For years and years, video games—especially shooters—have gotten faster and faster. RoboCop: Rogue City, out now on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC (see on Amazon), bucks this trend and puts you in the clunky, lumbering metal boots of RoboCop himself.

How do you install and play a Minecraft snapshot? These snapshots are the very first iteration of Minecraft updates, and are a way for Mojang to test out bug fixes, technical changes, and new mechanics before officially rolling them out. Anyone with the Java edition of the creative game can try these features without any risk to your current world, so let's find out how to be the first to try the next big Minecraft update.

Since these updates come with so much new content, they need to be tested out first, and that's where Minecraft snapshots come in.

What are the newest Murder Mystery codes? Roblox games rarely throw up an intense experience as is offered by MM2, a game where you could be saddled with one of three roles; the murderer, a bystander, or the sheriff. The murderer has to, well, murder. The bystanders have to avoid the wrath of said murderer, and the sheriff has to figure out, and eliminate, the bad person.

This Roblox game is more cerebral than most, which means that while you'll rely on your wits most of the time, it never hurts to have a helping hand in the form of some freebies. MM2 codes are difficult to come by these days, but they are released every once in a while when a big update drops. If you're after other gifts, we have Project Mugetsu codes, and Blox fruit codes here.

But they expire fast.

Released all the way back in 2021, Grand Piece Online still sees hundreds of thousands of eager pirates and marines flock to its shores every day. And although there's certainly no shortage of Roblox adventures inspired by the One Piece anime and manga, this one still closely competes with the biggest and best. For those, you'll want to check out Blox Fruits codes and King Legacy codes.

Hallowe'en may be over (just), but for this month's Reality Frights, I've got a wonderfully seasonal game for you. It's the brand-new remake of the grand old mystery puzzler The 7th Guest, a game which Bill Gates notably referred to as "The new standard of interactive entertainment." In fairness to ol' William, he said this seven months before Doom blew out the new standard's insides with a 12-gauge shotgun, shunting PC gamers' tastes away from kitsch adventure games and toward grisly murder-fests. But The 7th Guest is nonetheless fondly remembered for its spooky atmosphere, alongside its blend of pre-rendered backgrounds and live action cutscenes you could call 'pioneering' had it not proved such an evolutionary dead end.

Today, the original 7th Guest looks more dated than Henry VIII, which is probably why this remake replaces everything but the very skeleton of the 1993 original. The game still takes place in a creepy mansion belonging to a murderous toymaker, and still involves six eccentric guests to the house searching for a missing boy named Tad. But it's otherwise been completely rebuilt, with whole new puzzles and whole new mechanics, all designed to be experienced in first-person VR.

If there's one genre I've never quite had the reflexes or spatial awareness for, it's the bullet hell shooter. I've long admired their intricate dances of orbs and criss-crossing laser fire, but I have long resigned myself to merely being a spectator of such games, rather than an active ship pilot. Cobalt Core, however, is exactly my kind of speed. It's not a bullet hell shooter, but it is about two spaceships facing off against each other in an eyes-locked duel of incoming cannon fire, and sliding side to side to avoid getting exploded as you attempt to unravel the mysterious timeloop your crew of weird space animals appear to be stuck in. Just, you know, in a neat, turn-based fashion, where your opponent's attacks are flagged up in advance, and you must use your randomised deck of cards to weave and dodge your way to victory. It's very moreish, and very Into The Breach. I love it.

Paratopic was a muddy, blood-filled VHS cassette of a game, a game of midnight highways, pinched, pixellated faces and acidic service station lighting. The next game from developer Arbitrary Metric, Roman Sands RE:Build, is... very different, at least on the surface.

The first Act of the new Steam demo sees you staggering onto the beach below some kind of tropical resort. You wander up past the pools to the cavernous lobby and are immediately set upon by haggard guests, who appear to think you're a member of staff. So you become a member of staff, fetching margaritas, tracking down the check-in ledger and running downstairs to adjust the boiler settings. You earn XP from quests towards employee ranks that unlock useful items at vending machines. And you try to work out what you're doing here, and why everybody's so terrified of the sun. I haven't deciphered the mystery yet.

FFXIV Callback Campaign Returns Final Fantasy XIV

Square Enix revealed the Final Fantasy XIV Callback Campaign, a recurring campaign to welcome past FFXIV players back, is live again in-game. The promotion is now live and lasts until December 14, 2023.

