The fusion of Indian mythology and vertical shoot-em-ups might seem a little unorthodox, but these two fields come together to create something exotic with the release of Bitwave Games and Toaplan's Vimana on Steam. The titular Vimana craft is at one's disposal - should players step into the cockpit of this spacefaring adventure?

     CS2 system requirements

What are CS2 system requirements? Valve appears to have pushed past the rocky launch of CS2 as the popular team-based shooter and its popularity are back on the rise. Better still, we have the first CS2 major to look forward to very soon, but will you be able to play like your favorite pros, or will you need some hardware upgrades?

In our CS2 review, we called out some of the most welcome upgrades versus the now-outdated Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which has since disappeared from Steam entirely. You won't need the best graphics card to get CS2 running, but it might help with maxing out your fps.

     This stunning steampunk PC took 34 people to build

The craftsmanship on show in this steampunk PC build is nothing short of astounding, and its creation involved an enormous amount of work and experimentation. Called Steamtronic, this mini-ITX build was created by the Yolenzo workshop for a client, and features a custom case made from textolite, along with loads of brass details, analog dials, and a nixie clock on the side.

Thanks to our rapidly growing PC building Facebook page, we've seen many custom gaming PCs, from mods based on existing case designs to completely from scratch builds.

Who is on the Tekken 8 tier list? The only way to become the King (or Queen) of the Iron Fist tournament is to pick a powerful character, someone capable of defeating the majority of the roster without breaking a sweat.

     Nvidia RTX 4080 Super is the latest casualty to GPU scalpers

We thought we'd seen the back of GPU scalpers snaffling up stock of the latest graphics cards and immediately reselling them at inflated prices. However, it appears as though the popularity of the latest Nvidia RTX 4080 Super has prompted the practice to take off again, with stock of normally-priced cards seemingly sold out in many stores, while listings for the same cards have appeared at much higher prices.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super immediately found its way onto our best graphics card guide thanks to its large drop in price compared to the original RTX 4080 Super, along with a small performance increase. All of a sudden, arguably the worst-value card of the Nvidia RTX 4000 series became the most desirable one, after it had taken on its Super form.

     Ubisoft blames Assassin's Creed for VR failure, here's why it's wrong

Ubisoft is hitting pause on its VR investment for the time being because Assassin's Creed Nexus VR didn't hit its sales target. But while CEO Yves Guillemot says he's waiting for the virtual reality scene to "grow" before the investment resumes, what it really screams of is a lack of understanding of the game's target market.

Back in November, I had the chance to play the game, and in my Assassin's Creed Nexus VR review, I wrote that it left me with the belief that triple-A VR games, using well-established IPs, were going to bring virtual reality gaming to new heights. Despite this, less than five months after the game's release, Guillemot has thrown the project, and Ubisoft's VR investment as a whole, under the bus.

What are the best The Finals weapons? Grab the cash, bank the cash, and get out of Dodge - that's the plan. A lot easier said than done, though, especially when you factor in the other squads trying to do the same.

In The Finals, there are a few different plays to achieve complete dominance: prioritize taking out the opposite team, head straight for the cash, or just utterly destroy the paths and buildings around the vault. One thing that you'll always need to succeed, though, is a powerful weapon or two. From our experience playing the FPS game, we have compiled a list of the best weapons, a lot of which find themselves in our best The Finals loadouts guide.

In an upsetting confirmation that February is in fact winter (and that the year doesn't just start with summer like my brain thinks it should) publisher Whitethorn Games held a 2024 Winter Showcase, where they revealed the existance of a game that answers the question "what if the slimes in Slime Rancher were in mortal peril, and had swords?". The answer is apparently "be ruddy heroes in a cute Soulslike". I think this game, too, looks very cute, although Slime Heroes doesn't have a release window yet.

You know what does have a launch date now?

fate/samurai remnant dlc

A new trailer for the first DLC of Fate/Samurai Remnant appeared, with Ibuki-Douji taking the main stage. The DLC "Record's Fragment: Keian Command Championship" will come out on February 9, 2024.

You can watch the trailer here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOE8StiXRMo

The trailer starts with setting the stage. Gilgamesh has organized a competition for all Masters and Servants to participate in. You'll be able to play as the other Master teams aside from Iori and Saber, with them interacting with each other and fighting each other in a tournament. Ibuki then shows up as an enemy.

For this DLC, there will be multiple endings depending on the Master/Servant duo you chose, and Gilgamesh will also appear as an ally. You will also be able to play as Ibuki in the DLC. Finally, if you clear certain conditions, you'll be able to use Gilgamesh and Ibuki in the main story as Rogue Servants.

