This guide will tell you everything you need to know in order to smoothly transition from your old Lies of P save to the Overture content....

I’m exhausted by the evil Superman trope. For years, comic fans and casual moviegoers alike have claimed that the Man of Steel is ‘boring’ and that his brand of kindness is old-fashioned, cliche, and out of vogue. Everyone is so jaded and cynical that the idea ofa Boy Scout saving squirrelsis too far-fetched, so we twist him into a vengeful God and authoritarian figure who resents humanity — surely, that’s more believable than a selfless do-gooder?...

But once you’ve got your feet under you, you’ll be clearing waves of Zeds effortlessly....

Undeniably, one of the best parts about anyvideo game, besides playing the game itself,is the lore. We’re not talking aboutjust any kind of lore either. We’re talking about the kind that has you reading every Codex page, listening to every audio tape and interacting with every piece of secondary media possible. One game with fantastic lore isLeague of Legends, the long-running MOBA fromRiot Gamesthatboasts over 150 characters. While there are a ton of LoL lore experts, apparently one of them isn’t Faker, AKA the world’s best League player....

TheNintendo Switch 2is officially a month old, and while people were pretty mixed on whether or not it seemed worthwhile,the console has sold incredibly well throughout June. I wish I could complain, butdespite my disinterest in the consolefollowing the initial pricing and launch date reveals,I accidentally ended up with one on launch day. Oops. But here we are, a whole month after that fateful day, and the question remains: is the Nintendo Switch 2 actually worth owning?...

Summary Magic: The Gathering’s long-awaitedUniverses Beyondcollab with theFinal Fantasyseries is just weeks away. In the run-up to its launch, more cards have been revealed, and most recently, that’s included Clive fromFinal Fantasy 16.

Yesterday, he did just that, making it so everyone who saw him at PAX East would know about the new card....

Mario Kart Worldis great. I’ve played so much now that I’m afraid to check in on the vague hour count Nintendo has carried over to theSwitch 2. However, no matter how much I love the new entry in the series, its success, coupled with the other kart racers coming our way this year, has me pining for a newCrash Team Racing. Even thoughSonic Racing: CrossWorldswill attempt to compete with Mario Kart World - andKirby Air Riderswill be here too, I guess - there is nothing on the same level as Mario Kart....

While many think of game piracy in the traditional sense —downloading cracked games free of chargeto yourPC— there is a widespread community of handheld piracy,namely finding and downloading ROMsfor theNintendo Switch, also free of charge. It turns out, that community just took a major hit. As first spotted by Kotaku, Nsw2u, one of the biggest Switch piracy sites around, has been seized by the FBI. Yes, that FBI. The website now has a disclaimer that says the site has been seized:...

Yes, for the Oblivion noobs, there’s a unicorn to be found in Cyrodiil, and you can mount it and make it your primary horse too....

Summary Asgames that take long breaks in their developmenthave shown, patience will always pay off in the end. Doom 2016, Alan Wake 2, and Red Dead Redemption 2 are proof of that. Developing a game is a challenging task as is, but even more so when there’s internal turmoil within a studio and further pressure from fans amid necessary delays. The best example would be a game like Cyberpunk 2077, first announced in 2012, but would ultimately launch in 2020 after several delays and only continue to be improved with updates, and becomeone of the best sci-fi RPGs....
