Airdropped into my heart Earlier in the year, Conrad Zimmerman gave the PS4 version ofHelldivershis highest recommendation. He praised it for its brutal and unrelenting action, and its dedication to pitch-black humor and decidedly laissez-faire attitude toward player survival. Now that I’ve had a chance to play the PC version, I have just one problem with his review — he didn’t shout it directly into my ear and insist I pick up a controller and play it right then....

That means a player that only won three rounds the entire match could still come out on top....

Have you upgraded your computers yet? I admit that I haven’t, and I’m unfortunately a snobbyElder Scrollspurist who insists on playing these titles on the PC. In any case, I’m greatly looking forward to the game and its soundtrack from composer Jeremy Soule who has been on board with the series sinceMorrowind.
