Debuting in the remastered mobile versions of the game, unlike other stages which appear in sequence, Hidden Palace Zone can only be found by discovering a particular route. The stage appears again in2022’s Sonic Origins, and though it’s not subject to any Trophies or Achievements, is well worth a visit for those who didn’t play the mobile releases. If you are attempting to access this from the Sonic 2 level select cheat, know it must be accessed normally first - with the following section explaining how....

As explained in Amplitude’s announcement, events in Humankind - Día de los Muertos is hoped to be the first of “many” - will task players with completing various challenges across multiple chapters, with new chapters unlocking over the course of the event. Completing challenges will award players with unique customisation options, including symbols, frames, and avatars. Humankind’s Día de los Muertos event consists of two chapters, taking their cue from Mexico’s Day of the Dead with challenges inspired by religion, celebration, and mesoamerican cultures....

Newton was fixated with phosphenes, the frantic scattering light displays that erupt when you press your palms to your eyes and bother the optic nerve. Light from darkness: you can see why such an imbalance would have made Newton a bit grumpy. But also the wonder of it: these scrolling, tunneling, chequerboard passageways that seem to open up between you and the world around you. Magic. Would Isaac Newton have liked Hyper Demon?...

While Hyper Light Drifter served up a tautly designed single-player adventure blending rich exploration with challenging melee combat in a strikingly presented top-down, 2D world, Hyper Light Breaker looks like a very different take on the same universe. It all unfolds in the Overgrowth, a new “vast, ever-changing” (and fully 3D) world consisting of massive, open biomes and deep labyrinths - which players can navigate using the likes of wall-dashing, hoverboarding, and gliding....

Robertson became somewhat of an internet darling following her portrayal of the towering and beguiling Lady Dimitrescu in Resident Evil Village. She won legions of fans for her part in Capcom’s long running series, and even won a few awards for it too. Needless to say, dear reader, I am one of those fans, and since hearing she was a part of God of War Ragnarök, I have been eager to find her character in the game....

But the reason he’s haunted by Kubrick, as opposed to possessed, is that while Nolan’s work has always channelled a bit of Kubrick’s, it’s never truly become it - never quite ascending to that plane. Nolan, since the still extraordinary Memento, has been a director who takes the themes, the scale, the technical marvel of directors like Kubrick and channelled these into making films that are repeatedly, often incomparably impressive....

My guest today wrote all of those and she’s currently writing three more. She actually finished writing the Halo cookbook a year ago, though how she pulled recipes from a world like that I don’t know. What does Master Chief even eat? Can he eat? It can’t be easy going to the toilet in that suit. My guest immerses herself in these worlds to create a kind of extension of them....

That’s according to Bellular News (thanks, GameRant), which has calculated that to fully max out a character, a player would need to spend over $100,000 on microtransactions, as it’s seemingly not possible to do so without spending real money. You can check out the full breakdown below: Players in Diablo Immortal have three progression pillars: XP level, equipment level, and Legendary Gems. The first two are pretty standard fare in any RPG-type game, but collating Legendary Gems can be a costly and convoluted process as the way you get them is randomised and often exceedingly rare… and right now, it seems as though F2P players cannot earn them at all....

Back in February, Bowser was told he would serve 40 months behind bars - more than three years - after pleading guilty to his part in the distribution and sale of piracy-enabling devices. Now, newly-detailed documentation dug up by Axios and Kotaku has revealed how Nintendo’s lawyers and US district judge Robert Lasnik discussed Bowser’s jail time as a means to set an example - even as Bowser’s own lawyers argued his physical health was at risk, and argued that Bowser had already spent 16 months locked up awaiting trial....

Inspired by Jurassic World Dominion, the DLC ushers in a new campaign, “as well as welcoming four awe-inspiring new species to their facilities”, and “a never-before-seen natural lagoon”. Here, you can get a peek at the action in the teaser trailer below: “Along with a new campaign, players can play with new film-inspired buildings and introduce “four fascinating new prehistoric species to their parks - the Atrociraptor, omnivorous Oviraptor, feathered Moros Intrepidus, and the Lystrosaurus,” Frontier explains....

