It's fair to say that Suicide Squad:Kill the Justice League's launch isn't going great so far. Following a brutal run of previews, and a splendidly petulant attempt to turn the narrative, the game's few days of paid early access have been dirty with downtime. In an apparent attempt at crisis management, a handful of…

Like almost any child born in the '90s, I was obsessed with all things Disney. When Mulan came out on VHS I would watch it, rewind it, then immediately watch it again. There was only one other thing I'd obsessively spend that much time on: Final Fantasy. After my introduction to Final Fantasy VII, I played it no less…

     Best Pals for Cooling in Palworld

What are the best Cooling Pals in Palworld? Whipping up the finest grub on Palpagos Island takes some effort. Sourcing the raw ingredients and combining them can be a drawn-out process, even if you prefer to let your Pals do all the work. While your Pals will happily gobble down your culinary feast, any leftovers are still susceptible to the slow march of time, and that's where Cooling Pals can lend a helping hand.

Once you've used your best Palworld Watering Pals to grow and harvest your crops in your Palworld base, you've likely spotted that they come with a timer. You can extend the survival game's food spoilage rate with Palworld cooking, but that's only delaying the inevitable. Thankfully, the best Palworld Cooling Pals are here to maintain your Cooling Box and ensure that your perishables never, well, perish. Here are the best Cooling Pals to assign to your base.

     Best Pals for Gathering in Palworld

What are the best Palworld Gathering pals? It's not one of the more specialist jobs in any Palworld base, but Gathering is what keeps your Pals supplied with enough food to sustain itself. Without a few Pals to harvest crops and place them in the Pal Feeder, your hard workers will starve and eventually faint.

With that in mind, you'll likely want at least two Pals with the highest Gathering level to make a self-sustaining base in Palworld. We've explored the entire Palworld map and researched all Pals in the Paldeck to find out if there are any that are better than some top candidates found in the early game. Here, then, are the best Palworld Gathering Pals and where to find them.

What is the Tales of Kenzera Zau release date? This metroidvania from Surgent Studios is an absolute feast for the eyeballs, that's for sure. Takes of Kenzera Zau tells a story of loss, and the lengths one person would go to to retrieve what they once had, even if they have to deal with the actual God of death.

You've seen metroidvania games before, sure, but Tales of Kenzera Zau is looking to take what you know and package it in a game that explodes with color, dialogue that swings with real verve, and a rewarding combat system that flows on the screen like water. Here is everything we know about the adventure game, including its release date, the story so far, and its trailer.

     Razer Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed review – premium feel without the cost

It's not a rare occurrence to see a premium gaming product hit the market only to be followed up by a budget or mid-tier offering a few months later. This is exactly what I thought the Razer Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed was, a lesser model, for a cheaper retail cost, trimming away certain features from its premium counterpart, the Blackshark V2 Pro. Simply put, this was completely wrong, and the BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed is now my go-to recommendation over the Pro for casual gamers, but the hardcore crowd will still desire the audio quality of the Pro.

Razer knew it was on to a winner with the Blackshark V2 Pro. The microphone is among the clearest you'll find, even on the best gaming headsets, while it also competes with some standalone streaming mics. This quality is retained in the Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed, and in some cases features are added over the Pro, making its lower starting price incredibly attractive, and leaving this Blackshark as one of the best wireless gaming headsets you can buy today.

     Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super review – the new $999 champion

The GeForce RTX 4080 Super marks the final graphics card refresh we can expect from the Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 series, at least for now, and it's arguably the most exciting of the bunch. While it offers the smallest performance bump, relative to the previous two releases, its new $999 MSRP is altogether more affordable and better priced than its predecessor, with potentially seismic knock-on effects for the high-end space.

I've been testing the RTX 4080 Super over the past few days and was fortunate enough to receive both a Nvidia Founders Edition and an Asus TUF Gaming model. Both are reference class SKUs and perform largely the same based on my testing, but I've had my hands on the latter for longer, so it will be the focus of this review. Either card will serve you well, but if I were to pick out the best graphics card between them it would certainly be the stealthier, more mature design of the Founders Edition.

