Every Ganondorf Design In The Legend Of Zelda, Ranked Worst To Best

Ben Brosofsky — Sun, 06 Aug 2023 20:00:22 GMT

The Legend of Zelda villain Ganondorf has taken on several unique designs across the games he's appeared in, and not all of these looks are created equal. As a series that features few direct sequels, The Legend of Zelda frequently puts a fresh coat of paint on its characters. Central figures like Link and Princess Zelda have evolved from 8-bit sprites to sophisticated polygonal models, changing costumes and features many times along the way. Despite his towering status in the series lore, Ganondorf hasn't received as many iterations, but the ones he has taken on are all memorable in their own ways.

10 Video Game Endings That Completely Ruined The Story

Garrett Ettinger — Sun, 06 Aug 2023 17:01:20 GMT

Nothing can quite disrupt an otherwise amazing gaming experience more than a bad ending – a pitfall that even otherwise celebrated games like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Mass Effect 3 can fall into. Many games often take hours to complete, and the more a player feels invested in the story, the greater the letdown is when they finally get to the end, only to be exposed to a conclusion that ruins the entire narrative. While a terrible ending can never take away from the fun memories people have while playing, it can leave a bad taste in the mouth of even the biggest franchise fan.

10 Incredible D&D 5e Magic Weapons You Didn’t Know Existed

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Sun, 06 Aug 2023 15:00:21 GMT

Dungeons & Dragons has loads of fantastic magical weapons to suit any character, but some are a little more obscure than others. While some DnD weapons are famous in their own right, like Drizzt Do'Urden's scimitar, Icingdeath, or the well-known Vorpal Sword, others aren’t as well known. Some brilliant magical weapons belong to famous DnD characters and may pass players by if met in a campaign.

10 Best Survivor Perks in Dead By Daylight

Karissa Annis — Sun, 06 Aug 2023 14:00:54 GMT

Survivors in Dead By Daylight have a plethora of Perks to choose from, each with its own pros and cons. This can be overwhelming to new players, and not knowing which Perks to upgrade and unlock might mean a lot of wasted points. The list of best Perks can also change over time, as they can be buffed or nerfed, and new Perks are often added with new Survivors.

Which Animal Crossing Villager Are You Based On Your Zodiac Sign?

Deven McClure — Sun, 06 Aug 2023 13:00:20 GMT

Out of all the villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there are twelve that best match up to each of the zodiac signs. There are over 400 different animals that can take up residence on a player's island, which is the largest pool of characters to date since the franchise began. These villagers span over a dozen different species and all possess unique appearances and varied personalities, and it's easy to see the similarities between certain residents and the different astrological signs.

10 Improvements Red Dead Redemption Remaster Must Include

Garrett Ettinger — Sun, 06 Aug 2023 11:01:18 GMT

Red Dead Redemption and its sequel are considered two of the best games ever made, and fans were overjoyed to hear that the game's developer, Rockstar Games, is likely working on a remaster of RDR. A recent update to the Rockstar Games website referencing Red Dead Redemption is an even stronger indication that fans will soon be able to play as John Marston in a remastered version of the game. While players may have to wait a pretty long time for an RDR 3, the idea that a remaster of the original is releasing is exciting enough to soften the blow.

10 Best Super Mario Bros. Power-Ups Of All Time, Ranked

Ben Brosofsky — Sat, 05 Aug 2023 17:00:17 GMT

The Super Mario Bros. games have featured a wide variety of power-ups over the years, but some of these enhancements have proven to be more powerful or iconic than others. Starting with the very first Super Mushroom that players pick up in World 1-1 of the original NES game, the power-up lineage includes abilities inspired by animals, elements, enemies, and more. Although each one offers a unique improvement over Mario's default state, players will tend to gravitate toward certain favorites over time.

5 Easiest Baldur’s Gate 3 Classes For D&D Rookies

Ben Brosofsky — Sat, 05 Aug 2023 14:30:18 GMT

Baldur's Gate 3 offers an enormous amount of depth for Dungeons & Dragons veterans, but it also contains a number of straightforward options that can be perfect for newcomers. The new RPG from Larian Studios takes place in the DnD world of the Forgotten Realms and uses character-building aspects like races and classes from the tabletop game. As classes define the basic abilities that characters will receive and how combat encounters will play out, choosing the right one is essential.

