Elden Ring: how to get the Flask of Wondrous Physick early on

This powerful item allows you to mix Crystal Tears to create custom elixirs with powerful effects. As I said, it’s a powerful item. And it’s available very early on in the game, if you know where to look. But the Third Church of Marika itself is completely unguarded. It can be obtained by defeating the Erdtree Avatar in the centre of the Weeping Peninsula.

2023 won't get a new main Call Of Duty, report claims

But this tradition may break next year, according to an unconfirmed report. Supposedly Activision have delayed next year’s game, leaving 2023 without a shiny new main series game. That doesn’t mean 2023 won’t have any new CoD, mind. We should still see some new CoDness in 2023, at least. Bloomberg say the Modern Warfare sequel will receive new content into 2023, as is customary. They also claim that a new free-to-play online CoD is coming in 2023....

Cyberpunk 2077 works now, but its real strengths and weaknesses remain unchanged

This isn’t Cyberpunk’s first update since launch, obviously. Alongside another stack of fixes, patch 1.5 makes substantive changes to Cyberpunk’s systems. These changes are much needed, at least in theory. Patch 1.5 aims to address the perk tree specifically, and it is better now. Do these changes turn levelling in Cyberpunk 2077 into a rich exercise in defining your playstyle? Sadly not, because the changes still don’t - and likely can’t - go far enough....

Get that red biro ready. “Tried jumping, didn’t work”, you might pop byDark Souls. “Nothing but grief here”, you mark byBloodborne. “Time for crab”, you scribble across each one in a mad frenzy. You are so tired of the crabs. They aren’t the most encouraging games, to say the least. WhatElden Ringprovides is an adventure unlike anything else or anyone else’s....

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is live and throwing errors

Patch notes are up, too Destiny 2’s latest expansion,The Witch Queen, is live now. It’s also bringing queues, because it’s a big new live service game. That’s pretty normal.
