PCGamesN Sunday, January 15, 2023 11:54 AM  Bad Modern Warfare 2 spawns are always something you have to deal with in the frenetic, fast-paced fracas of the FPS game, but seeing a player die twice in one killcam emphasises just how awful they can be at times. Spawning in what feels like an unfair position has happened in all the Call of Duty games, and not even the best Modern Warfare 2 loadout can save you from situations where you are dropped in full view of the enemy.

PCGamesN Sunday, January 15, 2023 10:27 AM  League of Legends emotes are one of the most useful and fun ways to communicate with other players in the MOBA game, letting you add a little flair to your gameplay. They're a great way to encourage your friends and wind up your foes, as well as celebrate key moments in a match. It seems like they might be getting better soon, too, as Riot Games says it is "actively looking at the emote system" as it plans an overhaul to expand its implementation.

PCGamesN Sunday, January 15, 2023 10:23 AM  Some new Lies of P gameplay from AMD shows off part of the soulslike game in 8K resolution, with a terrifyingly intense boss fight there to close out the Pinocchio-inspired ARPG. So imagine, if you will, a boss fight that turns Bloodborne's Darkbeast Paarl into some sort of giant, mechanical, ape-like police puppet robot. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Upcoming PC Games, Best PC RPGs |
PCGamesN Sunday, January 15, 2023 10:14 AM  Looking for how to tame a horse in Minecraft? These tamable Minecraft mobs can be used as a handy way to explore new Minecraft seeds thanks to their zippy speed and ability to fit through single block openings. Minecraft horses can also climb hills, jump fences, and even swim in shallow water - making your pony pal the best mode of transport to explore. Once tamed, you'll be able to equip your Minecraft horse with armour and a saddle. Be sure to look out for your horsie in survival and adventure mode, as when riding your horse's health will need to be kept an eye on in case you stumble across some scavenging Minecraft phantoms. While you're riding your horse, you can use items as you usually would, this includes potions, weapons, or crafting an enchantment table or blast furnace. If you don't want to tame a new horse in Minecraft, you can breed your own by feeding two tamed horses to activate love mode - that's an official term, by the way - so they produce a foal. Foals can't be tamed until they're older, but can be fed to accelerate growth. Once your foal is all grown up, or if you're looking for how to tame a horse in Minecraft for the first time, read on.

PCGamesN Sunday, January 15, 2023 7:33 AM  After almost 25 years the original Fallout 2 from Black Isle Studios is being overhauled to include new voice-acted lines for already modded-in extra talking heads. The classic isometric RPG game still makes the rounds all these years later, with a free Fallout 2 FPS game available now for example, and this voice lines mod aims to combine with another to enhance the original Fallout 2 experience naturally. Hopefully this fills you up ahead of the Fallout 5 release date. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: How Fallout 2 defined the series, Best Fallout companions |
PCGamesN Sunday, January 15, 2023 6:18 AM  Dead Space Remake, from all the trailers and gameplay footage I've seen so far, looks remarkably faithful to the 2008 original. Meanwhile The Callisto Protocol, once touted as the unofficial successor to Dead Space, has met a mixed reception at launch. As you can read in our Callisto Protocol review, we were on the positive side of the critical split, but did recognise concerns about its story and performance issues. Is the pretender at risk of being outshone, once we hit the Dead Space Remake release date?

Now that these Squishmallow plush toys are popular, it means all sorts of crossovers. Pokemon and Sonic the Hedgehog characters already had their turn. Now, the latest assortment involves a Godzilla Squishmallow collaboration. Godzilla, Mothra, Mechagodzilla, and Rodan are all part of the initial four. After finding two a local store, I was pleasantly surprised to see how strong the likenesses are, as well as how friendly they look in this incarnation. Both the Godzilla and Mothra Squishmallows I picked up are part of the 8" toy line. This makes them a bit too small to use as an actual pillow, like the Pikachu variant. They're more of a decorative piece like a throw pillow or something to hug. (Both were a bit too tall to place on my normal stuffed animal shelf with some Animal Crossing and Story of Seasons plush, as they'd dominate the other two.) But they fit well on a desk or placed on my desk chair when I'm not using it. [gallery columns="2" size="full" ids="946941,946942" link="file"] The quality on both plush is rather nice. Each one is soft and well-made. Godzilla has a number of spines along his back, leading down to his tail. He also has a friendly, toothy smile to him. I'd say I was more impressed with Mothra, in terms of quality. There are so many different types of fabrics used, the eyes' material has a gradation to it. Plus, as a nod to being a giant moth, her stomach is quite fluffy. The only knock against her I'd say is that the wings could have been a bit bigger, as while displaying you can barely see them. The level of detail and extra attention to Mothra's design also means it is the more immediately recognizable of the two. Even without seeing the wings, anyone aware of Godzilla and the existence of these Squishmallows inspired by it would probably be able to tell who this is. Meanwhile, Godzilla can look a bit more like a generic dinosaur that happens to be the same color as Godzilla. Unless you turn it around and see the three rows of spines down the back, you might not catch which character it is. [gallery columns="2" size="full" ids="946939,946940" link="file"] I think what I appreciated most about it is just having a friendly sort of Godzilla toy. I grew up watching the older movies with my grandfather, but it seemed when I was a kid that most items involved plastic toys and figures that didn't appeal to me. Granted, now I do have a space decorated to such things, but getting an additional option, especially with Mothra being among the announced batch, meant a chance to get a sort of stuffed animal I'd have loved when younger. Both the Godzilla and Mothra Squishmallows are interesting options that essentially offer an extra option for people who want merchandise based on the series, but perhaps not more traditional items. Both are absolutely all-ages sorts of collectibles. They're a good size where they aren't obnoxiously large, but could be a nice accent on a couch or bed. Also, while Godzilla could be mistaken for some sort of unrelated, prehistoric creature, the likenesses are still generally good. Especially in the case of Mothra, who is quite distinctive. They're a fun extra option. The Godzilla 8" Squishmallow collection is now available, with Godzilla, Mothra, Mechagodzilla, and Rodan at places like Learning Express and Toydrops for $15-20.