Every Origin Character In Baldur's Gate 3, Ranked Worst To Best

Lee D'Amato — Sat, 05 Aug 2023 11:00:18 GMT

Baldur's Gate 3 provides a handful of pre-built characters that players can select from if they don't want to make their own, but some of these Origin characters are better than others. As it is based on Dungeons & Dragons, Baldur's Gate is all about player freedom. That extends, in no small part, to character customization. It includes 11 playable character races, 12 classes and 46 subclasses, and a robust system of character building that certainly doesn't end at the first level. Players can even choose their backgrounds to improve characterization, and unlock some secret dialogue options here and there.

5 New Pokémon Types Gen 10 Could Introduce To The Series

Kaitlyn Peterson — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 13:01:19 GMT

With Generation 10 on the horizon for Pokémon, there comes another opportunity for the rare occurrence of brand-new types to be added to the iconic franchise. While new Pokémon are pretty much a given, many are hoping that perhaps a new type may also be making its debut in Gen 10. With the last type addition being Fairy, several generations back, it is certainly time for something new. However, with so many types already, it's hard to imagine where the Pokémon franchise could intend to go from here.

7 Most Annoying NPCs In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

Melissa Sarnowski — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 11:00:20 GMT

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has filled its open-world map with a variety of NPCs, but that doesn't mean that players will end up liking all of them. There are memorable NPCs from past Zelda games that live in infamy for annoying players, such as Kaepora Gaebora from Ocarina of Time, who makes it too easy to hit an option that repeats a very long piece of dialogue. While a lot of annoying NPCs in Tears of the Kingdom are avoidable, players are bound to come across some of them while working to find information about Princess Zelda.

Ben Brosofsky — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 12:00:21 GMT

Carrie Lambertsen — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 19:01:20 GMT

Season 1 of Diablo 4 features the unique temporary mechanic of gathering Malignant Hearts from corrupted monsters and harnessing their power in the form of Caged Hearts, and the best way to farm Malignant Creatures to gather these Hearts is from the six Malignant Tunnels. These themed dungeons are special locations where corrupted beasts have sprung up after the events that Lilith caused in the main campaign. Malignant Tunnels serve as a part of the Seasonal questline but then become areas for players to return to farm the Malignant Creatures that are lying in wait within.

Remnant 2 Classes: 7 Best Remnant 2 Archetypes For Co-Op Multiplayer

Lee D'Amato — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 17:29:20 GMT

Picking the right Archetype is the first step to success in Remnant 2, and that can make all the difference in multiplayer. Eleven different character classes have been discovered so far, but some of them are just better balanced for single player than they are for co-op. Some are available to all players from the beginning, but other "secret" ones have to be unlocked via often lengthy, difficult in-game quests. Switching between them, though, is as easy as can be - all players have to do is pick the right Engram.

Magic items crafted by giants can be adapted to fit into any campaign either through magical resizing or through clever adaptations on the part of players.

10 Final Fantasy 16 Hunts With The Best Rewards

Lee D'Amato — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 12:00:18 GMT

Players don't just take on Hunts for the thrill of battle in Final Fantasy 16; more often than not, they're after some kind of reward. Hunts aren't always easy: they begin with the player receiving vague instructions that point them in the general direction of a troublesome monster, whom they must find by their own devices. Finding the monster is just half the battle - the other half is the actual battle, and that's no easier. Even the easiest Notorious Marks in FF16 move fast, hit hard, and are unpredictable - and some of them are harder than others.

Every Chronolith Trial In Final Fantasy 16, Ranked By Difficulty

Lee D'Amato — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 14:30:18 GMT

Chronolith Trials are among the most difficult challenges in Final Fantasy 16. These are timed combat gauntlets, each featuring multiple waves of enemies for players to burn down before the clock runs out. But there's a catch: each one also focuses on one of the eight collectible Eikons in the game, which means Clive won't have access to the full extent of his abilities. (The one exception is Ifrit, since Clive doesn't really use Ifrit's powers so much as he transforms into it.) Successful completion of a Chronolith Trial is rewarded with an accessory that increases the HP or Will damage dealt by one of the relevant Eikon's abilities.

Everything Honkai: Star Rail Does Better Than Genshin Impact

Andrew Zhou — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 12:39:16 GMT

As HoYoverse's first major release after the success of Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail has many gameplay conventions that are the same or similar to Genshin. However, being the newer game, some of the ways in which Star Rail handles characters, story, gameplay, and gacha mechanics are notably improved from its predecessor. As HoYoverse looks to another major release in Zenless Zone Zero, it's worth taking a look at the ways in which Star Rail has improved upon many of Genshin Impact's systems.

LOTR: Every Gollum Video Game Design, Ranked Worst To Best

Garrett Ettinger — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 18:30:17 GMT

The Lord of the Rings has a ton of different games, all with their own unique artist renditions of the Gollum design. While some of these are tragically bad, others stand as solid depictions of the Hobbit formerly known as Sméagol. The J.R.R. Tolkien character leaves a lot of room for interpretation when adapting him to a video game, and though meant to be a villain, the endearing nature of the ring-obsessed creature has made him a lovable personality in The Lord of the Rings fan community.

