The strange case of the gamer's lawsuit against Aspyr was resolved earlier this month. The suit, which saw a fan upset at the studio's "false advertising" after DLC based on KOTOR 2's Restored Content Mod failed to materialise as part of its Nintendo Switch port, culminated in a settlement between Aspyr and the gamers who brought the suit to bear...

The games industry has reacted to the sad news that Call of Duty co-creator and Respawn founder Vince Zampella has died in a car accident.

Season 2's first set of Trials is now live in ARC Raiders, and getting three stars on it requires you to find Frozen Raider Containers. This specific item (if we can call it that) is exclusive to the Cold Snap update. You'll have to find a fair few to take your Trials rank to three stars (to get the best rewards). While their locations are completely random, like almost anything else in the game, this guide will help you understand the process better. How to get Frozen Raider Containers in ARC Raiders To find Frozen Raider Containers, you need to understand what they are. Frozen Raider Containers are nothing but Raider Caches that have been part of ARC Raiders since the game's launch. All caches that you can find from frozen areas will count for the Trials in Season Two, Week One. It's pretty mandatory that you'll need to have the Cold Snap condition active. Without this map condition, you won't find frozen areas, and hence no containers. The screenshot below is based on the Spaceport map, but it's not necessary to only play there. Just make sure that Cold Snap is active on a map, and you should be able to find a Frozen Raider Container. Screenshot and remix by Destructoid On Spaceport, most of the Frozen Raider Containers appear to be on the outer edge of the map. I have marked a few of the spots where I have found them. Ideally, you'll be able to find many of these containers in a single raid. For better results, play with friends so that you can find more containers simultaneously. Since the containers will be embedded deep in the ground, you'll have to look carefully. While they do stick out amidst the white snow, the environmental hazards won't make things easier. You'll also be taking damage from Frostbite, so carry plenty of healing items. You can also create a route based on the locations marked on the screenshot above to make things more efficient. If you have started the Season 2 grind, make sure to check out all the tasks and how you can complete them to earn three stars in the process.

I went in intending to grab one thing and came out mentally justifying half a library refresh. That is usually how these weeks go. If you have ever told yourself you are absolutely done buying games this month, you are among friends here. Contents RetroNintendoXboxPlayStationPCPC GearLEGOThis Day in Gaming In retro news, I'm celebrating the Aussie birthday of a rare and expensive bird, the SNK Neo Geo CD. Released in limited numbers in Oz around the $600 ballpark ($1,299 in '25 bux), this bad boy delivered near-perfect arcade-quality games, though it was a "budget" alternative to the hilari-expensive, cartridge-based Neo Geo AES.

[/url] Back to top Purchase Cheap for PC Winner: Metaphor: ReFantazio[/b]For years, Atlus’ cult-RPG Persona went from being a cool underground RPG series from Japan to one of the biggest franchises in modern gaming. But with Metaphor: ReFantazio, it’s clear the developers behind Persona were seeking to push themselves to new heights. Trading in the modern-day Japanese high school setting for a pure fantasy world full of long-eared knights and bat-like ninjas, Atlus’ Studio Zero has created an incredible and timely meditation on political strife and demagoguery. After the death of the King, the United Kingdom of Euchronia, divided by racial prejudice among its citizens, begins the process of holding its very first popular election that kickstarts a grand, cross-continental adventure. For anyone familiar with the Persona series, you’ll find familiar hallmarks here. Players split their time crawling through difficult dungeons full of horrifying monsters, while spending free moments building up relationships with various party members and inhabitants around the country.But while the Persona games took these quiet moments to reaffirm the virtues of youthful friendships, Metaphor uses these times to tackle headier questions. What defines a knight’s duty, or the responsibilities of those born into wealth? Can one ever heal from the pains of racism, and is religious tolerance a foolhardy endeavor? These aren’t easy questions to address but are asked plainly throughout Metaphor’s 70-hour playtime.While Studio Zero refrains from giving clear-cut answers to these questions, it instead acknowledges the virtues of empathy, kindness, and strength in the face of overwhelming fear and hatred that can take root in an uncertain world where leaders promise salvation in exchange for unwavering loyalty. Wrap these philosophical musings in a stylish, turn-based RPG that looks and feels stupendous — complete with beautiful character designs from artist Shigenori Soejima and music from Shoji Meguro – and you’ll quickly understand why Metaphor: ReFantazio is IGN’s pick for Best Game of 2024."/>Metaphor: ReFantazio (-55%) A$51.70 Stylish, confident, and packed with personality, this feels like Atlus firing on all cylinders.It Takes Two (-80%) A$9.90 One of the smartest cooperative games ever made, designed around communication and shared discovery.Detroit: Become Human (-90%) A$5.90 A branching narrative showcase that is still fascinating to dissect, especially with friends watching.Octopath Traveler (-60%) A$35.90 A beautiful modern take on classic JRPG structure, with a stunning soundtrack to match.Silent Hill 2 (-62%) A$38.90 Psychological horror royalty, still unmatched in how deeply uncomfortable it is willing to be.
