Mirian is the name of Shadow of War's currency, and is the main resource you'll be earning alongside XP as you play through the game. It's purpose is fairly minor during your main playthrough, but as you get to the endgame and have to repel multiple attacks on your fortresses it'll become far more central to your planning. Here on this page, then, we'll be explaining exactly how to farm Mirian in Shadow of War, including a list of all the general ways you can earn it in-game. [Read More]

Head over to Humble today and you can claim a free copy of the 2012 paranormal mafia shooter for absolutely nothing. Your game will be delivered as a Steam key and is compatible with PC or Mac.

The final hours of City of Heroes

 Posted on March 2, 2023  |  11 minutes  |  2164 words  |  Patria Henriques

On the last night of the world, things are surprisingly quiet. There's the occasional alien invasion, just for old time's sake. In hidden laboratories, mad scientists who haven't heard the news that City of Heroes is to be shut down at midnight continue their plans to conquer a doomed world. Civilians find themselves alone in empty streets. "Where's a hero when you need them?" they sigh. Tonight, they're mostly in Atlas Park, Paragon City's central hub. [Read More]

Order yours now from Simply Games. It would be impossible to argue that EA had done a bad job of its partnership with New Line and the Lord of the Rings films so far. The Two Towers and The Return of the King were shining examples of the handling of film licenses, if not the brightest instances, showing a commitment to the property's assets and the mirroring of the movies themselves in taking a full action stance.

The PUBG Pan wasn't meant to be bulletproof

 Posted on March 2, 2023  |  6 minutes  |  1187 words  |  Mittie Cheatwood

PUBG's most iconic weapon isn't a shotgun, an assault rifle or an SMG. In fact, in most other contexts, you wouldn't even consider it much of a weapon at all, you'd probably just use it to make eggs. But here, in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, it carries a greater meaning, a higher purpose. Oh and also, if you stick it on your bum, it could very well save your life. I am, of course, talking about the frying pan. [Read More]

Analogue Pocket review: the ultimate retro handheld

 Posted on March 1, 2023  |  12 minutes  |  2549 words  |  Arica Deslauriers

This is it, the Analogue Pocket, the closest we've come yet to the definitive retro portable, capable of playing a wide range of handheld cartridge games including the entire Game Boy Catalogue and Sega's Game Gear. It's a beautifully crafted device with a huge screen, based on an FPGA processor. Think of this as a chip that can be reprogrammed to match the actual logic of the original hardware, giving nigh-on perfect simulation of how those old consoles worked. [Read More]

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War takes up to 250GB of drive space on PC at launch, Activision has confirmed. That's if you want the full game installed, running at the Ultra RTX specification. This means running the game at a high fps in 4K resolution with ray tracing. Run the game at any specification lower than that, and you're looking at 175GB of drive space. However, you can have just the multiplayer only installed. [Read More]

Capcom is really leaning into the explosive popularity of Resident Evil Village's Lady Dimitrescu - it's made a life-sized towel of the 9'6" tall vampiric villain to promote the game in Japan. As reported by Siliconera, Capcom Japan launched a Twitter competition for a chance to win the towel, and it released a clip showing the three meters-long prize compared to a 180cm-tall man. #ヴィレッジ体験版 と一緒に体験版の感想や、お気に入りのショットを投稿しよう！ 抽選で等身大ドミトレスクバスタオルが当たる！ ※成人男性(身長約180cm)との比較 https://t.co/5QHvxldpqE pic.
