There are rumours a FUT 23 market crash could well be on the way once OTW drops in FIFA 23. A market crash happens in FIFA Ultimate Team when supply outweighs demand. New inform releases and promotions encourage gamers to buy more packs, flooding the market with players – which means prices drop. The FIFA 23 market is already seen a number of cards go down in price – meaning there are more people trying to sell their cards....

Real-time tactics just got a whole lot more “tentacly” thanks to Dog Duty going free-to-play for one week only. “Control a squad of misfits as they go up against some evil bigwig Octopus Commander and his army who are threatening world peace.” That’s how Dog Duty describes itself over on the Steam store page. That really tells you all you need to know about the plot, so we’re not going to be focusing too much of our time here....

Sometimes I struggle with new games, with new worlds, and I wonder if it’s just me. I struggle in the sense that I can feel myself resisting them and refusing to accept them. I can feel them pushing new things on me, new worlds full of people and history and problems, and I know how much they want me to care. But we’ve only just met; I don’t care. Just because I pressed “play” doesn’t mean I’m automatically invested in what’s going on....

Nobody really knows how to fully describe AMC drama Dispatches from Elsewhere…not even the person tasked with shepherding it. “My agent at the time read the script and was like, ‘This is crazy. Are you sure?’” showrunner Mark Friedman says. “And that was kind of what I liked about it. It’s a risk. What makes you nervous is what makes something appealing, at least to me.” Created by TV star Jason Segel, Dispatches from Elsewhere is indeed a bit of a risk....

To say the Arrancar get thoroughly stomped in the Bleach Thousand Year Blood war anime would be an understatement. Used to show off how much stronger the Quincies are, the once nearly unstoppable Hollow-born adversaries are made to look like ants beneath this new threat’s feet. One in particular – the third-ranked Tier Harribel – is even seen imprisoned by the Quincy leader Yhwach, only to never be shown again in the series....

Most characters change over time, and their visual designs reflect those changes. Whether they wear new outfits or look physically different, video game characters evolve to keep players interested. However, a lot of iconic characters don’t need changes: we love them exactly as they are. We’ll tolerate some alterations—particularly if those alterations look good. Unfortunately, some companies completely redesign characters and ruin their appearances. These changes sometimes stem from good intentions but often serve certain marketing approaches (such as making characters cool or attractive)....

During each of the last two E3s, developer Techland has showcased stuff regarding Dying Light 2.

Dying Light 2 is set to release this year, but a majority of the game is still a mystery. Even after multiple AMA videos from the game’s developer, Techland, there is still a lot we don’t know about the game. That’s all going to change soon though.

I’ve focused heavily on ranged weapons when I started playing Elden Ring. Granted, the class I chose already had one by default, which made acquisition moot. As for everything else beyond that, well, let’s just say that bosses loved to say cheese. Here’s our Elden Ring guide to help you get ranged weapons, like bows and crossbows, as well as ammo. Note: For more information, check out our Elden Ring guides and features hub....

The Epic Games Store is back once again with the Holiday Sale 2020 edition. If you fondly remember those $10 coupons it gave out last year with qualifying purchases, you’ll be pleased to know the same deal is back again. Better yet, the first one is free to claim if you just “purchase” a free game over the next 15 days. You can get Cities Skylines today, but any freebie will do....

While it is filled with complex mechanics, nothing justifies and compares to getting killed by a hacker. And that too in a competitive match. Even with all of your skills summed up, you cannot defeat a cheater with invincible hacks. But you can spot one to report him. So, here’s our guide on how to spot cheaters in Escape from Tarkov....

After almost two decades, MediEvil is back on home consoles, and longtime fans of the cult series couldn’t be happier. Other Ocean’s fantastic remake keeps all the charm and mechanical snappiness of the original, while sprucing it up and modernizing it for a whole new generation of players. All this time later, it’s a wonderful little game, brimming with charm and personality. But if you grew up playing the mess out of the original, you might be quick to pick up on a few key differences as this is much more than a simple retread....
