Often underrated despite their massive importance, the world's best goalkeepers might not be able to win matches on their own, but they can make sure you're walking off the pitch with a clean sheet.
In FIFA 22, Goalkeepers have been buffed to stem the huge flow of goals we saw in last year's game, making a solid goalie an even more powerful pickup for your career mode roster.
While it's still the same old names at the top of the tree - you don't need us to tell you Jan Oblak, Manuel Neuer, and Gigi Donnarumma are good, right - there are a few hidden gems to uncover across the best leagues in Europe and beyond.
Whether you're more into catenaccio or the gegenpress, defending is at the heart of any successful FIFA 22 team.
The rock in the middle of that defence is a powerful centre back, capable of breaking up play and setting up counterattacks with ease. While full-backs and more often wing-backs are the most fashionable position in football, covering a huge amount of ground between offensive and defensive transitions.
Across Europe's top 5 leagues - and world football in general - it's often said there's a dearth of top-quality defenders, with the game currently in a particularly attacking strategic phase.
Square Enix's TGS 2021 show just wrapped up, and one of the bigger highlights has been a new trailer for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. Outside of showing off a new slice of gameplay, the trailer also revealed the game's release date.
The Team Ninja-developed action RPG arrives March 18 on PC (EGS), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The game appears much more polished in this new gameplay. Colours in particular pop more, and the image overall is sharper.
Part of that is because one of the new areas shown is inspired by the Sunleth Waterscape from Final Fantasy 13, but you can definitely see a big boost in characters and environmental detail.
Anime Battle Arena is a Roblox game by Dogs Studios: South in which you fight against a bunch of enemies as various characters from animes. Unfortunately, there is no way to redeem codes in Anime Battle Arena at the moment, as the developers haven't added the feature to the game. Whether or not the developers will […]

Update (Fri 1st October, 2021): As a friendly reminder, Nintendo's 'Blockbuster' sale is coming to an end this weekend. The deals will remain live on the eShop until Sunday 3rd October at 23:59 your local time in Europe, or 23:59 PT in the US. Consider this your final warning, and happy shopping!
Original Article: Nintendo has announced a mighty Blockbuster Sale for Nintendo Switch, discounting lots of popular games by as much as 75%.
Thunderful Publishing has announced that Firegirl: Hack 'n Splash Rescue will be heating things up on the Switch eShop this winter, with a 14th December release date now confirmed.
The game, which also launches on PlayStation, Xbox and PC on the same day, will have you taking on the role of a firefighter who must respond to procedurally generated fires taking place across the city. Your job is to save all the people (and cats) that you can, but you'll only have three minutes to pull it off. Better be quick!
Ahead of the game's launch later this month, Koei Tecmo has released a brand new trailer for Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water (or Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water as it's known in Europe), diving deep into the lore surrounding Mt. Hikami.
As anyone who played the original on Wii U will know, the game has you taking on the role of three different characters who are busy exploring the Hikami mountain. If you love nothing more than chilling ghost stories and other mysterious phenomena, make sure to give the new trailer a watch and feel those hairs rise up on the back of your neck.
Lost in Random tells a story of two sisters, Even and Odd, who inhabit a fantastical storybook world of woollen chess pieces and steampunk teapots and the like. They're separated by the Queen in accordance with a draconian tradition that sees children roll a dice on their twelfth birthday to determine their station for the rest of their life. When Odd is whisked away, Even sets off to find her, befriending as she goes a magical dice named... Dicey.
The world is structured in six realms — linked to the faces of the dice — from Onecroft, the lowliest of the low, to Sixtopia, representing a fantasy life of luxury with the Queen. Even starts off in Onecroft and set off to find Odd in Sixtopia, passing in turn through Two-Town, Threedom, etc. The gateways between realms can be opened only when you have enough pips on your dice, and those are acquired by completing quests in the world as you explore. In the course of traversing the towns to find and complete these quests, you encounter battles.
