MSI Rocket Lake Roundup w/ MPG CoreLiquid K360

We've been sent a whole range of MSI motherboards, from the (relatively) lowly MAG B560 Tomahawk WiFi at £170, all the way up to the Z590 ACE which will set you back £440. Leo gives us the lowdown on these five different motherboards while also taking a look at MSI's rather fancy MPG CoreLiquid K360 AIO cooler.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