Aoi Yuki will reprise her role as Ibuki in the Fate/Samurai Remnant DLC. Since her debut in 1996, she has become a prominent voice actress with many credits in anime and video games. Some of her more well-known roles include Futaba in Persona 5, Madoka in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Iris in Pokemon: Best Wishes.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is readily available for the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and Nintendo Switch. The "Record's Fragment: Keian Command Championship" paid DLC will appear on February 9, 2024.

Baldur's Gate 3 Patch Will Add More Romance for Valentine's Day

Larian Studios announced the next Baldur's Gate 3 patch will offers some tweaks to the romance options. The developer specifically noticed that kissing will be better when the update arrives the week of February 11, 2024.

There will be three specific additions in the update. While one involves an additional update for people who are building relationships, the other two don't. If someone is going through the permadeath Honor mode, they will have new Legendary Actions they can get and use. Also, while the kissing will be updated at the camp, there will also be other new actions. These will be idle animations for people you recruited who are hanging around.

While there is no full trailer showing what to expect from the next Baldur's Gate 3 patch, Larian shared a brief clip showing how the new kissing option looks for romance options. That announcement also confirmed we'll see bugs squashed in the update as well.

https://twitter.com/baldursgate3/status/1755980870664466761

One of the last updates for the game focused on a more critical issue. Back in January 2024, Larian fixed Error 544 for the PS5 version. That one made it possible for people to save properly again. 

Baldur's Gate 3 is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Foamstars Experiencing Season Pass Bug

Square Enix took to the official Foamstars social media account to alert people to a Season Pass bug. It's currently broken, which can keep people from getting items they earned.

To take full advantage of the Season Pass, which is Starry Pop this first season, someone needs to pay $5.99. By going through it, people can earn the ice cream-themed character Melt and an array of cosmetics. However, buying the pass immediately gives someone the character. 

Square Enix didn't note which tier of the Foamstars Season Pass is broken, but explained the team is working to fix the bug. It also offered an initial solution to potentially repair it. Essentially, it is to exit the game, then start it again. In some cases, this allows someone to get the items they earned and couldn't before.

FFVII Final Fantasy VII Bring Arts of Vincent and Yuffie

Square Enix revealed new FFVII Bring Arts action figures modeled after Yuffie Kisaragi, Vincent Valentine, Cid Highwind, and Cait Sith with Fat Moogle. The company also opened pre-orders for all four figures on its Japanese web store. It will gradually release the figures between October 2024 and February 2025.

Each action figure will come with an attachable weapon and multiple exchangeable hand parts. Yuffie and Cid's Bring Arts sets will also include an alternate facial expression plate. But despite the varying compositions, all four figures will be available with the same price tag of 13,200 yen (~$88).

Here are some of the sample images for the upcoming FFVII Bring Arts Yuffie, Vincent, Cid, and Cait Sith figures:

These new figures will continue the lineup series where Square Enix uses character designs from the original 1997 PlayStation release. Square Enix previously revealed action figures of Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith in the latter half of 2022. But while the first three figures sparked controversy for including NFT certificates, the newly revealed ones do not have such a mention on their pages.

The Final Fantasy VII Bring Arts action figure of Yuffie Kisaragi will appear first on October 26, 2024. Vincent Valentine will follow on November 23, 2024. Cid Highwind and Cait Sith will have to wait until the year after, as their figures will come out on January 25, 2025, and February 22, 2025, respectively.

kingdom hearts dolls

Square Enix has opened up pre-orders for little dolls of Sora, Riku, and Kairi from the Kingdom Hearts series. All three dolls will come out on June 8, 2024.

The dolls stand at around 165 x 155 x 200 millimeters. While the pictures on the website are prototypes, which means they might not look exactly the same when they actually come out, the dolls have a very simplified design. With their big eyes and lack of a visible mouth, they actually look quite similar to a Funko Pop. All three dolls seem to use the Kingdom Hearts designs for the characters, with Kairi's look being the most obvious that it's from the first game.

The dolls are not the first pieces of goods that Square Enix announced for Kingdom Hearts this year. Earlier in February 2024, it announced that it has opened up pre-orders for room wear outfits that look like what Sora, Riku, Kairi, and King Mickey wear in Kingdom Hearts 3. You can also pre-order these outfits on the Square Enix website and they'll come out on February 29, 2024. Square Enix also opened up pre-orders for a light-up Kingdom Key Keyblade. While the Keyblade is available in the North American stores, the room wear and the dolls are not.

The Kingdom Hearts dolls of Sora, Riku, and Kairi will release on June 8, 2024 in Japan.

