Kotaku Thursday, November 24, 2022 9:00 AM  We've already covered a huge number of the serious issues with The Pokémon Company's new Pokémon TCG Live, the replacement for the decade-old digital way to play the card battler, Pokémon TCG Online.

PCGamesN Thursday, November 24, 2022 9:52 AM  What is the GTA podium car this week? GTA Online vehicles are expensive things, so we're happy to take a spin on the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel to get a discount. Winning isn't guaranteed, sure, but it isn't out of the question either. Look, we don't have a problem - leave it alone. Finding out what the GTA Online podium car is simple enough - it's winning it that's the challenge. You can spin the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel once a day, and each Podium Car refreshes after seven days on a Thursday. Basically, you have seven shots to get the vehicle of that given week. If you own a Penthouse, you can spin it for free, but if you don't it's $500 a spin. Don't fret if you don't win, as you can try for something else. You have a one in 20 chance of getting the podium vehicle, a car discount, or a mystery prize. There's a four in 20 chance of getting clothes, chips, and cash. Finally, there's a five in 20 chance of getting RP. On that note, here's everything you need to know about this week's GTA podium car. RELATED LINKS: GTA 5 mods, GTA 6, Buy GTA V |

PCGamesN Thursday, November 24, 2022 7:05 AM  Excited to find out who made it onto the Street Fighter 6 roster? While the Street Fighter 6 release date is penciled in for 2023, Capcom has plenty of time to announce a few more surprises to the roster. Looking back to older games in the series, Street Fighter 4 launched with 25 characters, but the lacklustre Street Fighter 5 featured just 16 characters on day one. Capcom appears to be learning from its past mistakes, so we're hoping for a large roster this time around. In a surprising turn of events, Capcom has announced every character joining the Street Fighter 6 roster ahead of the game's launch next year at TGS 2022.

PCGamesN Thursday, November 24, 2022 6:19 AM  We are expecting the next Valorant Night Market to be announced any day now, which will add another three weapon skins to the pool just ahead of Episode 5, Act 3. The Valorant Night Market takes place once every Valorant act, and offers players their own unique option of six weapon skins for purchase at a reduced price. The skins you are offered for your weapons will be random based on those you don't already own. Of course, Valorant weapon skins don't offer any competitive advantage, but looking cool and giving your opponents something pretty to look at as you dominate them in the FPS game offers its own advantage. With anything from seasonal skins, to colourful patterns and intimidating designs for most Valorant guns and blades, there's bound to be something you like in the next Valorant Night Market.

PCGamesN Thursday, November 24, 2022 5:22 AM  Want Tower of Fantasy codes? If you're a fan of popular anime games such as Genshin Impact, you may have already heard of Tower of Fantasy. It ticks all of the same open-world game boxes, with the key difference being that it's set in the future rather than in a fantasy setting. Much like the game that heavily inspired it, Tower of Fantasy has plenty of codes you can use to unlock free stuff. In addition to the currently available Tower of Fantasy codes, there is a Tower of Fantasy battle pass that you can complete via weekly tasks which unlock merit points. The rewards here are similar to items you can get for redeeming codes, but you can also get freebies by claiming level packs, which are free so long as you spend time progressing through the game. However, if you want to get new items by just entering codes, read on. RELATED LINKS: Tower of Fantasy codes, Tower of Fantasy characters, How to level up in Tower of Fantasy |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 24, 2022 9:52 AM  Like many free-to-play live service games these days, Overwatch 2 loves its skins. Occasionally though, Blizzard stumble with their cosmetic offerings, rather like they've tripped over an invisible dog. Players have been taking to Twitter and Reddit to voice their irritation with support hero Moira's rather uninspired new legendary skin, based on the classic black and white look of mime artists everywhere. Just like mime artists themselves, it's not very popular. |

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is by far my favourite gaming headset of 2022, the one I employ right now for everyday use, and as part of Amazon's early Black Friday sales is down to £100.

Technical artist Charlie Banks has popped the base-building app up on NexusMods, and has used it to create a massive robot that looks a little like the Iron Giant squatting down. Banks compares the base-building app's simplicity to Oskar Stålberg's procedurally generated hamlet-crafter Townscaper, although it seems a bit more complicated than that game. |
