     The best robot games on PC in 2022

What are the best robot games on PC? Strapping into an overpowered robot filled to the brim with rockets and lasers is a power fantasy as old as anime itself. Classic shows from the '80s and '90s - like Mobile Suit Gundam and Neon Genesis Evangelion - popularised the mecha anime genre.

Robot games have a robust history rich in a variety of genres, ensuring that there's an experience for every kind of mech fan. Fancy yourself a gearhead with a penchant for the micromanagement of mech parts and deliberate, laboured robo combat? How do you feel about fast-paced, anime-inspired Voltron-style action? Good news: there's a game for you.

We've compiled this list of the 11 best robot games available to play on PC and have taken special care to represent as many different genres as possible.

     How to get the Modern Warfare 2 Intervention

Will Modern Warfare 2 Intervention ever be released into the game? Perhaps the most adored sniper rifle in the entire Call of Duty series, Intervention has been spotted in the multiplayer game, but isn't officially unlockable, so what's going on? Iconic for its quick-scoping ability and frequent usage in overly produced YouTube montage clips, it seems like the FPS game reboot may be bringing back the popular gun.

There are over 50 Modern Warfare 2 guns, but it goes without saying the Intervention will quickly become a fan favourite once again if it's anywhere near as strong as it used to be. However, Intervention has so far only been found in the co-op Spec Ops mode menu, so here's what we know about how to get the Modern Warfare 2 Intervention.

     The best SP-R 208 loadout in Modern Warfare 2

We may not be back in the glory days of quickscoping, but we're getting pretty close to it with our best SP-R 208 loadout for Modern Warfare 2. While there are plenty of ways to trim the best sniper rifles in Modern Warfare 2 back to their barest forms, we're keeping the long-range scope on our build so it can be used effectively at all ranges. Unless we get a Kar-98k or something similar when the Season 1 release date rolls around, this is the best alternative in the FPS game right now.

So, exactly why are Modern Warfare 2 SP-R 208 loadouts so popular right now? The marksman rifle is one of the earliest you unlock in the game, but it's also mighty right out of the box: good iron sights, one-shot kill to the upper body at most ranges, and very fast aim down sight speeds for a bolt-action rifle. Provided you can land your shots, it's easily one of the best guns in Modern Warfare 2.

     Fastest VPN for maximum performance

When seeking to protect your privacy on the internet, it is reasonable to ask the question 'Which is the fastest VPN?' After all, while VPNs can help you to speed up your connection speeds by stopping your internet service providers from limiting your bandwidth, that benefit is rather nullified if the VPN itself has particularly slow download speeds.

So which is the fastest VPN? Well, to answer that question, it's best to look at the download speeds of the major VPN providers. This can be most easily quantified in megabits per second (Mbit/s).

However, one problem that we face in determining the fastest VPN is that, by their very nature, VPNs use a huge number of different servers, and different servers can be faster or slower than one another. Two people using the same VPN provider, for example, might experience different connection speeds because one of them uses a server in Japan, while another uses a server in Argentina. This happens with even the best VPN services, but rest assured that the speeds of the providers in this guide will put them among the best gaming VPNs.

Don't worry, though, the map still changes when Pyke ults enemy players. Collective sigh of relief.

     How to get gold in Modern Warfare 2

You need to know how to get gold in Modern Warfare 2 if you want to start working your way to all of the mastery camos in the FPS game. A lot of things work slightly differently in the latest Call of Duty title, including camo challenges, which is leading plenty of players to be confused on how to actually get gold guns. That's not helped by the fact that some players are finding that gold camo is not unlocking - even once the gold challenges have been completed.

Once upon a time, gold was the ultimate goal and if you could flaunt a gold weapon or two in the multiplayer game, you were the envy of all your friends. In Modern Warfare 2 however, gold is just the first of four high level camos, and it's actually considerably easier to achieve than before. Here's what you need to know about how to get gold in Modern Warfare 2.