How the event works is that it is an opportunity to potentially get past players back into the game. If someone in your Friends or Free Company Member list hasn't played for at least 90 days and owns the game, you can then select "Invite Friend to Return" from the menu. It appears below the "Assign Friend Group" message in the drop-down menu. You can invite people up to five times.  In Mog Station, you can check the "No. of Friends Called Back" section to see if anyone responded to your invitation.

From there, you get a reward if the people you do invite return. The delivery Moogle in-game will give you 5 Gold Chocobo Feathers. This only happens if someone who gets the Callback Campaign email subscribes again after you send an invite. The official page noted that you can get a Twintania mount for 15 Gold Chocobo Feathers, an Amber Draught Chocobo mount for 8, a Managarm mount for 8, five Rare Dyes for one, and 10 Aetheryte Tickets for one.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC, and the FFXIV Callback Campaign runs until December 14, 2023. The Fall Guys crossover campaign is also now live in the game for a limited time.

The day before he took off, he also held a talking Zatsudan stream.

Here's the announcement from Fulgur Ovid about his break, with the Nijisanji Vtuber thanking people for watching and supporting him before taking time off.

This isn't the first time Ovid went on hiatus in 2023. The performer previously announced back in May 2023 that he'd be taking some time off. At the time, he cited health reasons for the absence. That break ended up lasting about a month. He ended up returning on June 4, 2023. 

The Nijisanji Noctyx member Fulgur Ovid is now on break, and there's no word yet on when he might return to streaming.

First Trailer for Next Grand Theft Auto Coming Early December

Rockstar Games announced that the first trailer for the new Grand Theft Auto game, which could be GTA 6, is coming in early December 2023. This first-ever official look at the title is being released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the publisher.

Bloomberg previously shared rumors that the long-awaited trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 would be coming sometime during December 2023 in association with the 25th anniversary. No official word had been given by Rockstar Games until the announcement made on November 8, 2023.

Rumors have spread about GTA 6 for nearly a decade as fans of the franchise awaited more information about the follow-up to the extremely successful Grand Theft Auto 5. Back in September 2022, developer footage of the new Grand Theft Auto game leaked through a network hack into Rockstar Games. Two UK-based teens were charged with the illegal hack into Rockstar Games' network.

Grand Theft Auto 5 recently joined one of the various subscription services. It is on Xbox Game Pass, making it available to Xbox players who pay for access to the library. Rockstar Games also recently released Red Dead Redemption with the Undead Nightmare expansion onto the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. The collection released digitally on August 17, 2023, and released physically on October 13, 2023.

More information about the next Grand Theft Auto game will be released early December 2023. Grand Theft Auto 5 is currently available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

FFVII Remake Cloud Dress

Square Enix shared new concept art of one of the dress options that Cloud can wear in FFVII Remake. The dress showcased is the second option out of three available.

While Cloud can wear three different dresses during the infiltration of Don Corneo's mansion, the dress shown is the second one available. This dress can be accessed if the player completes three particular Odd Jobs during Chapter 9, The Town That Never Sleeps. These Odd Jobs are The Party Never Stops, A Dynamite Body, and Burning Thighs.

Check out the new concept art of Cloud wearing one of his three dress options in FFVII Remake here:

https://twitter.com/FFVIIR_CLOUD/status/1722177142568767666

The post above mentions that the concept art of Cloud shows him before applying makeup. You can see the comparison with the in-game render of Cloud. In addition, Madam M and Chocobo Sam have additional dialogue if Cloud talks to them wearing a dress.

Meanwhile, to access the first dress available to Cloud in FFVII Remake, players need to ignore all side quests in Chapter 9. Square Enix previously shared concept art of this dress through its social media accounts.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is immediately available on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC. Its sequel, FFVII Rebirth, will come out for the PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024. An exclusivity arrangement will end on May 29, 2024.

Doki Doki Literature Club Sayori Pop Up Parade figure

Good Smile Company announced that pre-orders for a Pop Up Parade figure of Sayori from Doki Doki Literature Club are open. You will have until December 7, 2023 to put in your orders.

The Sayori figure Pop Up Parade figure costs 4800 JPY or $31.99. Those in Japan can expect to get her some time in May 2024. Meanwhile, Good Smile Company will ship out the figure in Q4 2024 for North America.

Pop Up Parade figures from Good Smile Company are generally around 17-18 centimeters tall. You also cannot change their poses. The Doki Doki Literature Club Sayori Pop Up Parade figure looks like she's waving hello at you, since she's got her arm up and a big smile on her face. It looks as if she's in the middle of running towards the protagonist as well. In the past, Good Smile Company also released a Nendoroid of her.

