Ho, wasteland packmules and sticky-fingered ornithologists! Embark have released a sizeable Arc Raiders update. Titled Flashpoint, it introduces a new shotgun, SMG and deployable together with a Close Scrutiny map condition, a fresh breed of Arc enemy, some cosmetic bundles, and a feeding boost for Scrappy the loot chicken, which will cause him to dig up a wider variety of more valuable items. As warned, they’ve also permitted all those awful Shredder things from Stella Montis to infest the other maps. The most welcome changes and additions could be the furtive “quality-of-life” adjustments. For example, if you have a custom…

Well, that’s certainly a bold strategy. Mark Gerhard, CEO of MindsEye developers Build a Rocket Boy, has said that the studio are indeed planning to add a new mission to the game which will “share some of the evidence of the sabotage”. That’d be the sabotage from a malevolent third party which the exec’s been alleging MindsEye faced around launch for a while now, with Gerhard also claiming that an investigation into it is currently in the hands of “authorities” in the UK and US.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie ending is seriously powered-up, so you’d be forgiven if much of it flew by like a portly plumber being propelled out of a Sling Star.The sequel to 2023’s Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie takes to the stars for galactic adventure to save Princess Rosalina from the clutches of Bowser Jr. For fans of the classic 2007 3D platformer, much will be familiar, but the movie also incorporates elements from across Mario and wider Nintendo history, even incorporating crossover characters like Fox McCloud, from the Star Fox series.As such, there’s a lot…

I’m a sucker for great atmosphere, and Ghostwire: Tokyo is a brilliant example of how to nail it. Set in modern-day Tokyo, but crowded with creatures from Japanese folklore, the darkness of the night allows every step through the typically busy streets to feel tense and uneasy. It’s an action-adventure title injected with some of the best horror game elements, making it accessible for those who don’t like franchises like Silent Hill or Resident Evil – and that’s exactly why you should give it a try, now that it’s cheaper than ever. In Ghostwire: Tokyo, you play as Akito, who,…

As a longtime Warrior of Light, I’ve clocked over 5,000 hours in Final Fantasy 14 – and, yes, I’d benefit from touching grass. Hundreds of those hours have gone into hardcore raiding, while hundreds more have been spent tending to my cozy virtual home in the Lavender Beds. Since the ill-received Dawntrail expansion dropped, though, I’ve felt myself losing interest in Eorzea and all its previously enthralling charms.With “Mostly Negative” reviews nearly two years post-launch, the DLC failed to pull me in (and apparently, many others) the same way its predecessors did – but my MMO fatigue may have found…
