That said, I do worry equally about games like GTA, in which bad actions rarely ever have negative consequences, and good ones rarely have positive consequences – and the cases in which they do are mainly in cinematic parts where the player is not making a choice. – Hegar In response to “Is Rape Wrong on Azeroth?” from The Escapist Forum: The idea of a designer being able to create a morality is interesting, and one that I haven’t found to have been explored very well yet.
Last year’s Assassin’s Creed II was good – really, really good – but that hasn’t stopped Ubisoft from trying to make it better by releasing content that didn’t make it into the final game (for whatever reason) as DLC. Last month, Ezio’s adventures continued with The Battle of Forli, and now, Ubisoft has announced that DLC #2 – Bonfire of the Vanities – will be out this week. Bonfire of the Vanities (which is based on historical events, as is par for the series) will be hitting PSN and Xbox Live this Thursday the 18th, according to the official Ubisoft Twitter feed, and Ubisoft’s Christophe Grandjean posted some new screenshots from the upcoming update.
Earlier this week, we learned that Bonfire of the Vanities would be hitting XBL and PSN Thursday. Well, since it’s Thursday, guess what’s out? Ezio must work with Machiavelli to free Florence from the grip of the “mad monk” Savonarola, and to do so players will have to take advantage of his new move, the spring jump. No, seriously, the spring jump – I guess Ezio is going all Sonic the Hedgehog on us.
Assassin’s Creed III takes place during the American Revolution, a time when Colonial America revolted against its British overlords and declared independence. One of the key events in the revolution was the Boston Tea Party, which you probably learned about if you were paying attention in history class. If not, this trailer provides a quick overview of “the revolution you were told about.” Of course, in Assassin’s Creed III, there’s another revolution that’s not in the history books: “the one that matters,” according to the video.
WARNING: This article is a work-in-progress and will be regularly updated with new information on the various levels in Astro Bot, so make sure to check back later. And as always, if we’re missing something important, make sure to yell at us in the comments. We love when you do that. It makes our day.
Gorilla Nebula The first galaxy in Astro Bot, the Gorilla Nebula has nine different levels to traverse, including Sky Garden, Creamy Canyon, Az-Tech Trail, Construction Derby, Mighty Chewy, Apes on the Loose, Crumble Rumble 1, Retro Rampage 1, and Rolling Star Sola.
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate hasn’t been getting the spotlight quite as much as it big console brother. That said, its concept, Batman dropped into a Metroidvania platformer taking place in Blackgate prison, is one we suspect a lot of gamers can get behind. Now, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, has released a trailer showing off both the setup for the game’s story as well as some segments demonstrating the game in action.
The demo I played takes place on Christmas Eve, when Black Mask has sent 8 assassins after Batman, promising a $50 million payoff to whoever takes him out. Gameplay-wise, this meant I had to beat a lot of people up. The trick to defeating Martial Artists, a new enemy type, was countering their counters. Combat with them is more fluid than with the typical thug, so timing and flow are far more important than just mashing away on buttons.
Best Dribble Moves in NBA 2K24 for Different Builds Best Dribble Styles When it comes to dribble styles in NBA 2K24, having quick and low dribbles is essential to minimize the risk of turnovers and keep defenders guessing. Everyone knows how Kyrie Irving dribbles; it is so fast and unpredictable that defenders are kept off balance. What Kyrie brings is an ability to get into the lane with a variety of quick, shifty moves perfect for guys around 6’5″.
How Eson Works in Marvel Snap Eson is a 6-cost, 10-power card with an ability that reads: “End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here.” A created card is one that is generated from something like White Queen or Arishem – in short, a card that didn’t start in your deck. This means that you can target Eson’s ability a little bit as it won’t pull cards that didn’t start in your deck to the board.
JAK Decimator Attachments in MW3 As is always the case with weapons in modern Call of Duty, this weapon is made by its attachments. With these attachments, this gun is an excellent option for players who like to play aggressively while staying off the radar.
