So, here’s a few examples you could follow if you fancy having characters like Duke Nukem or Doom Guy in your squad. Here he is, old Doom “Champ” Guy. It’s a very powerful look for him, the trunk-like appendages of Gears characters really suits the demon slayer’s “I’ll crush you” kinda vibe. Next up we have Halo’s very own Avery Johnson. This one’s a pretty uncanny likeness, too. Now, his glasses aren’t quite right and he’s missing his bandoliers, but you know what?...

Anyone who wants to go it alone in Master Duel can now play two extra Solo gates in the single-player mode: ‘The Danger Files’ and ‘Duel Strategy 2’. The latter has new tutorial missions and rewards. Konami have also included two new card Selection Packs, ‘Refined Blade’ and ‘Fusion Potential’, plus a Structure Deck called ‘Cybernetic Successor’. Of all the newly introduced cards in this update, ‘Lord Of the Heavenly Prison’ definitely sounds the coolest, at any rate....

I’d phone a doctor if that headache keeps up, though. Might be serious. Setting out to build “an appetite for short games”, 10mg have unveiled their first bundle of ten games, each 10 minutes long, at 10 bucks for the lot. The idea, according to today’s press release, is to capture the feeling of searching through free browser oddities by giving creators a space to stretch their legs. In their own words: “the small, weird and short need a home”....

This year that month is September. There are so many games out this month that look so much my jam that I want to spread ’em on my morning toast, but September is also the month that a lot of RPS staff have holiday booked - including me, for two weeks, which means that if these games do get reviewed it probably won’t be by me. But know that I have my beady little eyes on ’em....

The update rolled out last night, and they posted a big run down of patch notes over on Reddit. Players have been sorted out into categories: those in category “A” were unable to even login to the game as their inventory was drained, while those in category “B” lost loot but could still play. The patch targets those in group “A” first. Here are the important bits regarding the restorations....

In all seriousness, I’d actually love to see this kind of tech make its way to a gaming laptop. 3D displays aren’t new, of course, but they’ve previously required big chunky glasses to work - and Nvidia binned their 3D Vision support back in 2019. We’ve also had eye-tracking displays on gaming laptops, too - in fact, many of Dell’s fancy Alienware models still come with built-in Tobii eye-trackers so you can control the camera with your own eyeballs....

“We will not be silenced until Bobby Kotick has been replaced as CEO, and continue to hold our original demand for Third-Party review by an employee-chosen source,” said employee group ABetterABK. Over 150 workers gathered outside Blizzard Entertainment’s offices in Irvine, California. ABetterABK said that 90 more joined the protest virtually too, with many taking the #actiblizzwalkout hashtag on Twitter to share thoughts and support their colleagues. Activision Blizzard issued a statement about the new allegations, talking about recent improvements, and claiming the WSJ report “presents a misleading view of Activision Blizzard and our CEO....

You can grab the game by heading over to Rebellion’s storefront, where the offer is displayed proudly on the front page. There is a minor catch. You have to sign up to Rebellion’s newsletter, after which a Steam key for the game will be sent to you. Being 23 years old, AvP is a little acid-damaged around the edges these days. The terrors of its Marine campaign have certainly diminished in the wake of Alien: Isolation....

It’s a decent shout for anyone still trying to get their hands on a next-gen graphics card, although whether you’ll be any more successful trying to actually buy one when it goes on sale tomorrow remains to be seen. The great graphics card shortage continues to thwart new hardware buyers, and I suspect the RX 6600 XT will probably follow the same path as every other next-gen graphics card has before it this year: appear for two minutes, then disappear into a fog of jacked up prices and ‘out of stock’ stickers....

The Idaho DLC will add thousands of miles of new road, 11 Idaho cities like Boise and Idaho Falls, and familiar land features like canyons and valleys. I’ll spare ya the spud jokes because I suspect the locals have heard about as many of them as I have corn puns. As a midwesterner who’s never been to Idaho, I can tell you with some confidence that yep, that sure is a slightly west-er part of the country than where I’m from....

The Skeld map The Skeld tips and tricks The Skeld map If, like me, you struggle to remember the specific location names in The Skeld while barking out orders and accusations, you’ll want a version of the map open in a separate window. Thankfully, we’ve put together a nice basic map for you to refer to, with annotations of the most important aspects. The red boxes and lines represent the vents that only the impostor can crawl through and the routes they can take through them, whilst the yellow triangles and boxes show the security camera locations and the areas they can cover when you examine the computer at Security....

In the most recent episode of The Third Party: An Apex Legends podcast (available on Spotify and Apple for your listening pleasure), senior game designer Daniel Klein said more Wraith changes are coming in Season 8 to get her “under control”. “I don’t want to hit her kit any more,” he said. “We’ve pushed that to the breaking point where it’s barely still fun, but the extreme wind-up on her tactical (as much as it was necessary) it puts the ability more into the camp of cerebral power rather than satisfying in the moment power....

In this Assassin’s Creed Valhalla guide: Who is The Vault in AC: Valhalla? How to work out who The Vault is Who is The Vault in AC: Valhalla? Let’s cut to the chase, The Vault is Audun. You should accuse him at the feast in Jorvik. Weirdly, this choice doesn’t actually amount to much because he’ll reveal himself anyway. Still, it’s good to be right before the fighting kicks off....

In this Assassin’s Creed Valhalla guide: How to get Nickel Ingot in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Fastest way to farm Nickel Ingots What are Nickel Ingots used for? How to get Nickel Ingots in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Nickel Ingot can be found in regions of suggested power of 55 or higher. It’s unlikely that you’ll find any in the starting areas of the game. Instead, you’ll need to head to East Anglia (keep an eye out for romance options here) and look for treasure to pick up your first few Nickel Ingots....

The map is huge, with each area having its own mini-saga of warring locals and power struggles to complete to get them on side. There’s a whole menu of evil Templar agents to hunt down, a la Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey. There are themed gear sets to collect and upgrade. There are side missions a-plenty, ranging from stealing clothes from nudists, to tripping on mushrooms, to collecting Roman artefacts....

The Atari of old has been long gone while now, with their modern incarnation chasing business plans such as hotel chains and block chains. Both of those are sticking around, it sounds, but on the game development side they’ll be moving from free-to-play mobile games (including such reheated classics as RollerCoaster Tycoon Story and Atari Combat: Tank Fury) to paid-for games on PC and consoles. Recently-appointed CEO Wade J. Rosen has this to say about their plans for the future: Atari did recently restructure, splitting into gaming and blockchain divisions in April....
