  1. Many of the most powerful magic items in Baldur's Gate 3 can be found in the Lower City during the third act of the game. Which is good, because it makes it hard to miss those items by progressing in quests too quickly. However, there are several incredibly strong pieces of gear that disappear from the game once players get to a certain point in a popular side quest. View the full article
  2. With dozens upon dozens of dunk animations in NBA 2K25, it’s easy to get lost. Fret not, we will take you through all dunk requirements in MyCAREER, including attributes and height, so you can create your MyPLAYER and level him up accordingly. Each dunk animation in NBA 2K25 comes with a set of attribute requirements, and occasionally, height limitations. The three attributes you need to level up are Standing Dunk, Driving Dunk, and Vertical, though not all three are always within a dunk animation’s list of requirements. View the full article
  3. Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 features several great characters with an amazing voice cast that helps bring the title and world to life. We’re listing all the voice actors, their notable roles, and the characters they play in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 below. View the full article
  4. In NBA 2K25 there are many different requirements that you’ll need to meet to maximize your potential on the court, especially when playing in the league in MyPlayer. For prospective dunking phenoms, for example, unlocking every dunking badge and maximum dunk attributes will require you to increase your height. Dunking is a skill that you’ll need to master if you wish to create some highlight plays, but unfortunately, not everyone is built for the skies. To unlock your true potential as a high-flying superstar, you must hit some specific requirements with your player build—and if you’re looking to build a smaller prospect for your would-be dunker, you might be out of luck.

  5. The Seek is one of the most formidable entities to face in Roblox Doors, and you’ll need a solid plan to escape his shenanigans so you can complete your runs with ease. Roblox Doors is a scary experience where you open multiple doors in the hotel and avoid entities to plan your perfect escape. There are various types of entities and Seek is one of the first ones you will encounter. The entity puts your reflexes to the test as it starts chasing you down the Hotel with its power. Luckily for you, there is a potent strategy to counter his aggressive chases and you can use it to easily outclass the entity each time. View the full article
  6. I love RPGs, so it will come as no surprise to anyone that I've poured thousands of hours into Fallout 4 since its release in 2015. I scoured every inch of the Commonwealth to find hidden areas and odd side quests and made it my mission to recruit every companion every single playthrough. I adore the Fallout franchise, and Fallout 4, so it breaks my heart that it has such a glaring problem at its core with the Sole Survivor. View the full article
  7. Star Wars Outlaws is the journey of new character Kay Vess, a scoundrel in the Star Wars universe who is working with some of the nefarious names in the galaxy. The game is mission based, and players follow Vess and her little pal Nix around as they go on missions for various underworld ********** and navigate how to best maintain Vess reputation as a smuggler, especially when gaining a reputation with rival syndicates simultaneously.

  8. In the world of Once Human, Meta-humans must survive by fighting using different ******* skills, such as the Shrapnel skill that multiplies ******* damage by attacking other parts of an ******. Specifically, it will deal 50% damage to an unhit part of the ******, and can also crit and strike weakspots upon doing so.

  9. In front of a packed-out LCS studio, FlyQuest (with a little help from a few minions) has taken out the Summer Championship 3-1 over Team Liquid and is NA’s top seed for the League of Legends World Championship. FlyQuest left it to the last moment but after eight years in North ********* League, they weren’t going to let Liquid deny them a chance at their first LCS title. For Liquid, it was an all-but-perfect split—the six-time regional champions were undefeated heading into the final, but they were unable to complete the season sweep and will have to settle for second.

