Kotaku Thursday, September 12, 2024 7:14 AM  The Ace of Spades is one of Destiny 2's most iconic weapons, an exotic hand cannon that belonged to Nathan Fillion's Cayde-6. Bungie recently announced a NERF version of the gun with an orange and black theme that will be matched by an in-game ornament for the gun coming next month. The only problem is that the design… |
PCGamesN Thursday, September 12, 2024 7:59 AM  September 12, 2024: We added several new Genshin Impact codes What are the new Genshin Impact codes?

PCGamesN Thursday, September 12, 2024 7:44 AM  What are the current and upcoming Genshin Impact events? A new version of Genshin Impact arrives every six weeks, complete with new characters, quests, and events. It's difficult to keep track of which events are currently running and if there are any new ones coming soon, so here's a schedule for all current and upcoming Genshin Impact events.

PCGamesN Thursday, September 12, 2024 7:18 AM  It's now 11 years since the first playable version of Star Citizen first hit PC. In that time, Cloud Imperium has raised more than $720m in crowdfunding and carried the space MMO all the way to alpha version 4.0.0, which is expected to launch in the near future. We're still waiting on the single-player Squadron 42, and it might be a while until the full Star Citizen 1.0 launch arrives, but with the new system Pyro on the way, the persistent universe of SC feels ever closer. It seems, however, that Cloud Imperium might have a new game up its proverbial sleeve. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best simulation games, Best multiplayer games, Best space games |

PCGamesN Thursday, September 12, 2024 7:16 AM  What are the best games like Starfield? No matter which way you slice it, Starfield is a huge game with a lot of moving parts. From its sweeping story to planetary exploration and ship combat, finding a game like Starfield is no mean feat. Consequently, our list of the best games to capture the essence of Bethesda's interstellar RPG spans multiple genres, to ensure that there's something for everyone. As we revel in the launch of the Starfield Shattered Space DLC, it might be time to pick the space game itself back up months after its initial release date.

If you want to get stuck into one of the biggest Roblox games around, even if you're not necessarily a One Piece fan, our ultimate Blox Fruits guide can help. Centered around power-imbuing snacks known as devil fruits, the core gameplay loop revolves around grinding levels via various quests, earning cash for your efforts, and using your spoils and expertise to venture further across the sea, fighting more challenging targets to power up even further.

PCGamesN Thursday, September 12, 2024 7:42 AM  When is GTA 6 coming out? Given how many years it takes to create open worlds of the same caliber as GTA 5, it's no surprise that Rockstar Games has already spent years developing GTA 6. Rockstar prefers to keep its secrets close to its chest until close to the end of development, but Take-Two has now confirmed when exactly we can expect it to arrive. The Grand Theft Auto 6 release date has certainly been a long time coming. Early gameplay leaks of GTA 6 surfaced online last year, along with lines of source code and development footage for the open-world game. There's been plenty of rumors and speculation surrounding the release date since then, but we finally have confirmation of the GTA 6 launch window, story, and setting.

PCGamesN Thursday, September 12, 2024 6:14 AM  I like Vampire: The Masquerade a lot. When I'm not working, I'm busy dreaming up new creatures of the night to bring to unlife, creating polite yet monstrous Tzimisce or sultry, relentless LaSombra. My current campaign character, however, is a jazz-loving Toreador that owns his own little dive bar in the heart of Glasgow city center, and of all my creatures of the night, he's my absolute favorite to play. So imagine my face when Blood Bar Tycoon dropped into my inbox; a new indie that thrusts you into the shiny shoes of a vampire that's looking to carve out their own slice of Crimson City's nightlife.

The Turtle Beach Vulcan II Mini Air is a mini wireless gaming keyboard and one of the first from the popular peripheral brand since it shut down Roccat while keeping its naming conventions alive. This deal sees the Vulcan II Mini Air drop from a price of $179.99 to just $97.50, saving you $82.49. In my Turtle Beach Vulcan II TKL Pro review, I was quick to praise the features included with this board and recommend it as one of the best gaming keyboards thanks to its competitive price and feature set.

A console cult classic despite mixed critic reviews, Lollipop Chainsaw was set for a comeback thanks to a full remake announced by Dragami Games in 2022. That remake was later scaled back to a simple remaster, but still brought the iconic Juliet Starlet to PC for the first time. Lollipop Chainsaw Repop is a hack and slash game featuring girlypop protagonist Juliet Starling, a blonde cheerleader who slays in more ways than one, as she and her chainsaw decimate hordes of zombies. The action-adventure game remake brought good news, as original stars returned for the Lollipop Chainsaw remake, while some new features brought the slasher up-to-date.

PCGamesN Thursday, September 12, 2024 5:52 AM  Whether you're replaying the very original or still trying to get every victory type on Deity in Civ 6, there is nothing - nothing - more important than choosing the right starting civilization. A Domination victory demands territory, city conquests, and military might during the early game, so you might go for the Romans. To secure a Cultural victory, you need a hub of arts and expression, making France, and Paris, the natural picks. With Civ 7 finally on the way, and the mightiest strategy game series in history set to make its return, Firaxis has just confirmed the very first batch of Civ 7 civs which you'll use during the initial Antiquity Age.

