Bythe end of the first season, Sunraku and his pals successfully defeated Wethermon the Tombguard and established their own clan. Granted that they only recently established a clan, it’s reasonable that setting it up takes time. Meanwhile, the trio accomplishes their own goals. However, the trio’s incredible feat won’t let them simply game in peace....

Hades 2has been in Early Access for about a week, with the developer tweaking the game here and there with minor hotfixes....

And failing that, at least catch this trailer While I imagine there’s nothing quite like putting on an Oculus Rift for yourself and diving intoEVR, Joseph’s descriptions from Fanfest and this trailer have me convinced the project should see a wider release. Six-on-six dogfighting from CCP? That sounds delightful as a game concept, as always, and even better as an argument for virtual-reality gaming. It was disappointing, then, to have CCP come out and say that the build we’ve heard about from folks who attended the recent event will not be playable by the public at large....

If you’re leveling your crafters inFinal Fantasy XIV, it might be a good idea to look into turning your favorites into Specialists. To do this, you’ll need Soul of the Crafter, which will give unique perks and actions when unlocked. Soul of the Crafter works differently toSoul Crystals(or Job Stones, they’re both the same thing). Instead of automatically getting a Crystal at a certain level, you need to unlock Soul of the Crafter through a side quest, and then assign specific crafting classes as specialisms....

“Everything you see on Sunday, see it inMadden NFL.” That has been the mantra of the design team at EA Tiburon for the past two years, and while a TV-style presentation is great, most gamers would likely tell you that they’d prefer to see everything that happenson the fieldin an NFL game get replicated inMadden. I’ve spent a few hours with a final version ofMadden NFL 11(both at an EA press event in New York three weeks ago, and at home with a boxed retail copy this past weekend), and I’m here to report on how well the game plays....
