What is the best MW3 Renetti loadout? The Renetti is a semi-automatic pistol - reasonably unremarkable, if slightly above average when compared to the other sidearms. In Modern Warfare 3 however, we can take this secondary weapon and convert it into a gun that can dominate all on its own. With the Modern Warfare 3 release date approaching fast, you don’t have long to nail down your starting weapon from the best MW3 guns. While the Renetti may not find a place as your primary weapon, it pairs won...

Is this a Moth Mimic or regular orb in Lords of the Fallen? The Lords of the Fallen Moth Mimics, also known as Anglers, are some of the most notorious enemies in the game. Picture this scenario: you’re walking down a path that’s filled with hostile creatures, and you see a glowing loot orb that you can pick up. You rush past other monsters, only to realize that the loot is actually a Moth Mimic, which then eats your character alive. To avoid these headaches, our Lords of the Fallen Moth Mimic gu...

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event included many discounts on Nintendo Switch games and accessories, but one thing we didn't see on sale was the console itself. Now, though, Amazon subsidiary Woot has rolled out a new deal that brings the Nintendo Switch OLED down to $315. That's $35 off Nintendo's list price. While this isn't the largest price drop we've ever seen, discounts on Switch consoles are relatively uncommon, so any opportunity to save is usually a good one. Woot says the offer applies...

Take back Mournstead from Adyr's demonic influence.

Over 80,000 units sold. Famitsu has revealed this week's physical charts for Japan (thanks, Gematsu) and, unsurprisingly, Detective Pikachu Returns has come out on top with an impressive 85,639 units shifted in its first week on sale. Elsewhere, we've got a handful of other new arrivals, with The Game of Life for Nintendo Switch coming in at number 2 after selling 30,267 copies. Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage has also made a significant splash, with both the PS5 and PS4 versions entering the ...

The Access launches Dec. 6 for $89.99.

Indie dev Die Gute Fabrik has shared an independent climate report into the creation of its newest game, narrative adventure Saltsea Chronicles.

Ahead of Trolls Band Together’s release, a new video game arrives.

The GTA Online weekly update for October 12-19, 2023, is here and the Halloween events are continuing apace in Grand Theft Auto 5’s online mode. With a Witch mask, Vampire mask, and Werewolf mask available as free gifts and several new horror-themed events going live to celebrate the spooky season, there’s plenty of reasons to jump into GTA Online this week - including a Ghostbuster-inspired car and a familiar GTA protagonist somehow returning from beyond the grave.

Smoliv headlines this autumnal event.

With all planned major and minor features implemented, Godot 4.2 is ready for beta testing!

Layers upon layers of Poe adaptation.

Next you'll tell me 'gullible' is inscribed in runes on the ceiling.

How do you use the Lords of the Fallen Umbral lamp? The Dark Crusader’s journey to save Mournstead from demonic forces takes them through the parallel worlds of Axiom and Umbral. The link between the realm of the living and the dead is the Umbral lamp, a highly coveted artifact of unknown origin. It has many different uses in both combat and exploration, and we’re here to go through them all, so you can unlock its secrets and survive the dark forces that move against you. The Umbral lamp is avai...

Where are the Lords of the Fallen beacons? Your main task in Lords of the Fallen is to find the five different beacons and thwart the plans of the evil Adyr, a demon god who once again plagues the land with his corruption. However, upon being told this, you're given a somewhat unhelpful map, and as the game progresses, these maps get vaguer and vaguer. The simple fact is that while Lords of the Fallen is meant to be a hard game to play, it's an even harder RPG game to navigate your way around. I...

Valve announced recently some new changes for developers publishing public builds to their games on Steam, requiring a phone number and a text message confirmation code.

What are the Lords of the Fallen bosses? Any soulslike worth its salt must have a collection of powerful foes to defeat, and Lords of the Fallen has bosses in spades. While the vast majority of them can be bested with parrying and patience, we all know that’s easier said than done. If timings aren’t your strong suit, we've included the best strategies to reliably deal damage to bosses without putting yourself at too much risk. Most Lords of the Fallen bosses present a far easier challenge when e...

