By stepping onto a special altar and performing an emote, you can turn into a wolf and obtain the Howler Claws. These...

Not all those who wander are lost

Livestream available, but only in the US
Elden Ring is many things, an incredible action RPG, FromSoftware's magnum opus, and a source of frustration for those unused to its particular morays. It also has a killer soundtrack, one that is getting the jazz treatment in a special concert in December... but only in the US, tragically. Entitled Elden...

News Nico Minoru Doubles Down on Random Elements in Marvel's Midnight Suns
Another hero highlighted
One thing that's nice about Marvel's Midnight Suns is it isn't relying solely on the most established superheroes in its catalogue. The likes of Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Captain America are in the mix, for sure, but we're somewhat more interested in the lesser known characters. One such example is Nico, who's the focus of...

Time for some spring cleaning

News As Energy Prices Soar, Consider an Alternative to Video Streaming on PS5, PS4
Fortune favours the bold
While the PS5 is an excellent all-round entertainment box, it may not be your best bet for streaming apps like Netflix and the recently re-released Disney +. This is because the power draw when using your new-gen system is significantly higher than a dedicated device, like a Chromecast or Apple TV. And with many of us...

The console landscape is changing. While the PS5 – despite all of its pandemic-induced inventory issues – remains one of the fast-selling formats of all time, the so-called “network effect” that determined previous generations is eroding. With crossplay surging in popularity across many of t

Random Forget Need for Speed Unbound, This GT7 Livery Goes Full Auto Modellista
Designer replicates original Ridge Racer livery as well
Auto Modellista wasn’t a great PS2 racing game, but the Capcom outing has gone down in history for its eye-catching cel-shaded artstyle. Many were hoping that Need for Speed Unbound, rumoured to adopt an “anime style” prior to its reveal, would be that title – but it’s opting for...
