top four trending games to play this month

Alright, so it appears we've got ourselves a merry selection of four games for this month. Brace yourselves, because as we're all so embarrassingly aware in the tech world, nothing, and I mean nothing, runs smoothly from the get-go.

First off, let your kettles whistle long and loud for the programmers - bless their cotton socks - who strive to ensure these digital marvels don't come apart like a cheap watch the moment you boot them. They do try, honestly, although you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise when you’re staring blankly at the notorious "Error Code: Potato".

Now, onto the games. No specific titles, but frankly, who needs specifics when every month brings new challenges better than the last level boss in "Extremely Hard Game 9". Whether we're wrestling with the network latency in a multiplayer deathmatch, or the AI in a solo campaign suddenly gains an IQ higher than Einstein's, or the physics engine decides gravity is purely optional – it's all part of the joy and frustration that is gaming.

Ludicrous as it sounds, these games are the equivalent of our tech's daily multivitamin; they push the limits, find the bugs, trigger the crashes and generally make a right royal mess of things so that the IT knights in shining armour can ride in for the rescue.

Who needs bungee jumping or skydiving when you've got the adrenaline-fuelled world of tech support, eh? So remember chaps, keep your software updated, your passwords complicated and your expectations low. This is technology, after all. It's practically designed to keep us on our toes. Or banging our heads against the keyboard. Whichever comes first. Read more here.