10 Harry Potter Characters That Need An HP: Magic Awakened Card ASAP

Kaitlyn Peterson — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 16:00:22 GMT

In Harry Potter: Magic Awakened there are currently several notable characters featured on cards including icons like Hermione Granger and Rubeus Hagrid. These are known as companion cards, and they can be added to the deck alongside Charm cards and echos. Companion cards allow players to summon a friendly face to aid them in battle. Each one has its own unique abilities and while there is a good selection, many iconic Harry Potter characters are left out that absolutely deserve cards and could even prove to be a very useful addition to a player's deck.

Every S-Rank Hunt In Final Fantasy 16, Ranked By Difficulty

Lee D'Amato — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 12:00:21 GMT

Final Fantasy 16's combat often leaves players breathless, and it's at its most difficult when it pits them against S-rank Marks. Hunts are among the most worthwhile side quests in FF16. They show off the depths of its combat system, giving even the most basic enemies complicated move sets and incredible speed. Hunts also almost always reward the player handsomely; besides Gil and Renown points, there are usually a couple of rare materials in the mix, which can be used to craft some of FF16's best equipment. One or two of the most difficult Hunts also grant the player one-of-a-kind accessories.

Lee D'Amato — Fri, 28 Jul 2023 17:07:19 GMT

Remnant 2 is primarily a co-op multiplayer game, but it's possible to play solo with the right class. Players can choose their Archetypes from one of a handful of starting classes, but more become available as they progress. Changing Archetypes, once the player has unlocked them, is as easy as equipping the relevant Engram. The shooter is inspired by the Soulslike formula, but it puts greater emphasis on teamwork and collaboration with up to three players. That's supported by the varied class system.

Matthew Wilcox — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 21:00:21 GMT

A sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom could easily take Link beyond Hyrule, and there are plenty of notable locations that the hero could travel to.

Eric Huels — Sat, 22 Jul 2023 20:00:20 GMT

The series has been around for just over fifteen years now, with more than 20 mainline releases and spin-offs. Even more titles are on the way, like Assassin’s Creed: Mirage and Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red.

Many dedicated players have been playing the game since its initial launch back in the 90s and have held onto the cards that they deemed valuable, but there are plenty of cards that flew under the radar that players will have wished they kept.While plenty of new cards can still have immense value, they're incomparable to those produced by Wizards of the Coast, a company name many will recognize in relation to Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons. These old cards, alongside the original Media Factory cards, hold a value that hardly anything produced by The Pokémon Company has been able to match.

Sims 4: 10 Best Taylor Swift Sims & CC To Download Right Now

Deven McClure — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 15:00:17 GMT

There's a lot of crossover between The Sims 4 players and Taylor Swift fans, with both attracting those who are drawn to things like creativity and storytelling. This means that there are also many Swiftie creators making custom content and Sims for others to use within the title to celebrate the star. However, this is also a bit of a double-edged sword - with such a vast array of uploads, it can be difficult for players to discern where to start.

Every Link vs. Ganondorf Duel In The Legend Of Zelda, Ranked

Andrew Zhou — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 12:00:16 GMT

Despite being an iconic villain for The Legend of Zelda, Ganondorf, the Gerudo form of Ganon, makes surprisingly few appearances in mainline games, with many entries opting instead to use other villains or different forms of Ganon. As a result, in spite of his relative popularity, Ganondorf is only actually fought in four mainline Zelda games - Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and, most recently, Tears of the Kingdom, which brought the villain back to a mainline Zelda for the first time in the almost 17 years since the release of Twilight Princess.

25 Greatest Final Fantasy Games Of All Time, Ranked

Damien Lykins — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 20:00:18 GMT

The terms “iconic” and “definitive” get tossed around so often that they can lose their impact, but the best games in the Final Fantasy series manage to earn the usage. The franchise truly defines an RPG sub-genre all its own, having forged an incredible legacy and reputation over three long decades in the gaming industry. From its 8-bit origins on the NES to the recent launch of Final Fantasy 16, the greatest Final Fantasy games bring fantasy worlds to vivid life and fill them with narratives, characters, and gameplay that capture the hearts of players worldwide.

