Does your PC have the firepower to run the Black Ops Cold War beta?

Making things explode is not the goal for once Sun’s out, guns out. Beta’s out, PC minimum and recommended specs out. Not as catchy, twice as important. TheCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waropen beta is nearly upon us and that means it’s time to figure out if your rig can handle the rigors of war.

How long is Spider-Man 2 (PS5)?

With a 15-20ish average playthrough time for Spider-Man 1, Insomniac Games could have gone off the deep end and filledSpider-Man 2with a lot of needless content bloat to try and “top” its mainline predecessor.
