     The best Tycoon games to play in 2022

Looking for some of the best tycoon games to add to your collection? Whether you're looking for classic park management, or a complex, nuanced business simulation game, there are plenty of great options to choose from right now, across a range of themes. This is a classic genre that's had plenty of love since its early days, with sequels and new blood galore.

While there are plenty of classic tycoon games we could talk about - many of which actually have 'tycoon' in the name - we've decided to focus on modern highlights, as this is a genre that's constantly getting new releases and new ideas. We've also kept the definition relatively broad, as there are plenty of games that you may not consider strictly 'tycoon' games, but have strong business or economic themes with the mechanics to back them up.

     Resident Evil Village DLC to feature 20 unlockables in The Mercenaries

More than a year after it was announced at E3 2021, Capcom is soon set to release its Resident Evil Village DLC featuring a coda to protagonist Ethan Winters' storyline titled Shadows of Rose, a third-person mode, and an update The Mercenaries game mode that lets players play as Chris Redfield, Karl Heisenberg, or Lady Dimitrescu. The expansion's director says players will be able to access 20 unlockables in The Mercenaries Additional Orders, which includes stages and abilities. And, while the team had to shrink one of its most popular characters just a little bit to make them playable in game, Resident Evill Village fans will still be able to play as a 9-foot-tall furniture-thowing Lady D in one the best horror games for PC in 2022.

     The best clicker games and idle games on PC in 2022

What are the best clicker games and idle games in 2022? There are some interesting connotations that come along with clicker games. Also known as 'incremental' or 'idle' games, the name betrays certain expectations: click your mouse, get a tiny reward, and repeat until you can make the process more efficient and lucrative like a lab rat pulling away at levers until it gets a tasty food pellet.

In most cases, there's a snowball effect that accompanies your progress that makes your clicks more productive, hence the "incremental" moniker. There are also many games that operate automatically even when you're not playing, which justifies the "idle" nickname. Clicker games manage to distil high-complexity concepts down into a series of single clicks and automation. It's an interesting concept that is ripe for study, and really makes you think about what makes a game, a game.

     All Overwatch 2 ranks in order and comp points explained

Whether you're new to Blizzard's hero shooter or a grizzled returning veteran, the Overwatch 2 ranks system for competitive will probably be a little unfamiliar and confusing at first sight. New account holders will also have to do a little grinding first to unlock competitive modes, which is probably a good thing unless you want to get bashed around in your first dozen matches.

There are two Overwatch 2 competitive modes you can choose from once you've unlocked ranked: classic Open Queue where you can choose any hero in any role, or the more comp-friendly Role Queue, in which you choose a role to queue for as part of a set team composition. Effectively, Open Queue is pure mayhem and Role Queue is actually competitive. Thankfully, both modes have their own associated ranks, so you don't need to engage with Open Queue at all if you don't want to.

The best FIFA 23 midfielders will help take your career mode team to new heights thanks to their ability in the middle of the pitch. Whether you're playing as Manchester City or Rochdale, the right midfielder will make a world of difference.

     Overwatch 2 role queue explained

Want to know more about Overwatch 2 roles? Blizzard made the decision to implement the role lock system right from the start of Overwatch 2. Instead of having players pick any character at the beginning of each game and hope they form a cohesive team, the role lock system ensures each team has some form of structure.

This tweak has introduced a number of Overwatch 2 changes to several heroes, including some characters being completely redefined as they switch to a brand new role. The current role structure on each team consists of two DPS, two support, and one tank. If you're new to the different Overwatch 2 roles, you might want to know how the roles work in this multiplayer game.

You'd think that releasing the official Steam Deck dock eight months after the handheld it supports might bring about a sigh of relief, but instead we're all questioning why it has such a lofty price tag attached - especially when plenty of third-party USB hubs have filled the void in the meantime. Its only saving grace aside from the Valve stamp of approval is its specific selection of ports, but now Jsaux has followed up with a near identical version and it's much cheaper.

Want to know when the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 5 release date is? Leaks and spoilers for the battle royale game don't tend to happen for new seasons until a few weeks beforehand, so it's likely going to be a while before we get a bigger picture. One thing we know for sure is roughly when the new season begins.