10 Harry Potter: Magic Awakened Cards With The Best Art

Kaitlyn Peterson — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 17:31:18 GMT

Portkey Games' latest release, Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, is a card game wherein beautiful and unique artwork is a highlight alongside the gameplay itself. In Magic Awakened, players attend Hogwarts and participate in duels using cards designed around some of the spells and creatures from the Harry Potter franchise. Many of these cards feature stunning artwork reminiscent of iconic scenes from the Harry Potter films.

All 8 Mario Kart 8 Wave 5 DLC Tracks, Ranked Worst To Best

Carrie Lambertsen — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 15:32:17 GMT

Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass content for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is here, with eight new tracks spread across the Feather Cup and Cherry Cup for players to challenge each other on. Each of these DLC packs has built upon the foundation laid by Mario Kart games in the past by bringing updated versions of several of the favorite courses of previous games, as well as introducing some new surprises. Wave 5 of MK8 DLC means there is just one more Booster Course Pass wave left from the announced content updates for the game, but there are lots of tracks to enjoy with this round.

10 Saddest & Most Shocking Character Deaths In Final Fantasy 16

Lee D'Amato — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 13:00:16 GMT

Final Fantasy 16 has a high body count, but some of its deaths are more surprising (and sadder) than others. It's one of the darker stories in the Final Fantasy canon, and has the requisite bloodshed to match. From the thousands of nameless soldiers burnt to a crisp by the fury of powerful Eikons to the handful of familiar faces who meet an unjust and untimely demise, FF16 does not shy away from the subject of death: in fact, it often embraces it as a mechanism for changing and growing the survivors.

Cyberpunk 2077: 10 Best Perks, Ranked

Jake Dee — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 19:30:17 GMT

Cyberpunk 2077 offers a complex network of skills for players to upgrade, and knowing what the best perks are is one of the easiest ways for players to get a jump ahead on the streets of Night City. With the recent success of Netflix series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and upcoming release of Phantom Liberty on September 26, 2023, it's no surprise to see veteran players and newcomers alike flocking to Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red has also announced plans for an official follow-up game, although this project is still likely to be a long way off.

10 GameCube Games We Want To See On Nintendo Switch Online

Carrie Lambertsen — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 18:31:18 GMT

The Nintendo Switch console has brought many older games back to the hands of players through the Nintendo Switch Online platform, but there are still many more games from the GameCube era that would be great on the current system. The Nintendo GameCube console was popular between 2001 and 2006 and had many games from classic franchises and introduced new favorites to its fanbase. There are now several well-known game series that made their start on the GameCube, and which many people would likely love to relive or experience for themselves thanks to NSO.

Disney Dreamlight Valley: 10 Best Recipes To Sell For Star Coins

Kaitlyn Peterson — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 17:03:40 GMT

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, there are plenty of ways to make money, but one of the easiest methods is stocking up on high-selling meals that can be traded at Goofy's Stall for Star Coins. However, with over 100 different recipes to choose from and new ones being added with updates, it can be a little tricky to narrow down which ones are worth the time and ingredients.

7 Best Dungeons & Dragons 5e Campaign Modules, Ranked

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 16:46:18 GMT

When most people start playing Dungeons & Dragons, their first stop will be one of the many pre-written game modules created by Wizards of the Coast. These adventure modules have storylines, combat encounters, and magical items all planned out, letting everyone dive straight into the adventure. Best of all, D&D 5e has some fantastic published adventures for players and DMs to sink their teeth into.

Every Village In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, Ranked By Vibes

Joanna Koziol — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 12:00:17 GMT

Villages are the lifeblood of Hyrule, and are thus an integral part of gameplay in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - but with each having a distinct feel that sets it apart from the rest, some ultimately have better vibes than others. Just like in real life, each of the various regions across TOTK's map display a unique subculture through their values, lifestyle, cuisine, architecture, fashion choices, location, and more. Such factors are what ultimately sculpt the identity of the settlements, arguably more so than its inhabitants themselves, and so they're what paints some TOTK villages as more inviting than others.

10 Ways Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Is Better Than Fallen Order

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 20:30:17 GMT

There is no denying the success of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor; the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order managed to surpass its predecessor in many ways by building and expanding on what came before it. Jedi: Survivor took the format established in Jedi: Fallen Order and used that to tell a new story, add new mechanics, and even surprise players with the amount of attention to detail.

10 Rarest Things That Can Happen In Hogwarts Legacy

Joanna Koziol — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 18:30:17 GMT

Hogwarts Legacy is full of magical happenings, events, and interactions that help bring the wizarding world to life - but a few occurrences are so uncommon, that most players will probably miss out on them entirely. Indeed, every witch and wizard's playthrough of the Harry Potter-inspired RPG is unique, with the game offering choices in character customization, House selection, dialogue options, and even branching paths of magic. Randomized world events also play a role in making each player's journey different from the next, especially if they happen to experience some of the rarest things that can happen in Hogwarts Legacy.