     VPN deals: protect your privacy for less in 2022

As we enter Black Friday month, we've pick out a crop of the most appealing VPN deals. Many reputable VPN providers, such as Surfshark, PureVPN, NordVPN, and more have slashed the prices of their plans, with the cheapest deal working out as little as just $1 per month.

Grabbing a nifty VPN deal will grant you tonnes of neat privacy benefits at just a fraction of the usual cost. Not only do they make your internet connection more secure (which is valuable, but not exactly fun), they can also give you access to the region-exclusive features of various online services, and free you up from service provider induced bandwidth restrictions. It's nice to have two people streaming in the same house where both of them get to enjoy HD picture quality.

For your convenience, we've gathered together ten deals on some of the best VPN services for you to peruse. Every service is slightly different, so we've given a small overview of what each provider can give you, along with the details of the cheap VPN deals they're currently providing.

At least two more Marvel superhero games are coming from EA as part of a long-term deal with Marvel. We already knew about Motive Studios' single-player Iron Man action adventure game, announced in September, but the others are still just an amorphous blob of creativity that probably gives you the proportionate strength and speed of a badger on physical contact. The revelation that EA and Marvel are forging some kind of Marvel Gaming Universe may delight or frustrate you, depending on how fed up you are with the MCU.

sega super game

Sega predicts that its "Super Game" project will be able to deliver lifetime sales of at least 100 billion yen or about $672 million. If things go as Sega plans, then this Super Game will be on the market by March 2026. Not only does Sega believe that this game will generate an incredible profit, it also believes that it will have more active users than any Sega game to date. [Thanks, Game Developer!]

According to CEO Haruki Satomi, he wants to create a game that is "so revolutionary that it attracts far more active users than any of the Group's games to date." In order to achieve this goal, he outlines online communities such as streamers. As people create and consume content outside of the game, it adds value separate from what the developers intended. This can then attract more peripheral players, which will in turn increase the game's population.

In order to make enough money for this project, Sega plans on focus on global franchises like Sonic, Persona, and Total War. Satomi has also said that he wants to create "hit titles that represent Japan," and Super Game will help Sega to do so. When Sega first discussed Super Game in April 2022, the company said that it is "the development of triple-A titles that cross over Sega's comprehensive range of technologies."

In April 2022, Sega said that Super Game may integrate NFT and cloud-based technology. It has not made any concrete statements as to whether or not they will be present. However, back in January 2022, Sega had stated that it would not make NFT games if players react negatively.

fate/grand order arcade scathach skadi

Scathach Skadi is set to debut in Fate/Grand Order Arcade. Like in the mobile version of the game, Scathach Skadi will be an SSR Caster. Players can expect to see her in arcades starting on November 1, 2022. She, along with Servants such as EMIYA, will be on pick-up until December 15, 2022. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

You can check out Scathach Skadi as she will appear in Fate/Grand Order Arcade here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7NSNFkWPyA

The video shows her summoning animation, as well as the Arcade version of Gate of Sky, her Noble Phantasm. Due to the difference in gameplay, the description for Gate of Sky is slightly different from the mobile version. In Arcade, it increases the ATK and Crit DMG of allies within an AoE for 50 seconds. It also removes the magical cost you need to evade, grants immunity to insta-death, and reduces damage for 30 seconds. Generally speaking, though, both versions offer the same buffs.

In the lore of Fate/Grand Order, Scathach Skadi hails from the second Lostbelt. She is a separate person entirely from the Proper Human History version of Scathach, and her personality leans heavily into her 'queen' attribute. It is easier to refer to her as a 'Skadi with elements of Scathach' rather than 'Scathath with a lot of Skadi's traits.'

Fate/Grand Order Arcade is available in arcades throughout Japan, and Scathach Skadi will debut on November 1, 2022 for a limited time. Fate/Grand Order is available on mobile devices. Earlier this year in the summer event on the Japanese server, a summer version of Scathach Skadi appeared as a Ruler.
