Get Microsoft Office 365 today – free of charge

The cloud is coming, cried the crowd. For once, it wasn't tennis fanatics at Wimbledon, this time it's Microsoft's online Office marketing team. KitGuru goes online to see what the fuss is about.

Thankfully, you don't have to pay a penny to find out. Microsoft has just launched a free preview programme that will allow you to get into 365 and see if it's useful – without the need to commit.

KitGuru Games: Corporate nonsense has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy as game removed from over 170 countries

It tends to take a lot for gamers to 'forgive' a studio after messing up a launch, for instance CD Projekt Red had to spend three additional years developing Cyberpunk 2077 before many were willing to give the game another shot. In the case of Helldivers 2, despite the game having some rough server issues at launch, the game turned out to be so good that many players simply waited things out, without leaving a trail of negative reviews. Now, a case of incredibly poor communication and a poorly thought-out plan from the game's publisher, Sony, has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy, with the game being removed from over 170 countries.
