PCGamesN Wednesday, April 30, 2025 7:36 AM ![]() Company of Heroes 3 manages to find white-knuckle drama in even the smallest moments. In most RTS games - Command and Conquer, Age of Empires - the excitement comes from executing big maneuvers. In CoH, something as simple as moving one squad of soldiers into the same building as another can devolve into an all-out war. It's not just the mechanics; the guns, the explosions, and the soldier yells all sound fantastic. It's a sensory overload, in a way that feels right for a war game. Two years since it was released - to an understandably cool reception - a transformational Company of Heroes 3 update continues the game's redemption story.

From the all-time greats that are still worth playing; the sims with modding communities who breathe eternal life into them; the facsimiles of an aspect of reality so niche you can barely fathom their existence, we have everything you need here. Sims differ from other PC games in that their raison d'être isn't necessarily to entertain, at least not primarily. Do you want fun and excitement? Tough. Operating a submarine is not that. It is, however, fascinating, terrifying, and hugely satisfying as a long-form experience.

PCGamesN Wednesday, April 30, 2025 7:17 AM ![]() What is the best CPU cooler? For most gamers and home PC users, the key to a good CPU cooler is that it should not only keep your CPU cool but remain quiet while doing so. Some users may prefer all-out cooling performance over noise suppression or need a super low-profile cooler to fit in a tiny PC, though. Whatever your needs, we've got a CPU cooler for you. Our current top choice is the Noctua NH-D15 that brings enormous cooling power yet near silent running. For a more affordable option, though, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo White is the way to go. Meanwhile, if you need an AIO cooler, the NZXT Kraken 240mm should be your starting point. For more recommendations, including low profile and 360mm AIO options, check out the list below.

While we've yet to see any new GPU prices at the basically mythical US MSRPs, the Radeon RX 9070 and 5060 Ti are now available with prices that, while not at MSRP, are at least not absolutely obscene. If you've been holding off on buying the best graphics card for your budget, as you've been put off by outrageous prices, then take a look at some of the deals I've spotted below. However, you'll need to be quick, as one of the first deals I spotted was already out of stock by the time I finished writing this piece. I've found Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti cards going for $419.99, for example, and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 for $679.99, which are more acceptable prices than some of the stratospheric scalper prices figures we've seen recently.

Solgaleo ex is probably one of the best cards to come to Pokémon TCG Pocket in a while, even if it has a glaring weakness, with trainers eager to create a deck around it and other Celestial Guardian cards to have some run climbing the new ranked ladder.
The main issue that stems from Solgaleo ex and even Lunala ex decks is that it needs to evolve from Cosmog to Solgaleo ex for it to be a threat, and getting the cards you need to pull it off is tricky at best. Still, we think we have come up with a cool deck list to run, but we might change some parts in the future as we continue to test.
Best Solgaleo ex Pokémon TCG Pocket deck
I've been back and forth with this deck list, trying to make it work, but I believe a core of Dialga ex, Solgaleo ex, Cosmog, and two Rare Candy to skip the need to evolve into Cosmeon is essential at the core of the deck.
With Dialga ex setting up your backline, you can switch between both Solgaleo ex and Dialga ex to maximize damage thanks to their abilities. It's a pretty powerful combo, but its reliance on drawing the right cards and making sure you get a Solgaleo ex out as fast as possible means that not every game is going to go the way you want it to.
Its reliance on ex cards also makes it weak to Oricorio's Electric-type form from Celestial Guardians, which stops any ex Pokémon from dealing damage to it. I put one of them in the deck myself for additional stall against other ex heavy decks, but this card is going to be a problem, and Cosmog alone won't be able to deal with it, so something else ideally needs to get added to the deck to overcome Oricorio, or at least force it from the Active Spot by using a Sabrina and Cyrus, for example.
The deck would also use some Tool cards, maybe a single Giant Cape to keep some of the Pokémon alive for longer, which I feel I'd substitute the Potion for, but there are a lot of ways to make the deck work, for sure.
Potion, Red, and even Oricorio are all cards I'm not quite set on, so I'd love to hear what you created in the comments down below, to help me improve on the deck based on your own opinions. It definitely feels like it is missing something right now, but I feel the core is solid and can be interchangeable depending on your playstyle.

