Quick Links Dave the Diverfeatures an ever-changing layout when it comes to the Great Blue Hole, meaning that each day you dive, you might find specific locations in slightly different areas. Generally, as a rule of thumb, there is a rough area in which the most important locations appear, but that doesn’t mean they’re always easy to find. The Limestone Cave, also known as the Stalactite Cave, is an area you’ll want to visit for specific ingredients, but where exactly is it?...

For example, the likes of Game of Thrones and The Witcher have managed to become household names.

MyPS3was in semi-regular use for far longer than any other console I’ve ever owned. I first got it in 2007, and I last trotted it out a few years ago to playMetal Gear Solid. It was the console I played most in middle school, as I got into theUnchartedgames. It remained number one throughout high school as each newCall of Dutycame out. In college, it was myNetflixmachine When I got back into the hobby after school, it was the vessel for big games I had missed, likeThe Last of Us....

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has an intriguing, in-depth character creator. I’ve seen some great characters and Pawns created – albeitfar too many Targaryens– but I’ve also seen how incredibly limiting the tool can be. While you can customise your Arisen’s face down to the last freckle, you can morph yourself into anyone from Khal Drogo to Baron Harkonnen (I’ve seen both), there are just two species to choose from. This isn’t a problem with the game, far from it....