     All Palworld bosses in order and how to beat them

What are the Palworld bosses? These powerful Pals are under the command of skilled Pal Tamers who don't take kindly to newcomers. While they certainly pose a challenge, we've got the boss strategies you need to take all of the main bosses down without breaking a sweat. We've also got a collection of the free-roaming boss Pals to keep an eye out for while you're busy exploring Palpagos Island.

The main boss challenges in Palworld require you to defeat the Palworld Pals and their Tamers within a set time limit, so maximizing your damage output is key. If you're having trouble, Palworld multiplayer can certainly help, especially if you're part of a community-driven Palworld server. Eliminating a Palworld boss for the first time nets you Palworld Technology points, which are invaluable for expanding your Palworld base. So, whether you're looking to progress in the Pokemon PC game or you just want to put your Palworld fighting prowess to the test, here's every Palworld boss and how to beat them.

     Warzone Urzikstan map POIs – All 11 points of interest

Where are the points of interest in the Warzone map Urzikstan? The newest Warzone DZ, accompanying Modern Warfare 3, is located right next door to the Republic of Adal. Just across the border from Al Mazrah, Urzikstan is familiar to CoD fans as the region previously occupied by General Barkov until Farah's army, the CIA and the SAS, um, removed him in Modern Warfare 2019. If you thought that was the end of the trouble, think again, as Zakaev makes his move on the land.

As ever, the stories and the lore are interwoven between Call of Duty Warzone and Modern Warfare, giving players familiar drop zones in which to fight. Oftentimes, particularly if you want good loot and a good fight, the points of interest are the best places to drop into a Warzone map, so here are all 11 Urzikstan POIs, some of which appear as standalone maps in Modern Warfare 3 modes like Ground War. So, get your squad and all your best Warzone guns ready for the multiplayer game and prepare to drop into the new Warzone map.

     Best wireless gaming mouse in 2024

We're here to help you find the best wireless gaming mouse. While some gamers have been historically wary of going wireless, modern developments mean that you can have fantastic levels of speed and precision without worrying about wires getting caught on things.

When choosing the right one for you, you'll not only need to consider shape, style, and button selection, but also battery life and connection types. You can use Bluetooth for longer between charges and it'll connect to more devices, but this sacrifices the low latency that comes from the included USB dongle. Fortunately, we have recommendations to cover all bases.

Razer, Corsair, and Logitech respect your USB slots more than ever, as their receivers now let you connect more than one wireless peripheral to a single dongle on some models. It only works if the other devices are from the same brand, but unlike the best gaming mouse, this makes room for everything else you want to plug into your PC. Anyway, on to our choices.

     12 years later, classic roguelike FTL has a huge unofficial expansion

Faster Than Light is the game that made stress, pressure, and the imminence of total annihilation feel like fun. Before Bethesda's space opera Starfield, or beloved roguelikes such as Hades and Dead Cells, FTL propelled us into the deepest recesses of the cosmos and left us to fend for ourselves. Engines malfunctioned. Airlocks were breached. Entire crews were unceremoniously ejected into the vacuum of the universe. But after enough playthroughs and some hard-learned lessons, Faster Than Light transcended its sharp learning curve to become one of the richest and most rewarding games of 2012. Now more than a decade old, FTL remains one of the best in the roguelike genre, and it's got a gigantic unofficial expansion - enough to fill a fan-made sequel - available right now.

Thanks to confirmation from MSI, we know that all Claw A1M models will feature VRR.

The Steam Deck OLED may be the best handheld gaming PC, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. Only the ROG Ally currently has a VRR display amongst the big three handhelds, as the Legion Go doesn't include it.

It's looking like we could soon be getting a lower-spec variant of the RTX 3050, with a new Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 6GB version having appeared briefly on an Austrian online retailer. With slightly reduced specs across the board, the card will offer even lower performance than the current 8GB model but also comes with a 46% lower TDP of just 70W.

The new Nvidia contender for a best-budget place on our best graphics card list has been rumored for a few months, with us first reporting on it three months ago then again fresh rumors appeared a month ago.

January 31, 2024 Looked for news on the next Blox Fruits update, but nothing has been revealed yet.

When is the new Blox Fruit update? Whether you're waiting for the right moment to start or are in dire need of some new content to conquer, it can be hard to understand when a new Blox Fruits patch is on the horizon. This large-scale Roblox MMORPG, unofficially based on the famous One Piece franchise, has been welcoming pirates and marines alike for years now, and it's showing no signs of slowing down. Time your sessions around updates and you're more likely to score some helpful freebies to boost you on your way to the top.

