Metal Slug Tactics isn't what I was expecting. Fortunately, that's not a bad thing. Instead of Final Fantasy Tactics, it's Into the Breach with some clever twists that help infuse it with some of the classic arcade series' run-and-gun roots. I'm having a fun time with it so far, even if it has some glaring annoyances.

     Massive Pax Dei update overhauls nearly every part of the MMORPG

The idea of a world where everything is made by players is a compelling one, and it's something Pax Dei is attempting to make manifest. Similar to other social survival titles like Conan Exiles, Rust, or Valheim, Pax Dei contains a huge open world filled with monsters to slay, humans to fear, resources to gather, and plots you can build upon. Released back in June, its first content update has now arrived, and almost every aspect of the game has been altered, but be warned - there's a downside too.

     Baldur's Gate 3 is back on sale, but you've got to be speedy

Ask around, and you won't find too many folks that take issue with Baldur's Gate 3's massive haul of Game of the Year awards.

     After a slight delay, Stardew Valley rival Mirthwood is finally out

While the excitement around GTA 6 continues to ramp up coming into 2025, my eyes are firmly placed on the new Fable. As someone who grew up swooning over Reaver in Fable 2, then swooning again in Fable 3 (that outfit is iconic), it's one of my favorite videogame franchises ever, and I've got high hopes for what comes next. In the meantime, however, I've been searching for a high fantasy adventure that channels that classic Dungeons and Dragons feel, but isn't 100 hours long (I'm looking at you, Baldur's Gate 3). Mirthwood certainly fits the bill, and after a slight delay it's finally out now on Steam.

Where are the Dragon Age The Veilguard mementos? While they might appear to be collectible codex entries, mementos are the only resource you can use to upgrade the Caretaker's Workshop. Each one automatically bestows Caretaker reputation points upon pickup, letting you increase the power level of all weapons in Bioware's fantasy RPG.

There are 182 mementos in Dragon Age The Veilguard, and you need at least 140 to upgrade your equipment to the maximum power level. You can spot mementos in the RPG game by their tell-tale blue glow. While their sheer number means you're bound to stumble upon mementos during natural progression, it's possible to miss several thanks to the linear format of Dragon Age Veilguard quests. We've searched high and low to bring you all memento locations in Dragon Age The Veilguard, so you can equip the best weapons and upgrade gear as early as possible.

What is the best Black Ops 6 DM-10 loadout? It's easy to focus on assault rifles and SMGs when you're trying to level up in Black Ops 6 as these weapons are easy to use, but you could be missing out on a different gun that suits you better.

The semi-auto DM-10 marksman rifle in Black Ops 6 certainly won't be for every type of player due to its heavy weight and slow fire rate. That said, if you enjoy blasting enemies away from range in only a couple of clicks, you won't find many Black Ops 6 weapons better than the DM-10. The DM-10 could eventually find a place on our best Black Ops 6 loadouts list - it really is that good when you get to grips with it.

     Best gaming VPN 2024

What is the best VPN for gaming? You can revolutionize your experience during online games like CS2, EA Sports FC, and League of Legends with a games VPN. They can help to reduce ping, give you access to easier lobbies, improve download speeds, protect you from DDoS attacks, give you access to regional exclusive content, and much more.

While VPNs are thought to slightly lower download speeds, that's not always the case. Internet service providers often throttle your speeds when you engage in bandwidth-heavy activities such as gaming, but as VPNs mask your activity and data, your connection remains fast and stable.

Not all VPNs are built equally, but we're here to help you find the right VPN for gaming. I have tried and tested seven VPNs suitable for gamers, judging them on features, speed, price, and some other factors. Each VPN in our list has been tested on a 70 MB fiber connection on a Windows PC.

The speed has been measured in terms of latency and jitter, using the Nperf. Keep in mind that anything below 50 ms is ideal gaming territory, whereas latency of 150 ms and above will ruin games.