Diablo 4 Season 1: 7 Ways To Prepare For Season Of The Malignant

Carrie Lambertsen — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 16:00:17 GMT

The upcoming Season 1 of Diablo 4 has been officially announced and given the theme of Season of the Malignant by Blizzard developers, but there is still a lot that players can do before the Season begins to prepare themselves for this adventure. The upcoming Season Journey will allow players a chance to experience a series of quests and content that provides special seasonal bonuses and rewards. The unique storyline will only be available during the Season and gives a fresh side story that will change quarterly with each new Season.

5 FF16 Characters Who Deserved Way More Screen Time

Derek Garcia — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 14:00:20 GMT

Though Final Fantasy 16 does an excellent job in providing its protagonist with a fully fleshed out character arc, the game contains a fascinating supporting cast, and many of them would have benefited from more screen time. Players see Clive Rosfield transition from a sheltered youth to an embittered weapon of war, before ultimately becoming a symbol of hope for all Valisthea. Clive’s arc does not happen in a vacuum, as he is shaped by his encounters with allies and enemies alike. Some of those characters are just as compelling as Clive and deserve more time in the spotlight to expound on their stories.

8 Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Recipes You Still Don’t Know Exist

Joanna Koziol — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 12:00:18 GMT

Cooking is an integral part of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, as a warm meal or a freshly-prepared snack can effectively rejuvenate Link - but even so, there are some recipes that players still probably aren't familiar with. After all, with a large variety of fruits, mushrooms, meats, and other ingredients to experiment with over the cooking pot, only dedicated players will be able to cook up every individual recipe under Hyrule's sun (especially if they find themselves repeatedly returning to a handful of favorite dishes). As it so happens, though, some of the most secret Tears of the Kingdom recipes are also some of the tastiest-sounding.

5 Characters Final Fantasy 16's DLC Should Focus On First

Andrew Zhou — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 13:01:16 GMT

As Final Fantasy 16 moves past its launch and potentially looks to DLC, there's a good chance that future story content for the game could focus on characters other than its main protagonist - whether as an alternate playable character or just a focus of a DLC story. Especially as FF16 bucks series tradition by placing Clive as its sole playable character, further expansions for the game could represent an opportunity to expand on some of the game's other major faces.

10 Silliest Masks, Hoods, & Hats For Link In Zelda: TOTK

Matthew Wilcox — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 11:00:18 GMT

Link can collect many masks, hoods, and hats in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and some of these look remarkably silly. Armor sets in TOTK are extremely diverse in terms of appearance, with most articles also bestowing useful bonus effects in addition to a level of defense. But regardless of their practical uses, it cannot be denied that some sets simply make Link look funny when worn, especially when it comes to some of TOTK’s available headgear.

Zelda: TOTK - Every Regional Phenomena Questline, Ranked Worst To Best

Melissa Sarnowski — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 19:51:16 GMT

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has quests that send Link to each region to explore odd occurrences that are plaguing the people living there. Like in Breath of the Wild, Link receives help from a character in each region, which turns into him gaining an ability that can be used going forward. For Tears of the Kingdom, those abilities are rewarded as part of the "Regional Phenomena" main quests, each of which have their own unique vibe.

10 Great D&D Character Builds To Try If You Hate Using Magic

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 14:41:13 GMT

Dungeons & Dragons is a game synonymous with magic; however, not everyone who wants to play a TTRPG wants to play as a spellcaster. While DnD allows players to lose themselves in the fantasy of becoming powerful wizards, not everyone wants that in their game. In fact, one of DnD's greatest strengths is the versatility it has when creating new characters to suit any playstyle.

10 Delicious Zelda: TOTK Recipes We Can’t Wait To Eat In Real Life

Joanna Koziol — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 11:00:15 GMT

To stay healthy and on top of his game, Link will need to cook and eat various recipes in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - but some sound so delicious, that it might tempt the appetite of some players in real life. With new ingredients to experiment with and the addition of the Zonai Portable Pot, cooking is convenient and often quite exciting, especially when a new combination unexpectedly turns into an absolutely mouthwatering meal.

10 Final Fantasy 16 Side Quests Actually Worth Doing

Lee D'Amato — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 14:32:14 GMT

It can be hard to know which of Final Fantasy 16's side quests are worth taking on just by looking at them. In the early game, most FF16 sidequests waste the player's time, sending them after pointless objectives with worthless rewards. While the side quest situation does improve later on in the game, especially with the introduction of more challenging Notorious Marks on the Hunt Board, the player has been primed to expect disappointment. As a result, they may end up skipping side quests that don't immediately look interesting, which can mean losing out on certain features since side quests are missable.