In Doki Doki Literature Club, Sayori is the Vice President of the Literature Club, and she's also the protagonist's childhood friend. At first, she fits the classic archetype of the bubbly and cheery childhood best friend. However, players will quickly learn that there is more behind her happy facade when they find out just what kind of game Doki Doki Literature Club is.

The Pop Up Parade figure of Sayori from Doki Doki Literature Club is open for pre-order until December 7, 2023. Doki Doki Literature Club is readily available on the macOS, Windows PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and the Nintendo Switch.

Mudkip

A Pokemon Mudkip plush bundle is available to order from Build-a-Bear. This set costs $72, and it's only available online.

The bundle will come with the Mudkip plush, a raincoat set, and a sleeper. Though Build-a-Bear offers the option to turn your toy into a scented one, the Mudkip is not eligible for that. The plush will also come with a sound chip which can play five different sounds. If you click on the video on the webpage for it, you can hear what it sounds like. Mudkip sounds like it does in the anime rather than in the game. You can put the sleeper (which looks like a onesie) or the raincoat on Mudkip, or you can simply leave it as is.

The Pokemon franchise has always been popular with the toy market due to the many species in the series. Build-a-Bear has released several Pokemon plushes in the past. Examples include Teddiursa, Sprigatito, Growlithe, Leafeon, and Umbreon.

Mudkip is the Water-type starter from Generation III (Ruby, Sapphire). It looks similar to animals like mudskippers or axolotls. It is a fairly popular Pokemon not only for its design, but also due to it being the subject of the "So i herd u liek mudkipz?" [sic] meme, which spread on the Internet during the early to mid 2000s.

The Pokemon Mudkip plush bundle is available to order from the Build-a-Bear website. It delivers to Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

     Modern Warfare Zombies EssenceIf you're familiar with Call of Duty Zombies, you're familiar with the Points system. In Modern Warfare Zombies, Points are being replaced with Essence but it's basically the same thing. Best way to farm Essence in Modern Warfare Zombies (MWZ) Whether you see it as Points in old-school Call of Duty Zombies or Cash like in Warzone and DMZ, Essence is the in-game currency in Modern Warfare Zombies. You use it to buy wall weapons, buy Perk-a-Colas, use the Mystery Box, use the Pack-a-Punch, and purchase items at Buy Stations. Related: How to get all 5 Ammo Mods in Modern Warfare Zombies (MWZ) The best strategy to collect Essence in MWZ is very similar to the best strategy in old-school COD Zombies — train zombies together in a row and mow them down. You get Essence as you defeat zombies, so do that efficiently by rounding up a big herd of zombies and lighting them up in a line. MWZ is different because there are vehicles. Roundi...

     Destiny 2 Season Of The Wish Release DateBungie has surprise-dropped the name and date of Destiny 2 Season 23. In this guide, you'll learn what Destiny 2 Season 23 is called, when it starts and ends, and much more. Destiny 2 Season of the Wish: Start and end dates and times, explained On November 7, 2023, Bungie revealed that Destiny 2 Season 23 is called Season of the Wish and it starts on November 28, 2023. The start time for the new season is whenever the Tuesday weekly maintenance is over, so about an hour or two after 10 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. CEST.

     Destiny 2 Season Of The WishBungie surprise-dropped the name for Destiny 2 Season 23, it's Season of the Wish, and players are roasting Bungie in the comments… for good reason. Prepare for an onslaught of wish jokes.

Related: Best Destiny 2 Strand Titan build: PvP and PvE The top two comments are my favorites: wndrboy10 goes in with the "Season of the Wish you didn't lay off half your staff," and kanxander finishes them with, "Season of Wish they didn't fire Michael Salvatori." If you've missed the last week of Bungie news, the scoop is that Bungie laid off around 100 employees because Destiny 2 isn't currently as profitable as they'd like it to be and The Final Shape wasn't going in the direction they needed it to be.

     Based on the 1976 hard sci-fi novel of the same name written by Stanislaw Lem, The Invincible is a narrative-driven mystery set on an alien planet. It falls squarely into the 'walking-sim' category of game, putting the emphasis firmly on telling a story while you slowly ambulate around the world, soaking in the sights and occasionally flipping a switch or making a decision that may impact the story. In the end, there's an engaging story being told in The Invincible, but one that's only for patient players because even by the genre's standards, it can be a slow game.
