Kotaku Wednesday, June 28, 2023 9:00 AM  We recently ranked the mainline single-player Final Fantasy games, and noted just how much the series changed and experimented with its formula along the way. The series' propensity for reinvention is why people are so divided on what even defines a Final Fantasy game. |

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 28, 2023 9:14 AM  As well as being an avid gamer, I've worked in IT and cybersecurity for over 7 years, in roles in tech support, security consulting, and ethical hacking. Online privacy and security aren't just important to me, they've been the bulk of my career and I've seen the impacts of a lack of security first-hand. Lost data, stolen money, stolen identities – none of it is particularly fun. Thankfully, there are some simple, common-sense tools available that can make it just that much harder for an attacker or thief to make you their next mark. An extremely effective line of defense that anyone can implement into their gaming workflow is a Virtual Private Network (VPN). ExpressVPN is one of the best gaming VPNs available today, and as well as protecting your data, it can give you access to regional-exclusive content in video games as well as streaming services when you're on holiday. If you want to find out more about how the best VPN services like ExpressVPN work first, read our what is a VPN guide. We've also put together an ExpressVPN FAQ. I've been testing ExpressVPN for a little over two weeks for this review, but I have also been a previous customer of theirs for quite some time before this. Below, we'll help you to decide whether ExpressVPN is worth your money in 2023 (spoiler, yes it is).

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 28, 2023 9:01 AM  It's hard to write this AEW Fight Forever review without comparing present-day AEW as a company to how it was in the past. Not just because the game has video vignettes of abridged key moments in AEW's history but because of my personal consumption of professional wrestling. I've been in the audience to see AEW Dynamite in Long Island. I saw the spectacle of Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) crooning to the audience with a live band to celebrate - checks notes - himself.

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 28, 2023 8:58 AM  How do you disarm traps in Baldur's Gate 3? The world of BG3 is littered with dangers; you've got mad townsfolk, dragon-riding demons, and various sizes of flora and fauna ready to tear you limb from limb. The silent killer, however, is the humble trap - a hidden device that lies in wait for one of your party, snaring them, and most probably causing some serious damage. Thankfully, there is a way to disarm these Baldur's Gate 3 traps should you be able to detect them before they go off, but it depends on your Baldur's Gate 3 class, as some characters just don't have the perception or the sleight of hand to pull off the delicate activity. Get up to speed with traps before the Baldur's Gate release date to ensure you won't fall foul of the hidden killer when the time comes.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 28, 2023 9:58 AM  Indiescovery is recorded a week before we release it, and never has this small time delay been more apparant than in our latest episode. Last week the temperature in the UK was (pardon my french) bonkers boiling. As we are professionals we recorded this episode with all of our windows closed and our fans turned off in order to avoid any unwanted background noise. Choosing to do this while sat in a British house during a heatwave actually violates several human rights laws, and we've all since been arrested for crimes against ourselves. Oh, we also talk about our favourite indies from this year's Not-E3, which probably highlights the slight time delay more than the heat thing because in video game industry terms Not-E3 may as well have taken place 30 years ago. But listen, indie games are always relevant, aren't they? Plus I got to do a bit where I pretended to be a games executive in the intro so as far as I'm concerned it all worked out well in the end.

Well, I thought that until I played The Password Game, a free game you can play in your web browser.

Following certain accounts in HoYoLab gives you 100 for each one. You'll also get points for watching the 1.1 Special Program, and following the YouTube channel, Twitch, or Discord. You can get three entries for the contest draw, which features the mouse, what look like acrylic stands, and in-game Credits as a reward. Another part of the Mimo's Trailblaze Guide web event involves a Honkai: Star Rail regular check-in page.
