The following ranked list includes conventional dungeons for 5 players along with raids for 10, 20 or 40 people, which are only available at the max level.

Hello! Welcome back to the Video Game City Week. In this piece, Matthew makes the case for including Shenmue’s harbour in our ultimate video game metropolis. And, if you wanted more Shenmue in your city, while not check out Aamir’s piece on Hotel Niaowu from earlier in the week? Shenmue isn’t for everyone, and the make or break moment, I think, is in the last third or so of the story....

Welchia was successful in ridding the world of the Blaster worm, earning it a reputation for being a helpful worm, also called Nematodes after a species of worm that kills garden pests.While Welchia was created to be a helpful worm rather than malware, it did have consequences that threatened system safety for the Navy and businesses alike.The only issue to occur due to the Welchia virus was a massive system slowdown due to the resource-intensive nature of the propagation technique used....

UPDATE 5/5/22: Furi developer The Game Bakers has issued a short statement to fans on the game’s lack of DLC support for Xbox. The indie title originally released for console on PlayStation in July 2016, when it arrived via PlayStation Plus. It then did not arrive on Xbox until December that year.

The grandmaster of the Lin Kuei and arguably Mortal Kombat’s most famous character, Sub Zero, is joining the Injustice 2 roster this July. Warner Bros has released a new trailer showing off some gameplay of Sub Zero leathering into Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. There’s also a look at Sub Zero’s chilling super move. Chilling because he’s cold, y’see. Sub Zero is part of the Fighter Pack 1 DLC with Starfire and Red Hood, coming to Injustice 2 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this July....

NetherRealm Studios’ Injustice 2 has been out in the wild for almost two months now. The fighter was well-received by critics, who gushed over its flashy visuals, reworked mechanics, and excellent story (not that fighting games are known for their intricate plots). Fans are still enjoying the super fun, dramatic, and combo-heavy gameplay. Microtransaction shenanigans and frustrating RNG-based loot drops aside, there’s so much to love for this game from the community....

Insomniac Games’ Sunset Overdrive looks set to arrive on PC in the near future, if a rating by the ESRB is anything to go by (via Kotaku). This is the second time that Sunset Overdrive has been rated for PC, with the Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee listing the game back in May. The ESRB rating doesn’t cough up any new info, although it seems pretty clear at this point that a PC port is definitely on the horizon....

Super Mario Odyssey, jewel in Nintendo Switch’s software crown, is the best-selling game to hit the system to date. Super fans will be happy to learn that the title’s celebrated soundtrack is now available for purchase. As well as the Switch is doing for itself just now, early signs were not so positive. It launched at an odd time of year, without a true killer app (beyond The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which was also available for Wii U)....

This week’s enjoyable first episode of Ms Marvel included a neat gaming nod for Nintendo fans. Dialogue between Kamala Khan and her high school friends revealed they play Super Smash Bros together - meaning Nintendo’s all-star fighter is now Marvel Cinematic Universe canon. Kamala herself seemed to be a fan of Smash, though her friend Nakia was less keen. “Are you inviting me over to play Smash Bros? Because if so, I’m busy,” Kamala’s friend Nakia says at one point, when discussing the group’s weekend plans....

The Tekken series seems to be the most secular fighting franchise, as it isn’t mentioned much alongside names like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat due to its different feel. It started out much stronger than it is today, leading long-time fans claiming Tekken peaked over a decade or so ago, and that open-world games have caused the series to lose quite a bit of its value. In order to put that notion to the test, we’ve ranked every game in the series to see where the current entries stack up against the older ones....

So you’ve finished the content that Temtem currently has to offer… Now what? The Early Access for Temtem is reaching its one month mark and by now a lot of the community is approaching the current endpoint for what the game offers so far. Just because you can’t progress in the story doesn’t mean there isn’t still a lot for you to accomplish. Let’s break down some of the options open to you once you reach that point....

Tetris Effect: Connected is the “ultimate” Tetris game, in development for Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC. Developer Enhance made the game in response to players’ heartwarming stories of Tetris Effect, and the “unprecedented forms of isolation” caused by the coronavirus crisis.

The Sims 4: Seasons has been out for a few weeks now and players have had enough time to really start exploring all the game has to offer and it really is a huge amount. Although expansion packs always add a great deal of content, Seasons really goes above and beyond. Although the weather and seasons themselves are obviously the focus of the pack, it has also brought with it a lot of other features....

Action figures have long been seen as more than mere toys. Where children might see something fun to play with, adults see something potentially worth money. Wrestling toys are no different than those featuring superheroes or cartoon characters. While wrestling, in general, might not enjoy the same reputation as other hobbies and fandoms, there are still millions of fans who used to be kids and never lost their passion. Either because of nostalgia, investment, or because of the indescribable need to stockpile objects felt by collectors everywhere, these people flock towards the toys that feature the heroes of their youth....

Since 1992, the Mortal Kombat franchise has been entertaining gamers with its intense game play and cartoonish violence. While it has seen its fair share of ups and downs, the brand has been on the upswing recently. Even so, those in charge of the property have fumbled the ball on a few occasions. As a celebration of everything done right and an acknowledgement of where it could be better, the following list will detail the five best things to happen to Mortal Kombat in this decade, and the five worst....

The survival genre is a peculiar one. While most games specialize in crafting an immersive world you must manage and balance or perish, other games in this niche have simple goals—survive! In a typical game, players try to survive in a hostile environment for as long as possible. They typically do this by scavenging for resources, building shelter, and crafting weapons and tools. Players must use their wits and skills to survive, as death is permanent in most survival games....

The Beatles Christmas messages began as a personal show of holiday gratitude to the band’s fan club, but grew into an annual tradition as important as any evergreen chestnut for a generation. Growing up, the silly off-key carols meant Christmas. They were exciting. They were fun. They were funny. I never in my life worried about offending someone by saying Merry or Happy Christmas because, due to these recordings, I would forever mangle greetings like “Hare Kringle” and “very new jeers....