And if we just so happen to be in a bit of a Blox Fruits content drought with nothing new expected for a little while, there's still plenty more to play across the Roblox platform. For a familiar experience, King Legacy codes are always available to use. And if you just like anime in general, Anime Champions Simulator codes are worth checking out, and Anime Adventures codes can offer another convincing MMO experience for you to lose many, many hours to.

If the RTX 4070 Super was all about addressing its predecessor's so-so performance gains, the RTX 4080 Super's course correction is more deeply rooted in issues of cold, hard coinage. For better and worse, it turns out – while this Super-fied GPU knocks hundreds off the RTX 4080's starting price, any excitement for a potential new 4K champion is quickly muted by it barely moving the dial on straight FPS output.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League released into early access for owners of the Deluxe preorder edition earlier this week, granting armchair supervillains prepared to shell out £100 or $100 a headstart on players buying the regular edition, which launches this Friday 2nd February. Or at least, that was the idea.

Like many an online-required live service game before, Suicide Squad's premium access release has been marred by technical bugs and glitches, the most severe of which saw players logging in to discover the main storyline already completed. I guess Rocksteady were serious about not wanting people to treat it like a "life commitment".

The greatest compliment I can give to Palworld is that it lights up my brain in the same way a modern Assassin's Creed game does. It taps into the same checklist clearing compulsion that saw me spend over 100 hours in both Odyssey's Ancient Greek archipelago and the Viking open world of Valhalla - only instead of chasing map icons that take you down weird sidequest rabbit holes that riff on Fenton the (sheep)dog, or gobbling up story events just so you can make googly eyes at every warm-blooded human in a ten mile radius, Palworld hooks you in with its enormous catalogue of base building tasks. Not catching the 100+ Pal monsters roaming around its mysterious islands, but crafting the perfect sweatshop to put them to work in. It's one of those, "I'll just add this furnace so I can craft some ingots that will let me make a cooking pot to level up my base, but wait, now I need some ore to make those ingots, and oh god, I've just spent seven hours doing not very much at all, have I?"

When Square Enix announced the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection for Final Fantasies 1 through 6 back in 2021, I was overjoyed. For too long had PC folks had to 'make do' with the quite nasty mobile ports of these games, and the Pixel Remasters looked set to finally rectify that with proper versions replete with their original artwork. But one thing was missing. Well, several things were missing it turns out, but chief among them were, of course, its damn fonts - a point of contention that's plagued many a Square Enix PC port in recent years, and one that fans quickly set about trying to fix with mods. Extra salt was then added to the wound when Square Enix said that last year's Switch and PS4 versions of the Pixel Remaster series would have two different font options straight out of the box - and it's only now that the PC versions have finally caught up.

hatsune miku pumps header

Mayla will release pumps that draw inspiration from Hatsune Miku on January 31, 2024, and you'll be able to buy the shoes from Mayla's website.

The Hatsune Miku pumps from Mayla will come with a special box that uses designs and motifs from her, such as the treble clef and digital circles. Every part of the shoe's design looks like her. There are big teal ribbons on the side to represent her long pigtails, with the strap in front being pink like her hair accessories. It has an 01 on the inside, much like how Miku has 01 on her arm, and there are frills on the shoes to look like her skirt. The shoes cost 29,920 JPY ($202.70), and this price does not include shipping.

Here is a closer look at the Hatsune Miku shoes:

This is not the first time that Mayla released high-heels based on a 2D character. In May 2023, it released high-heels based on the Sailor Senshi as part of a collaboration event for the Sailor Moon Cosmos movie. In November 2023, it released a pair of pumps that looked like Anya from Spy x Family.

You can order the Hatsune Miku pumps from 5:00 PM (your local time) on January 31, 2024.

devolver digital new game

Devolver Digital has teased a new upcoming game on Twitter (X). The teaser comes in the form of a somewhat bizarre 30-second-long video.