Jedi: Survivor - 9 Things To Do Most Players Never Discover

Robert Collins — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 12:35:16 GMT

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor affords players a significant amount of freedom in exploration, which results in plenty of in-game moments that go undiscovered. While most of the story is linear, guiding the player through a set story and specific quests, the planets of Koboh and Jedha especially allow the player to wander in fairly large areas. With a fictional universe as vast as that of Star Wars, it's easy for a game like Jedi: Survivor to hide all manner of things that some players may never find.

All Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Mounts & Pets, Ranked

Carrie Lambertsen — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 22:00:18 GMT

One of the joys in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life and other cozy life and farming sim games is being able to have a plethora of adorable animals to pet and have around the player's farm. In this remake of A Wonderful Life, there are a handful of horses and pets that can join the family alongside all the various options for livestock. These mounts and pets don't provide a financial benefit, but they can make the experience of playing the game even more rewarding and immersive by simply being around and looking sweet and cute.

All 12 Bridles & Saddles In Zelda: TOTK, Ranked

Luke Horwitz — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 10:38:15 GMT

A mainstay in the Legend of Zelda series, horses make a reappearance in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which features numerous horse equipment customization options, but none more important than Link's choice of saddle and bridle. To accessorize a steed, Link must earn Pony Points. This new form of currency is gained when Link registers his horse at any of Hyrule's many stables or when he lodges in stable accommodation. When Link has accumulated a satisfactory amount of Pony Points, he can then exchange them, in a stable, for saddles, bridles, and other customization options.

10 Sims Features & Gameplay Still Missing From Sims 4

Joanna Koziol — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 15:33:16 GMT

The Sims 4 is slowly, but surely approaching its tenth birthday, and yet it's still missing some of the most iconic features from previous Sims games. The most recent entry in the popular life-simulation franchise, which launched in September 2014, was initially met with less-than-favorable reception. What was meant to be the most progressive and advanced Sims game yet was missing dozens of core gameplay elements (such as pools or, more notoriously, the entire toddler life stage). Since then, many such aspects have slowly been added to the game - either through base game updates or DLC - but nonetheless, there are still plenty of features that Sims 4 is missing.

10 Pokémon Card 151 Secret Rares With The Best Artwork, Ranked

Bruno Yonezawa — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 18:30:13 GMT

The new Pokémon TCG set called Pokémon Card 151 has been released in Japan and all of its cards have been revealed, including the collection’s Secret Rare Cards. Secret Rares are special and alternative versions of regular cards in the set. They have a lower drop rate in boosters and are usually worth a decent amount of money when sold to collectors. The official Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet 151 set is something of a commemorative collection, focusing mainly on creatures from Generation 1 and the foundation they set for the franchise.

All 15 Fire-Type Pokémon That Don't Evolve (Yet)

Carrie Lambertsen — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 15:00:18 GMT

Within the ever-expanding world of Pokémon, there are still some lone pocket monsters listed in the Pokédex who do not have any evolution line attached to them, at least that have been discovered so far. The research into the phenomenon of Pokémon continues to discover new creatures regularly, so there may be some revelations in the future. Currently, there remain some who seem to be all by themselves without an ability to evolve.

Every Animal Link Can Ride In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Ranked

Joanna Koziol — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 14:54:23 GMT

As always, the Hero of Hyrule has places to be in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - and fortunately, there are a variety of four-legged creatures that can help him get from point A to point B. Taking place only a few years after Breath of the Wild, Hyrule's ecosystem hasn't changed all too much, and many of the same animals are available in TOTK. But with the latest Zelda game putting Link in all sorts of new predicaments, he'll need to reevaluate the importance of each mountable creature in Tears of the Kingdom.

10 Easiest Hunts In Final Fantasy 16 To Complete ASAP

Lee D'Amato — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 11:01:16 GMT

Some of Final Fantasy 16's Notorious Marks are easier than others. Unlocked during the main quest step "The Gathering Storm," the Hunt Board is probably FF16's most expansive side activity. It puts players up against a wide variety of The Twins' strongest monsters, providing them with extra opportunities to garner some Gil, XP, and rare materials. Uniquely, the Hunt Board also provides points toward a stat called Renown, which can later be cashed in for crates full of useful items at the Patron's Whisper in the Hideaway. Hunts also allow players to refine their tactics so they can improve their Battle Ratings in FF16.

