Frogger and the Rumbling Ruins will unite players with the titular Frogger as he learns about the lost treasure of an ancient frog tribe (why are they ancient - your guess is as good as mine, but I’d say… maybe they croaked?). However, this is not all. Along with the promise of hidden riches, something else strange is going on, as “an alarming number of froglets are disappearing around the world”....

Below, you can find out when the exact Genshin Impact 3.0 release time is, who the new and returning characters are, and what new events are getting added with the upcoming The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings patch....
After securing funds to open up a shop as part of the Weinlesefest celebrations in Of Ballads and Brews, you’ll then have to balance your business funds during multiple customer cycles in the ‘Manage Shop’ section of the event. You can get rewards such as Primogems for reaching certain milestones every day when managing the shop, and there’s also rewards for obtaining one million business earnings over the course of every day combined....
One we’ve spotted over on Currys is an additional £5-off an already discounted item – specifically, the Legend of Zelda edition of Nintendo’s Game and Watch system, up for grabs for £25 with code ‘FNDDGAMING’. To secure this deal, you’ll have to set the delivery method to ‘Collection’ from a local Currys store near you – you’ll have to do this on the item’s store page before reaching the checkout where you’ll enter the code for it to recognise the bonus £5-off deal....
The Odyssey G9 normally retails for £1280, but with the aforementioned discount you’re looking at a price of £999 instead. That still sounds like a lot - and it is! - but you have to remember that you’re getting a 49-inch screen that’s two perfectly joined 27-inch monitors. Get the Samsung Odyssey G9 for £999 (was £1279) The specifications here are incredible too. The total resolution is 5120x1440, with a buttery-smooth refresh rate of 240Hz and DisplayHDR 1000 certification....
The Operation Motherland update, due out 2nd November, revolves around the new Conquest mode, which is described as an alternative mode to Ghost Recon Breakpoint’s story mode. Here’s the setup: “Your mission on Auroa is over and Nomad has left the island. A few months later, the island has become a key strategic target for powerful countries interested in controlling the island and its technology. “The CIA aims to ease global tensions by giving the power on the island to a neutral force – Ito and the Outcasts – turning Auroa into an autonomous country....
This is a piece where I’m going to have to refer you to the embedded video to get the complete picture on how FSR 2.0 compares to these alternative solutions. You see, all of the upscalers I looked at actually fare rather well when looking at static imagery. To get a flavour for how these technologies really work, it’s important to see them in motion. The secret to their success is that they are based on the concept of temporal accumulation - pixels from prior frames are injected into the current one....
Currys are currently offering the standard Switch console in neon with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Minecraft and 3 months of Switch Online membership for just £259. This is a really good offer given the small reductions we see for Nintendo Switch games, particularly Mario Kart 8, which is rarely under £40. This is the standard Nintendo Switch console and not a Lite model, so you can connect it to a TV with the included dock and split the controls for two players....
You can jump into Payday 2 and start planning heists without bankrupting yourself right now thanks to the latest Humble Bundle, which offers the base game and all of Payday 2’s 63 DLC packs, which contain a variety of heists and content packs, for as little as £19. The total value of this bundle is almost £175, so you’ll be saving around £156 if you get it for the lowest possible price....
When translating all that into a racing game, there’s only ever really one point of contact as opposed to the all-encompassing feel of being in a car, where those vibrations and sensations are translated through all that plastic and metal you’re sitting in. With a racing game, it tends to just be the piece of plastic that’s in your hand that does all the talking, which is what makes it such an important piece of any set-up....
It’s the show that has helped F1 finally break the US - pre-sale tickets to next year’s Miami event sold out in 40 minutes, even though the cheapest on offer was some £500 - so it’s no surprise it’s an approach Codemasters is hoping will help push its Grid series in front of a wider audience. With FMV interludes and a fresh emphasis on the rivalries and tensions that have been in the series ever since its TOCA days, Grid Legends is all about the drama....
Many players expected it to launch yesterday, 11th July, but it’s still not live. It should still arrive this week, though. “The team is still working on our upcoming Halo Infinite network co-op Insider flight build. While we always said our ’target was the week of July 11’, many sites reported it simply as ‘starting July 11.’ Still hoping for this week, but it will not start today,” tweeted Jarrard yesterday....
Included in that latter category are Halo Master Chief Collection and the recently-released Halo Infinite, plus Gears 5 and (somewhat bizarrely) the old Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Why aren’t these games supported? Microsoft simply said it was “due to anti-cheat”. Speaking to me earlier, Digital Foundry’s Rich Leadbetter pointed out that this also covers Halo Infinite’s campaign mode. “Verified” games include Double Fine’s Psychonauts 2, Ninja Theory’s Hellbade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Battletoads and Max: The Curse of Brotherhood....
Cavill is currently doing press for the second season of The Witcher, which hits Netflix on 17th December. Back in February he shared an Instagram post with a blurred out script many speculated could be for a potential Mass Effect project. Games Radar asked him if he’d be interested in starring in the Mass Effect TV show. “Very much so, yeah, all depending on how they’re executing it,” said Cavill....
“Due to a particularly cold winter, the first thing you’ll notice about the Island is that the western half’s a wintry biome,” the studio teases in the video description. “Perhaps stop by the suburban Greasy Grove, the industrial Logjam Lumberyard, and other locales. “Like warmer weather? To the east are the tropics, with coastal keys, palm trees, and weathered sights to see. Although The Seven have outposts all throughout the Island, the tropics are home to their home, the ‘Sanctuary’....
However, fans of Beahm have given the footage a mixed reception - especially after the project was hyped up by the streamer and compared to Call of Duty. In June, a widely-shared comment by Beahm stated that Deadrop “blows out anything from the COD engine”. What we’re seeing today is a look at Deadrop as it stands currently, for those who paid $50 for a Founders Access Pass (yes, that’s the one which includes a procedurally-generated NFT for your character avatar)....
This is, of course, provided you have owned previous games on that family of platforms - and though physical and digital purchases have different steps, the general process is the same. Progression and unlocks from Hitman 2 can also be carried over into Hitman 3, which is a higher recommended step to take before you first start the game, otherwise any new progress you make will be replaced. Update (January 20th, 2022): With the arrival of Hitman 3’s second year, developer IO has said some details might be changing....
The broadcast will showcase around 14-minutes of in-game footage and our first look at actual gameplay. If you have nothing else to do with your Thursday, some kind of “uniquely crafted countdown” will be live from 5pm UK time, so be sure to tune in to that. Unlike Sony’s last State of Play, which heavily featured Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, there’s no word of any other games being shown....
Scorn was announced way back in 2016, and its Kickstarter campaign - which exceeded its €150,000 (£128,000) target by almost €50,000 (£42k) - initially intimated a launch date in October 2018. Sadly that was not to be, and this year’s expected release was then also delayed to an unspecified time in 2022. A new update to the game’s Kickstarter page, however, now states that “December has been a pretty huge month for us at Ebb Software”, with Ebb Software’s CEO, Ljubomir Peklar, confirming the game has now hit “75 per cent completion” and will hopefully launch in October 2022....
