Tolkien's most important works, including Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

     GTA Online weekly update adds new car the Ruiner ZZ-8

The GTA Online weekly update for August 18 is live, and it adds new car the Imponte Ruiner ZZ-8 to the Grand Theft Auto 5 multiplayer mode. Also included in the update are two new smuggler freemode events, a huge boost to clubhouse contracts, and boosts to several race types in the open-world game including those on Cayo Perico island. We've got all the details right here ahead of Rockstar's official patch notes, expected to arrive a little later on.

The highlight for the week of August 18 is the new automobile addition, the Imponte Ruiner ZZ-8. Grand Theft Auto's spin on the iconic American muscle car the Pontiac Firebird - specifically the 30th Anniversary Trans Am released in 1999 - the Ruiner is a very sleek 2-door muscle car that will set you back a cool $1,320,000 in GTA money to add to your collection.

The Ruiner ZZ-8 can be found at the Luxury Showcase shop alongside sports car the Ocelot Pariah. On offer at Simeon's Showroom, meanwhile, are the Vapid Speedo, the Weeny Dynasty, the Vulcar Fagaloa, the Karin Sultan Classic, and the Impaler luxury muscle car. Also unlocked are a lovely new pair of Wild Striped Pool Sliders, if you want to round out the midlife crisis look in style.

     Roccat Kone XP Air review – great gaming mouse specs, rad RGB

The Roccat Kone XP Air gaming mouse is best described as a peripheral peacock. Don't get me wrong, the reliable rodent has impressive specs within its sleek, ergonomic shell, but its unique take on RGB is what helps it stand out among competitors like Logitech and Razer. If you're looking for a palm-sized light show, the XP Air might be the perfect clicker for you, even if it does come with a premium price tag attached.

     Starfield gameplay hopes dashed as Bethesda alters Gamescom plans

Starfield gameplay, as originally revealed at Summer Games Fest, has been picked apart and analysed from almost every possible angle, with fans eagerly anticipating a new Starfield gameplay trailer to offer more information on the space RPG. Originally, Gamescom 2022 seemed like it would provide some badly desired extra details, along with information about vampire FPS Redfall, but to fans' dismay, developer Bethesda seems to have had a change of plan.

     Choose your own destiny in open-world MMORPG Fractured Online

If there's one thing MMORPGs are best known for, it's grinding. Now, there's nothing terribly wrong with getting your grind on – there's a certain pleasure in walking to a good farming spot, stocking up on potions, and spending an hour or more clicking through enemies while your level dings up. But that approach isn't for everyone, leaving them unable to enjoy the more sociable side of MMOs as a result.

Enter Fractured Online, where grinding isn't the only way to improve your skills. In Fractured Online, knowledge is everything, and only by experiencing a wide variety of interactions and enemies in the world can you hope to become a powerful hero. With a huge skill tree available, your build – and your destiny – is yours to control.

But that's not the only cliche that Fractured Online does away with. Finding swords on the corpse of a ghost? Don't bet on it. Repetitive combat built around having the biggest sword with the highest damage? No chance. It's a new approach to a classic genre in so many ways.
