This has been a busy period for DLC drops, with expansions and updates that cater to very different audiences. From the story-driven continuation of Stormgate in Ashes of Earth to Indiana Jones’ latest puzzle-laden detour in The Order of Giants, players looking for more narrative content have plenty to dive into. Meanwhile, Space Marine 2 doubles down on its community identity with a cosmetic-heavy Season Pass, and Rally Arcade Classics sharpens its retro racing formula with the Precision & Chase update. Together, these releases highlight how DLC can serve very different roles – sometimes extending the story, sometimes polishing the core gameplay, and sometimes just letting fans show off their favorite faction colours – here’s a closer look at all four.

HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Pro 4K review
The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Pro 4K Wireless is the company’s most ambitious mouse yet, marking its entry into the ultra-high polling rate space. At its core, it’s designed to satisfy competitive players who demand every ounce of speed and precision, boasting an adjustable polling rate that scales up to 4000 Hz. That means it reports its position to your PC four times per millisecond, offering smoother tracking and quicker responsiveness than the more common 1000 Hz standard. While the leap to 4K polling won’t make every gamer instantly better, it does make for a more consistent, snappy feel – particularly in fast-paced shooters where tracking micro-adjustments is critical for demanding and competitive players.

NHL 26 review
The NHL franchise has had its ups and downs over the years, but with NHL 26, EA Sports seems determined to push the series into fresh territory. This year’s entry builds heavily on the ICE-Q 2.0 system, which draws from real-world NHL EDGE data to make players feel more authentic on the ice. Superstars stand out in a way that goes beyond stats, with new animations and playstyle tendencies that add personality to how they perform. It’s a welcome step forward, especially for fans who’ve long felt that the series didn’t fully capture the individuality of top-tier athletes. Continue reading “NHL 26 review”
Metal Eden review (PS5)
Reikon Games’ Metal Eden, published by Deep Silver, wears its inspirations proudly on its armored sleeve. At first glance, it recalls the pulse-pounding intensity of DOOM, but within minutes it becomes clear that this isn’t a mere copycat. The game drops you into the role of ASKA, a Hyper Unit deployed into Moebius, a towering megacity that was once a beacon of hope but now brims with corrupted defenses and hostile machines. While the premise may sound familiar to fans of dystopian sci-fi shooters, the execution blends brutalist aesthetics, cybernetic warfare, and a touch of mystery that gives the narrative its own identity.

NBA 2K26 review (PS5)
NBA 2K26 on PlayStation 5 continues Visual Concepts’ yearly tradition of refining and expanding one of the most successful sports franchises in gaming. Published by 2K, this latest entry makes its pitch around the ProPLAY technology, which translates actual NBA footage into on-court animations and movements. That promise of greater realism is immediately noticeable in the fluidity of dribbles, crossovers, and player spacing, giving matches a more authentic rhythm. It’s a strong foundation that helps the game feel alive, even if not every aspect of the package is equally polished. Continue reading “NBA 2K26 review (PS5)”