PCGamesN Thursday, September 12, 2024 5:49 AM  What are the best DayZ servers to join in 2024? We've scoured the internet looking for the top DayZ servers and server clusters to cater to all experiences. Whether you're looking for some intense PvP, a relaxed PvE sandbox, or even a place to roleplay like DayZ Underground, where a creative community has lived out years' worth of stories, creating authentic in-universe lore. We'll also talk about what awaits you on the official servers. Dean Hall, perhaps the leading figure in the survival game sandbox revolution of the early 2010s, first created the zombie game as a mod within ARMA 2, then joined Bohemia Interactive to work on a standalone release. While Hall has since moved on, Bohemia has continued to update the game, and it has come a long way from its first form as a zombie-survival sim. Dozens of additional systems have almost turned it into a life sim, and endless mod-ability means that if you can't do something in the vanilla release, you can probably do it on a modded server somewhere. Read on for our list of some of the best and most populated official and community servers, and a breakdown of exactly what they offer to the discerning DayZ player.

Metas change, the LoL tier list will fluctuate, and it could be that your favorite champion might not be in a great place right now.

PCGamesN Thursday, September 12, 2024 5:01 AM  What are the best Space Marine 2 loadouts? Befitting its name, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 brings a lot of firepower to the party, from flame-hurling Meltas to the punchy Heavy Bolt Rifle, and even a variety of class equipment. This makes creating the best Space Marine 2 builds for PvP and PvE co-op rather complicated. The first step in creating the best Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 loadouts, is deciding on which of the classes is your favorite, followed by the best Space Marine 2 weapons to wield. There are some slight differences between the PvP and co-op game mode versions, though the former mainly lacks a skill tree to tweak how each class plays. Nevertheless, both are fun additions once you've beaten the Space Marine 2 missions.

From heavy assault rifles too large for a standard human all the way to superheated shotguns, slaying Tyranids has never been so brutal - or satisfying. Although Warhammer 40: Space Marine 2 has a large arsenal of weapons that'll complement the best Space Marine 2 classes and their builds, you won't have the full selection available right away.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 12, 2024 6:21 AM  Every man has his breaking point, and mine is the DP motion, aka the D-pad input used to perform Ken's Shoryuken uppercut in Street Fighter, and moves like it in other fighting games. I've never been able to perform it consistently. It's one of many moderately fiddly special attacks - written down for posterity in a tear-stained journal I keep sorrowfully beneath my pillow - which have walled me out of enjoying fighting games, much as I love thinking about them. That wall grows ever higher as I age and my digits turn to dust and my dreams of launching Ryu like a sack of potatoes fade into the twilight. Still, at least I can still play and have fun with shooters, right? All you have to do in shooters is press a button once to make stuff go boom. Wait, Nightmare Operator, what are you doing? Nightmare Operator, no! |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 12, 2024 5:00 AM  Better check those desert dunes again Caravan SandWitch, someone's buried the lede. An open world you can explore in a few relaxed evenings? One that favours the joyous freeform sightseeing of an Elden Ring or Breath Of The Wild; where you'll scramble up vast industrial concrete ruins on scavenging missions for inquisitive frogs, instead of being nagged by bothersome checklists? Ok, rain check on that last point. SandWitch can't help but eventually funnel the freedom of ambling around in your chuffy yellow van into restrictive collect-a-thons. Still, for much of its breezy runtime, this one's a real panacea for gaming's more bloated map-scourers. Plus, even when you are sent off to hamster-cheek scavenged components before making progress, there's very little in this world that doesn't feel intentional. Sidequests and storytelling crumbs are deliberately scattered throughout, and each building is a thoughtful concrete puzzle box. It is, in brief, a nice time. You play as Sauge, a spacefarer returned to her planet of Cigalo after receiving a distress signal from her missing sister. Cigalo's a cheery place, though economically and environmentally devastated after being exploited by an evil spacecorp named The Consortium. It's populated by small settlements of people, some large talking frogs named the Reinetos, and the occasional friendly robot. Everything's friendly, as it goes - even gravity itself. There's no danger, no death, no damage from flinging yourself off the tallest building you can find. Just helping out your desert buds, upgrading your van with more gadgets to solve puzzles, or working on finding exactly where Sauge's sister has go to. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 12, 2024 3:01 AM  There are cold opens and there are freezing ones. Sci-fi roguelike shooter Wild Bastards doesn't start on its strongest cowboy boot. You are dumped into the middle of an interstellar chase and summarily shown the ropes. The guns feel simplistic, the arenas bare, the loot vanilla, and the entire loop of beaming down to a planet and getting into small-scale "showdowns" threatens to become stale within the first hour or so. But then you find an outlaw buddy who offers a new way to shoot human dirtbags. Then another fellow bandit. And another. By the time your spaceship is half-filled with scoundrels and weirdoes shouting at each other, the game has warmed up enough to reveal its central idea. This ain't no grand FPS campaign, nor is it quick as roguelikes go. It's a snacky shootout sim with tumbleweed towns that feels best when you savour the pre-fight suspense. |
