Looking online it seems there have been approximately 64,534 Star Wars games released since the first film hit theaters in the '70s. (Editor's note: That's incorrect.) But, while many of them are good, some are really, really good. These are the kind of games that are so great that even non-Star Wars fans can't deny…

     Lost Ark's May update adds the MMO's first legion raid

Lost Ark's May update will give western players their first glimpse of a legion raid. While the popular MMORPG has been around for a few months now, the lengthy encounter is one of the endgame slices of content from the eastern version that we've yet to see.

SmilegateRPG describes legion raids as "difficult team-based activities that require teamwork to understand and execute the strategy necessary to counter each legion commander's unique characteristics, abilities, and mechanics". They can take a while to master, so you're getting gates that act as checkpoints to save your progress as you advance.

The first legion raid you're getting is Valtan, which is an eight-player encounter with two checkpoints and a "swathe of new mechanics". You'll need to get your item level to 1,415 to try normal and 1,445 for hard. If you manage to complete the raid, you'll get materials to craft a new rarity of gear called 'Relic' for your troubles. SmilegateRPG says these provide more "impactful armour and weapon bonuses" alongside "bigger stat bonuses and more engraving nodes on accessories".

     Diablo 2: Resurrected already has a max level Season 1 Ladder player

After one week of intense grinding, a Diablo 2: Resurrected player has won the race to reach the maximum level in the first competitive Ladder season. The whole thing was streamed on Twitch by the victor Teo1904 and certainly made for a wild week of speedrunning entertainment.

As you can peep from Teo1904's Twitch overlay (below), it took him 138 hours to go from level one to 99. It gets harder to level up as you go, too - making up the last level to hit 99 alone took more than one day. Teo1904 reckons he got 34 hours of sleep during the marathon grind. It took the streamer around eight days to hit level 99, which works out to around five hours of rest each night. Credit to him for catching some winks, though. We've seen Apex Legends and League of Legends streamers go to max rank from zero in single streams, and it looks brutal.

Teo1904 didn't hit the milestone by himself, though. The streamer got by with a little help from pals MacroBioBoi, BTNeandertha1, Rob2628, Jymnasium, Raxxanterax, and more, with the group running various strategies to optimise the level grind. One of the more touching details, though, comes from the name of Teo1904's character. As MacroBioBoi explains on Reddit, the 'Unsullied' in 'Teo_Unsuillied' references a dear friend who unfortunately passed away over the past year.

     League of Legends patch 12.9 notes – Taliyah update, EDG skins

The League of Legends patch 12.9 notes are starting to make their way onto the Public Beta Environment (PBE). While LoL patch 12.8 has just gone live, we already have a good idea of what Riot Games is working on next for the popular MOBA game.

While you wait for new content to populate the PBE, you've got plenty to check out in League of Legends' latest patch. Riot has overhauled Swain's kit to make him a more attractive pick in the current meta, while 18 other champions have also been tweaked. If you're looking for some more visual flair, Riot has added a lovely batch of Solar and Lunar Eclipse skins for Kayle, Sejuani, Sivir, Aatrox, and Senna.

While patch 12.9 is still in the earlier stages of development, you've got plenty to eyeball. Riot is working on a mid-scope update for Taliyah that'll be just as extensive as Swain's rework. You've also got several new High Noon skins for the likes of Katarina, Leona, and more that make the champions look like gothic vampire hunters. If that isn't your style, Riot has also added some icy skins to honour esports outfit Edward Gaming's 2021 World Championship.

     This Minecraft mod adds stronger bosses into the mix

Someone has created a Minecraft mod that effectively gives you the 'new game plus' experience. It makes sense as you'll often reach a stopping point in the sandbox game once you've beaten all the bosses or built something incredible. It's one where you can start again as often as you want for a new challenge, but the task is often more about the environment than the big fights. Sure, creatures like the Warden are tough, but that's not really the point. The Progressive Bosses mod aims to change that by making bosses harder.

Progressive Bosses is a mod for Minecraft 1.18 that has a plethora of changes designed to keep the boss fights ramping up in a more challenging way. It operates differently in both single-player and multiplayer too, so you'll find fun fights no matter how you like to play. You can read all the specifics on the site.

Primarily focusing on the Wither and the Ender Dragon, this mod buffs them up whenever you kill them off by increasing their health and damage or giving them a new ability.