All 7 Eikon Fights In Final Fantasy 16, Ranked By Difficulty

Lee D'Amato — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 19:30:16 GMT

Eikon fights are some of Final Fantasy 16's most showstopping battles, with earthshaking footfalls, fire raining from the sky, and strong winds blustering the battlefield - but they're not always that difficult. Oftentimes, they're even more exciting than the regular battles, even though they play out more slowly. There's more at stake when the combatants' every move causes collateral damage that could take months to repair. FF16 clearly knows this, and reserves its Eikon battles for its most impactful story beats. Eikon fights are few and far between in FF16, but every single one counts. Whenever Clive takes on his Eikonic form, players know that something big's about to go down.

7 Powerful Items You Aren’t Using Enough In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

Joanna Koziol — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 17:30:17 GMT

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is teeming with various items for Link to experiment with, but there are some that he may not be using as often as he ought to be. Thanks to the new Fuse ability, players are now allowed to use items much more creatively than they could in Breath of the Wild, being able to attach various resources to weapons, arrows, shields, or even their own Ultrahand builds. Almost everything is fair game, so there's nearly an endless number of Fuse combinations for Link to test out - but a few in particular stand out as the best items in TOTK (yet also the most underrated).

Every Track & New Character In Mario Kart 8’s Wave 5 Booster Course Pass

Lee D'Amato — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 16:35:17 GMT

Mario Kart 8's Booster Course Pass Wave 5 was first announced at the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, bringing a new crop of characters and tracks to the game. This is the fifth edition of Mario Kart 8 expansions, each of which has featured a wealth of new content to keep the game fresh. The latest entry in the worldwide hit kart racer series is approaching its tenth year since release, so these Booster Course Pass Waves are useful in preventing player fatigue in the absence of a whole new game.

5 Final Fantasy Games That Were Just As Dark As FF16

Coleman Gailloreto — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 16:30:16 GMT

Many players see Final Fantasy 16 as a darker and edgier take on more light-hearted games in the Final Fantasy franchise, pointing to its tormented, revenge-seeking protagonist, its dying world with a geopolitical situation straight out of Game of Thrones, and the superhuman dominants who can transform into Kaiju-sized monsters and raze cities. A closer look at past Final Fantasy games, however, makes it clear that developers at Square Enix have been willing to explore dark, apocalyptic storylines and fantasy worlds for quite some time.

10 Biggest Questions Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Never Answered

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 17:30:17 GMT

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor amazed players with its improvements in gameplay and thrilling story; however, that’s not to say there weren’t some questions that needed answering after completing the game. As well planned out as Jedi: Survivor’s plot was, there are still some things that were just left hanging.

12 Rarest Pokémon Cards You'll Never Catch

Luke Horwitz — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 14:15:15 GMT

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the value of rare and desirable Pokémon TCG cards skyrocketed, and although the value of many cards has fallen in recent years, the TCG remains incredibly popular and collectors are always on the hunt for the rarest cards - for their own collection or potentially as an asset to sell. Although there are thousands of unique cards, some are incredibly common; some of the rarest Pokémon cards, however, were only ever produced in small numbers, and in many cases, even fewer copies are thought to be extant.

10 Coolest Items To Fuse With The Master Sword In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Joanna Koziol — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 19:15:17 GMT

The Master Sword is one of the coolest weapons in the Zelda series, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is no exception - but it can become even cooler with the help of Fuse. Link's newfound ability to attach items to his armaments has resulted in some creative and awe-inspiring combinations, ranging from death-dealing weapons of destruction to ones that are plain silly. With hundreds of different materials to choose from, though, players may be unsure of which items to attach to the Master Sword for the best results.

7 Street Fighter 6 Classic Costumes Better Than SF6's New Outfits

Luke Horwitz — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 16:00:17 GMT

At launch Street Fighter 6 features 18 unique characters, all of whom have an unlockable classic or alternative costume option. Although Street Fighter 6 introduces many new combatants, the latest game in the Street Fighter franchise also reenlists several veteran characters and series favorites - albeit with a revamped costume design. Once unlocked or purchased, the Street Fighter 6 classic outfit customization option allows players to return redesigned combatants to a more familiar appearance. Although the fresh takes on classic characters are, for the most part, excellent, some costume redesigns are not nearly as good as the alternative option - classic outfits.

10 Pokémon Names You're Definitely Still Pronouncing Wrong

Luke Horwitz — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 14:00:17 GMT

At its 1996 launch, the Pokémon franchise was home to 151 Pokémon; today however, as of the latest releases, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, that number has ballooned to over 1,000 - some of which have widely mispronounced names. The vast majority of Pokémon have interesting names that are fairly easy to accurately pronounce; however, there are some Pokémon that have names that range in ease of pronunciation from outright difficult to seemingly almost impossible. Some have names that are not pronounced as they are spelled, others are complex due to etymologies being sourced from other languages, and yet more, are often mispronounced due to a lack of consensus.