Tokyo Game Show is proving to be rather fun so far, and the latest stream to grace our screens is from SEGA and Atlus; better yet, it's promising a 'new SEGA RPG'. As this is SEGA, too, there's every chance the presentation will have some bonkers moments.
It kicks off at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm BST / 3pm CEST, so grab a beverage and a comfy seat for the show!
For those who didn't play the original, the Pokétch was a device on the bottom screen of the DS that was basically like a pocket Pokémon Palm Pilot Smartwatch, with a calculator, a clock, and various apps that would help you become the very best, like no one ever was.
Hey everyone, we've been rolling out some new maps and modes in Destruction AllStars over the past few months and it's been fantastic to see the community's reaction to the new content along with all the carnage and destruction in the arena*!
Square Enix has provided its fans with a number of new trailers for their upcoming video game lineup at this week's Tokyo Game Show 2021. One of the new trailers is for the promising, but oddly named, upcoming strategy title Triangle Strategy, which is listed as a Nintendo Switch exclusive. Triangle Strategy leads you through […]
Square Enix has certainly been keeping things interesting with some unique new games. The latest is Dungeon Encounters, a single-player dungeon exploration RPG that was just announced at Tokyo Games Show.

The Touryst, first released on Switch in 2019 and Xbox in 2020, has finally made its way over to PS4 and PS5. But the PS5 port of this tropical, adventure-filled puzzler carries a special distinction: It's the first 8K/60 FPS console game ever officially released. But don't go rushing out to buy an 8K TV just yet.
"You are a little mouse with a sword! And you really hate crystals!" Is how I would pitch Beast Breaker if I were in a loud bar and a mysterious stranger asked me for a game recommendation. This has not happened to me yet, but maybe it will someday.
Are you looking for the Legend or Master Lost Sector locations in Destiny 2? While many Destiny 2 Exotics can be bought from Xûr or even in the world loot pool, the Exotics in these special Lost Sector instances cannot, forcing players to explore these dangerous areas if they want the best equipment available. To make matters worse, you have to complete them on your own to get a chance at the best rewards.
Before you can take on Legend Lost Sectors, you need to complete all the normal Lost Sectors first. If you don't, the new Legend Lost Sectors will not appear on the map. There are two quests per day in which the location, modifiers, and rewards rotate out for something new. The location for the Legend Lost Sector quests appear with the daily reset at 5pm UTC.
It's important to remember that Exotic drops are not guaranteed after completing these quests, so you may have to run through the same Lost Sector multiple times. You can go through them quests with a fireteam, but your rewards will be reduced to Enhancement Cores only.
I immediately fell in love with Strange Horticulture when I played the demo, and now I've had a few hours with a longer, more polished preview build I am even more in loverer. I do not understand why this is not everyone's most anticipated game ever. Imagine if all the horrible shouting griefers playing war games put down their weapons and picked up a strange plant and a taxonomic tome. What a world that would be! Certainly a world with more plant shops, anyway, though probably not (m)any as strange as Strange Horticulture.
You inherit this shop, along with its secrets, a folding map of the area to go exploring, and shelves of odd plant specimins. Sometimes it is raining. It is a real October vibe. There is a strange mystery, involving cultist and murder - a stranger in a beautiful jade mask comes to the shop, sometimes, as well as the detective struggling to solve a number of troubling murders in the area. But what care I for that? I am deep role-playing as a horticulturalist.
Desperate to find out how to get unstuck in New World? It's always a good thing when developers add an "unstuck" feature into their game - particularly a sprawling MMORPG like New World where getting your character stuck in bits of landscape is more common than you might think. Fortunately, it is possible to get unstuck in New World, and this quick walkthrough will explain how to do it.
Spin-offs are dead handy. You take an established character that's already known, stick them in a new environment full of fresh characters, and you've got yourself a Frasier. Bingo bango, job's a goodun. It's a format that's done the business in television, so no wonder video games have followed suit.
Wondering how to transfer your character to a different server in New World? Amazon's titanic MMORPG New World is full to bursting with players across its various servers and realms, but as with all such games, some servers are going to be more preferable to certain players than others. Whether it's about dodging long wait times and lag, or just joining the same realm as your friends, most players want to know sooner or later about character transfers and how they work.