     League of Legends 12.10 patch will buff champion durability

Riot Games is delivering on its recent promise to "slow the pace" of League of Legends combat in update 12.10 with its 'champion durability update'. As part of patch 12.10, the MOBA game's developer aims to increase champion survivability to allow for more counterplay and create opportunities for longer 5v5 teamfights.

Riot says that it believes "League is at its best with fast paced, high-intensity combat; but now that it's gone too far in that direction we need to rein it back a bit." League of Legends update 12.9 released recently on the PBE and featured several nerfs to champion damage, but this planned update is set to buff champion durability across the whole roster in line with Riot's goals to slow the game's tempo down.

The team states that it doesn't believe any particular champions or items are to blame, but that damage is too high across the board. Their plan is to increase the survivability of all champions with buffs to base health, as well as increasing the health, armour, and magic resist per level values. To ensure that this increased durability doesn't cause fresh issues, it is also planning to nerf Baron, turrets, and mana regeneration.

     Nvidia fined $5.5 million for downplaying crypto GPU business

Nvidia has received a fine of $5.5 million from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for failing to disclose the impact of crypto mining on the sale of its GeForce GPUs. The company has neither admitted nor denied the charges, and has agreed to a cease-and-desist order in addition to paying the penalty in full.

While it's no secret that demand from crypto miners has contributed to the limited availability of the best graphics cards from Nvidia in recent years, this charge stems the company's revenue during the 2018 fiscal year. Throughout that time, the SEC says "Nvidia customers increasingly used its gaming GPUs for cryptomining," following higher demand and interest from consumers in cryptocurrency.

The SEC asserts that Nvidia "deprived investors of critical information to evaluate the company's business in a key market", due to the company "creating the impression that its gaming business was not significantly affected by cryptomining." As a result, the company has been found to be in violation of the Securities Act of 1993 and the disclosure provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

     The best webcam in 2022

Investing in the best webcam is a surefire way to improve your streaming or home office setup. While they're often viewed as a gaming PC peripheral, a standalone camera will often run circles around the built-in offerings found in the best gaming laptop.

Whatever the best webcam for your needs is, there are plenty of options available to you. While cameras from big-name brands like Elgato, Razer, and Logitech will typically offer the best specs such as high resolution and frame rates, there's great value picks to be had from lesser-known boutique manufacturers.

If you've money to spare, a DSLR camera will offer a higher quality experience over even the best webcam, but for everyone else, the latter will do wonderfully with 1080p video capture at 60 frames per second and be decidedly cheaper. Some devices even support HDR, but the only streaming service that currently supports high-dynamic range is YouTube Gaming, so keep that in mind if you're looking for something for Twitch or Zoom calls.

     Starfield mods – what we know so far

So you want to know about Starfield mods? Mod support is an important part of many PC games, but especially RPG games. Skyrim has endured all these years partly because it's a great game, partly because Bethesda keeps releasing it on hitherto unknown gaming platforms, but also because it's powered by a vibrant and creative modding community.

You can imagine then, that those looking forward to Bethesda's new upcoming open-world game will be very interested in knowing about the prospect of Starfield mods. Running around a fantasy game with custom horse armour or new powers is fine and all, but we're talking space here. The boundless, unhinged creativity of the Bethesda modding scene with a corner of the galaxy to play with? Sign us up.

Thankfully Starfield mod support is one of the few things we have a definitive answer for, like whether or not there will be a Starfield Game Pass release. In a Reddit AMA held in November 2021, Todd Howard himself talked about Starfield mod support, stating "Our plan [is] to have full mod support like our previous games. Our modding community has been with us for 20 years. We love what they do and hope to see more make a career out of it."

In theory I'm rather partial to slash-em-up crowd fighting games, but I've never got on with the big names in the genre. Your Devil May Cries and your God Of Warses are the obvious reference points for describing Ultra Age, but it doesn't really feel like them, and I don't think it's trying to either.

The basic idea is that you're stranded on a jungle planet full of industrial ruins, and have to fight through robots and huge animals in small groups, switching between several (kinda samey) swords as needed. It's not really doing anything spectacular, but it's enough of its own thing to feel like more than just a budget God Of Cries.

Unpacking PS4 and PS5 Versions Appear Next Week

Unpacking is getting a new home on PlayStation platforms this month, as Humble announced the PS4 and PS5 version release dates. People will be able to find it on both systems on May 10, 2022. This means Unpacking will be available on all major consoles. When it debuted back in November 2022, it launched on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC.