10 D&D Tips & Tricks For Making Gold Fast & Getting Rich Quick

Carrie Lambertsen — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 18:30:16 GMT

Making gold isn't generally the main focus of Dungeons and Dragons for most parties, but having more means players can purchase better armor, weapons, and magical items which can make the game a lot of fun and equip the characters for more advanced combat. Always keep in mind, however, that most villages that weary adventurers are stumbling upon are not affluent, and the value of a silver piece may feel like a lot to some of the NPCs. While it is always fun to get rich, the roleplaying perspective should be taken into consideration as well.

10 Biggest Things FF16 Steals From Game Of Thrones

Coleman Gailloreto — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 17:30:17 GMT

Final Fantasy 16 has a different tone from many of the previous Final Fantasy RPGs thanks to the inspiration it draws from other works of fantasy media, particularly Game of Thrones. The acrobatic combat system and terrain-shattering boss fights of Final Fantasy 16 owe a lot to games like Devil May Cry, while the dark, grim plot of the game draws direct inspirations from the politics and shock of the Game of Thrones TV series. Certain characters and story beats in FF16 are near identical to specific characters and plot twists in Game of Thrones.

Every Zelda: TOTK Temple Boss Rematch In The Depths, Ranked By Difficulty

Andrew Zhou — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 16:30:16 GMT

The four temple bosses of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom all provide fights with unique mechanics - but while players will first encounter each boss at their requisite temple as part of TOTK's main story, each boss can also be found and rematched multiple times at specific locations in the Depths. Alongside the Depths' unique enemies, the temple boss rematches offer unique rewards, making them well worth the time to seek out and complete.

Every New & Returning Planet Confirmed For Star Wars Outlaws

Uchenna Onyia — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 14:31:14 GMT

The upcoming Star Wars Outlaws, developed by Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment, is set to be the first ever truly open-world game set in the Star Wars galaxy, and will include both brand new and iconic returning planets to explore. The Star Wars universe has never failed to capture the hearts of fans with its epic tales of adventure, space battles and exotic planetary landscapes. Early looks at Outlaws have been well received by fans; Ubisoft has highlighted the immersive gameplay and engaging dialogue with new characters, locations, and storyline.

10 Best Baby Pokémon Cards (& How Much They're Worth)

Carrie Lambertsen — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 18:00:17 GMT

The Pokémon Trading Card Game features thousands of cards covering all kinds of pocket monsters from every Generation, including several cards for all 19 of the official Baby Pokémon listed in the ever-expanding Pokédex. Baby Pokémon were introduced in Gen 2 and are the lowest evolutions in their lines and cannot breed. They are not the strongest cards a player could use, but they are still great additions to any deck, as well as adorable when simply obtained to enjoy the artwork or collect.

10 Most Hilarious Ways For Sims To Die In Sims 4

Luke Horwitz — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 16:00:18 GMT

Death, for most, is no laughing matter; however, in The Sims 4, there are numerous humorous ways a Sim can perish. In a series that allows a player to experience a unique life, it's not surprising that bizarre, hilarious, and unexpected methods and causes of death are a significant feature in the Sims franchise - and have been since its earliest release. Although a Sim can pass away under tragic, yet boring circumstances such as starvation, fire, or drowning, there are, in each game, several more entertaining ways an unfortunate Sim can meet their end.

Zelda: TOTK - 8 Best Rooms You Should Build For Link’s House First

Joanna Koziol — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 13:00:18 GMT

In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link has the opportunity to build a house of his own - but with so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to decide which rooms to implement first. To gain access to the property, players will first need to complete the "Mattison's Independence" side quest in Tarrey Town, then purchase the lot for 1500 rupees. Once they've officially done so (and completed the tutorial with Granteson), they'll be free to construct the house to their heart's desire. With rooms costing a pretty penny themselves, though, players should take care to buy the best rooms for Link's house first.

5 Jedi From Star Wars Movies Referenced In Jedi: Survivor

Eric Huels — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 19:02:16 GMT

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor features several exciting references to notable Jedi from the Star Wars movies. From subtle nods to direct connections, the game manages to include prominent Jedi Masters from the Prequel films and the Clone Wars era of Star Wars in a way that feels organic and expands the backstories of Cal and his allies. Not all of Jedi: Survivor’s references to other Jedi are critical to the plot, but they are definitely rewarding to hardcore Star Wars fans, who may be able to see how these Easter eggs could blossom into something more in a sequel.
