In return for donating robot parts, you’ll get blueprints, rare weapons, an emote, and, yes, even a guitar.So, if you want a display to showcase your mastery over Arc Raiders’ machines, you’ll need to complete all five stages of the Trophy Display project.

Latest Preorder Updates, Prices, and More

By

The Ascended Heroes expansion is about to kick off the Pokémon TCG’s 2026 run with its 30 January release date fast approaching, and there are only a couple of places where you can reliably buy preorders for ETBs, booster packs, and collections right now. That’s along with not every product being launched on that 30 January release date. As expected, the usual drops at MSRP at sites like the Pokémon Center US and UK are already sold out. Preorders at Target are already sold out as well, while Best Buy’s selection is merely marked as “Coming Soon”.With that, outside of…

Code Vein 2 Review (PS5)

By

Code Vein 2 is the latest in a long line of action RPGs chasing the lofty heights of FromSoftware’s immortal Dark Souls series, and like so many others before it, falls well short of the mark.

Baldur’s Gate 3 modder adds legally distinct Poké Balls so you can ‘capture non-player characters inside a ball and free them later (or don’t)’

By

In a game packed with interesting items that can be used for all kinds of productive and/or sinister purposes, one of Baldur’s Gate 3’s more flavorful bits of enchanted ephemera is the Iron Flask, an item you can find early in the game that, as its tooltip says, “can hold friends and foes.” The only way to learn what it contains, however, is to throw it—at which point you’ll discover the spectator that was imprisoned within is very much a foe to you and everything else in the vicinity. And then presumably you’d be hit with one of its many…