However, with the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 5 release date being several weeks away, all we have right now are some speculative thoughts. Historically, the most significant hints come directly from Donald Mustard, Chief Creative Officer at Epic Games, as his tweets in the past hinted at Brie Larson's involvement in the latest season premiere and the Star Wars collab from last season. So far, he's not said anything of note, but here's what others are speculating about next season.

one piece film red

As of October 3, 2022, One Piece Film: Red is well on its way to breaking all-time box office records. It has made over 16.2 billion yen ($116.24 million), and is still consistently in the top ranking at Japanese box offices. For reference, the movie came out on August 6, 2022. In commemoration of the film's upcoming North American release, Toei Animation has promoted One Piece Film: Red in New York.

As of the time of writing, One Piece Film: Red is in eleventh place on the all-time box office rankings in Japan. It is just behind Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which has a gross revenue of 17.3 billion yen. Other animated films higher in the ranking include Princess Mononoke, Frozen, Spirited Away, and Demon Slayer: Mugen Train.

Coinciding with New York Comic Con 2022, Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates made a grand splash in the Big Apple. On October 6, 2022, NYCC had an exclusive premiere screening at AMC Lincoln Square 13, with 450 attendants filling it to capacity. Aside from a screening, there was also a panel for One Piece Film: Red at Comic Con. Around 4,500 fans were present. Panelists included key staff from Toei Animation and members of the English voice cast.

Those who could not attend Comic Con but were in New York also had the chance to witness an hour-long ad takeover campaign in Times Square. On October 8, 2022, multiple digital billboards in the famous New York Times Square displayed videos of Luffy, the Straw Hat Pirates, and Uta. The ads started with a countdown before showing several key moments from the anime.

One Piece Film: Red will appear in theaters in North America from November 4, 2022.

Most players have tried one at some point or another, and likely enjoyed mashing buttons to see which of their friends would emerge victorious. The unfortunate truth about fighting games is that as the arcade scene has diminished over the years, and outsiders looking in may have assumed that the fighting game scene is facing a similar decline. However, that couldn't be further from the truth: the future of fighting games has never looked brighter. Now, more than ever, there are a range of fantastic-looking fighting games on the horizon, and each one has the potential to push the genre forward in exciting new directions.

The developer introduced two new weapons, the BP50 assault rifle and, on October 6, the Lienna 57 light machine gun. By using the best attachments, you can build a viable Lienna 57 class to take to your next Warzone Pacific match. Before you can begin building your class, you must unlock the Lienna 57 by completing a challenge. Here, you are tasked with earning 15 long-range kills, so it shouldn't be too difficult to complete. As you level up the weapon, you will gain access to all the attachments you need to create a strong build. The compact nature of this light machine gun results in it functioning more like an assault rifle. As the Lienna 57 has some recoil, this class will predominantly focus on reducing its impact, so you can pick off your opponents with ease.   Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific best Lienna 57 class Muzzle: MX Silencer Barrel: Frei 432mm Shrouded Stock: Wenger ...

     The best FIFA 23 midfielders to sign in career mode

The best FIFA 23 midfielders will help take your career mode team to new heights thanks to their ability in the middle of the pitch. Whether you're playing as Manchester City or Rochdale, the right midfielder will make a world of difference. Picking out the best midfield options for your squad can be tricky but if you know where to look you can find some hidden gems in the football game and some star signings.

Thankfully, there are plenty of quality midfield assets in FIFA 23 career mode across the CDM, CM, and CAM positions at all price points that can add that extra bit of passing ability, work rate, and defensive stability to your team that is so sorely required to take your team to the top. These are the best midfielders in FIFA 23 to sign in career mode - though it's worth saying we've left out the really obvious choices like Kevin De Bruyne and Leon Goretzka, because everybody already knows about them.

     Overwatch 2 role queue explained

Want to know more about Overwatch 2 roles? Blizzard made the decision to implement the role lock system right from the start of Overwatch 2. Instead of having players pick any character at the beginning of each game and hope they form a cohesive team, the role lock system ensures each team has some form of structure.

This tweak has introduced a number of Overwatch 2 changes to several heroes, including some characters being completely redefined as they switch to a brand new role. The current role structure on each team consists of two DPS, two support, and one tank. If you're new to the different Overwatch 2 roles, you might want to know how the roles work in this multiplayer game.

