A major hurdle in ARC Raiders currently is the six-legged boss, the Queen. However, the developers at Embark Studios recognize they can’t simply add more robots designed like her. They need to find ways to make the game increasingly challenging for players. If they don’t, players will quickly become skilled at defeating Queens and other similar bosses, ultimately eliminating the feeling of threat these enemies are meant to create.

No matter what I was thinking about – the past or the present – one thought always surfaced: “He’s definitely gone.” But living in a city overrun by zombies tends to lead to those kinds of conclusions.

Having played a lot of games over the years – like Genshin Impact, PGR, Wuthering Waves, Honkai: Star Rail, Reverse: 1999, and ZZZ (let’s not mention Tower of Fantasy) – I always enjoy the start of something new. It’s exciting to discover a fresh world, meet compelling characters, and learn a new combat system, even if it gets frustrating later on. And a great soundtrack is a huge plus! If a game looks promising, I’m willing to give it a try – I might end up playing for hours, or maybe just a little while. A free-to-play option with no pressure to commit is the perfect way to get started.

This feels like the classic Resident Evil experience we’ve been hoping for, and there’s an extra something that really grabs our attention. But we’ve been disappointed by the series before. A truly great game is one where everything works together seamlessly. Still, this is Resident Evil, and the developers’ long history with survival horror suggests Requiem has a good chance of being excellent.

So, that SaGa Frontier Remastered game that’s free with PlayStation Plus? It might not be around forever, and honestly, keeping track of which games are leaving is a pain. It’s the remastered version of the classic RPG from ’97, and it’s published by Square Enix. The thing with Square Enix games on PS Plus is, unlike some other publishers, they don’t really have a set time they stay available. Usually, it’s around a year, but you can never be totally sure!

As a long-time comic fan, I’ve always found Donna Troy’s story fascinating – and incredibly strange. It turns out her whole existence is basically a fix for a continuity error! Originally, Wonder Girl wasn’t her own person, but a version of Superboy connected to Wonder Woman. When the Teen Titans were first being put together, someone just added Wonder Girl to the team without really thinking through her backstory. So, Donna’s whole character was created after the fact to make things work. Since then, she’s been through so many different origin stories, with writer after writer trying to define who she really is. Thinking back to around the time of Infinite Crisis – about twenty years ago now – it struck me how many parallels there were between Donna and Jean Grey. They’ve got a lot more in common than you might think!

Since it first aired, this anime has consistently received top ratings from fans on popular platforms like AniList and MyAnimeList, even surpassing highly-regarded series like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. The second season has taken things to the next level, quickly becoming the highest-rated anime of all time on MyAnimeList. Although it’s too early to make a final judgment based on just one episode, the season’s strong start captures the essence of what makes the series so beloved and confirms its place among the greatest fantasy adventure anime ever created.

Back in the early 1980s, many unofficial video games based on Bible stories popped up, and they were often quite strange. It wasn’t the religious content that made them odd, but rather their inability to be genuinely fun or engaging. A particularly interesting example is Red Sea Crossing, released in 1983 through mail order. The game was largely forgotten until 2007, when a rare copy – one of only four known to exist – was discovered at a garage sale. It’s actually the first commercial console game based on a Bible story, and it wasn’t made by Atari. Players control Moses as he leads his people through the Red Sea, dodging obstacles while being chased by the Egyptians.

Tom Warren from The Verge has confirmed that a recent notification isn’t related to Xbox Game Pass. Instead, Microsoft is planning a free version of Xbox Cloud Gaming that will be supported by advertisements. Right now, you need a Game Pass subscription to use Xbox Cloud Gaming, so this new option appears to be a way for Microsoft to earn more money from its Xbox business.
