Summary Fashion and dress-up games are often underestimated, but there are a few that are cut above the rest. They feature a large catalogue of designs which can cause you to lose hours while trying them all. Some developers tried to take the genre to new horizons and succeeded while doing it.

Summary Humor andhorror, while seeming to completely contrast each other, actually have core things in common. In both, the setup is important, and the payoff works best if you can surprise your audience. If you’re successful, you get a laugh in the former and a scream in the latter, or at least a feeling of unease. It’s unsurprising, then, that humor has a place in horror media, especially in video games....

The 2024 edition of theDungeons & DragonsPlayer’s Handbook added a lot of changes to spells, some of them being nearly unrecognizable from what they used to do. Yet it also added quite a few new spells, from useful cantrips to endgame storms of damage. Not everyone will have a use for all these spells, but they could change how we approach roleplaying in the future. Keeping these spells in mind can have you deal with both combat and social scenarios in a completely different way, be it due to better crowd control or because you can summon a cauldron filled with healing potions....

Summary Vyse is one of the coolest agents to be added toValorant, whether it be in terms of her unique design or her interesting abilities. Although she is classed as a Sentinel type Agent, her abilities allow her to be much more aggressive and also work similarly to an Initiator as well. As she is so unique, you can’t just play Vyse like you would play other passive sentinel agents such as Cypher and Killjoy, and you need to be much more clever with your ability usage....

Every hero inDeadlockcomes with an Ultimate, which is typically their strongest ability, and can be strong enough to change the course of a game. Due to the different roles in this game, some Ultimates are meant to provide support, while others are more direct and are used to cause as much damage as possible.

Yet damage is not all they do, since some can offer support, while others create simple magic tricks to dazzle the local village. In the 2024 Player’s Handbook, several cantrips have been updated in some way, with most getting upgrades at certain levels. A few cantrips, however, have their changes turn them into essentially different spells, so even if a spell’s name seems familiar to you, be sure to read what it does; you might be surprised....

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’scampaign moves a little slower than the other games in the series. It’s still a globe trotting spy caper, but it gives you more time to breath and soak in the story. If you are focused in on going from mission to mission, you probably missed a lot of the details discussed below. That’s quite alright, though. If you missed anything below, Black Ops 6 still has plenty to satisfy FPS fans....

If your campaign is going to take place solely within the walls of a kingdom, then that lonely planet might suffice, but you should know there is an entire multiverse for both you and your players to explore out there.