     Jsaux clones the official Steam Deck dock, proves it can be cheaper

You'd think that releasing the official Steam Deck dock eight months after the handheld it supports might bring about a sigh of relief, but instead we're all questioning why it has such a lofty price tag attached - especially when plenty of third-party USB hubs have filled the void in the meantime. Its only saving grace aside from the Valve stamp of approval is its specific selection of ports, but now Jsaux has followed up with a near identical version and it's much cheaper.

Stardew players who want to turn their farms into centrepieces for the spooky season can look no further than a new Stardew Valley mod called IdaIda's Witchy Scarecrows. The mod, which debuted just in time for Halloween, turns the farming game's 'vanilla' scarecrows into much more ornate decorations that players can use to add seasonal flair — while still keeping birds away from their crops.

     Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 5 release date speculation

Want to know when the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 5 release date is? Leaks and spoilers for the battle royale game don't tend to happen for new seasons until a few weeks beforehand, so it's likely going to be a while before we get a bigger picture. One thing we know for sure is roughly when the new season begins.

However, with the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 5 release date being several weeks away, all we have right now are some speculative thoughts. Historically, the most significant hints come directly from Donald Mustard, Chief Creative Officer at Epic Games, as his tweets in the past hinted at Brie Larson's involvement in the latest season premiere and the Star Wars collab from last season. So far, he's not said anything of note, but here's what others are speculating about next season.

     Best Warzone guns: the top weapons for Season 5 Reloaded

Want to know what the best Warzone guns are? Warzone Season 2 Reloaded completely changed the battle royale game by unifying the Vanguard Royale and Battle Royale playlists together. This means players no longer have to use Vanguard weapons if they own any of the guns from Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War.

Picking out the best Call of Duty Warzone weapons can be difficult, especially with over 100 different options to pick from across three games. The latest weapons added to the FPS game are usually underpowered to avoid them dominating the meta early on, but we highly recommend unlocking every weapon as early as possible. The Warzone Season 5 Reloaded update has drastically shaken up the meta, reintroducing a number of classic Modern Warfare and Cold War weapons with some aggressive balance changes.

     FIFA 23 TOTW 4 predictions: Foden, Modeste, and Dzeko

The FIFA 23 TOTW 4 predictions had to be a little bit more nuanced than the previous set of guesses, with only one hat trick being scored in the football game's top leagues. With that, the context of some players' performances, rather than the raw numbers, will no doubt justify their place in the Team Of The Week, as there was plenty of late drama in the biggest matches across Europe.

Manchester City didn't let off the accelerator at all this game week, running out 4-0 winners against Southampton. Erling Haaland only managed to net once during the game, falling short of the incredibly high standard he set as of late. A gutsy performance from Dortmund saw them come back from 2-0 down against serial Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich, with two players in particular potentially worth the inclusion in the Team Of The Week. Here is our predicted starting squad for the FIFA 23 TOTW 4.

     Tower of Fantasy tier list October 2022

Before we get started with this Tower of Fantasy tier list, it's important to clarify how the roster works exactly. Otherwise known as simulacra, Tower of Fantasy characters are largely cosmetic skins in this anime game. While it's possible to imbue these avatars with minor buffs via the awakening system, most of their skills and abilities are tied to the weapon they wield. Team composition in Tower of Fantasy is closer to a weapons loadout, and the best characters are actually the best Tower of Fantasy weapons.

However, for the purposes of this Tower of Fantasy tier list, we'll primarily be referring to the weapons you pull by the name of the simulacra that comes with them. This tier list also takes into account weapon advancements, which is what happens when you collect a duplicate of an SR or SSR simulacra. Some characters require weapon advancements to fully unlock their potential, while others don't. Without further ado, here is our Tower of Fantasy tier list.

What are the best football games on PC in 2022? It can seem tough to scratch that footballing itch, especially when there are only a few mainstream games that usually spring to mind. Sure, FM is the undisputed king of the football management game, but if you're interested in a more player-controlled affair, it's hard to argue with FIFA's excellent game-day presentation.

Whether they're an under-the-radar studio game, an indie title, or a mash-up on different sports, there's a football game for every fan. In order to shine a light on these underappreciated classics, we've compiled our favourites all in this handy list. So throw on your favourite retro football shirt and drawstring bag these FM alternatives for yourself. For the record, our favourite retro kit is the PCGN-brand Dutch national team jersey from 1976 - all comparisons to Johan Cruyff's footballing career are welcome.

