Sand Land, the new open-world action-adventure based on one of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama’s lesser-known works is out now, and its surprisingly complex for an anime adaptation. Combat is a big part of Sand Land, with players taking on countless enemies in both hand-to-hand combat as main character Beelzebub or while piloting a variety of different vehicles. It might be slightly overwhelming at first, but don’t worry, we have some tips for dominating the dunes…

Don't fight as Beelzebub if you don't have to, but...
While Sand Land gives you the option of fighting most battles in or out of a vehicle, you’re almost always going to want to choose to be in the vehicle. You’re just a lot more resilient inside your tank or another ride than trying to take everything down with your fists. That said, you will have to get out of your tank for certain battles because the game makes you, or because it simply doesn’t fit in a specific area, so here are a few tips for fighting as regular ol’ Beelzebub.
Make sure to lock on
While piloting a tank or other vehicle, you can’t lock on, which is fine because the pace of vehicle battles is a bit slower. Things get a bit more frantic when fighting as Beelzebub, but thankfully, you can lock on while out of a vehicle by pressing down the right stick.
Dodge, dodge, dodge
Beelzebub is vulnerable, so stay on your toes. When you see a red flash around the enemy, push the right shoulder button to dodge.
If you’re in a vehicle like you ought to be…
Okay, enough Beelzebub tips, here’s how to lay waste while in your tank or another vehicle.
Keep your distance and circle
While your instinct may be to rush into the middle of a pack of enemies and mix it up, that’s not the best approach. All your vehicle’s weapons are ranged, which is a sign the game wants you go keep your distance and remain a moving target. Getting right in the midst of the melee is just a good way to get surrounded and overwhelmed. Furthermore, if a pack of enemies come at you, don’t double straight back – that leaves you open to their shots. Instead, keep your distance and circle around your opponents. Enemies are terrible shots when you’re moving side-to-side so you can largely avoid damage by circling.
Use your Primary weapon against vehicles, your secondary weapon against small fleshy foes
Every vehicle in the game has a primary and secondary weapon, and it’s important to know when to use them. Primary weapons do the heavy damage you’ll need to tackle other tanks, bosses, and large enemies, but they tend to be slow and less accurate. Your secondary weapon is less powerful, but you have more control

For a while in the late 2010/early 2020s, it seemed liked gaming subscriptions may be the future of the hobby. Microsoft certainly wanted us to think it was the future, pushing Xbox Game Pass every chance they got, and Sony eventually joined the party with their own expanded PlayStation Plus service.
Electronic Arts has released its Q4 2024 earnings, and overall, it was a solid 12 months for the company. Overall, EA has brought in revenue or $7.43 billion, up 1 percent over FY2023, with both EA Sports FC 24 and Madden NFL 24 having record-setting years in terms of revenue generated (Madden was the best-selling entry in the series since the early 2000s).
Like previous entries in the series, Mortal Kombat 1 is rolling out plenty of DLC fighters, with the game’s first “Kombat Pack” so far serving up Omni-Man from Invincible, Quan Chi, Peacemaker from Suicide Squad, and Ermac.

No Rest for the Wicked, the new action-rpg/roguelike from Ori developer Moon Studios is out now in early access and eliciting a mix of responses. Most have been struck by the game’s obvious potential, but some have also complained the game is a bit overly demanding when it comes to PC performance, particularly considering it’s an isometric Diablo-like (albeit a very nice-looking one).
Sand Land, the new open-world action-adventure based on one of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama’s lesser-known works is out now, and its surprisingly complex for an anime adaptation. One of things you’re going to want to do early on to make your life easier is upgrade your home base of Spino Town. While it may not the very most important upgrade, the Furniture Shop is fun, as it allows you to decorate your very own Animal-Crossing-style room. You’ll have to complete a series of sidequests in order to get the Furniture Shop, but don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it…

Taking place in early June, the Xbox Games Showcase will feature games from Microsoft’s full portfolio of developers, including “Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda, Xbox Game Studios” and even some third-party publishers.

Helldivers 2 has dropped its latest update, and while it mostly focuses on balance changes, there are a lot of balance changes to talk about. Well over half the weapons in the game have received changes, with some, like the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and R-36 Eruptor, getting pretty significant nerfs.

Excitement has been slowly building for Manor Lords, a unique Middle-Ages-set combination of city building and real-time-strategy, for some time now, and now it seems it’s the latest big indie success. Manor Lords launched into early access today, and peaked at just a hair shy of 160,000 concurrent players on Steam, good for a top 5 place on the charts, even displacing the suddenly-hot Fallout 4 at times. It’s also the top-seller on Steam right now. And these stats don’t capture the whole picture, as Manor Lords isn’t a Steam exclusive – it’s also available via Game Pass on PC and Xbox Series X/S. For those who haven’t been keeping up, here’s a look at Manor Lords in action.
When are we finally going to get a release date for the Silent Hill 2 remake? The game is widely expected to launch sometime in 2024, but PR from Konami has been spotty at best. We got a somewhat-questionable trailer back in February (that even developer Bloober Team criticized as not representative of the final game) and as we head deeper into the year, there’s still a lot to be nailed down. The game’s been rated by the ESRB and there are rumors it may pop up at a PlayStation Showcase next month, but Konami themselves have remained silent.