Unpacking is a puzzle game that also features some narrative elements based on environmental cues. Players follow a person starting with their childhood in 1997. At first, they only unpack the character's room as their family moves into a new home. From there, it shifts to other major moves in their life. For example, the 2004 move involves the character heading to college and moving into a dorm room. Later moves involve heading out on their own for the first time or moving in with another person. To "win" each year's stages, you must place things in the proper rooms and get everything unpacked.

The PlayStation Blog post accompanying the Unpacking PS4 and PS5 announcement also mentioned some of the Easter eggs in-game. For example, the alarm clock is highlighted. Once placed in a room, it can be interacted with to make it go from flashing 12:00 to showing the "actual" time in-game.

Unpacking will come to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on May 10, 2022. It is immediately available on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC.

New DNF Duel Trailer Focuses on Characters' Illustrations

A new DNF Duel trailer focusing on its characters is here, and it teases more news and content. The first half of the video focuses on illustrations of its fighters. These seem like they could be shots pulled from an arcade or story mode. The description featured a note that said, "We'll be back with more news for you soon!" This could be referring to more mode and roster news.

The illustrations in the DNF Duel trailer begin by showing off the Berserker and Grappler characters. Berserker is surrounded by enemies, while Grappler is surrounded by fallen foes. After that, the Inquisitor appears holding her axe. The image after that features an encounter between the Hitman and Ranger. It is followed by the Kunoichi in a city, leaning against a wall while she observes other people. The Crusader appears to be working with the Ghostblade in the following shot. Finally, there's a moment that shows the Vanguard and Berserker facing off. From there, the video shows some in-battle footage.

Here's the new DNF Duel trailer showing off characters and art.

A few members of the cast didn't appear in the teaser's illustrations. Both the Dragon Knight and Striker were absent. It also didn't show a character Arc System Works has been teasing for a while. That's the Mechanic.

DNF Duel will some to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC on June 28, 2022. Pre-orders are open.

     Nvidia Crypto Money Sec Settlement Mining Gpu Graphics Cards Gaming AvailabilityWe all had a bad time waiting out the graphics card shortage that took place from late 2020 up until recently, but it wasn't the first time crypto mining was to blame for a lack of Nvidia and AMD GPUs. Back in 2017 and 2018 there was another similar situation going on with the GTX 10 Series that led to huge profit increases for Nvidia and higher prices for gamers. Although the sting back then wasn't nearly as bad as what we just experienced, it does point to a trend at how Nvidia likes to handle sales.   You got the cash, Nvidia has the splash Simply put, cryptomining and productivity tasks are for business and gaming is just a hobby (for most). Expectedly, companies and profit-geared individuals are far more willing to pay more and to buy in bulk compared to traditional individual retail sales for graphics cards. Once things started heating up during the last crypto boom, Nvidia was in a great place as a market leader to supply plenty of graphics cards for increased d...

     Bethesda Starfield excitement interest featureStarfield is the latest open-world RPG from Bethesda Game Studios. It's a game that, on paper, should be giving people plenty of reasons to get excited about it. Starfield is Bethesda's first original IP in 25 years, it's set in a new sci-fi universe, and powered by a new engine. Yet, despite all of that, the buzz amongst gamers seems almost mixed at best. That might be due to the questionable quality of Bethesda's most recent game releases, or a perceived oversaturation of open-world RPGs in recent years. For one reason or another, Starfield isn't setting the gaming world on fire just yet, and Bethesda needs to show more to change player interest. Show, don't tell The easiest explanation is one that will hopefully be rectified this summer: it's hard to get excited for a game, especially a new IP like Starfield, without seeing any gameplay footage. The initial teaser trailer in 2018 was little more than a reveal of the logo and setting. Last year's i...

     Outriders profitReports have emerged, revealing that Outriders hasn't made a profit for developer People Can Fly or publisher Square Enix. A director's report from People Can Fly gave us a detailed look at its financial situation. Square Enix hasn't made any kind of announcement regarding this just yet, but more information regarding Outriders' profitability may come with its 2021 report later in May. This has been an ongoing issue between the developer and publisher for quite some time, though. People Can Fly expected to receive a royalty fee from Square Enix last August, but the developer never received that fee throughout the course of 2021. Square Enix never told People Can Fly how many copies of the game had sold. This, in combination with the lack of payment, led many to assume that Outriders had not made enough revenue to qualify for the royalty fee. And now, over a year after its release, People Can Fly believes that Outriders may never be profitable.   Outriders h...