Valve is introducing SMS verification for developers as part of its new security measures on Steamworks. This follows earlier incidents of hackers taking over several developers' accounts on the platform, where they added malware to various game builds. These attacks, which were verified by PC Gamer, only affected less than 100 Steam users, although NanoWar: Cells VS Virus (pictured above) developer Benoît Freslon recently revealed the hackers had taken control of his browser access tokens. This...

What do you do with the Lords of the Fallen rune tablets? These special items are required by Gerlinde, the blacksmith NPC, whom you’ll meet on your travels. There are three of these LotF rune tablets in total, and they offer unique rewards. Our Lords of the Fallen blacksmith rune tablets guide discusses where you can find these items, as well as an important decision that you need to make: should you give the rune tablet to Gerlinde or Sparky? You can find out whether this is a decision to be m...

Sony has released a new dev diary providing insight into the development of its Access controller, and Logitech has a new accessory on the horizon too.

I was mixed on Dambusters' Dead Island 2 - I thought the combat had flair but not much depth, loved the game's decadently disastrous Los Angeles, but hated how exploration boiled down to nosing around for crafting materials. The game's first story DLC expansion, Haus, amps up the weirdness of the environments by transporting you to a "surreal, psycho-horror dreamscape" in blissful Malibu. There are flashes of Glass Onion and The Menu here, but I was reminded just as much of the eerier parts of B...

What are the best Lords of the Fallen classes? As soon as you begin this Soulslike adventure, you're presented with a rather familiar choice. As you begin to build your avatar, one of the key choices you need to make is your starting class. Do you go with the best of the best, or do you seek a real challenge? With some of the starting stats for characters in Lords of the Fallen, you may be close to wielding some of the best Lords of the Fallen weapons or casting some of the most powerful magic s...

Lords of the Fallen is a soulslike stuck between two worlds. While you explore the grimdark land of Mournstead and its Umbral counterpart in Hexworks' debut release, you'll find innovative ideas bogged down by a prescriptive adherence to Dark Souls' now-iconic design. There's a solid soulslike adventure here, but I wish Lords of the Fallen could have stepped fully out of FromSoftware's shadow.

I’ll never forget the moment I opened the Corsair M75 Air and searched for a good ten minutes trying to find how to open it and put in the battery. Lo and behold, it turns out that the M75 Air is actually just one of the lightest gaming mice I’ve ever used. Better still, there are virtually zero compromises that I can find to have enabled this ultra-light frame. Corsair is taking a bit of a risk with the M75 Air name, not only because air is an overused buzzword often attached to the likes of la...

The Access controller for PS5 will be released on December 6 and will enable gamers with disabilities to play more comfortably and for longer periods. The development of the highly customizable kit is a fascinating one, incorporating guidance and insight from experts across multiple disciplines. To coincide with today’s reveal of the controller’s accessible packaging...

Step behind the scenes as our hardware and UI designers, alongside user research leads, discuss their collaboration with accessibility organizations on...

Slated. It's that time of year when video game anniversary enthusiasts can enjoy the birthday of a significant game or console nearly every day of the week. It's the turn of Pokémon X & Y which turns 10 today (look out for a feature on that coming up a little later), but it's also a decade since one of Nintendo's lowest-key console launches.

Mourn my dread.

She's a fierce warrior, but she's crying tears of blood. After a tense battle of graceful sweeping sword arcs - and me frantically dodging - she sprouts a set of scarlet wings, flies upwards, and proceeds to rain down hell. This is Pieta, the first proper boss in Lords of the Fallen after the tutorial. Or, as I like to call her, Budget Malenia. It's abundantly clear where developer Hexworks has taken inspiration, leaning into the most popular aspects of FromSoftware's Souls games - here Elden Ri...

I recently got to test out PlayStation Access at a hands-on event in London, Sony's new customisable accessibility controller. I was one of a handful of people attending, some with disabilities and some without. With the device before us all, we prodded and poked, we customised, we compared our setups. And we were able to play a number of games ranging in complexity. Sony recognises that disabilities are different for everyone and the Access isn't a universal solution. What works for one player ...

A tale of two games.

Valve released some more Steam Deck Beta Client updates recently, one of them including an interesting new Gyro mode so here's all the details on what's new.
