Whether you’re here for sport or driven here by the story, discovering the secrets at the heart of this tomb is a crucial piece ofBG3’squest line. The Thorm Mausoleum inBG3lies east of the House of Healing, another big area in the Shadow-Cursed Lands that you’ll need to explore for side quest purposes.

‘Now kiss!’ I forget thatPlayStation Homeis still a functional piece of software that receives regular content updates, not some lost relic to marvel (and poke fun) at.

WhileSenran Kaguraproducer Kenichiro Takaki intends tokeep the core series on the 3DSand its potential successors, he’s not opposed to bringing spin-offs to other platforms....

Regardless of my cowardly tendencies, I occasionally enjoy jumping out of my comfort zone to get my heart pumping. It may keep me up at night, but for the most part, it always brings on a sense of thrill that other genres haven’t quite hit. My nightmares as of late have now involved clowns, thanks to my horrific preview ofKiller Klowns From Outer Space: The Game. And, I mean that in an entirely good way....

Coming up isFelix the CatandRocket Knight Adventures: Resparked. I’m just learning this now, butFelix the Catis turning 105 this year.

Now comes the conclusion to the “BIG DUMB ANIME TRILOGY” (just kidding, we’ll definitely play more crazy anime games....

Time to clear them out In with the new, out with the old – as they said. While actual hardware spec on the Xbox One S hasn’t fully revealed (beyond 40% smaller, internal power supply, yada yada)… there are inklings that the Xbox One S will bemore powerful.