  10. A recent ***** from Honkai: Star Rail is teasing the potential addition of a brand-new Path to the game, suggesting there may be a new class for the RPG's characters soon. Fans of the massively popular RPG from HoYoverse have plenty of options to consider when building team compositions, ranging from a character's individual stats to their synergy with other characters. Star Rail currently features seven different elemental "Types" among its playable cast, alongside seven unique Paths serving as classes. Now, leaks are potentially hinting at the addition of the game's eighth character Path. View the full article
  11. Industrial Annihilation is a mashup Planetary Annihilation (big ****** armies do battle on a planet) with factory management such as Factorio (conveyor belts conveyor belts conveyor belts). When we last checked in with it back in January, it was funding via StartEngine with an ambitious eye towards a spring Early Access release. Now it's September and it's just got done being successfully funded via Kickstarter, with a probably-still-ambitious eye towards an Early Access release before the end of 2024.

  12. Let’s cut to the chase early with this appraisal. Great if expensive controller; ludicrous marketing claims that should not be taken seriously. The Thrustmaster Eswap X2 Elden Ring is indeed responsive, versatile in its reconfigurability, and fetching to look at, but it sure ain't the peripheral equivalent of Homer Simpson’s Wonderbat. It will not prevent you from dying in its sadistic Soulslike namesake. I can confidently debunk the claim of “You Shall Never Know Defeat” after a due diligence trip back into my completed save of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. The PTSD from returning to the Land of Shadow proved to be real; the invulnerability spruiked by this controller? Yeah, nah. Not so much. That heavenly-looking ascent up through Enir-Elim was still a hellish ordeal that tore me to shreds. Brutally. Repeatedly. To the point where I wondered how the heck I managed it in the first place with a bog standard X/S controller. Horned Warrior rocking frost spells in the rooftop section, it was not ice to see you again. And so, now that we know that skill-checks are still going to be a thing in your future, let’s just move on to the actual benefits and decent features of this otherwise brilliant bit of kit… Best Deals for a Thrustmaster Eswap X2 Get it at JB Hi-Fi - $349Get it at Scorptec - $349Get it at Mwave - $349Thrustmaster Eswap X2 Hands On Impressions It seems I’ve been collecting quite a few elite-tier/priced controllers of late. Some of them are official, like the venerable DualSense Edge; others are third-party upstarts who have cheekily shown up their first-party competition, like the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra. None of them, however, have sparked my interest more than the radically reconfigurable Thrustmaster Eswap X2 Elden Ring. Having the ability to switch out the right and left analogue sticks, thereby rendering them symmetrical (Sony style) or asymmetrical (Xbox bandit), isn’t a brand new concept. That being said, I haven’t seen it achieved with this degree of Soulslike style and in a footprint that's only slightly ******* and heftier than a standard controller. We're talking 15.4 x 11.9 x 6.6 cm (WLH) and a comfortably well-balanced 329g. I dig Elden Ring—despite the textbook abusive relationship that exists between us—and this controller is a handsomely designed companion product to celebrate that love/hate. The gold trim and rust ********* marble aesthetics give this an air of elegance. The central visage of Messmer, sitting there smugly on his throne, is crisply printed and a worthy foe to feature (I still think he was the best boss battle in the entire DLC). Skin deep concerns aside, what do you actually get for the considerable amount of Runes you’ll be dropping on this peripheral? In the box you’ll find the controller, two interchangeable thumbstick tops (convex style), a lovely braided three-metre USB-A-to-C power cable, and a simple tote bag to hold it all in. Oddly, I didn't get a little screwdriver that’s needed if you wish to replace the triggers and grips. I had no ******* to do so anyway, and I’m not sure what the availability of that extra component is locally. Honestly, I was more than happy with the level of customisation I got standard, first on a hardware level and then in Thrustmaster’s decently deep software tool. The latter basically lets you remap as you please and comes with a range of tweakables in the departments of Mini-Sticks, Triggers, and Vibrations. Once again, there’s no setting in these menus for User Skill Boost or Git Gud-er. Hopefully it's coming in a firmware update. I have to say that I was mighty impressed with the process of transforming from PS to XB style stick alignments. Impressively, zero tools are required here; you just pinch the stick, pull with enough force to disengage the magnet holding the stick housing cube, and then you slot it into its new home with a satisfying (and reasonably strong/securing) click. I’d say you could do all this in 5 seconds flat if it weren’t for the dpad housing unit, which is a pinch more difficult. As it’s a lower profile protrusion on the gamepad, you have to get a nail in under the cross to sort of lever it out. Easy once you’ve done it a few times; probably a pain if you chew your cuticles on the regular. When it comes to inputs, I love having four extra buttons on the back to allow the tips of my pinky and ring fingers to be actually useful. I’m also a fan of the RT and LT triggers having little slide locks that halve their travel. There’s nothing particularly new in this department—they're all things we’ve come to expect from any controller competing in the premium space. Par for the controller stuff. Beyond the stick switcherooing, the only notable claim to fame with the Eswap X2 is its button responsiveness. Apparently, these mechanical buttons are 64% faster than standard membrane-based buttons, with an activation distance reduced to 0.3 mm. I will say that I was convinced of some slight response time improvements while reviewing Marvel vs. Capcom Collection. But this could be the placebo effect in action, to be perfectly honest. Bottom line: I’d buy this more for the lavish looks and the defaulty expected “Elite Controller” features than to acquire some sort of huge gaming edge. I daresay you’ll get slight improvements here and there, as I certainly felt more effective with those four rear-mounted buttons mapped to face buttons. That being said, Shadow of the Erdtree is a siege where you live on a ******'s edge of survival—every one of those tiny gains could conceivably keep you away from yet another “You *****” screen.

