     Alienware's new 4k gaming monitor can hit 360Hz, but with a twist

Dual-mode gaming monitors that can offer 4k resolution but then downscale to 1080p at a high refresh rate are nothing new. However, the new Alienware AW2725QF offers something different to most, as it provides this combination not at a giant 32-inch screen size but in a more compact 27-inch frame.

That means this new best gaming monitor contender will offer not only an ultra-sharp 163 pixels per inch in 4k mode but a less blocky-looking view at 1080p than on 32-inch panels. The smaller screen size should also mean Alienware's latest can be cheaper than other competing options, such as the Asus PG32UCDP, but the company hasn't put a price on this panel yet.

     No one is playing Mullet Mad Jack, the best roguelike FPS on Steam

There's a time and place for elaborate experiences, for chin-stroking moments which evoke the entire gamut of human life. There's also a time and place for ramming your foot into the face of a gun-wielding goon, and thankfully gaming caters to both things. If your tastes run to the latter then may I present to you the fine, gory meal of Mullet Mad Jack, a roguelike FPS that's loved by those who've played it - but very few have partaken.

And Diablo 4 players will find new exploits to duplicate items. The latter has happened once again, with a fresh exploit serving up huge amounts of items, crashing the economy.

     Dead Island 2 will get two essential game modes in a huge free update

No zombie game can truly be considered great if bashing them into a pulp doesn't feel fun. Thankfully, Dead Island 2 is a genre leader when it comes to providing fun zombie-pulping action - its chunky melee combat and ridiculous weapon mods system make it an absolute riot, and it was well worth the decade-long wait. However, developer Dambuster Studios isn't finished with Dead Island 2 yet. Later this year, it'll be getting a big free update that I believe could really elevate it into the halls of zombie game greatness.

fate/grand order summer 2024

Lasengle has revealed the Summer 2024 Servants who will be part of the "BB Presents ☆ Celebrity Summer Experience" event and the upcoming Ordeal Call III, Neo-Primate Succession War: Archetype Inception. As a note, Nasu Kinoko will pen Archetype Inception and it will have three parts in total.

As a reminder, this year's special SSR swimsuit Servant will be Ciel. She will be a Moon Cancer. Meanwhile, the two other swimsuit Servants are Xu Fu (SR Avenger) and Dobrynya Nikitich (SR Lancer). All three of these swimsuit Servants are part of the Fate/Grand Order Summer 2024 event, BB Presents ☆ Celebrity Summer Experience event. During this event, you can gain a more casual Spiritron Dress for Ciel. As for the guys this year, you'll have a higher chance of pulling Karna, Percival, and Bartholomew Roberts. The event and banners will last until October 2, 2024.

As for the Archetype Inception banner, it'll start from August 28, 2024. The Servants you can expect to see are BB Dubai (SSR Moon Cancer), Tenochtitlan (SR), and Mysterious Heroine XX Alter (SR Foreigner). All of these Servants look like they're wearing swimsuits. As a note, Celebrity Summer Experience event is mandatory in order to play Ordeal Call III: Archetype Inception. This is because Archetype Inception is a sequel to Celebrity Summer Experience's story.

You don't have to rush, technically, to complete the limited Celebrity Summer Experience event though. It will appear in the Main Interlude a few months later, along with Ordeal Call III. Of course, to play Ordeal Call III, you must also complete the prologue.

Fate/Grand Order is readily available on mobile devices, though everything above was for the Japanese server. Currently, the event and banners are Celebrity Summer Experience.

Taito And Nintendo Boo Keychain

Taito has announced the return of the popular Super Mario Boo light-up keychains, officially named the Super Mario Boo Pikatto figure. These keychains are set to reappear in Japanese amusement centers and arcades starting on August 17, 2024.

The return of the Super Mario Boo light-up keychains to Japanese arcades coincides with the recent re-release of Luigi's Mansion 2 HD on the Nintendo Switch. This is due to the role those ghosts play in that spin-off series as well.