Read on to find out how and when you can transfer your character over to another server in New World.
Square Enix today announced new game Dungeon Encounters, and surprise, it's launching in only a fortnight. The dungeon crawler is directed by Hiroyuki Ito, who directed Final Fantasy VI, IX, and XII, as well as creating the Active Time Battle system. Some other FF veterans are onboard too. But more important than all that is: along with all manner of warriors, possible party members include a giant cat named Sir Cat, a dog holding a sword in its mouth, and a hamster. Yes, thanks.
Over time, Fortnite has delivered a range of crossovers. Already, Season 8 has seen a new crossover with Venom, with in-game store bundles. In addition, the Carnage skin and related cosmetics appear on the Season 8 battle pass. To unlock Carnage, you must unlock the final page of the battle pass and use your battle stars to purchase each reward. Now, Epic Games has added another familiar face to the island. The American golf player Bryson DeChambeau now has his own bundle in Fortnite. By winning eight times on the PGA Tour, including a major championship, DeChambeau is a prominent figure in the golfing scene. The bundle celebrates a talented player and the skin will definitely attract the eye of avid golf fans. This is not the first time Epic Games has added sports personalities into the battle royale either. Previous seasons saw the release of Lebron James and Neymar Jr. skins, for example. The contents of the Fortnite Bryson DeChambeau bundle The bundle itself includes four...
I want to love when new firefighting games come out. It all started with Human Entertainment's The Firemen, a top-down SNES game where you played as, you guessed it, firemen that charged into burning buildings. Not counting that game's sequel, nothing has hit the same highs since. After taking a single look at Firegirl: Hack 'n Splash Rescue, my hopes were, ahem, rekindled. It's an upcoming 2.5D firefighting game where you play as a firefighter, and the demo is about to make landfall. I got to check out the Firegirl demo early and I was quite surprised by what I found in the preview. Firegirl's titular heroine is the daughter of a famous firefighter, renowned at the fire department at which she starts working. For whatever reason, her exploits are watched by fans, who are represented by a number in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Sometimes they cheer. They also donate money to you after missions. The demo begins with Firegirl arriving at the fire...

Perhaps Nintendo's biggest failure is the Virtual Boy, released in 1995. But it's also one of the company's most interesting pieces of hardware. Let's look at its history, shall we?
If you're a music fan, and you probably are since you're a human, you've probably come to grips with the sense that somehow the music you grew up with felt different, maybe even better, than modern music. It's tempting to bin those suspicions under nostalgia. But a few years ago, I watched the Thoughty2 video […]
Does it seem fair that your average Lord of the Rings Online goblin, who can barely afford a rusty tin axe on his weekly salary of fish guts, finds himself assailed by a righteous hero bearing an über-powerful sword that's so fancy it's got its own name? It doesn't feel fair to the goblin, we'll […]
We're guessing the engineers at Amazon Games aren't getting much sleep right about now. Since the launch of New World on Tuesday, the servers have been slammed with the typical big MMO launch problem: not enough room for the huge numbers of people trying to play. And they are indeed huge numbers; the latest record […]
I consider Half-Life: Alyx played in VR to be one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had but for a lot of people it's just not possible and so the No VR Mod is in progress.
For whatever reason some cannot use VR be it due to price, physical ability and more. But if you still want to be able to experience the story first-hand you're currently a bit stuck. There are a few hacky mods floating around to enable mouse/keyboard support but they're all really quite rough. The No VR Mod looks like a different breed though, with smooth movement and it all just looks good.
Modder SoMNst has been working with Optimus97, Quackson and Nicklaus on it and they've recently provided a new video to show it off that you can see below (obvious spoiler alert!):
I have this Bose sound system which is connected to a Windows Gaming Laptop, via bluetooth. The device is paired properly but it is not emitting any sound. I am not sure what is actually happening. has anyone faced any similar kind of issue before? Please let me know your thoughts.
