Certain things are just made to go together – peanut butter and jelly, bullets in a magazine – and in this case, the introduction of iconic heavy metal band Megadeth to World of Tanks and World of Warships as part of the Metal Fest in-game event later this month.

Between August 28 and October 3, players across World of Warships: Legends, World of Tanks Modern Armor, World of Warships PC and World of Tanks Blitz PC will be able to unlock Megadeth themed vehicles, commanders, skins, emblems, hangar items and more.

Across their 40-year tenure as one of the world’s biggest metal bands, Megadeth have been no stranger to the iconographies of monstrous war machines roaring through a battlefield. As a huge fan of both heavy metal and tanks, I couldn’t help but pop my head into Wargaming to learn more about how this epic collaboration came about.

This may be a first-of-its-kind partnership for Megadeth, but Wargaming itself is well-versed...

This November will mark 18 years since Xbox 360 launched. It was a generation-defining console that invited many to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. Over the years, we’ve heard stories of players who found a lifelong love of games, starting with the likes of Kameo, Gears of War, Fable 2 and other Xbox 360 classics. We’re thrilled so many fans keep playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility.

As we head toward 2024, we have a change to share about the Xbox 360 experience:

• On July 29, 2024, Xbox will stop supporting the ability to purchase new games, DLC, and other entertainment content from the Xbox 360 Store on the console and the Xbox 360 Marketplace (marketplace.xbox.com)
• Related to this change, the Microsoft Movies & TV app will no longer function on Xbox 360, which means TV and movie content will no longer be viewable on your Xbox 360 after...

Tensions are high at the camp. The settlement has grown substantially, food is running low, and the villagers are unsettled, which is likely the fault of the rotten, pulsating monster sitting in the forest nearby. My fastest fisherman is spending an above-average amount of time at the shrine in the camp’s center, and not enough time bringing back supplies. One of her weaknesses is indeed, catastrophizing events such as this one, but for the first time in my playthrough, she may be justified. I have, after all, just sacrificed her firstborn child to placate the putrid horror.

This is an example of the many grim, horrifyingly practical choices that you’ll face in Gord, an adventure-strategy game that combines city building and simulation to create a unique blend of both. It evokes elements of Frostpunk, The Witcher series, classic RTS games, and more – but rather than ape them, it uses them as ingredients for something new. You’ll take control of The Tribe of the Dawn,...
