Summary Alan Wake 2got its first DLC expansion earlier this year, bringing us three new stories and letting players take on the roles of Rose, Sheriff Breaker, and Jessie Faden from Control. It was a neat little detour, andone that allowed Remedy to experiment with all kinds of themes and genres, but the game’s second planned DLC promises to be a lot spookier and grounded. We knew before today that The Lake House would be launching at some point this October, though news about the expansion’s plot has been pretty thin on the ground....

The Plucky Squireis a pretty linear game, literally paced and structured as a storybook. You’ll need to go through each page in a specific order to proceed, and you’re rarely given the opportunity to stray far from the beaten path. However, one way that you can switch up and customize Jot is by using badges. The mysterious shopkeeper will manage to make their way to various locations throughout the game, selling art scrolls, but more importantly, badges....

Quick Links Fans of DMRs might want to give the Goblin MK2 a try. It’s one of a select few semi-auto rifles inBlack Ops 6, featuring high damage per shot, minimal recoil, and solid handling. If you have a rapid trigger finger and solid aim, the Goblin MK2 can perform surprisingly well in Multiplayer and even Zombies. But getting the most of the Goblin will require the right attachments, more so than usual....

Summary You will likely have a fantastic time working through the intricately crafted campaign ofAstro Bot, but by the time you finally reach the game’s credits, this is by no means a suggestion to stop playing. There is a surprising amount of depth to all of the post-game options available upon completing Astro Bot. Getting everything the game has to offer can easily take just as long it did to reach credits, and you can choose to get as much or as little help to speed up or slow down this process....

Have you noticed thatJack Black’s usual anticshave gone from endearing to unbelievably annoying ever since he put Tenacious D on hold? He abruptly ended a tour because of his friend and bandmate Kyle Gass’ (frankly quite tame) joke aboutthe attempt on Donald Trump’s life— there was no backlash, just a man throwing his longtime friend under the bus out offearof backlash. Seeing him as the infamously irritating Claptrap in theBorderlandsmovie and as Steve inthe awful Minecraft movie trailerhasn’t helped, but in spite of it all, damn it, I still want Brutal Legend 2....

Summary A lot of stuff from the eerie world ofDark Soulshas been turned into high-end, usually quite expensive merch officially tied to the series, but I’d hazard to guess you’ve never seen anything quite like this.

Not just any collectible, buta 25-inch statue that’ll cost anyone who wants to own it $660....

Summary A listing forDragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s Ultimate Edition DLC onSteamhas confirmed the release windows for the three expansion packs, which will be arriving from Q1 2025 onwards. Considering how unbelievably massive Sparking Zero’s roster of 182 characters is, it feels a little greedy to be wanting anything more from it. After all,we’ve got pretty much every character from Z, Super, and GT(sorry,Super 17 fans) that we could have ever hoped for, so who could possibly be left to add?...

Summary Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerois finally here, and the game’s massive rosterboasts characters from nearly every era of Akira Toriyama’s iconic series. That giant roster size includesmore forms of Goku than we have fingers to count on. However, for as many forms of Goku that the game has, including the long-awaited debut of Ultra Instinct Goku, there is one form that is missing.
