You Can Find One Of The Coolest Swords In Baldur's Gate 3, But You Can't Use It

Star Wars: The Old Republic is adding dedicated 'Date Night' scenes for some of its romanceable characters, so that you can wine and dine them without worrying about the fate of the galaxy.

Rumors of Xbox going multi-platform have dominated discussion of gaming consoles recently, and as the time draws close for Microsoft to make an official announcement on the subject, there's already enough information out there to make a reasonably reliable prediction about what games Sony fans can expect to make the PlayStation 5 transition. Initial rumors of Xbox's transition away from exclusivity came as something of a surprise, especially considering Microsoft's recent focus on acquiring studios to push strong exclusives. At this point, however, it's hard to deny that there's a shift happening, whether Xbox fans like it or not.

We've eschewed any Valentine's theming this year, but Edwin put this in our news queue last night as a sort of dare for our evening shift, and let the record show I am less of a coward than Graham Smith. The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, a visual novel Tarot-themed card game from perennial (perhaps perineal, in this case) favourites Deconstructeam, was praised by Edwin in his review, and I was going to use the same strapline for this news post had he not got there first. Because now, in time for the season of romance, they've teamed up with sex toy purveyors Uberrime to create a frankly prohibitively massive dildo as an official tie-in for the game, which can be won in a free competition by three lucky people living in either the UK, EU, US or Canada (as in, they each win their own dildo; they don't have to time share).

has no shortage of interesting summons to employ in combat, but one of the most useful ones can be exceptionally easy to miss. Unlike summons in some classic RPGs like, summons are more than just special combat moves, entering battle with a unique place in the turn order and featuring movesets of their own. Some aren't especially well-suited to battle, but others tend to thrive in the midst of the fray and can provide some serious assistance when needed.

Two classic games from the Saints Row franchise are currently available for a very low price on the Xbox Store. The Saints Row games began on the seventh generation of consoles such as the Xbox 360. While most would consider many games from that era as lost treasures, the Series X and Series S surprisingly offer a chance to play some select older titles. Some backwards compatible gems even go as far back as the original Xbox.

Disney Lorcanaseems to have made it through a painful teething period. Now that cards are finally flowing into players’ hands in quantities large enough to turn away speculators, the fun can really begin. The next set, Into the Inklands, drops on Feb. 23 at local retailers, and Polygon had an early look at its two new starter decks. If you can only pick up one of these $16.99 decks, the choice is clear: Drop a lucky dime on Scrooge McDuck and friends.

Taken one way, Tracker, the new CBS drama premiering after the Super Bowl, is perhaps the most generic procedural ever devised. It stars a blandly charming white guy (Justin Hartley of This Is Us fame to most, Smallville fame to me) who makes a living finding missing people and collecting reward money, using his skills as a survivalist to travel the country and notice things others don’t, charming a local lady cop or doctor along the way. On the surface, Tracker is about as generic as network dramas come, the most smooth-brained 42 minutes you can spend between ads shouting WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER or listing pharmaceutical side effects. But I think Tracker is fascinating, actually, based entirely around what it isn’t about.

Looking into a new TV around Super Bowl Sunday is a tradition for a lot of people, and it can be a headache to decide which model to buy. I think it’s worth it for a lot of people to think long and hard about this decision because a lot of money may be on the line. But for the rest of you — come in closer — I’m just going to tell you one model that I think is great for the price.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is out now - as long as you opted into its early access release and you live in New Zealand where it's now January 30 - but it's already been pulled offline due to a huge bug with story progression.

World of Warcraft players can pick up close to a dozen new Kaldorei-themed transmog items scattered around Bel’ameth, the new Night Elf city. These new collectible cosmetics were added in World of Warcraft Patch 10.2.5, Seeds of Renewal.

In Baldur's Gate 3's second act, you have to brave the Gauntlet of Shar in search of the Nightsong. Along the way, you come across a hulking infernal trapped in a contract with Raphael called Orthon Yurgir. He's far less glamorous than our sweet-talking devil, adorning his armour with skulls and sleeping in a bed made of stitched-together corpses, belching out commands as he threatens us.

CM Punk may not be available in as a playable wrestler, but the community features of the game allow you to adopt the skills of this fighter. This controversial figure did not return to wrestling until after this game's release, so he is not part of the regular roster. The deep character customization can make you feel like this superstar was always intended to be in the ring.
