We’d recommend getting as high a level as possible - we did it at level 45, taking around three hours - as the more damage you can dish out the faster it will go. Unlocking the Limit Break nodes so each party member can do over 9999 damage will also help things go quicker. Cindy will send you to speak to Dave, so wander over to him for more background, and then head inside the diner to talk to everyone else - exactly who’s available in there may depend on story progression and other sidequests you’ve completed, but once you’ve found out all you can head into the desert and speak to Monica....

Coming as part of update 1.12 alongside the release of Episode Prompto, it fixes a common complaint from launch - why can’t you take the Regalia off-road? The way you get the monster truck upgrade is very simple, and the restrictions on where you can go are surprisingly few in number - so consider it a viable alternative to your trusty Chocobo. Next, load up a save file, and head to Cindy at Hammerhead, and speak to her, who will be excited to tell you about a new off-road upgrade....

These include Sega’s own Altered Beast, ToeJam & Earl, Dynamite Headdy and Sword of Vermillion, as well as Technosoft’s Thunder Force 2. There are no new N64 games today.

Of course, we’ve all had improbably illustrious careers as football managers by now. This isn’t just the 19th instalment of Football Manager since SI’s split with Eidos, but also 30 years since the original Championship Manager debuted back in 1992. Tasting continental victory for the first time was pretty magical, once upon a time. But even with revamped CL presentation and THAT song (The Champiooons!) finding their way into this latest release, you can’t help but feel like you’re revisiting very well trodden ground by now when you topple PSG in the final....

The Tenno are there, Warframe’s space ninjas and guardians of the solar system, in their strange organic armour. And for years, Warframe wasn’t a lot more than that to me. A decent enough action title with a lot of grinding, unlocking new “warframes” to fight in. In my mind it’s always sat alongside Destiny. Interesting space settings tethered to a treadmill of rote action. But while I’ve spent the last year or so giving both of these games another go, amused by certain additions (Destiny’s bow is a joy to wield and Warframe’s Octavia kills enemies with custom music…how could I not) only one of them has managed to grab me....

In April this year, Bungie served the celebrated composer behind the original Halo music with contempt of court papers over videos related to Destiny that were uploaded to O’Donnell’s YouTube channel and other platforms. Some of these videos were early musical sketches of what became Music of the Spheres, the much-loved musical foundation for 2014’s Destiny. The contempt of court claim relates to the terms of a prior lawsuit between Bungie and O’Donnell over his acrimonious exit from the company - a lawsuit O’Donnell eventually won....

This challenge is only available during Week 7 of this season, joining the epic quests involving the newly added Ferrari 296 GTB.

Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed....

The eye-opening judgment includes the largest-ever settlement obtained by the FTC regarding the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, as Fortnite allowed in-game chat and user data collection by default. Fortnite holds a “Teen” rating by the US ratings board ESRB, but the FTC has argued Epic Games knew many of its users were likely under 13 years of age and had not obtained their parents’ consent. The remainder of the fine relates to a separate decision by the FTC that Fortnite included “illegal dark patterns” to “trick players into making unwanted purchases and let children rack up unauthorised charges without any parental involvement”....

A Twitter account belonging to the scalpers boasted it had “over 2000 checkouts successfully logged for today’s GAME restock on the PS5” and that it “just keeps getting easier every time”.
