By Digital Trends Staff February 15, 2006

SouthPeak Interactive and video game developer DC Studios today said they’d shipped State of Emergency 2 (SOE2) for the PlayStation 2. This title, a sequel to State of Emergency, is priced at $29.99.

SOE2, said the two video game companies, takes place four years after the original SOE game and features the same in-game characters. Features of SOE2 include a single player mode with 12 missions and a cinematic story, large numbers of simultaneous on-screen characters, nine different types of enemies, multiple types of vehicles which can be controlled, arcade challenges with their own high score table and five multiplayer modes for up to four players. A PSP version will be made available this fall.

“We are pleased to deliver State of Emergency 2 and convinced that this enhanced version will prove to be a popular franchise,” said Mark Greenshields, Chief Executive Officer of DC Studios, in a statement. “We are also very confident that the game’s sequel will surpass its prequel because State of Emergency 2 introduces many new and exciting game-play elements like gang control and interrogation as well as new driving and flying vehicles.”

How to fix ‘servers at capacity’ error in Helldivers 2

A Helldivers 2 player fires a laser canon.

Helldivers 2 is a ton of fun to play, but the game isn’t without its small list of issues. One of these maladies is an error code that reads “servers at capacity.” If you’ve ever seen this pop-up window, you’ll know just how frustrating it can be to get around. But as far as fixes go, there's not much one can do when it comes to getting around this roadblock.
Can you fix the servers at capacity error?

Unfortunately, this is one error in Helldivers 2 that you have no power over. This issue falls on the game being just too popular for the game's servers to keep up with. A statement posted by developer Arrowhead in its official Discord said: "Our team is working around the clock to solve these issues. While we've been able to mitigate some of the causes, we are still struggling to keep up with the scaling that is needed to accommodate all our Helldivers. Therefore, we’ve had to cap our concurrent players to around 450,000 to further improve server stability. We will continue to work with our partners to get the ceiling raised.”

I spent 100+ hours in Hades. Here are my impressions of Hades 2

Melinoe being shot at by a witch.

The worst thing Hades 2 could do is ruin Hades.

The original Hades, a critically acclaimed action game by Supergiant Games, is one of the best games of all time, and it would be a shame for the highly replayable roguelike to be surpassed by a sequel that is just Hades, but more. Thankfully, it doesn't look like Hades 2 will fall into that trap.
