You end up loving the game and he likes what you’re about, so he grants you exclusive rights to introduce Dungeons & Dragons to the UK, and to Europe, and to sell it there for three years. You can only afford six copies but it doesn’t matter: you’ll soon be able to afford a lot more. That’s not even the best story my guests have! They’ve done so much and created so much....
Along with this announcement, we also have a nice shiny new trailer from Devolver Digital to mark the occasion. This trailer, which you can see below, shows off some of the extreme temple runs that you as the player will have to navigate. This “massive asynchronous multiplayer” will throw players into those temples seen above and task them with retrieving ancient relics from within. There will be hidden traps to account for, and, as with all good temple exploration, there will of course be guardians that will do everything in their power to stop players from reaching their goal....

During this Prime Day season, you can save big on a large 512GB micro SDXC card from SanDisk, available for just £33. This is a big saving over the usual price for such a large capacity memory card. Micro SD cards work across many devices. Nintendo Switch consoles don’t come with much internal storage, either 32GB or 64GB, so you’ll certainly need a memory card to keep your games with you on the go....
The Switch Pro controller sits much easier in the hands than the Joy-Con pair, even when they’re placed in a charging grip, as the Pro Controller is a clear 2cm wider both at the top and the handles. Paired with the face of the controller being clear of the docking run for the Joy-Con pair to lock into, the Pro has a considerable amount more room for the buttons to breathe – you won’t be fighting with the analogue stick to get to the minus button here....
Of course, 4K is being pushed as the new visual standard, and many games for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X have ‘visual quality’ modes which push 4K resolution to displays. And because it’s an IPS panel, you’ll experience wide viewing angles without having to sit straight in front of the monitor. And with a 60Hz refresh rate, you can opt for those ‘performance’ modes offered by the latest games where speed and high frame rates are prioritised instead....
As spotted by GamesRadar+, the newly released mod - simply called “Remove Sheeran” - does exactly what it says on the tin, deleting Sheeran’s tracks from the credits and replacing it with a track from the late notable Japanese singer, Wada Koji. “Removes Ed Sheeran from the game and replaces him with Wada Koji (may he rest in peace),” explains the mod’s creator, before adding that as they only own Violet, the mod has yet to be tested on Scarlet....

The first Ubisoft game to offer NFTs will be Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, where Quartz will be integrated in beta form on PC. These NFTs - named “Digits” - will be in-game cosmetic items with a unique code visibly stamped on. This serial-coded cosmetic can then be kept or sold, with its previous ownership history logged. Ubisoft says Quartz will be “energy efficient” because it uses Tezos, a blockchain which claims to use “exceedingly less energy to operate than Proof-of-Work blockchains such as Bitcoin or Ethereum”....

This micro SD card option should give you more than enough space for your games and plenty of room to grow your Switch collection in the future. It also has up to 120MB/s transfer speeds, meaning better gameplay experience and A1-rated performance for apps. When you consider a digital version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will eat into almost half of the console’s 32GB of internal storage, it’s a no brainer to upgrade your Switch storage with a micro SD card- especially if you plan on playing other big titles like any of the Pokemon games or Animal Crossing: New Horizons in their digital formats....
“Sure, sure,” I said in reply. “But those small huts over there look kinda cute.” If you hadn’t yet guessed, I’ve spent most of my time in Valheim simply building and renovating small cabins. The survival game is split into several biomes, each with its own unique enemies and materials, but it took me at least 15 hours to leave the first - and I’ve once again found myself constructing tiny homes in the second....

While the name might not be familiar, Cloak and Dagger Games has been steadily making a name for itself in the point-and-click genre over the last half-decade with a series of idiosyncratic short-form adventures, primarily within the realm of horror. A few of them, including deliciously creepy early title A Date in the Park, with its expert ratcheting of unease, can be played for free. The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow is Cloak and Dagger’s first new title since 2019’s Lovecraft-inspired freebie The Terrible Old Man, and follows the Victorian-era adventure of antiquarian and author Thomasina Bateman as she arrives in the remote village of Bewlay after receiving a mysterious summons concerning its ancient barrows....
