The Pandora’s Lunchbox, just like its name, is a confusing item inPEAK, as it comes with random effects. It’s one of those items that you can never be sure what it does until you’ve opened it. Understanding how the item works is important, as you can’t control the random outcomes. How does the Pandora’s Lunchbox work in PEAK? The effects of Pandora’s Lunchbox are completely random. Upon further inspection, I found more details about it from thisdetailed guide by pharmacomaniac on Steam forums....

The Shooting Star Festival takes place on Summer 28 each year, and lore-wise, it’s a chance for people to get together with friends, family, and loved ones to watch the meteor shower that takes place at that time....

The cat’s out of the bag, and good thing the cat’s got nine lives. Arkane’sDeathloopand its endless lather, rinse, repeat cycle is set for next May. Except this isn’t shampoo. It’s murder and death. Yesterday, the New ZealandPlayStation Store accidentally outedDeathloop‘s July 02, 2025 release date. Maybe it’s because of the International Date Line or maybe it’s because someone just can’t read a calendar, but that date was perfectly accurate.Bethesda confirmed it today....

Ezio probably would be the Tony Stark of the group In case you were wondering, there’s noInfinity Warspoilers here! Just a look at an older piece of promotional art. Although the assassins ofAssassin’s Creedmostly exist in different periods of time and have never met each other, that didn’t stop artist Turul from imagining them as one cohesive unit. Using theAvengers: Infinity Warposter as a base, they managed to smash in just about every major character from theCreedseries, with some decent amalgams as it pertains to theAvengersposter....

Maybe Nintendo doesn’t care aboutMetroid‘s 25th anniversary, but I know some bad dudes who do. You may remember theBad Dudesfrom their amazingCHRONOTORIOUSalbum. Or maybe you know them best for their entire album dedicated toSagat’s themefromStreet Fighter II. Well, this extremely tough and talented group of arrangers (which includes our very own Dale North) is back, this time with a fitting tribute to theMetroidfranchise. Having listened to the entire album, I’ll say it’s some great stuff (you’re able to check out my reviewhere), but to give you some highlights: there’s Kraid, there’s Ridley, there’s Mother Brain, and yes, there’s even some spore-spawn mini-boss action fromSuper Metroid....

Goodbye Penarch Battlebornis set on a cool premise: there is one star left in the universe and all spacefaring species have converged on it as the last place where life can be sustained. I had previously assumed it was meant to take place in the ultra-distant future when the last of the stars is fizzling out naturally. However, this short prequel series shows there is more at play in the dying universe....

Sobble all the way One day you’re going to wake up to the news that CoroCoro magazine unveiled a new Pokémon forthe newly announcedSwordandShieldthat’s literally a piece of trash and you’re going to be pissed. It’s inevitable. Before any of that grief happens and thePokémoncycle (“I’m done with this series,” “wow a new dragon I’m back in!”) begins anew, we can start (ha) with the starters. Once again there’s three:Grookey,Scorbunny, andSobble....

BioShockis a game about moral choices. Well, it actuallyisn’t, and that’s the problem.BioShock‘s moral choice system was, to put it bluntly, about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the bollocks. Deciding between killing little girls or saving them didn’t really work as a moral dilemma, and we askedBioShock 2creative director Jordan Thomas why these moral choices struggle to succeed in videogames. “Well, that’s a long conversation,” warns Thomas. “Part of it descends from the way humans regard simulacra vs....