     FIFA 23 RTTK players reveal includes Messi, Foden, and Aubameyang

The FIFA 23 RTTK players reveal has been released, giving some of the biggest names in football an opportunity for some huge upgrades - provided their team does the business in Europe. The Road To The Knockouts promo is all about the three European competitions in the football game: the Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League. Players who have received an RTTK special card have the potential to receive two upgrades - one if they win two of their remaining group games, and another if their team qualifies for the knockout stages.

Last year, the RTTK version of Bernardo Silva managed to reach a 90 OVR after Manchester City dominated their group, and with players such as Lionel Messi and City compatriot Phil Foden included this year, we could see those big overall ratings again. It's safe to say that if you manage to net yourself a RTTK player, it could set you up for the foreseeable future. Here is the full lineup of RTTK players, the added SBCs, and objectives:

     The best free VPNs for PC in 2022

If you want the benefits of a VPN, but don't have the room in your budget for another subscription, you'll probably be happy to discover the best free VPNs. There are a wealth of free options available from a wide range of providers, but it's worth keeping in mind that they won't be quite as robust as their paid counterparts.

Of course, before diving into the wonderful world of free VPNs, it's important to learn how each works before trusting it with your data. Naturally, even if a VPN is free, it still costs its provider money to run, so it's important to identify any potential hidden costs or caveats associated with seemingly free services. This includes agreeing to your gaming PC becoming an exit node for other users, intrusive browser ads, and the risk of your data being logged and sold to third parties.

That said, there are still free VPNs out there that can provide a great service without paying any high VPN costs. While you'll still need to pay to experience the best VPN subscription and all its intrinsic benefits, you should still be able to find a good balance between usability and security when using a free version of a VPN. We've got a good VPN for streaming here, and services that are well optimised for a number of different uses.

one piece film red

As of October 3, 2022, One Piece Film: Red is well on its way to breaking all-time box office records. It has made over 16.2 billion yen ($116.24 million), and is still consistently in the top ranking at Japanese box offices. For reference, the movie came out on August 6, 2022. In commemoration of the film's upcoming North American release, Toei Animation has promoted One Piece Film: Red in New York.

As of the time of writing, One Piece Film: Red is in eleventh place on the all-time box office rankings in Japan. It is just behind Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which has a gross revenue of 17.3 billion yen. Other animated films higher in the ranking include Princess Mononoke, Frozen, Spirited Away, and Demon Slayer: Mugen Train.

Coinciding with New York Comic Con 2022, Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates made a grand splash in the Big Apple. On October 6, 2022, NYCC had an exclusive premiere screening at AMC Lincoln Square 13, with 450 attendants filling it to capacity. Aside from a screening, there was also a panel for One Piece Film: Red at Comic Con. Around 4,500 fans were present. Panelists included key staff from Toei Animation and members of the English voice cast.

Those who could not attend Comic Con but were in New York also had the chance to witness an hour-long ad takeover campaign in Times Square. On October 8, 2022, multiple digital billboards in the famous New York Times Square displayed videos of Luffy, the Straw Hat Pirates, and Uta. The ads started with a countdown before showing several key moments from the anime.

One Piece Film: Red will appear in theaters in North America from November 4, 2022.

genshin impact bamboo soup

HoYoVerse has uploaded a recipe for Slow-Cooked Bamboo Shoot Soup as it appears in Genshin Impact. The title of the video is "Gourmet Tour: Liyue's Cuisine Collection Issue No. 1," which implies that more recipes for Liyue food will appear in the future. The video format combines the picture book style from the game and live-action.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwHoKErDdDU

In Genshin Impact, you can purchase the Bamboo Shoot Soup recipe from Verr Goldet. If you have Zhongli and you make him cook it, he can occasionally create Slow-Cooked Bamboo Shoot Soup. For those who legitimately want to give this recipe a try, HoYoVerse has not included written instructions in the description of the video. So you may have to look for a similar recipe online to get information on cooking times and the such.

Other Asian countries, such as Vietnam and Thailand, have their own takes on bamboo shoot soup. Because of the usage of cured pork, the Slow-Cooked Bamboo Shoot Soup in Genshin Impact is likely a variant of yanduxian. Yanduxian is a dish typically associated with Shanghai cuisine. Usually, it combines cured and fresh meat, which is what differentiates the Genshin Impact version from normal yanduxian.

Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. The second half of Version 3.1, which will bring Nilou and Albedo, will start on October 14, 2022.

ffxiv fan festival 2023 2024

Square Enix has announced the dates for three FFXIV Fan Festivals that will take place in 2023 and 2024. For fans who wish to go, these events will be in Las Vegas (USA), London (England), and Japan. More information on the Japanese event, such as which city will host the FFXIV Fan Festival, will appear in the near future.

The dates and precise locations for each Fan Festival are:

  • London: October 21 - 22, 2023
    ExCeL London
  • Japan: Early 2024
    Unknown

Because Japan's event is so far away, it is likely that Square Enix has not made reservations for conventions halls as of yet. Tickets are not yet available. This will be the first physical FFXIV Fan Festival since the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. It will feature in-person events such as live stage panels and concerts.

You can watch the announcement trailer here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plryox-p6SU

The last FFXIV Fan Festival was in 2021 and it was digital only. Even if you could not go, Square Enix released commemorative items such as the Lunar Whale mount. While prices may be different this year, the last time an in-person event happened, tickets cost $149.99 for both days. This included in-game items and a bag of merchandise.

Final Fantasy XIV is available on PS4, PS5, and Windows PC.

     Warzone Pacific How To Build The Best Lienna 57 ClassThe launch of Warzone Pacific Season Five Reloaded marked the final major update for the title. The developer introduced two new weapons, the BP50 assault rifle and, on October 6, the Lienna 57 light machine gun. By using the best attachments, you can build a viable Lienna 57 class to take to your next Warzone Pacific match. Before you can begin building your class, you must unlock the Lienna 57 by completing a challenge. Here, you are tasked with earning 15 long-range kills, so it shouldn't be too difficult to complete. As you level up the weapon, you will gain access to all the attachments you need to create a strong build. The compact nature of this light machine gun results in it functioning more like an assault rifle. As the Lienna 57 has some recoil, this class will predominantly focus on reducing its impact, so you can pick off your opponents with ease.   Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific best Lienna 57 class Muzzle: MX Silencer Barrel: Frei 432mm Shrouded Stock: Wenger ...

     Wild Hearts Preview (13)We've all heard of the Monster Hunter series and the Palicoes that made it famous, among other things. But what if you wanted that, but with more Fortnite? Well then, traveler, get your weapon and head into the untamed lands of Wild Hearts, an upcoming game of hunting giant critters in a fantasy feudal Japan. The land of Azuma is beset by trouble. Kemono — animals imbued by massive nature powers — are ruining the place. The larger types of kemono are dangerous not only due to their bulk, but also their terraforming powers, wreaking havoc with the environment as they try to make it more suitable for themselves. Only the Hunters in the Minato village can fight against this blight! In a nutshell, Wild Hearts is all about hunting to gain resources to get better gear to hunt ever larger prey. While some kemono are not much more special or dangerous than regular wildlife (if a little bigger), the small ones are only there as mobile resource points — it's the big ones t...

     Vanguard How To Build The Best Bp50 ClassCall of Duty: Vanguard Season Five Reloaded is here, and it's the final major update before the launch of Modern Warfare 2. As always, some new guns have joined the weapon pool. One of these weapons is an assault rifle named the BP50. By using the best attachments, you can build a viable BP50 class to take to your next Vanguard match. At first glance, you may recognize the BP50 as it resembles the F2000 from the original Modern Warfare 2. To get your hands on the assault rifle, you have to complete a challenge which requires you to earn 15 aim down sight kills with an ACOG scope equipped. You can then begin levelling up the gun to gain access to the attachments you need to create a strong loadout. This class will focus on improving the accuracy of the weapon, while bumping up the already fast fire rate.   Call of Duty: Vanguard best BP50 class Muzzle: Recoil Booster Barrel: Desmet 540mm PMH Stock: Leroy Custom Underbarrel: Charlier Ank Laser Magazine: 5.6mm 45 Round Mags Am...

     In 1991, Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge dropped a bonkers cliffhanger on fans that wouldn't ever get truly addressed. The man who created the series, Ron Gilbert, left Lucas Arts after the second game was released and with him, the exact plan for the story of Monkey Island was gone. But the series wouldn't end there - several more adventures would be released that tried to capture the magic of the first two, and all the while Ron Gilbert dreamt about getting to make a third game. That dream would take three decades and the Monkey Island IP going to Disney to come true. Made by Terrible Toybox with Gilbert at the helm, Return to Monkey Island is a triumphant resurgence for a beloved series.
