     Xbox creator says Activision sale will

Seamus Blackley, who spearheaded the development of the original Xbox and co-designed legendary PC games including System Shock, Flight Unlimited, and Jurassic Park Trespasser, says that the sale of Activision Blizzard to Microsoft will "torment" outgoing CEO Bobby Kotick. Explaining how he initially helped pitch Guitar Hero to Kotick, Blackley also describes how the Activision boss reportedly turned the idea down before purchasing the series years later, adding it to Activision's substantial gaming catalog, which also includes Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Diablo 4.

     Total War: PHARAOH gives fans exactly what they want

It's time to talk Total War: PHARAOH. If you're a big strategy fan or Total War veteran, this one has probably been on your radar for ages, so we thought we'd get into the finer details of what this latest installment in the popular franchise is all about. The Total War brand is legendary for good reason, with a nice balance of historical detail and gritty, tactical battles. Far more nuanced than just running headlong into battles, you'll also be tasked with managing a civilization, with all the political and diplomatic maneuvering that entails. Total War: PHARAOH contains a full campaign of tactical responsibilities in a game that looks set to evolve all we know about Total War.

Let me put you at ease. Endless Dungeon is a very splashy, confidently clever roguelike about spannering turrets, hosing bullets, and popping bugs like angry little pimples. It sounds disgusting when I type it out loud like that, so let's pivot to the reliable food analogy. It is a delicious game, a hearty stew. A tasty one-more-go-er, perfectly suited to serving up in these dreary autumn months. There. Now that you've been pacified by the imagery of a steaming bowl of pleasing dungeon gumbo, you will forgive the 400 words I have written below about doors.

     Fortnite Fncs Champions Mero And Cooper PosingMatthew "Mero" Faitel is the most recent winner of the Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS). As we remember with Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf, this means that he will have a very promising career in the game, and possibly a skin in the future. If you want to learn more about him, like his age, we've got some answers to commonly asked questions below. How old is Mero, the Fortnite FNCS winner? Mero was born on September 18, 2004, making him 19 years old. This may seem young, but is around the age we expect from these winners. For example, Bugha was 16 when he won, so it seems teen years are prime ages to win FNCS. How much did Mero win? The total prize money was 4 million dollars, but Mero was competing for the $1 million prize. Even after winning, Mero has to share half with Cooper "Cooper" Smith, his partner. So that means Mero won $500,000, which is no small sum. Related: How to unlock FNCS skins for free in Fort...

     Harvest Island Feature ImageIn Harvest Island, there are a lot of chores and tasks for you to busy yourself with. From building up the farm, to tending to the animals, there's scarcely a spare moment. One such task you'll be doing a lot of is fishing. You'll need the correct know-how to fish in the game, so let's get started. Here's how to fish in Harvest Island. What you'll need to fish in Harvest Island Before you can fish in Harvest Island, you'll need a few things. A fishing spot, bait, and the right tool for the job. For most fishing spots, you'll simply need a Fishing Pole, but for a certain spot, the Fishing Net is required. The pole is needed for the game, and the net less so, so for now craft the Fishing Pole. Screenshot: PC Invasion You'll simply need a few bits of string and a couple long sticks.

     Harvest Island Feature ImageIn Harvest Island, you will soon come across the God Statue on the coincidentally-named island: Harvest Island. Upon discovering this God statue, you'll find that it asks for Blue Starfish. You may discover this item by chance, but if you're not so lucky, it could prove difficult to locate. There are two ways to find Blue Starfish, and here they are. Looking for Blue Starfish in Harvest Island The easiest way of finding Blue Starfish in Harvest Island is by looking for them. You may have had sense enough to look on the coast when the tide is down, as much more goodies are found this way. But, you'd be disappointed to see only Orange Starfish, and not the blue variant you need. Screenshot: PC Invasion This is because Blue Starfish only spawn during the night when the tide is low! You'll find loads of them, so make sure to stock up so you don't have to keep waiting for a low tide at night time. If you're impatient,...