Street Fighter 6 gameplay - Ed vs Ken

Capcom has published a new Street Fighter 6 gameplay trailer featuring Ed, who will be available in late February 2024. The video begins with a continuation of the event shown in the January 2024 teaser trailer before it goes to the main course. It shows Ed's Psycho Powered boxing style in the Ruined Lab stage.

While Ed had some kicks during his debut in Street Fighter V, the new gameplay trailer suggests that he will change his fighting style to a purer form of boxing by only using punches. However, he will still retain the Psycho Power feature where he ties and pulls his opponent.

The trailer also revealed Ed's alternate costume. The iconic hoodie that he wore in Street Fighter V's storyline served as an inspiration, but there are numerous changes made to Ed's Outfit 2. For example on the top side, the hoodie is now separated with a zipper, and Ed also wears a red tank top inside.

The gameplay trailer is available to watch via the official Street Fighter YouTube channel:

Street Fighter 6 is readily available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Ed will appear as a DLC character for the game on February 27, 2024. Capcom has also released an "Ed Appears!" Fighting Pass that includes in-game decorations related to the character.

     Skull And Bones Ship SailingThe Skull and Bones servers are getting slammed since so many pirates are sailing the seas at the same time during the launch window, so there are some issues with the in-game chat. These issues are getting in the way of gameplay, too, since they repeatedly pop up on screen. You'd typically be able to chat with the entire lobby when playing Skull and Bones with both voice and text chat, but there are two specific errors that are preventing pirates from communicating with one another. Most players are getting disconnected from the Skull and Bones chat with an error called NIGHTINGALE-12C, and then the in-game text chat will continually be spammed with a message that reads "A problem occurred while trying to communicate with a Ubisoft online service. Please try again later. (KINGFISHER-4)." How to Fix "A Problem Occurred While Trying to Communicate With a Ubisoft Online Service" in Skull and Bones Screenshot: PC Invasion Unfortunately, there̵...

     Best RAM-9 loadout for MW3 WarzoneIf you've played Warzone lately, you'll know the Ram-7 Assault Rifle is an overwhelming force on the battlefield. Season 2 has introduced the Ram-9 SMG, hoping to replicate that same dominance. If you're wondering how to build it, let me show you the best RAM-9 loadout for MW3 Warzone. Best RAM-9 attachments in Warzone The RAM-9 is a punchy SMG but can be tricky to control with its kick and recoil. We aim to improve these stats while retaining mobility with our attachments. Barrel: Armistice Light Barrel Stock: HVS 3.4 Pad Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip Magazine: 50 Round Mag Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor S Armistice Light Barrel SMGs always benefit from a movement speed boost as it makes you harder to hit in close quarters. The Armistice Light barrel is an easy way to buff our mobility stats, although we take a minor penalty to Recoil Control. The RAM-9 has a noticeable kick, so we work Recoil Reduction into the build elsewhere. HVS ...

     Persona 3 Reload Opulent Hand GuideThe Opulent Hand is yet another rare type of Shadow in Persona 3 Reload that gives you a worthy reward. Luckily these enemies aren't as annoying to fight as their friends. Here's everything you need to know about them. How to defeat Opulent Hands in Persona 3 Reload Opulent Hands appear on floors 119 to 144 of Tartarus and operate just like any of the other rare Hand-type enemies in Persona 3 Reload. They have high evasion and can run away within one or two turns if you haven't managed to defeat it yet. That's part of what makes them so annoying to fight. But Opulent Hands do have a weakness that's easy to exploit. The key weakness of Opulent Hands is Strike damage. These are attacks indicated by a fist icon and can be used by some fuseable Personas, as well as Junpei and Akihiko. And since Opulent Hands only have 700 HP, fights against them shouldn't be too rough. Related: Best ways to earn money in Persona 3 Reload The best strategy ...

     How to aim down sights/use ADS in Helldivers 2Some games like to switch up the things you think you know and reassess. Helldivers 2 likes to make things a little complicated with their in-game, split-second code inputs, manual reloads, and even aiming down sights. I'm not going to lie; I was playing for about 7 hours before I figured out ADS in Helldivers 2. How to use weapon sights in Helldivers 2 Helldivers 2 is a third-person game, switching to over-the-shoulder when you aim down the sights with the Right Mouse Button or Left Trigger on Playstation. However, almost all guns come with a sight, some of which are essential. The Sniper is almost unusable without them. To aim down the sights of a weapon in Helldivers 2, you need to press Mouse Wheel In on PC and Right Stick Tap on PlayStation. Screenshot by PC Invasion It took me far too long to figure this control out, and I ended up overlooking some of the better weapons in the game. Weapons such as the Sniper Rifles are absolute monsters on the field, especially ...