You can view the official announcement post below, which also includes a new trailer showing off how both of these Super Mario keychains work.

https://twitter.com/Taito_Toys/status/1823268476372554074

The returning Super Mario light-up Boo keychains are approximately 6 cm in size (approximately 2.4 inches) and come in two different variants. Each one features a different expression. When hit, the Boo keychains light up, adding a tactile element to the keychain. The keychains will be available at select arcade locations across Japan, and Taito has provided a link to its site where consumers can check which stores' machines will carry the product. The exact release date may vary by store, and Taito has noted that the actual product may differ slightly from the promotional photos.

Regarding other Super Mario merchandise, Nintendo previously released the Super Mario Boo Room Light and Luigi's Hat Plush Pouch, available at FamilyMart stores in Japan from June 25, 2024. These items, like the keychains, are part of the ongoing continuation of the Super Mario franchise.

In addition, other characters will receive Beetlejuice-inspired alternate costumes featuring his iconic black and white stripes and pale skin. Characters shown wearing these outfits include Joker, The Iron Giant and Harley Quinn.

Here's the full trailer:

Beetlejuice is the latest character to be added to Multiversus, a Super Smash Bros style fighter starring various Warner Bros characters. Other fighters on the roster include Bugs Bunny, Batman, Shaggy from Scooby-Doo and Agent Smith from The Matrix. Beetlejuice's appearance in the game comes just ahead of the film's sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which arrives in theaters on September 6, 2024.

Until Dawn Remaster Cabin on Fire

The release date for the Until Dawn remaster has been revealed in a new comparison trailer. The remaster will release on October 4, 2024.

As well as the release date, the new trailer also shows comparisons between the original Until Dawn on PS4 and the upcoming PS5 remaster. The new visuals have been rebuilt from the ground up, using the original game as a reference. Comparison shots show improved facial animations in a number of scenes, with the characters of Mike and Sam being highlighted.

Other scenes in the remaster have seen changes to the cinematography. A scene where Mike gets his finger caught in a bear trap is shown with a new depth of field putting more emphasis on his injury. Meanwhile, the Ouija board scene features new reaction shots from the cast that weren't in the original game. Some gameplay sequences show a more active camera, often moving closer to the character in scenes that previously had fixed wide angles. The soundtrack is also being reworked.

Until Dawn originally released in 2015 for the PS4, developed by Supermassive Games. It starred Hayden Panettiere, Rami Malek and Peter Stormare in an interactive slasher movie, as a group of teens try to survive in an isolated mountain cabin. The remaster of Until Dawn was announced at the January 2024 State of Play showcase, although at the time its release date was only listed as 2024. It will be developed by new studio Ballistic Moon.

The Until Dawn remaster will release on October 4, 2024 for PS5 and PC.

Jaws Plush Toys of Bruce the Shark Appear in Japanese UFO Catchers 1 (1)

Sega announced a new collection of Jaws plush toys of Bruce the shark. However, these four options are only available if people happen upon UFO catcher grabbing machines in Japan. 

The LL style Jaws plush features a grey version of Bruce with a red and white life preserver around his neck. The float has the movie's name on it in blue. It also features the character with his mouth wide open, as though it is about to chomp down on someone. It is just under a foot tall (30cm) and is almost 15 inches (38cm) long. 

The other three mascot plush options are designed to be keychain-sized plush figures. Each one is about 4 inches long (10cm) and 2 inches (5cm) wide. These are available in three different color schemes. One features a green Bruce with yellow and orange preserver around the shark's "waist." The float around the grey shark is pink and baby blue. The blue version of the plush has a blue and yellow preserver around it. All three have fabric loops on their "noses" that could be used to have them hang from a string or metal keychain.

Here's how both of the Sega grabbing machine Bruce the shark Jaws plush will look:

These aren't the only kinds of Jaws merchandise coming out of Japan. Good Smile Company is going to release a Nendoroid of the shark. In the past, Sega also released plush Bruce tissue box holders, bags, and other plush toys.