Ryken is the newest take on Naruto's world, where you create your character, get put into a clan, and forge your shinobi destiny. It's nothing we haven't seen before, but a new Roblox Naruto game is always exciting. If you're as excited as we are and want to stay up to date, then take a look at Roblox Ryuken Trello and Discord Links.
Roblox Ryuken Relevant Links
Roblox Ryken is very serious about making it big in the competitive Roblox world, which is why they have their Community, Discord, and even a Trello board.
As of writing this, the Discord group is just shy of 15k members, and around 3k of them are active. This is likely your go-to location if you want to stay up to date and experience the general vibe of the community surrounding Ryuken.
![]()
The Community Group is, unfortunately, very small. The Ryuken Wave Group is open to the public, but it seems like most players aren't interested in joining. Perhaps the devs know Discord is their main way of talking to the players, hence why they aren't trying to promote the Roblox Community group.
Last but not least, we have the Trello board. Ryuken has a very rich Trello board, filled with all sorts of helpful information. Whether you are looking for a specific Ninjutsu or just want to see a cool animation, this Trello board has got you covered. Here's everything you can find on the board:
As the game gets more updates and leaves early access, the Trello Board will surely get updated with more information, and we'll be all over it as soon as it does.
That's all there is to it. Have fun playing Roblox Ryuken, and if you haven't already, check out our Roblox Ryuken codes for some cool in-game freebies.

With the third major expansion coming to Pokémon TCG Pocket, trainers are once again asked to pick between one of two sets of packs. These packs, based on Solgaleo and Lunala, have exclusive cards split between them that you can't get any other way.
With the cards being split between two packs, it's a far better process than the original Genetic Apex pack, which had cards split between three packs instead, which should make finding the card you want that much easier.
If you are looking to find out what cards exist in the Solgaleo pack, then look no further, as we have everyone in a nice and tidy list for you down below.

Celestial Guardians have dropped into Pokémon TCG Pocket as trainers around the world scramble to open packs and discover what new cards await them in both the Solgaleo and Lunala packs.
With the release of this set, new cards have entered the fray that'll definitely shake up the meta and make some older decks viable again, while having new cards that can form their own solid new decks to mix up the formula. The ranked season this past month has been dominated by Giratina and Darkrai-ex decks, so I, for one, welcome this much-needed change.
If you don't know what to expect, or what to look out for, or want to have an idea of some of the more powerful cards in the recent release, then look no further. We got you covered.
The five best Celestial Guardians cards for climbing ranked
![]()
Celestian Guardians is completely meta-breaking, not only because some of the new cards offer great support for previously current sets, but also because there are a lot of support cards that can thrive by themselves. It's hard not to be excited about this new expansion set, and with a new ranked season on the horizon, let's jump into the cards you need to look out for when opening your next pack.
5. Poison Barb
![]()
It was hard to choose a 5th slot here early because of the limited knowledge of the set so far, but I decided to settle on Poison Barb mainly for its troll uses as a Tool Card. When used, if the Pokémon equipped with this tool card is damaged in to the Active Slot, the opposing Pokémon gets poisoned, which could be a cool new card for Koga decks or other Poison-type troll decks.
4. Oricorio
![]()
Any TCG players who know about Mimikyu from the physical TCG will love the ability of this card. Oricorio, when on the field, cannot take damage from an opponent's ex Pokémon. And as most decks have ex Pokémon in them or are the main focus, it's a great stall card to set up a backline that, even though it's an Electric-type Pokémon, could squeeze into many troll decks.
3. Lunala ex
![]()
A situational card, sure, but its Ability is where it really shines. Once per turn, you can transfer all your Psychic Energy from one of your Bench Pokémon to whichever Pokémon is in the active slot. This ability alone will allow you to swap in a badly hurt Mewtwo ex for a fresh one, or let you set up Energy on the backline to then transfer it onto a Psychic-type Pokémon that needs it, giving another dimension to an already powerful type deck.
2. Solgaleo ex
![]()
Dialag ex just got a new best friend thanks to this 180 HP powerhouse of a Steel-type card. Solgaleo has the ability to switch itself from the bench to the Active Spot and has a two-Metal Energy attack that deals 120 base damage. If you pair this with Dialga ex and have the Dialga set up your Solgaleo, you have a new meta deck on the horizon.
1. Rare Candy
![]()
Rare Candy is the best card of the set by far due to its ability to evolve one of your Basic Pokémon into its Stage 2 card, allowing you to turn your Charmander into a Charizard one turn earlier than normal. While you can't use it during your first turn or the first turn a Basic Pokémon was set down, its ability to speed up the game will only help certain decks get a one-turn advantage over their opponent without having to set up. Imagine having your Ralts instantly turn into a Gardevoir in a Mewtwo ex deck? Game over.
Let me know in the comments if you think a better card deserves to be on this list.

