Skateboarding games have been a core genre of gaming since the ’80s, and while the scene has mainly been dominated by either Tony Hawk’s series of skateboarding games or EA’s Skate series, there have been plenty of other skateboarding games worthy of merit. Better still, there are plenty of skateboarding games that are a bit weird. Whether it’s due to the control method used to perform tricks in-game, the actual tasks involved beyond just performing tricks or the overall aesthetic of the game, some skateboarding games are completely bizarre....

Eve Vanguard isn’t the first time CCP Games has dipped its futuristic toes into the FPS genre. That curiosity began with Dust 514, which launched for the PlayStation 3 back in 2013. A free-to-play title featuring MMO elements, Dust 514 shared Eve Online’s setting of New Eden and featured interconnectivity between the two titles. Eve Online players could hire Dust 514 mercenaries, the outcome of Dust 514 battles affected political powers in Eve Online, and players could work in tandem to coordinate attacks, such as Eve Online players positioning themselves above planets with bombardment equipment to attack a planet flagged by a Dust 514 ally....

One of the unique things about LVL UP Expo is the sheer number of free experiences it has. This year’s convention, hosted at the Las Vegas Convention Center this past weekend, featured free professional wrestling, free drone racing, free VR, free retro console gaming, and most impressively of all, a Japanese arcade with over 200 machines, all set to free play. In all my years of attending gaming conventions, I’ve never seen anything like it....

It’s beenwell over a decade since BioShock Infinite was released, and if you were hoping to see anotherBioShockgame in the near future, then think again. According to new reporting from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, the unrevealed next entry in the larger BioShock franchise is seemingly in trouble, with plans to undergo a “revamp.” Elsewhere, a remake of a classic BioShock title was also reportedly canceled. BioShock Is All About Narrative, Which Makes This Update Rather Troubling In his report, Schreier notes that the next BioShock game, which is being developed by Cloud Chamber, recently failed a review held by 2K executives....

Quick Links The monthly Drop Event inPokemon TCG Pocketis back, and this time the focus is on Pokemon of the Alola region. Alola is a region of tropical islands and warm, sandy beaches, so the highlight of the event is the Ice-type Alolan Ninetales. Ninetales was a popular Pokemon in the original Kanto games, and the gorgeous white-furred Alolan version may be even more popular. And while the Pokemon TCG Pocket card isn’t great, the art certainly belongs in any fan’s collection....

Baldur’s Gate 3, muchlike Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to be, is done with regular content updates from developers Larian Studios. April’s ‘Patch 8’added new subclasses and updated the game’s photo mode, with Larian expressing, “We’ve told the stories the way we needed to tell them. Patch 8 will be the last game patch to introduce new content.” But while Larian-developed content for Baldur’s Gate 3 will be no more, users are gettinga flurry of player-generated content to dive into....

Baldur’s Gate 3has a ridiculous amount of content, but not everything that was planned for the companions made it into the final game. Whether it was cut for time constraints or because thewriters just took a character in a different direction, there are a bunch of unused conversations and scenarios that are still in the files, but typically inaccessible. One such scene involvesAstarion, and was only accessibleduring early access. Back then, as long as you were not playing as Astarion, you would get an event during a long rest in which the vampire wakes up from a nightmare....

Some of the cutscenes inBaldur’s Gate 3are quite funny, even if the world might soon come to an end. However, Druid’s have an unfair advantage in fun factor, as certain cutscenes allow them to remain in their Wild Shape avatar. This has resulted inrare dialogues,great photos, and evenmore options during romance scenes. However, someone may have just stumbled upon the most hilarious Wild Shape cutscene. If you head over to the north-east of the Emerald Grove, you’ll come across The Secluded Cove....

Summary There’s a piece of gear inBaldur’s Gate 3called the Shadeclinger Armour that you’re able to grabin Act 2 at the Last Light Inn. It might not seem like much, giving you just +1 to stealth and Advantage on saving throws while obscured, but it’s actually “broken as hell.” As u/Randomly_Typing76 pointed out, you don’t need to have the armour equipped for the Advantage to work. you may take it off, and the effect will remain until you long rest....

Quick Links There are two ways to think about defense inCollege Football 26: you can react and adapt to what the offense is doing, or you can set the pace and force them to adapt to what you’re doing. It’s often a push and pull of this throughout the game, and you’ll need to be familiar with your defensive playbook in order to keep up. There aren’t many defensive playbooks in CFB 26, but they do have notable differences between them....

Quick Links Mejiro McQueen End of The Skies unit is a superior version of the standard one inUmamusume: Pretty Derby. This version is a result of the anime collab with the game. McQueen had an arc in which she specifically focused on increasing her power through weight training, and this is highlighted in the build. you may easily attain high levels of power with her due to the increased growth rate....

Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocketis still relatively new compared to the mainline Pokemon TCG, which is why each new set makes a big impact. The previous expansion, Celestial Guardians, focused on Alolan forms and Trial Captains. In contrast, Extradimensional Crisis centers around the powerful and mysterious Ultra Beasts. These otherworldly creatures bring not only striking artwork but also a host of powerful cards that open up new strategic possibilities. If you’re curious about all the cards included in the Extradimensional Crisis set and want a closer look at each of them, this guide was made just for you....

Quick Links Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalontakes inspiration from Oblivion, and just a few hours in, you can see the similarities between the two, and both are great. Tainted Grail lets you explore its worlds, meet characters, visit towns and different regions, defeat enemies, and complete quests, but doing all of this can be tiring, and everyone needs a rest. While you do have the ability to put a bonfire whenever and wherever you need it, nothing beats a bed....