What is the best Black Ops 6 Tanto .22 loadout? When it comes to picking SMGs, the differentiating factors between weapons in this category are usually down to fire rate and mobility. The Tanto .22 is one of the slowest SMGs we've ever used, but when paired with the right attachments, this gun can shred through enemies like nothing else.

While the C9 is the go-to SMG in Black Ops 6, the Tanto .22 is a low-investment alternative that can do plenty of damage. Our loadout makes an incredible case to include the Tanto .22 in our best Black Ops 6 loadouts list, this SMG rewards those with good aim and excellent decision-making.

     Nvidia is now the world's most valuable company, thanks to AI and RTX GPUs

Nvidia has just become the most valuable company in the world, passing other tech titans like Apple and Microsoft to take the crown. With a valuation of $3.43 trillion, Nvidia is now worth more than any other company for the first time, thanks to the huge demand for its GPUs due to the rise of AI and its dominance in the gaming market.

It's not hard to see why Nvidia, which was worth just $10 billion a decade ago, has had such success. The best graphics cards out there are made by the company, with the most recent RTX 40-series helping to put the Nvidia GPU market share at 88%, with second-place AMD stuck with just 12% of the total.

"Never read the comments," is a truth much-rehearsed by senior games journalists, but I have long since levelled-up past this axiom and entered into a new world of benevolent narcissism. I always read the comments, for all commenters are my children. They exist to glorify and preserve me in my dotage. True, occasionally my children say things like "I think your writing and opinions are appalling, and that you deserve to be repeatedly run over by a herd of deer", but it is the nature of children to rebel.

Genshin Impact Serenitea Pot Store Will Sell Wood

HoYoVerse went over some of the changes found in the 5.2 Genshin Impact update, and the Serenitea Pot Realm Depot store will now sell wood for players to buy. This quality of life change is designed to make crafting furnishings and buildings easier in the game.

In order to be able to buy Wood in Genshin Impact, you first need to have found it. So Pine Wood is common in the Mondstadt and Liyue regions. Since it is common, it is likely you already attacked trees there to "cut" some and will see it in the Realm Depot right away. However, since an item like Yumemiru Wood is only found on Inazuma's Narukami Island and it takes time to get there, it won't show up until you reach that location and cut some.

Here's the official image showing how the Realm Depot store Wood section will look when looking to buy the material in the Genshin Impact Serenitea Pot. It suggests each time the store refreshes, there will only be 10 pieces available.

Genshin Impact Serenitea Pot Store Will Sell Wood
Image via HoYoVerse

As an example of how this would work in practice, let's look at the Red Cedar Curio Stand interior furnishing. It needs 6 Red Dyes and 12 Fragrant Cedar Woods to craft. If you already found it while exploring in the Mondstadt area, then the Genshin Impact Serenitea Pot Realm Depot store will sell that type of wood to buy. So if you only had five, you could purchase the remaining pieces you need. 

This isn't the first time we saw Serenitea Pot QOL changes. HoYoVerse also implemented some in April 2024. That added one-click crafting.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, the Xbox Series X version launches on November 20, 2024, and the 5.2 update is expected to also launch on November 20, 2024.

Kotobukiya is working on even more figures based on characters from Nihon Falcom's Trails series. The company published an unpainted prototype image of the upcoming figure based on Elaine Auclair from Trails through Daybreak. The Japanese blog post also included a brief interview with the company's CEO Toshihiro Kondo, who also wants to see characters and monsters from Falcom's earlier titles reproduced with more modern figure technology.

In addition, Kotobukiya revealed on its X account that it is also working on another figure based on Shizuna Rem Misurugi. The company has also shared two images showing parts of the unpainted prototype, although it has yet to publish the full image.

Master Sword in Korok Forest in Zelda Breath of the Wild - soundtrack composed by Yasuaki Iwata

Composer Yasuaki Iwata revealed on his own X account in early November 2024 that he had left Nintendo in July 2023 to pursue new challenges. The Japanese video game composer is available for contact via his account's direct message and email. However, he has still yet to announce the new group he is now affiliated with.

