     Is Battlenet down? Current Bnet server status

Is Battlenet down? If you're settling in to play a few rounds of Hearthstone, but are unable to launch the game, or even the client, there's a decent chance that Battlenet itself is experiencing an issue. With the majority of games being 'always online' these days, we are at the mercy of the game client, and if they're having issues, we are too.

It doesn't matter whether you want to hunt for loot in a Diablo 4 dungeon, or you want to group up with your friends and take down an entire Warzone 2 server, if Bnet is down, you're out of luck. Turns out that our greatest foe was technical issues all along. If you can gain access to Battlenet, but things are moving very slowly, it's worth checking out how to speed up your Battlenet downloads, so you can get back into the action as quickly as possible.

     BioShock creator calls canned FPS

     The Starfield ship builder just got a comprehensive upgrade

Building the perfect Starfield ship just got a lot easier. While constructing the ultimate starship can be one of the most satisfying endeavors in the Bethesda space RPG, navigating your way through the clunky default interface makes it tough to sort your components and figure out the best options at your disposal. Not anymore though, thanks to a massive overhaul that optimizes the ship-building experience for PC players.

     Warhammer 40k Darktide gets two free updates as Steam reviews surge

Grimdark co-op FPS Warhammer 40k Darktide is already seeing a resurgence, as developer Fatshark prepares to celebrate the game's first anniversary with two big free updates. Despite incredibly fun gameplay building on its predecessor Warhammer Vermintide 2, Darktide has gone through a rather rocky stretch of player dissatisfaction, but recent reworks have seen a big resurgence in its Steam review score and player count, and this upcoming pair of free updates looks to build further on that revival.

I enjoy games where enemies are a resource as much as a hazard. It's not enough that you can farm them for XP by killing them while they respawn, though. I also want to make the monsters appear myself.

So it is in Mob Factory, a blend of tower defense and factory management in which you quickly set up defenses against waves of worms, spiders, skeletons and so forth - and then set up spawners to create more waves, so you can turn their fallen remains into conveyor belts, walls, and eventually new islands to expand your monster-chewing factories upon. It just came out on Steam.

Dungeon Keeper is a stone cold, never-bettered classic of the management genre, no matter how many other games try to mimic its devilish setting and moreish progression. The only issue is that the 1997 original is a little ugly and constrained by modern standards.

Enter KeeperFx, a long-running open source project to make the original Dungeon Keeper run at higher resolutions, with widescreen support, improved AI, online multiplayer, modern controls and user-made levels. After fifteen years of on-off development, it just hit 1.0.

It's the Steam Deck's fault. I picked up Valve's handheld with the aim of using it to play anything and everything, but instead I've used it almost exclusively to play topdown racer Circuit Superstars and Amiga-era throwback racer Horizon Chase Turbo.

Enter Super Woden GP 2, which just released yesterday. It's a blend of Circuit Superstars with the simple car tweaking and progression of early Gran Turismo and it's already heating up my Deck.

     Diablo 4 Lidless Wall Featured ImageUniques will impact heavily on how you play the game and how you destroy and send demons, vampires, and the occasional cultist back to where they belong. Today we will pick one that will be of interest to any Necromancers out there: here is how to get the Lidless Wall in Diablo 4. Diablo 4: How to get the Lidless Wall The first thing you need to know about the Lidless Wall is that it is a Unique item. This means that finding it will not be particularly easy and will depend entirely on RNG. At the same time, the Lidless Wall is a Shield that only Necromancers can equip. It can still drop for other classes, but you won't be able to use it, so you better stash it for your Necromancer to use it. To get it, you will first have to reach World Tier 3. Starting at that difficulty, both Uniques and Uber Uniques will start dropping. I suggest playing Nightmare Dungeons so you can attempt to grind kills to get it eventually. If you feel like farming Dungeons is not som...
