The Penn and the sword Shortly after touching down on Hyrule inThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you can take on a number of quests hinted at around Lookout Landing. Purah specifically points Link towards the Lucky Clover Gazette, a newspaper that’s helping in the search for Zelda, and the starting point for Potential Princess Sightings. A reporter job in Hyrule might seem strange, at first. But not only do you get a rad reporter pal and some decent pay, you can also pick up a special set of armor that will help on rainy days....

Lethal Companyhas a ton of mysteries to uncover, from itsbestiary of monstersto its universe of planets to explore.

Recently developer Alex Preston responded to a question regarding a 1080p resolution for the game, and had this to say, “Our game is 480p. It’s low resolution, and very intentionally so. It is pixel style, so why would we make it 1080p? I don’t think anybody actually cares about this with 2D games....

And in its own way, that’s kind of awesome. It’s a pleasant surprise, then, to see this latest fishing game from SIMS (Sega Bass Fishing) arrive on PlayStation Vita on July 10, 2025. The PlayStation Bloghas the details, reporting thatHooked Onwill release for $19....