This release includes the main game plus three DLCs: The Teeth of Naros, Legend of Dead Kel, and Weapons and Armor bundles. The Nintendo Switch announcement trailer is below: Publisher THQ Nordic said it plans to release brand new Kingdoms of Amalur expansion Fatesworn later this year. Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a remaster of the original action RPG developed by Big Huge Games and 38 Studios. That game launched on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012, published by EA....

You can see this with something like Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion and Jewelry, which tells the story of a couple’s relationship by means of an auction catalogue for all of their stuff. It’s beautifully done: pages of chronological listings, from the flyer for the Halloween party at which they meet to a rather sad selection of old champagne corks - special moments no longer treasured....

We’ve also noticed that the G502 Lightspeed wireless version has also been reduced, from £130 all the way to £58. It’s the same mouse, but with Logitech’s industry-leading wireless and without the faff of a wire. It rarely gets reduced this low too! Get the Logitech G502 Hero for £30 (was £80) Get the Logitech G502 Lightspeed for £58 (was £130) Get the Logitech G305 Lightspeed for £24 (was £52)...

That means it’ll be ready for you if you’re planning to play Oranges via Xbox Game Pass, when it joins Microsoft’s subscription service on 7th June. There’s no word yet on any further new content coming to Origins, though it’s worth remembering there was a while inbetween Ubisoft’s similar 60fps boost for Odyssey and its star Kassandra getting new things to do. ORIGINAL STORY 19/5/22: Ancient Egypt-set Assassin’s Creed Origins looks set to receive a 60fps update for current-gen consoles in the near future....

“The previous Minecraft Preview build available to Xbox Insiders inadvertently included prototype code for raytracing support on Xbox consoles,” Microsoft said in a message posted to the official Minecraft Twitter account. It added the “early prototype code” has now been removed from Minecraft Preview and that its recent appearance “doesn’t signal near future plans to bring raytracing support to consoles.” ORIGINAL STORY 29/3/22: Despite being used as a showcase for Xbox Series X/S’ raytracing capabilities prior to the console’s launch in 2020, Minecraft has so far remained doggedly raytracing-free on the machine....

ORIGINAL STORY 2.30pm UK: The well-received Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 looks soon to launch on Nintendo Switch. That’s according to a string of teasing tweets from various Activision game accounts last night, all interacting with the Birdman himself. Tony Hawk - who has previously revealed his games on Twitter a little earlier than he should have - last night engaged in a convo with the official Crash Bandicoot, Nintendo of America and Activision accounts....

The continued sales success of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe had left many fans wondering if Nintendo was still planning an all-new Mario Kart for Nintendo Switch - or whether the platform would just be left with its hugely-popular Wii U port. Writing on GamesIndustry.biz, Toto said Mario Kart 9 would include “a new twist” and could be ready to be shown this year. Previous gimmicks in Mario Kart games have included dual racers (Double Dash!...

Architects only available once an outpost has been established on a planet, and you’ll need to undertake a short quest to face off against them - such as Making an Impression on Eos - but since they provide 400 Andromeda points a piece they’re definitely worth your time. If you’re after help for parts of the game, consult our Mass Effect Andromeda walkthrough and guide. Our sister site, Jelly Deals also has a guide to the best Mass Effect merch you can find online right now, with some fantastic gift ideas in there too....

Instead of going directly to Twitter, users who are testing the console’s latest dashboard update must instead upload footage through the “mobile sharing” option for Xbox’s Game DVR (spotted by Windows Central). Other apps in this section include the likes of Facebook and Instagram. This means the only option for Xbox users testing this latest console update is to upload gameplay clips to their phones first. Then, from their phone they can go on to upload the footage to their Twitter feed....

The decision, announced this afternoon in a blog post by company president Brad Smith, does not mention Xbox by name but seems sure to include Microsoft’s gaming brand. “Like the rest of the world, we are horrified, angered and saddened by the images and news coming from the war in Ukraine and condemn this unjustified, unprovoked and unlawful invasion by Russia,” Smith wrote. “We are announcing today that we will suspend all new sales of Microsoft products and services in Russia....
