The requirements for better weapons and tools inRuneScape Dragonwildsmean that you’ll constantly need new resources, and Oak Wood should be high on your priority list. While the Stone Logging Axe can cut through the Ash trees in Bramblemead Valley, it falls short when you come across Oak Trees. The game will tell you the need for a stronger axe if you come across an Oak Tree. Ideally, the Bronze Axe is far more powerful than the Stone variant, and it helps you get Oak Wood....

Get in loser, we’re storming the Stronghold Call of Duty‘s new DMZ mode features a whole host of interesting new locations for players to discover, one of them being coveted, heavily guarded Strongholds. Whether you’re taking one on to complete a mission, grab some better gear, or simply for the challenge in and of itself, you’re going to need a key to get in there. Thankfully, they’re not too hard to find....

Early inCat Quest 3, you may have noticed spots in the water that rippled mysteriously. To get that underwater booty, you need to acquire an item from a captured Purrmaid. Rescuing the Purrmaid (yes, a cat mermaid) is no easy feat. You’ll need to have progressed enough in the game to be able to fight against level 50 enemies. Why? because her jailers are tough, and they won’t give her up without a fight....

Remnant 2‘s Yaesha world is one of the game’s more impressive biomes: not only because it looks lovely, but also because it featuressome of the game’s most involved puzzlesand gameplay sequences. Depending on the specific version of Yaesha that the player ends up exploring, they may or may not come up against a huge water harp, with the obvious task being that they need to get it to play the right tones for the way to open....

GIVE IT TO ME Remember that awesomeMega ManNES mod? Creator Ryan Fitzpatrick is back, and this time he’s appealing right to my childhood with hisTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtleNES mod. The system features the four radical heroes displayed on the top, and it’s all backlit too. Plus, there’s four themed controllers based on heroes in a half-shell. There area ton of photosover on Ryan’s Facebook, and you can bid on the consoleon eBayif you think this is worth a little over $1,000....

First impressions Right now, I’m happy with my$50 Steam Link streaming box. It works exactly as it should, and the quality is impeccable. It helps that the thing is first-party after all and is designed to work with Steam. The controller, on the other hand, is taking a little while to acclimate to. I’ve only tested it out for a full day, but right now I’m not sure if I’ll be using the Steam Controller full-time for my PC needs....

Their heart seems to be in the right place, though We recently got a glimpse of Electronic Arts and Waystone Games’ multiplayer online battle arena gameDawngatefrom its official site, but here’s the ensuing “first look” video. While it isn’t all developers talking about their hopes for the project, go in expecting to hear a lot of discussion along those lines. Spirit wells, areas on the map that generate AI-controlled harvesters for the team that controls the region, sound like an interesting idea....

New releases slam into the top spots As predicted, this week sees a shake-up in the UK Charts, with some long-termers dropping out of the Top Ten to make way for some of the biggest new releases of 2018 so far. Both Capcom’sMonster Hunter: Worldand Bandai Namco’sDragon Ball FighterZsaw great success, debuting at numbers one and two respectively. The new games leap-frogged Activision’sCall of Duty: WWIIand EA’sFIFA 18, which have both held an impressive monopoly on the top spots since release....

Also, Fuser We’re so close to the next generation: but Nintendo doesn’t care! For them, “next-gen” arrived three years ago, but truthfully, Nintendo kind of skates around the idea of “generations” anyway. They do what they do, they (generally) sell a ton of consoles and first-party software, then they do their own thing yet again. The Switch has been executing that strategy to aplomb with strong hardware and software sales....

Or two novel pieces of interactive fiction inHer StoryandThe Beginner’s Guide....

There’s no indication of a date just yet, but today’steaser trailerlays out some of the narrative groundwork.

All new visuals to boot ThePrince of Persiaseries has been on a bit of a lull period lately. While therumors of a next-genPrince of Persiamull around, Ubisoft is digging back into franchise history to bringPrince of Persia: Shadow and Flameto mobile. As some of you will have guessed, this is in fact a recreation of the 1993 title of a similar name. Pune Studios, the same folks behind 2007’s XBLA titlePrince of Persia Classic,will be heading up this effort....
