Honkai: Star Rail’s turn-based combat system involves building a team of up to four characters, each having their own set of abilities that they can unleash when their turn comes. In some cases, however, you don’t always need to follow the turn system, such as when using characters’ Ultimates, as well as launching follow-up attacks. Follow-up attacks are attacks that can be triggered automatically while ignoring the turn order, and are an integral part of some characters’ kits....
Summary Many of Mario’s adventures occur in the Mushroom Kingdom, including the original Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64. The sequel,Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, takes the plumber away from his home territory and sends him to unfamiliar locations like Rogueport and Glitzville to search for the Crystal Stars he needs to save Princess Peach from the X-Nauts. Each region in The Thousand-Year Door has something unique that allows it to stand out from the other locations in the game....
Summary WWE 2K24continues to iterate and has one of the largest rosters of any wrestling game, boasting well over 200 individuals ranging from professional wrestlers to managers and even the likes of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. Even so, many of the industry’s top names are missing from the lineup. Whether excluded due to controversy or because they’re currently signed with another promotion, it’s still a shame not to have them. We thought we would look at the biggest names still absent, not counting those we know who are coming later in DLC packs....

Summary After a mysterious new website was found, and a blurry image of a man squatting with two pistols was leaked, it seems pretty likelyCall of Dutyis gearing up to announceBlack Ops 6. We’ve yet to hear anything concrete about the next Call of Duty game, apart from the fact thatit will be launching on Xbox Game Pass, but it now seems like Activision Blizzard is gearing up for a big announcement....
Summary Every year, there’s at least one indie game that I develop a borderline unhealthy obsession with all the way up to release. It wasCult of the Lambin 2022 andSea of Starsin 2023, but I struggled to find a game this year that was immediately interesting enough to capture my attention. That is, untilCaravan SandWitchwas shown off duringWholesome Games Direct 2024, a game with vibes so immaculate that I was smitten by a single, minute-long trailer....
Quick Links InHades 2, Melinoe fights bosses on the surface and in the Underworld. Each boss has unique attack patterns and phases. General knowledge about the attacks and how-to-beat strategy goes a long way in defeating them, as you do runs in the game. Polyphemus is one of the bosses that look harmless at first but hits very hard. His attacks are not many and most of these are derivatives of the basic ones....
Summary One thing I love about gaming events likeWASDis sharing recommendations with people. You can tell them of a little gem tucked away in a dimly-lit corner of the showroom floor you don’t want them to miss, and they will turn around and do the exact same thing for you. The more people you chat with, the more recommendations you get, and generally, if you keep hearing the same name over and over, you know it’s a winner....
Summary There is no shortage of anime and manga that would make for great video games. For example,Berserk would make for a killer FromSoftware game, andMobile Suit Gundam would feel right at home within the Titanfall universe. That said, a vast majority of anime video gamesend up as fighting games, specifically 3D arena fighters. They’re not bad per se, but they are a dime a dozen, and once you’ve played one, then you’ve experienced all there is to know....
Summary Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerohas been officially rated in Singapore, with a potential release window of 2024 attached alongside it. Ever since Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero wasannounced at The Game Awards last year, Bandai Namco has been pretty forthcoming with information about the title and which characters will make upits absolutely massive roster, promisinga new trailer every month up to launch. Unfortunately, the one thing it hasn’t budged on this entire time is the release date, and fans are being kept in the darkas to whether the game will launch this yearor 2025....
I didn’t even realise there were elves inDragon’s Dogma 2. I thought they were implemented into the world in the same way dwarves are: through one NPC hinting at a wider mythos, but a race not explored in any more meaningful manner. In fairness, that was a good assumption to make, seeing asthe relationship between man and beastren is incredibly shallow. I didn’t bother doing the elf’s quest in Vernsworth. I gave him a bow I found on my journey, but then he wanted to practise with me....
Summary When Dunkey first revealed he would be going into video game publishing, there was a mixed reaction. WithAnimal Well, the first game published under his company Big Mode, hitting 90+ on Metacritic, it would be safe to say he had proved the doubters wrong. And in doing so, he has inspired a little bit of soul-searching over hot button issues within gaming. My own reaction was mixed in and of itself, writing my thoughts under the headline ‘Dunkey’s Indie Game Publisher Is Arrogant And Short-Sighted - I Hope It Works’....
