Romance of the Three Kingdoms (RT3K) is a sprawling strategy series that has changed immensely over the four decades of entries Koei, now Koei Tecmo, has released since 1985. For its vast panoply of characters and broad gameplay where you focus on a single person as your own avatar, 2001's Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 is particularly fondly remembered not just in the series stronghold of East Asia but in the West because it got a proper release on PlayStation.

After almost a year of waiting for an important update from Alola, players can finally complete their collection of Rockruff evolutions in Pokémon Go with Dusk Form Lycanroc becoming available. The previous two evolutions were already available, but Dusk Form is a tricky evolution to get. Rockruff has three evolutions in total: A Midday, Midnight, and Dusk Form Lycanroc in Pokémon Go. These evolutions all have to do with the time of day you evolve Rockruff, and you want to make sure you hold off for a particular time to get the correct one. Niantic has now made it possible to obtain Dusk Form Lycanrock; however, the method of getting one is still a bit tedious—just like in main series games like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Here’s what you need to know about how to evolve Rockruff into Dusk Form Lycanroc in Pokémon Go. View the full article

If that sounds like your kind of melange then Widget Inc might be right up your alley, and it's already making waves just days after launch. Read the rest of the story... View the full article

Nothing feels like Monster Hunter. You can ****** giant lizards in any number of games, but Monster Hunter makes it look believable. When I take on a hunt to go toe-to-toe with a Deviljho, it doesn't just feel like I'm whittling away at an arbitrary number of health points. Instead, Capcom's combat, visual, and sound designers sell the fantasy of a hunter who's made a lifestyle of trading blows with tyrannosaurs. I'm not just dealing damage; when I find the right opening, I'm landing blows that look and feel like they hit hard enough for an elder dragon to feel it...
