Iron Man in VR Is a Blast

Playing Marvel’s Iron Man VR is a bit like being Stark in the first MCU Iron Man film. As I got the hang of the velocity of my palm thrusters and how to arc my trajectory in the air, I overshot my landing point an embarrassing number of times, pushed myself in the wrong direction a couple times, and crashed into some walls, thankfully without any of the injuries Tony would actually suffer.

After my initial few minutes of rough flying, though, I found my flying footing with Camouflaj’s intriguing gameplay. And while I’m probably not quite ready for a spot on The Avengers, the amount of intuitive flying freedom Marvel’s Iron Man gives you makes for a surprisingly enjoyable ride in Stark’s shoes.

Cyberpunk 2077 Has No Game Over Screens for Failing a Mission

The only game over screen you’ll see in Cyberpunk 2077 is when you die. No matter how badly you mess up a mission’s objectives, there will always be a way to continue playing without having to reload from a checkpoint, provided you don’t die.

According to CD Projekt Red’s quest designer Philipp Webber, who recently spoke with German website GameStar, the development team approached mission design with an overarching question: "What is the stupidest thing that the player could do?". With this philosophy in mind, quests have been designed to allow all kinds of player behaviour, ensuring that the game never fails players for engaging in unconventional activities.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout Mode Is Free to Play This Month

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode is free to play for all of April.

Developer Treyarch has announced that the last-man-standing battle royale portion of the 2018 shooter will be free for everyone to play from 2-30 April.

If you’re playing on console you’ll need an active subscription to PSN or Xbox Live, but aside from that there’s no cost. Just download Black Ops 4 and the Blackout mode will be freely available.

The announcement comes hot on the heels of Treyarch revealing a brand new map for Blackout - Alcatraz - which also goes live today on PlayStation 4, and a little later on Xbox One and PC. If you’re curious about Alcatraz and its seemingly smaller-scale approach to battle royale (last we looked, Alcatraz was a prison, not a huge, multi-biome island), then a free month seems like the best way to satisfy your curiosity.
