They comprise things like a maximum overall of 90, a maximum speed of 89, a minimum shooting of 80, a maximum of two alternative positions, and more....

Summary Xbox Game Pass has a ton of games, and even though prominent genres like FPS andRPGs dominate much of its catalog, there’s something for everyone here, including platformers. Platformers, especially right now, have a pretty great presence on the service. You have various classic titles, most of them remastered, multiplayer platformers, indie gems, and even forgotten games that don’t see enough love. As time goes on, platformers will no doubt be even bigger on the service when more of Activision Blizzard’s catalog comes over to Game Pass with more Crash and Spyro games....

The Boyswrapped up its fourth season earlier this month and continues to paint a prophetic picture of modern America. We don’t have superheroes in reality, but everything else is on the nose, so much so that the finale centred on a presidential assassination came with an episode title it had to hastily ditch in response to recent events. As much as it cleverly satirises the rise of far-right politics, rainbow capitalism, and a laundry list of other hard-hitting themes, it is also a gross-out show about sex, violence, and corrupt superheroes....

Summary The Eternal Life of Goldman just premiered at theTHQ NordicDigital Showcase. This was our first look at the game, with the reveal giving us a mix of gameplay and cinematics. The Eternal Life of Goldman is a completely new IP and is a platformer that puts players in the role of the titular protagonist, Goldman. However, its most eye-catching feature is its art and animation style, as it seems like almost everything on screen is constantly in motion and drawn by hand....

Arcades ruled the gaming scene for decades before gaming consoles were widely available to the public. Arcades allowed players to create a culture of community and camaraderie rarely seen within present-day gaming. The gratification of beating someone or the public shame of losing ishard to recreate on a casual level today. So, to celebrate what arcades meant for gaming, we’ve cultivated a list of arcade games that were popular and easy to find but shaped both the culture and gaming as a whole over the years....

Quick Links The Lands Between and Realm Of Shadows ofElden Ringare full of monsters of all shapes and sizes. While most of them would like nothing more to destroy another tarnished, some are better at doing so than others. One faction of creature is that of the dragons. A once proud group, they don’t seem as healthy as they should when you meet them in Elden Ring. While it doesn’t mean they can’t put up a good fight, it does raise somequestions about their lore....

Nominations for the Primetime Emmy Awards have been revealed,and aside from Amazon’s Fallout receiving a surprising number of nominationsandThe Bear once again breaking lofty records held by past shows, it’s a pretty normal year for the ceremony. Except, when it comes to animation, the medium is packing even more in its category than ever before. I have no beef with shows like The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, and Rick & Morty, but they are the safe animated picks when it comes to The Emmys, and rarely do we see masterpieces like BoJack Horseman or Arcane nestle in to compete with them, and even then, chances are they don’t walk away with the win....

Summary The Rings of Powerhad a mixed reaction fromLord of the Ringsfans. From a Galadriel viewers weren’t used to seeing, to a Balrog out of time, and invented characters and storylines that filled in the gaps of Tolkien’s Legendarium, it was never going to please everyone. But showrunners J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay don’t mind that the show had its critics. In fact, they embrace it. “It’s gratifying to have such a fanbase that we have in fans of Middle-earth and fans of Tolkien,” Payne tells me ahead of the Season 2 premiere in London....

Summary While playingDungeons & Dragons, there’s rarely a bigger moment than when a dragon appears. Whether it’s foreshadowed or not, the actual moment usually has players scrambling for a strategy and the Dungeon Master cackling with glee. Rightly so, a dragon is almost always an impactful and exciting encounter. When your group has been playing for a long time, though, it can be hard to keep things fresh. Even an Ancient Dragon starts to feel a little stale when you’ve toppled multiple ones across different campaigns....

We’re living in the golden age ofgamingmonitors, folks. We’re talking about screens that refresh faster than you’re able to blink, colors that pop like fireworks on the 4th of July, and enough screen real estate to make your desk feel like mission control for the Oval Office. But with all these options, howdoyou separate the pixel-pushing champions from the overhyped pretenders? The false gods? Fear not, brave readers, that… is exactly where we come in....

Summary Hunt: Showdownhas received a humongous update, including changing the name to Hunt: Showdown 1896. With this update came a novel’s worth of patch notes, detailing every change in the update, along with the reasoning why. While all of the core elements that make Hunt such a unique game are all still present, there are a lot of things that have changed pretty dramatically. This ranges from environmental issues to how the meta-game is structured, down to the minutiae of the gunplay....

Elden Ringhas some of the most difficult bosses FromSoftware has ever designed, and part of that difficulty comes from their massive health pools. To slay these bosses effectively, you’ll want to make use of the many weapons, talismans, and buffs you can find, but how much damage could you deal if you stack all those buffs? Turns out, quite a lot of damage, but that doesn’t make the game any easier....
