The Gen 1 starters are the perfect place to begin, and we imagine will run alongside regular Community Day events throughout the year. This event is ideal for both newcomers and experienced players alike, because, not only does it offer you the chance to fill in some Pokédex entries, but you can find a Bulbasaur with 100% perfect IV stats. Below you’ll find a preview of shiny Bulbasaur and, for when you find the ideal Bulbasaur, the Bulbasaur evolution chart and Venusaur’s best moveset....

The aptly named Little Bear Pokémon is a great choice for Community Day, not only because it is ridiculously cute, but also because it is a chance for Niantic to release its fully evolved form, Ursaluna, into the game, along with a brand new method of evolving Pokémon in Pokémon Go. All told, there really hasn’t been a better chance to go hunting for a shiny Teddiursa, Ursaring and it’s final evolution, Ursaluna....

The rumour comes courtesy of Nate the Hate and has been corroborated by VentureBeat’s Jeff Grubb. It’s also rumoured that multiple Silent Hill projects are in the works, including a new mainline entry in the series as well as side projects. “This is the stuff I’ve heard, and it comes from multiple different sources,” said Grubb. “Not all of my sources are primary, but everything is mostly lining up. To me, the biggest indicator is the stuff I’ve seen lines up with Konami doing a big reveal at E3 last year before it pulled out....

We briefly heard about this crossover back in January, though now we know when it arrives, and can actually see how it all looks. Here’s a gameplay trailer: This isn’t the first time Konami has let its long-lost survival horror franchise appear in other games. A year ago, Silent Hill similarly popped up in asymmetrical horror Dead by Daylight, where Pyramid Head became a playable character. Konami seems keen to keep Silent Hill ticking over, though when might we hear about a return for the franchise proper?...

When Annie’s DLC debuts in March, it’ll be in the form of a Steam early access release, which the studio will continue to balance until it’s satisfied the character is ready for the primetime. This early access version will include Annie (who was initially designed for Skullgirls Mobile), as well as her stage, Sound Stage 17. The full and final DLC release - currently anticipated to arrive on Steam and PlayStation some time in May - will also feature her Story Mode....

As you’d expect, Sniper Elite 5 will deliver more of the series’ “unparalleled tactical sniping”, as Rebellion puts it, alongside an enhanced version of the iconic kill cam, said to be “more realistic and grisly than ever”. All that comes with a shift in location, with Sniper Elite 5’s WW2 yarn taking the series away from Italy circa 1943, as seen in the previous game, to the France of 1944....

Spend an hour with it and, tuned-up visuals notwithstanding, you might struggle to notice any difference beyond the charmless new monetisation elements. There’s the same delightful range of MOBA-ish abilities, the same awkward pivot between cultural archetype and dodgy stereotype in the character and cosmetic design, the same sunny ambience and brilliant tactical audio, and the same rousing premise of corpo-progressive Pixar Avengers murdering each other for possession of small wagons and courtyards....

Most importantly, you should be using a mouse that’s ergonomic- basically one that comfortably fits your hand size, is easy to grip, and moves around with ease. If it’s not the right design for you, it could put extra strain on your hand and wrist and can impact productivity. Logitech make some of the best wired and wireless mice out there and have a huge range of different shapes, sizes, styles, and prices to fit your needs....

Thing is, none of them are about the absolute best thing about Transformers, which is the toys themselves. Robots that transform into vehicles, cassette players, animals, differently shaped robots and even buildings (take THAT, Tom Hanks) is a bloomin’ brilliant concept to start with, and they’re just loads of fun to play with. Taking what can be a perfectly normal looking toy car and converting it to a (usually) humanoid robot with a few twists and turns is so satisfying, especially if you can figure it out for yourself....

We’d recommend at least playing through some of Sonic Mania before reading on for spoiler purposes, and to read up on how to master Sonic Mania special stages to unlock and see everything on offer. If you have purchased the Encore or Sonic Mania Plus upgrades, note the following is the same as the base version released in 2017. On this page: Sonic Mania PS4 Level Select: Options, Triangle and Square....

