World of Tanks will even the playing field for 2014
World of Tanks has come a long way since its inception, but 2014 looks to be quite a game-changer for the free-to-play game. Wargaming is developing some notable improvements to the game, with a great focus on wrestling away the dominance the big clans have on the game, and evening the playing field so smaller, less experienced clans can still have fun without inevitable defeats.
New game modes are the way forward for Wargaming’s plan, and a whole host of new abilities that means your tank isn’t the only thing to rely on in battle.
DLC Fall: Titanfall Expedition map pack coming in May

Half-Life speedrun record smashed, video evidence is nauseating
The original Half-Life game has been the running track for many speed runners over the years, with the usually 15-20 hour story being blitzed through in less than an hour. But now the fastest players alive have thrown down a new gauntlet and broken the existing speedrun record.
Their new time: 20 minutes and 41 seconds. That’s nine minutes faster than the previous record. Nine.
League of Legends pro fined over "one of the highest harassment scores" in LCS history
To his fans, he is FORG1VEN - AD carry for the Copenhagen Wolves and habitual flamer of solo queue games in League of Legends. To Riot Games’ player behaviour tribunal, he is Konstantinos Tzortziou - a bad example to the community, guilty of multiple violations of the LCS ruleset.
Riot have fined Tzortziou $1000, after a number of official warnings failed to lower one of the highest harassment scores in professional LoL.
Titanfall plagued by load time problems post-patch, proclaim pilots
The latest Titanfall patch has done some good - namely private matches for between two and 12 players, from ages 0 to 99. But it’s inadvertently done some bad too. Players are reporting load times so long that they’re now missing the opening dropship sequence altogether, instead beginning matches with their feet on terra firma.
Here's Watch Dogs running on an Ultra spec PC - and the hardware you'll need to do the same
Watch Dogs’ most recent trailer was recorded on a rig rocking an Intel Core i7-3930K and a GeForce Titan. It could hardly be more unattainable if the GPU was cooled using a steady supply of dragon’s blood, or if its disc drive read DVDs via a diamond needle.
You needn’t own the most powerful graphics card in existence to run Watch Dogs on ‘Ultra’, though - merely something in that ballpark.
A cheeky bug has been building invisible walls in Battlefield 4 - and we've only just noticed
Fleshy men repelling rockets; bullets dissolving on contact with oxygen; grenades bouncing off patches of thin air. These are just some of the unexplained phenomena that have been confusing Battlefield 4 players.
In a game that began life riddled with bugs, their cause has been left undiscovered. But Youtuber Jack Frags might have just uncovered the culprit - the newly-named ‘Death Shield’ bug.
