Destiny 2 comes to an end on Tuesday June 9, with the launch of the Moment of Triumph update. Bungie promises that the FPS will remain live and playable for the foreseeable future, with changes planned “to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.” That overhaul will be its final ‘content update,’ however, and the decision once again calls into question the very nature of the live-service format, and the inherent inevitability of loss that it perpetuates. Rather than get locked into the negatives, however, I want to take a moment to embrace what…
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight has hundreds of collectibles to pick up across its 22 main missions and its large open-world Gotham, but some of the most valuable are the 23 Red Bricks.Each of the Red Bricks grants a new colour scheme for the 101 costumes you can collect for Batman and his partners, essentially multiplying the number of new looks you can use to flaunt your style on the streets of Gotham.That makes Red Bricks valuable, and that’s why they’re often hard to find. In this guide, we’re breaking down where to find every Red Brick in…
Mortal Kombat 2's original death scene for Liu Kang was a lot more violent, but "the audience hated it"
Liu Kang was seemingly one of the main casualties in the bloody sequel Mortal Kombat 2. After fighting Shao Kahn, he was dealt a fatal wound before his body transformed into flames. However, there was a level of vagueness surrounding his passing in the film as he didn’t become a corpse, leading us to wonder if he could return at some point.Now it turns out that his death was originally a lot more definitive, rather than being left open-ended. Speaking on Brandon Davis’ podcast, actor Ludi Lin says there were a whole bunch of different endings discussed for his character.…
Dang, I can't hang with the Wang in Zero Parades, so ZA/UM's thought violation gun won't stop going bang
I’ve been a super sorry spy again. THAT’S AGAINST YOUR AGREEMENT, Mr Wang shouts in text form, subsequently yanking away the bonuses afforded to me by my decision to adopt the Wang way. I didn’t think working the Wang into my thang would be this stressful, to be honest.

Does Luke Skywalker appear in The Mandalorian and Grogu? One Star Wars fan thinks so.Way back in 2020’s The Mandalorian season 2, Luke Skywalker answered Grogu’s call to the Jedi on Tython and arrived in the nick of time to rescue the youngling from Dark Troopers and whisk him off to Jedi school. But, in The Book of Boba Fett, Grogu chose to leave his Jedi training to reunite with Mando – and, since then, we haven’t seen Luke Skywalker again.But, in The Mandalorian and Grogu, one Star Wars fan might have spotted a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo from the last Jedi…
"You build a little squad of allied characters": Warhammer Survivors spin on bullet heaven brings a lovely touch of chaos to the battlefield
Bullet heaven games can already be fairly chaotic. Starting with Vampire Survivors, it’s a genre that joyously fills your screen with thousands of enemies and tasks you with somehow killing them all before they reach your character in the centre. While Warhammer Survivors treads much of the same ground of Poncle’s original, there is a small mechanical twist at its centre that adds a meaningful extra drip of chaos to the action. Rather than control a single character, as you pick up weapons, you assemble a small squad, all of whom act independently of you. Read moreAuroch Digital,RPG,PS5,PC,Bird view /…
Mega Crit is now dropping Slay the Spire 2 patch notes every other week, giving it more time between updates to consider possible moves. The first set of changes in this new cycle is now here, and it makes me a lot more terrified. Several notable enemies that I’ve never really been scared to run into, including the Infested Prism and new Act Three boss Aeonglass, now have the potential to completely halt a run in its tracks. Fortunately, all five characters have also been given some love, with Ironclad buffs leading the charge. This new Slay the Spire 2…

I got sick of downloading controller software on PC, so I tried one that has it built into its on-board screen instead
I’m in the very fortunate position that I review gaming controllers for a living, but all of them today have their own dedicated companion software, so it means I’m constantly downloading new PC apps to help me test all of their features. I’m going to be honest, things are getting pretty silly. More than one brand I can think of has multiple different applications for all of its controllers. So one bit of GameSir software that works with one of its controllers might not with another. The best PC controllers certainly get a lot out of companion software like this,…