114MM Dark Star This shorter-length barrel features an integral suppressor, which offers boosts to mobility. With this attachment, the Lachmann Shroud will remind players of the silenced MP5Ks from past Call of Duty games.
How King Eitri Works in Marvel Snap King Eitri is a 1 cost 2 power card with an ability that reads: Activate: Draw a card from your deck that didn’t start there. This effect is just about as straightforward as it gets. If you have Thor’s Mjolnir or Beta Ray Bill’s Stormbreaker in your deck, activating King Eitri will pull one out for you. If you’re running Thanos, King Eitri will draw you a stone.
How Luna Snow Works in Marvel Snap Luna Snow is a 3-cost, 5-power card with an ability that reads: “On Reveal: Add an Ice Cube to each side of this location.” The Ice Cube added to either side of the location is a 1-cost, 0-power card with an ability that reads: “At the start of each turn, get +1 Energy. Then destroy this if your side is full here.” Much like a persistent plus 1, energy from turn 3 onward has the potential to grant great benefits; however, for the first time in Marvel Snap, your opponent also gets the benefit unless you find a way to fill up their location to negate it.
All Nihilego Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness in Pokemon Go The key to beating any 5-Star Raid is to lean into type strengths and weaknesses to give your team an edge against the boss. Nihilego is a dual-type Rock and Poison-type Ultra Beast Pokemon. So, when planning for your Nihilego raid in Pokemon GO, your best counters are to train up Ground-type Pokemon, alongside Psychic, Water, and Steel-type creatures. Because Nihilego is 2X weak to Ground, these moves will be your biggest powerhouse, but a mix of other strong types doesn’t hurt.
How Rocket Raccoon and Groot Work in Marvel Snap Rocket Raccoon and Groot is a 3 power 3 cost card with an ability that reads: You can move this once. After your opponent plays a card here, steal 1 Power from it. While it does a bit more than your average card, the effect is rather easy to understand. Much like Jeff or Nightcrawler, you can move Rocket Raccoon and Groot a single time.
How Does Scream Work in Marvel Snap? Scream is a 2-cost, 2-power card with an ability that reads: “When an enemy card moves, steal 2 Power from it. (once per turn).” Scream steals the power so the card that moves effectively gets -2 power, making her worth +4 power per move. This effect isn’t an Ongoing effect, meaning it cannot be countered in any conventional way. Furthermore, the card doesn’t have to move into Scream’s lane – just if it moves at any point.
Blue Eye Samurai Blue Eye Samurai (2023) is a historical action-filled adventure. It follows Mizu, a half-white half-Japanese orphan living in Edo period Japan. After a traumatic childhood, she vows to get revenge on the man who caused her suffering- her father. Throughout the first season we watch Mizu’s journey to uncover the location of Abijah Fowler, a British man illegally hiding in Japan. Blue Eye Samurai has a lot of the action and innovative storytelling fans of Arcane enjoyed.
Best Team To Use in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Ranked Mode While single battles are fun, the DP battles are where the sweaty players are at. The mode involves using 15 points to put together a team. You can have up to five characters, but it’s not always quantity over quality in Sparking Zero. So, here’s the best team to use in Ranked Mode:
Base Goku (GT) The easiest way to get an advantage over your opponent is to have a character that can transform.
Best WSP-9 Loadout in Warzone It might be slightly jarring to use the WSP-9 at first, as it has a slow fire rate and some janky iron sights. With the right loadout, though, the SMG is surprisingly strong and can eliminate opponents extremely quickly.
Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider Barrel: HISS Short Light Barrel Optic: JAK Glassless Optic Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop Magazine: 50 Round Mag
This loadout is primarily centered around improving the WSP-9’s mobility and accuracy, as you’ll mostly want to use the SMG at close or mid-range.
Hot on the heels of the news that Obsidian’s patch for Fallout: New Vegas has made the game unplayable for just about everyone, Bethesda has officially stated that it’s working on fixing things.

According to a post on the bethesda blog, the game’s developers have found what’s causing the problem and will be putting out a new patch soon: Fallout: New Vegas has earned a reputation for being enjoyable, but broken.
