Apex Legends' Gundam event is far more fun than it has any right to be. While I would have preferred some new Titanfall lore if we're getting mechs, the wrecked Gundam suits strewn across the game's Broken Moon map are suitably epic, and the Buster Rifle is a fun weapon for casual modes. Just two weeks ago, popular streamer Mikkel 'Mande' Hestbek managed to achieve two million damage during a single match with the weapon in a private lobby filled with his subscribers. I'm not saying this may have led to the game's new Vortex Shields, but the event's similar Bit Staves may have planted an idea in the developers' heads.

I thought I'd have gotten bored of Riftbound by now. I certainly go through obsessive cycles: one day I'm desperate to play Magic: The Gathering or Star Wars Unlimited, but by the next I've lost all interest. Perhaps it's my love for League of Legends that's kept me coming back to Riot's IRL card game; I do have an undying passion for the classic MOBA. Or, maybe it's just that Riftbound really is GOATed; every time I play it I feel like I uncover a new mechanic, or a sneaky, dopamine-inducing combo. While Spiritforged was very much up my alleyway thematically, Unleashed promises heavy-scaling, Plainswalker-esque leveling that I'm excited to take for a spin. Prepared Neophtyte is set to be one of these tanky heavy hitters, and that's the card we're showing off today.

How do you beat Tenebrum? Crimson Desert isn't shy of throwing a few super-difficult boss fights at you. These difficulty spikes can be frustrating, especially if you want to get back to the easy life of fishing and going on a bit of a ramble. Tenebrum is the perfect example of this; it isn't necessarily the difficulty that surprised us, but how obscure the solution to the fight was. Some bosses in Crimson Desert, like the Reed Devil, for instance, are hard because of how ferocious they are; hammering you with flurries of attacks, giving you little time to react, and generally being a menace. Tenebrum is just a weird cloud of... something. And like most weird clouds of something, it takes something unorthodox to beat it.

Fancy a little trip where you get to beat up slimes or boss enemies, and prove your strength in battle? You need to take these Summon Heroes codes with you. They give you plenty of free items in the game, which means you progress faster and get that mythical pull from the hero pool, perhaps. Each of these codes is well worth your time, and we recommend keeping this page handy so you can continue to get all the new gifts as they roll out.

What do you need to complete an Arc Raiders expedition? Taking your game to the next level is a very involved process, but it gives dedicated players a goal, with ample rewards - and a few drawbacks - available for all those who complete it. After you've mastered the basics in Arc Raiders, you may be wondering what's next. Expeditions are the best way of putting your expertise and your time to good use if you plan on raiding for the foreseeable future. It isn't for everyone, but we think completing Arc Raiders Expeditions is the mark of a truly dedicated player, and we have all the resources you'll need to complete them, right here.

Fallout New Vegas is comfortably my favorite Fallout game. Aside from the iconic setting, Obsidian perfected the first-person formula and Bethesda has never risen to the gauntlet it so valiantly put down. From Caesar's Legion to the difficult roleplaying decisions it forces you to make, New Vegas might not only be my favorite Fallout game, but one of my favorite RPGs full stop. If Fallout Chicago, a new mod that adds a "DLC-sized expansion" to the game, can echo any of that roleplaying goodness, we're in for a great time.

Dragon's Dogma 2 had no respect for its players. I say that in the most complimentary way possible. Thanks to the lack of fast travel, you could get picked up by a Griffin and transported to its nest on the other side of the continent, forcing you to fight your way home through hordes of overleveled creatures. It had its downsides, too, but I respected what Capcom tried to do and, like many fans, was gutted when the developer didn't announce any DLC. However, our fortunes may be about to change.

If you're in the market for an all-around powerful gaming CPU but don't want to stretch your budget too far, the new Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is a surprisingly compelling option. It's essentially just a clock speed-tweaked version of the entirely lackluster Core Ultra 265K, but what a difference those tweaks have made. Not only is this, on average, Intel's fastest gaming CPU ever, but it competes reasonably well with the best from AMD, and does so while delivering masses of multi-core performance. AMD's latest X3D chips still reign supreme on our best gaming CPU guide, when it comes to raw gaming performance, but the Ultra 7 270K Plus gets within touching distance and obliterates those chips when it comes to multi-core workloads. It's also reasonably power-frugal, considering its performance, and competitively priced, making it undoubtedly the new price/performance winner. [site_jumplinks]

We've all seen the yaasified, DLSS 5 Leon Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft. In fact, I think I see them every night, stalking the darkened corridors of my nightmares like one of the horror game's monsters. It's not the prettiest sight in the world, and one that Capcom has come under fire for. Nvidia's new AI-driven technology has quickly become a laughing stock, and while its CEO is a staunch defender of AI usage, Capcom's kept relatively quiet on gen AI - it's interested in "experimenting" with it for ideation, but that's all we've heard so far. As part of a new investor Q+A however, the Resident Evil developer has confirmed that it's not using generative AI for asset creation, but it will consider using it to "improve efficiency."