Iwata first joined the list of Nintendo composers for the 2013 Wii U game Super Mario 3D World. He also later contributed to the soundtrack for the 2014 entry Mario Kart 8.

Yasuaki Iwata was arguably best known for his contributions as a composer to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which launched on Nintendo Switch and Wii U in 2017. Some of the tracks made by this composer were the area themes of Korok Forest, Rito Village, and Hateno Village, as well as the dungeon and Boss fight themes inside all four Divine Beasts and the Reunion themes with all four Champions.

After working on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Iwata was also spotted in the composer lists for ARMS and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The latest title Iwata was known to work on is the 2020 title Animal Crossing: New Horizons, where he notably made the game's opening theme.

Yasuaki Iwata is still working as a game music composer even after he had left Nintendo in July 2023.

Metal Gear Solid Delta Eva

Konami revealed the identity of the voice actor for Eva in a new behind the scenes video for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. The video featured a discussion between the voice actors for the characters Naked Snake, Eva and The Boss as they talked about their experiences working on the original game.

In the original Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Eva's voice actor was credited under the alias of Suzetta Minet. But for Metal Gear Solid Delta she is being credited under her real name, which is Jodi Benson. She is best known as the voice actor for Ariel in The Little Mermaid, as well as a number of other projects for Disney. This was the reason for her using an alias in the original game, as the association with a military game caused potential conflict with her other child-friendly work.

Here's the full video.

Along with Jodi Benson, the video also features fellow voice actors David Hayter (Naked Snake) and Lori Alan (The Boss) recounting their experiences working on both the original game and the new lines for Metal Gear Solid Delta. This included the reveal of how Hayter and Benson performed the kissing scenes. We also got a first look at a couple of remade scenes. These included Eva and Snake's hug as they leave Groznyj Grad and the interaction between Snake and The Boss early on after the start of the Snake Eater mission.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Gundam SEED Freedom - Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Athha Gasha Portraits pilot suit figures

Bandai has revealed new figures of Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Athha in their respective pilot suits from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom. These figures will be part of the Gasha Portraits lineup, and the company will put them up for sale on the Premium Bandai web store.

The exact time Bandai opens orders for the figures will be Thursday, November 7, 2024, at 11:00 AM JST. However, as with most other products on the Premium Bandai web store, the webpage will be geo-locked so people residing outside Japan will have to use a VPN to view the actual listing page.

The reveal tweet is also available to view right below:

This will be the first time Cagalli gets a figure adaptation based on her appearance in Gundam SEED Freedom, but it won't be the same for Lacus. Previously in September 2024, Bandai and Megahouse revealed a Gundam Girls Generation figure based on the latter, which is slated for release in March 2025. But while that figure has her hair tied up, this Gasha Portraits figure will show Lacus with her hair down.

The Gasha Portraits figures of Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Athha in their pilot suits from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom will be available to order from Thursday, November 7, 2024.

Nintendo Switch Successor Will Be Backwards Compatible

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa announced that the successor to the Nintendo Switch console will be backwards compatible. Additionally, the yet unnamed successor will support the Nintendo Switch Online service and features.

The announcement of the Nintendo Switch successor being backwards compatible happened as part of Nintendo's Corporate Management Policy Briefing for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2025. Furthermore, the briefing revealed that customers will be able to purchase Nintendo Switch games on its successor.

Nintendo gave no details on how the backwards compatibility function will work on the successor to the Switch, and there was no direct mention of physical or digital copies of games owned by users. Nintendo confirmed that more details about the console's backwards compatibility will appear in the future.

Considering the recent announcement of major first part Nintendo Switch titles coming out on 2025, such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond or the recent reveal of the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for March of next year, it makes sense for Nintendo to show an interest in those games and other titles in the Switch catalogue to be playable on the Switch successor.

The Nintendo Switch is readily available worldwide, and the successor to the Switch will be announce before the end of March 2025.
