cutting down on input lag.

The Predator X28 is a 28-inch UHD (3840×2160) monitor defined by a slim profile and narrow bezels that give it a refreshingly clean look.

Its VESA DisplayHDR400 Certified Agile-Splendor IPS display offers a 155 Hz refresh rate (overclocked) with a 1 ms G-to-G response time, all super smooth thanks to NVIDIA G-SYNC and G-SYNC Esports Mode.
The monitor also features the NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer.

Acer LightSense, ColorSense and ProxiSense ensure that the monitor always look as good as possible, in any lighting.

To offer a more comfortable viewing experience, Blue Light Shield Pro manages high-energy wave lengths in order to selectively filter out blue light emissions while maintaining Delta E<1 colour accuracy.

The Predator X28 is a TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe certified gaming monitor.

The Predator CG437K Swill be available will be available from November 2021. The Predator X38 Swill be available will be available from September 2021, and the Predator X28will be available from October 2021.

Mutants, giants, beasties and more.

All are gunning for you a demon who has awoken to find himself trapped inside a ball.

Luckily a ball with limbs.

WarriOrb is a modern skinned retro-esque platformer from developers Not Yet and it’s one hell of a devilish game.

The story goes, apart from the fact you are a demon in a ball body, that you make a deal to find three artifacts and in turn you can return to your former glory.

But getting these three artifacts is not a simple adventure by any means.

Ramp up the difficulty level times 10 in places you’ll find yourself traversing 2.5D Levels solving environmental puzzles and smacking the, er, living daylights out of baddies and bosses.

WarriOrb is a game that does not take itself seriously. It knows what it is and it’s that humor aswell as the super addictive gameplay that keeps you moving.

Reviewed (and released) on PC, I do recommend using a controlpad to play if you have one.

The reminiscent jaunt down memory lane to those platformers played back in the glory days of cartridge, WarriOrb is not just a chillout title to play inbetween your first person shooters, it’s a game totally worth crunching and grinding through on it’s own.

Have a laugh at the light hearted narrative all the while clenching and sweating as you melee your way through.

WarriOrb. Loved it.