  13. Godus developer Peter Molyneux thinks that generative AI is going to be a "real game changer" in video games, and that everyone will be able to "create a game from one single prompt such as 'Make a battle royale set on a pirate ship.'" These were among Molyneux's predictions for where video games would be in 25 years. Read more View the full article
  14. The rogue is a popular class choice for players of Baldur's Gate 3, both for its skill expertise and its adaptability. It's the fourth-most popular choice players make for custom characters, and is pretty unique as far as martial options in the game go. Rogues are the only *******-centered class that don't receive extra *******, instead focusing on insanely high damage from each individual strike using sneak ******* and stealthy tactics.

  15. Few classes are as synonymous with the fantasy genre as the wizard, and in Baldur's Gate 3, they are one of the most fun classes to play. And, thanks to Gale of Waterdeep, almost every party will have a wizard as they set out to defeat the Absolute and save all of Faern. As wizards differ in key ways from other BG3 spellcasters, there are certain feats that will help make the most of any arcane spellslinger. View the full article
  16. Console players are still waiting patiently for the release of Stardew Valley's 1.6 update. Perhaps the biggest change to Stardew yet, this patch includes new crops, new quests, new items, new just about everything. It revitalized many players' interest in the game when it was released back in March for PC, and sparked a new wave of Stardew secret-hunting, but still has yet to come to any other platform, neither mobile devices nor Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, or Xbox consoles.

  17. In Once Human, players can farm to obtain crops used in cooking and crafting, especially recipes that buff or heal. Contaminated Crops are the newest farming mechanic, allowing players to find contaminated versions of Berries, Wheat, and Aloe Vera in polluted areas. These crops can then be placed in Brewing Barrels to be distilled into Acid. View the full article

  21. Shinji Mikami, founder of Tango Gameworks, thought the studio would be "safe as long as they continued to make Hi-Fi Rush games." Mikami was asked about the studio's closure by Microsoft earlier this year, and its revival under new owners Krafton at Gamescom last month. Read more View the full article
  22. It was an all-********* affair in the consolidation match of the 2024 Speed Chess Championship, and streamer extraordinaire Nakamura battered his young opponent, outthinking and outlasting Niemann in the progressively faster time controls. After defeats to Alireza Firouzja and Magnus Carlsen, respectively, in the semifinals, Nakamura and Niemann faced off in a match that may not have had that much riding on the line in terms of tournament prestige, but human elements still made it a notable clash between two of North America’s greatest players.

Aside from that, there are quite a few new mounts that are already available, granted players know how to pick them up.