You can watch the video here:

https://twitter.com/devolverdigital/status/1752376128566874609

It shows several black-and-white clips of a pixelated character with a beard and sunglasses looking around and talking. It's interspersed with text that has an anti-technology bent. The video ends with a close-up of the character's mouth as he says "Let me be your sun." Some of the replies are taking guesses at what this game could be. Guesses include a cult game (including a Cult of the Lamb and Rain World collaboration), Hotline Miami 3, Katana Zero DLC, and a Unabomber game. Devolver Digital, or "Daddy Devolver" now on Twitter (X), did not make a follow-up Tweet explaining or revealing anything more about this game.

Devolver Digital is a video game publisher that has mostly released indie games since its founding in 2009. Subsidiaries include Firefly Studios, Good Shepherd Entertainment, and Croteam. Some of its games include the Hotline Miami series, the Serious Sam series, Cult of the Lamb, and Loop Hero. Perhaps its most well-known property, however, is Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.

More information on the game from Devolver Digital will appear in the future and could be part of the January 31, 2024 State of Play.

     Tekken 8 Reina Age ExplainedReina is the newest mystery in Tekken 8. And while her origin has mostly been figured out by now, Reina's age is still a massive question mark surrounding her entire character. It may not seem important, but the devil is in the details. Can we figure out how old Reina is in Tekken 8 Until the developer gives us a concrete answer, there's no real way of knowing Reina's true age in Tekken 8. But there are a couple of ways we can estimate and infer how old she is. She was most likely born sometime during the big gap between Tekken 2 and 3. There are about 17 years of Tekken history that's mostly unaccounted for. And frankly, this is the only block of time that would really make any sense. Alright, I'm about to spoil some stuff about Reina now so avert your eyes if you haven't experienced Tekken 8's story mode yet. At the very end of the Tekken 8 story mode, Reina reveals that Heihachi Mishima is indeed her fat...

     Tekken 8 Frame Data GuideFrame data is something that any intermediate fighting game player needs to know. And in Tekken 8, finding the frame data is a very simple process. Here's how to get it up and what all of those numbers mean. Where to find frame data in Tekken 8 To find the frame data in Tekken 8, simply head over to Practice mode under the Offline tab. From here pick whichever character you want to play as. Once you've loaded into the match, you'll notice a menu in the bottom left region of the screen. And on the lower half of this menu, you have Attack Startup Frames and Frame Advantage. As you perform attacks, this menu will display the frame data and the Frame Advantage will let you know if your moves are plus or minus on hit, block, or whiff (blue for plus, red for minus). This information will be given for each attack and strike in a combo. Pay attention to this and the attack startup frames to see which of your moves are safe or unsafe. You can also set th...

     Making Cake In PalworldIn Palworld, breeding is the key to getting powerful Pals much earlier than you would have if you were to catch them. The catalyst for this Egg production is Cake, so you'll need a lot of standby if you want to breed as much as possible. Making Cake in Palworld Cake is pretty expensive to make for new players, so if you plan to do a lot of breeding, then you'll need to start automating the production of ingredients. Thankfully, each of the resources can be automated to get your Egg farms rolling. For each Cake, you'll need: 5 Flour 8 Red Berries 7 Milk 8 Eggs 2 Honey Screenshot: PC Invasion The Cake can be built using any food-producing facility, like the Cooking Pot (somehow), but not the Campfire. It does take a while to build, so you'll want a Pal with at least Kindling level 2 so it doesn't take forever. When the Cake is ready, you can place it in the chest in front of the Breedi...

     How to find and catch Eikthyrdeer Terra in PalworldEikthyrdeer is one of the first Pals most players will ride as it's plentiful around the starting area. But did you know there's an upgraded version as well? If you want one of your own, let me show you how to find and catch Eikthyrdeer Terra in Palworld. Where to find Eikthyrdeer Terra in Palworld The biggest hurdle you'll face on your Eikthyrdeer Terra hunt is finding it in the first place.  Screenshot: PC Invasion These elusive creatures are only obtainable on the small island to the south. You can see the precise location in the image above. The problem is, you'll attract a ton of unwanted attention the moment you step foot on the island, as it's a wildlife sanctuary. When you arrive, gun-wielding will quickly rush to your location, but there's a cheeky way around them. If you fly to the island on a Pal but never actually dismount, the guards will leave you alone. You can use your flying mount to att...
