Before you can attempt them, you need to know the Spirit Vessel locations and know exactly what a Shadow Stone is. First, however, you need to find the scrolls in the IO bases. Completing both of these quests for the first time will reward you with 30k XP, which will help you unlock more Battle Stars for the Season 8 Battle Pass, and you’ll receive a small amount of XP upon any repeats....

Many resources, such as the world’s currency Mora, materials for upgrading your characters and weapons can all be earned through play. But if you want to be able to unlock Genshin Impact’s growing roster of charming characters, including five-star characters like Diluc, Klee, or Raiden, then you’ll need Acquaint Fate and Intertwined Fate that need to be acquired with Primogems. After making a wish, you’ll receive Starglitter and Stardust, which can also be used for redeeming Acquaint Fate and Intertwined Fate....

The show - which promises a mix of premieres, live gameplay demos, and announcements - will take place at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, in front of a live audience of fans. Tickets go on sale in “early” 2023, but for those unable or uninterested in attending in-person, Summer Game Fest will also stream live on all major streaming platforms. Summer Game Fest 2023 marks the event’s fourth year of operation, and, as is now customary, the live showcase will kickstart a season of smaller events and showcases from participating developers and publishers....

The former is interesting not just because of her “rare narrative screen appearance”, as The Hollywood Reporter puts it, but also because the Spice girl is married to team principal of Red Bull’s Formula One team, Christian Horner. Sony’s live-action Gran Turismo adaptation was announced earlier this year, and confirmation of an 11th August 2023 release date for the movie followed not long after. Stranger Things’ David Harbour was the first member of the cast to be officially revealed with the news he’ll be working alongside District 9 and Elyisum director Neill Blomkamp, who’s helming the project....

So what can we say about the BX500? The main thing to keep in mind is that since this is a DRAM-less SSD and uses four-layer NAND flash memory, it’s best used for storage rather than as a primary OS drive. That’s because this configuration has weaker sustained random performance than TLC drives with DRAM caches, like Crucial’s own MX500. The upside to this configuration is that Crucial is able to make much bigger drives at a given cost, allowing these drives to hit extremely aggressive price points like this current sub-£100 price for 2TB....

Get the Samsung Odyssey G7 4K 144Hz for £499 (was £649) Unlike Samsung’s best known Odyssey monitors that use a curved VA panel, this one uses a flat IPS panel. That means you get wide viewing angles and gorgeous colour reproduction, as well as excellent motion clarity from 1ms pixel response times. However, contrast isn’t quite as good as a VA or OLED monitor, which will probably be most noticeable in dark rooms or when watching dark scenes in games....

Flashy footage from the game gave us our first proper look at Harley Quinn, who looks to be a major antagonist for Gotham Knights’ four heroes, alongside Mr Freeze, Clayface and the Court of Owls. The trailer concluded with the reveal of a new launch date: 21st October, four days earlier than previously planned. No mention was made of why that day has shifted, though it does add a little extra distance between Gotham Knights and the 28th October launch for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2....

The original Game & Watch consoles were one of Nintendo’s first globally successful products, and over the last few years have seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to two successful re-releases. In 2020 Nintendo came out with the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros, and in 2021 we got the Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda. A Super Mario Bros Game & Watch is more expensive at the moment, but The Legend of Zelda edition is regularly discounted....

Some people are saying about Grindstone that any puzzle based on a simple gameplay idea, in this case colour matching, stretched over several hundred levels, ought to get, well, grindy at some point. I’ve never played any of the games I’ve just mentioned with finishing them in mind, or getting somewhere. I just enjoy seeing what will happen, as if I have little to do with it. All these games have something beyond the perfect amount of challenge that’s supposed to be conducive to flow - it’s the sheer variety of gameplay options that stumps me....

This is apparently a proper, full fat port. There are no surprise new microtransactions or anything like that. It’s the full game, Gift Bag DLCs included, as you remember it on PC or consoles. And it costs £23.99 (check regional pricing). It’s been developed over two years by Larian and Russian partner Elveris. DOS2 iPad has touch controls, obviously, but also supports mouse and keyboard as well as game pads, such as the PS5 pad....

The video below shows the new Desert Fortress in action. We see the new menus, a first look at the desert terrain, and what it looks like underground. Dwarf Fortress is perhaps the deepest simulation of a world ever created, an infamously complex. It has for years had ASCII dwarves - little smiley faces fewer pixels than the average emoji. For the upcoming Steam release, Dwarf Fortress is getting actual graphics and much more in a bid to make it a tad accessible....

The Duviri Paradox will be Warframe’s latest open-world expansion, following the likes of Plains of Eidolon and Heart of Deimos, and plunges players into the extremely weird world of Duviri, featuring a sort of fantasy western aesthetic shot through with floating islands and fractals. It’s also a world that appears to exist inside of the head of new big bad Dominus Thrax, who additionally serves as its less-than-benevolent ruler. Everyone living within Thrax’s domain is trapped inside an endless time loop, doomed to be executed over and over and over again....

This means it is still slated to turn up in the same year as Gotham Knights, the next game from Arkham Oranges studio Warner Bros. Montreal. The setup is Amanda Waller has stuck bombs in the heads of the team members, forcing them on a mission to kill the Justice League, as the name of the game suggests....

Following December’s Wreck the Halls Update, we’ve now been given an early peek at “what’s arriving in early 2023” for the people of Arkesia. The update has been divided into months for ease of access, and confirms that along with January’s Witcher Event, there’s also a quality-of-life update with unspecified improvements to guild systems, guild PvP, and Una’s Tasks. February marks the game’s first anniversary and to celebrate, you’ll get to visit - and fight over - the Rowen continent, albeit only if you’ve hit item level 1445....