A new region is upon us in Pokémon TCG Pocket with the latest expansion coming out April 30, revolving around Alola, which Celestial Guardians split between a Solgeleo and Lunala-themed pack.
There are a bunch of cards to collect, like with previous expansions, with some truly meta-breaking cards arriving with this set that will shake the core of ranked play as we know it.
Complete Pokémon TCG Pocket Celestial Guardians (A3) card list
Celestial Guardians is the third major expansion (not including the subsets) for the mobile game and adds Alolan Pokémon and their regional forms into the game for the first time. There is also the game's first-ever 3-star rarity Trainer card in Lillie, which includes an effect similar to previously released Pokémon in previous expansions.
Rare Candy also makes an appearance, but it's hard to make out what the card effect does on the video, but we will be holding our breath to see if it's anything like its TCG counterpart, which lets you skip an entire middle-evolution of cards. A game-changer could be on the way; we just need to wait and see.
While this list doesn't go into it fully, some cards are also exclusive to certain packs, you can find which cards are exclusive to each pack by clicking this link for Solagelo and this link for Lunala.
With the set being split between two packs, you'll need to open different packs if you want to get the full set and find everything on offer, so be prepared for a grind if you are looking to get yourselves a Master's set and complete the full collection. Otherwise, at least try to find all the Diamond rarity cards to have any card you need when creating decks.

It's time for another major expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket with the release of the Alolan-themed Celestial Guardians, bringing a bunch of generation seven Pokémon between two different packs—Solgaleo and Lunala.
The situation is the same as the Space-Time Smackdown set released in January 2025, where each pack has its own exclusive cards to find, with Lunala having some of the better cards in the set, in our opinion. So it's definitely worth looking to open a few to find a few chase cards.
With so many to get in the Lunala pack, we thought we would put together this list of all the cards you can find, so you know what to look out for when trying to catch 'em all.
All Lunala pack Celestial Guardians exclusive cards
There is a lot to dive into, so use the table below to find every exclusive card obtainable in the Lunala pack so you can check off each one as you find it.
If you want to check out what's exclusive in the other Solgaelo pack, you can do so by clicking the link here.

Celestial Guardians is the third major expansion set for the mobile game Pokémon TCG Pocket and is based on the Alola region, home to Pokémon like Incineroar, Mimikyu, and Ultra Beasts. It's definitely worth getting excited, since the cards available are some of the best the game has ever seen.
When you first load into the game, you'll get the option to open either the Lunala pack or the Solgaleo pack. While regular trainers will know the difference between the packs, new players may not.
These packs have their own exclusive cards you can't find in the other, while both share a majority of the cards, so deciding which one to open is a bigger deal than you think it is.
What is the best Celestial Guardians pack to open in Pocket?
While there are only a few major card differences between the Solgaleo and Lunala booster packs, for collectors or those wanting to make specific decks, deciding which pack to open is vital to collecting 'em all and finding the exact card you want.
As with previous expansions, there are pack exclusives you need to consider, and while all the pack exclusive cards have different rarities, and some are better than others, it's all down to perspective on which one you want to open. Obviously, Lunala and Solgaleo ex are exclusive to their respective packs, but there are other Alolan Pokémon you can only find in one or the other, as well as those elusive trainer cards.
Here are some chase cards to look out for when opening packs to start, and some of the better cards each pack has to offer, alongside the rarity of each card.
If you want a full, definitive list of every card available per set, though, you can check out our Lunala and Solgaleo pack exclusives articles to see which cards are exclusive to each pack.
In our opinion, both packs are worth white but it depends on personal opinion. If you are going for metagame, maybe go for the Solgaleo pack to hopefully find Solgaleo ex for a Dialga ex deck variant, whereas Lunala ex might be better suited for any Psychic-type deck lovers out there.
There really is no major strong points, it's all down to personal opinion and what you are looking for, so be sure to check out what each deck has before making a decision.
