In a development you don't see every day, following the closure of Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks, swarms of fans have expressed their outrage by positively review bombing the game on Steam. This reverse review bombing campaign has resulted in several thousand Positive new reviews rising to the top since the news of Bethesda's Microsoft-mandated restructure broke last week.
NordVPN Review
02.05.2024 - 19:21 / ign.com
Editor's Note: Our first NordVPN review was published back in 2017, but after significant updates we've revisted the review.
NordVPN is arguably the best known VPN provider. Launched more than a decade ago, it has long had a reputation for its reliable unblocking of popular streaming services. Indeed, it recently made our list of the best VPNs for streaming and is also our best VPN for gaming. Despite its dominance, NordVPN still has some things to work on, not least the presentation of its apps.
With a NordVPN subscription, you’ll have access to more than 6,000 servers in 111 countries. This is a sizable server network and surpasses the vast majority of VPN services on the market. It’s only to be expected that NordVPN offers more servers than a provider like PrivateVPN because it caters to a significantly higher number of users.
Server quantity isn’t everything but it offers some advantages. In particular, it means that user load is more evenly distributed, allowing for more consistent connections. A greater number of server locations makes it likelier that you’ll find a server in close proximity to your location for faster speeds (because data doesn’t have to travel as far). Another benefit of having servers in so many countries is that you have increased flexibility in accessing geo-restricted websites.
If you’re in North America, NordVPN is a particularly good option because some 40 percent of its server network (roughly 2,500 servers) is spread across 19 cities in the US and Canada. There’s also more than 400 servers in the UK and 200 servers in Australia. NordVPN offers servers in countries that many VPNs don’t cover including Andorra, Belize, and Greenland. Naturally, NordVPN may prove to be an attractive option if you’re from one of these countries.
Not all VPNs are suitable for more bandwidth-heavy activities such as streaming, gaming, and video calling. While all VPNs encrypt your internet traffic – which can take a heavy toll on your connection speed – some services make up for this by offering fast VPN protocols, low-load servers near your physical location, and unlimited bandwidth.
So while some VPNs simply aren’t suitable for certain online activities, others are more than up to the task. Fortunately, NordVPN falls into the latter category. NordVPN has a proprietary protocol called NordLynx, which is based on the WireGuard protocol and has only 4,000 lines of code. The lightweight design allows for a high level of efficiency, which translates to better performance.
In order to find out the speeds NordVPN offers, I ran tests on three of its server locations: Barcelona, Spain (the closest NordVPN server location to where I live), New York, and Tokyo. I ran these tests over three days at

Altered Trading Card Game Preview
Earlier this week, Asmodee Canada invited me to their Canada Plays Trade Show in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Although this event is primarily for retailers to meet with distributors, a few select media folks were invited to attend as well, and it was well worth the trip. One of my favourite moments was getting to demo the upcoming Trading Card Game, Altered.

Sand Land Review
The bountiful creations of the late Akira Toriyama are household names, but you won’t find any of his most well-known characters in Sand Land. His lesser-known graphic novel has remained a footnote when compared to Dragon Ball Z’s prodigious success, but it’s clear that someone out there thinks that now is Sand Land’s time, with the arrival of a movie, an animated series, and a video game adaptation, all in the last six months. This multi-format assault showcases that the genius of Akira Toriyama extended far beyond the Dragon Balls, and while it might have taken a long time coming, it was well worth the wait.