God of War 2018, if you’re unfamiliar, reunites with Kratos some time after his reckoning with the gods of Olympus. It’s all change as the game begins; not only has our protagonist gained a big bushy beard and slightly mellower demeanour in the interim (not to mention, got himself a son), he’s swapped the opulence of Ancient Greece for colder climes, living a quieter life in the snow-ravaged realm of the Norse Gods....

The new service, which launches in June, combines features of both PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now into one service with three distinct subscription tiers. The three tiers are as follows: PlayStation Plus Essential (£6.99 monthly / £19.99 quarterly / £49.99 yearly) offers the same benefits as PlayStation Plus now, namely two monthly downloadable games, online multiplayer access, cloud storage for saved games, and extra discounts. PlayStation Plus Extra (£10.99 monthly / £31....

You’ll be able to venture into its rusted suburbs and swamps from 24th March, publisher Raw Fury announced today. Norco’s Act One demo is also available now via Steam, and progress in it will carry over to the full release. Our Chris Tapsell had a tinker with the game’s demo last summer, where he described it as “tantalising”. “A vast, looming chemical plant has poisoned the river and the community,” he wrote....

At one point, total viewership to TheGrefg’s channel hit 2.4 million - nearly quadruple the record set by fellow Fortnite fan Ninja back in 2018 when he played the battle royale with rapper Drake and notched up 635,000 viewers. (TheGrefg already beat that total once - narrowly - back in December, with a stream watched by just over the 639,000 people.) Twitch confirmed the record-breaking viewership last night, shortly after TheGrefg’s stream finished and his Fortnite skin was unveiled....

Here she is as Iden Versio in Battlefront 2: As Deadline reports, Gavankar will play the role of Commander Knoxx in the Borderlands movie - a new key character being added to the Borderlands franchise. Commander Knoxx is the daughter of General Knoxx, who commands the Crimson Lance faction in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, an add-on pack for the original Borderlands. The Borderlands movie is being directed by Eli Roth, and will focus on the story of Lilith as she returns to her home planet of Pandora in search of the missing daughter of “the universe’s most powerful S....

Legacy of the Sith had been set to launch next week, on 14th December, but will now not arrive until 15th February 2022. BioWare only confirmed the expansion’s previous release date last month, making this hold-up something of a surprise. “Legacy of the Sith is something the team has been hard at work on for quite a while but as we get ever closer to launch, it is clear that we need a bit more time,” project director Keith Kanneg wrote in a new blog post....

Republic Commando was originally released on PC and the OG Xbox in 2005. Set during the Clone Wars, it lets you play as a clone trooper and command the rest of your squad alongside you. Here’s how it looked back in the day: Aspyr said it has brought Republic Commando back as a single-player only experience with modernised controls. The original game, which is currently available on PC, and Xbox Series X / S and Xbox One via backwards compatibility, has a 16-player multiplayer option....

“Throughout our engagement with the DFEH [State of California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing], we have complied with every proper request in support of its review even as we had been implementing reforms to ensure our workplaces are welcoming and safe for every employee. Those changes continue today, and include: Several high-level personnel changes; Revamped hiring and recruiting practices requiring diverse interview panels; Greater transparency on pay equity; Expanded and improved training and investigative capabilities for human resource and compliance staff; Created investigation teams outside of business units to support greater independence; Restructured divisions to support greater accountability; Enhanced review processes to include evaluation of managers by employees; Clear boundaries on workplace behaviour with a zero-tolerance approach to harassment and other actions that diminish or marginalise....

This month is Pokémon Go’s sixth anniversary and yes, six years on, a lot of people still play Pokémon Go. Perhaps that’s not a surprise - with a launch that big, any game would linger on in the public consciousness, and on the billion or so devices it has been downloaded upon to date. But that, of course, is not why millions of people still regularly play - and the reasons why people do are as diverse as its player base....

After two months of planning, the streamer finally finished the challenge on 25th October. There are 165 bosses in the game, which GinoMachino defeated without a single hit. It’s a seriously impressive run, using various techniques to kill most bosses in just a handful of hits. You can watch the run on his Twitch stream. Of course, I had to skip ahead in his run to watch a few key battles, even if the sight of Radahn defeated in mere seconds without even triggering the second phase is depressing....
