Six hour trial Dragon Age: Inquisitionended up beinga pretty great game(phew), and starting today EA Access members can play it early.

As for EA Access it seems like a pretty inoffensive service so far, especially withthe Vault’scurrently impressive lineup....

FromSoftware’s latest shows little sign of slowing down [Update:The NPD Group has issued an update, retracting the statement thatElden Ringis one of the all-time top 10 best-selling premium games in the U.S. market. “Because the ranked charts do not include the full history for all titles and all platforms—across both physical and digital sales—this note was worded too definitively for what is an incomplete comparable universe,” wrote NPD’s Mat Piscatella onTwitter....

Gears 5was specifically mentioned as a title that’ll be better on Xbox Series X....

Temporary characters = permanent chaos A new PC exploit may enable banned players to return toGTA Onlineanonymously. A modder on the forumse7ensins[currently offline] claims that Rockstar’s plans to reintroduce temporary characters into the game may be exploitable with new code scripting — an exploit similar to the troubles in last-genGTA Online, too. “you may create disposable characters, cheat cash and stats and troll other players as much as you’d like and it will not be saved or recorded – this means it’s basically a way to play anonymously,” said LondonTown2004 (viaVG24/7)....

Please don’t use Azumarill this time Pokemon Scarlet & Violethave brought its third 7-Star Tera Raid battle into the game, and with it comes a change of pace. The previousCharizardandCinderaceraids favored Pokemon who could tank Fire-Type hits like a champ, but many of these monsters won’t necessarily excel against Greninja. There is one returning champion, but we’ll get to that later. As has been tradition with the 7-Star Raids so far, you can only catch one Greninja while the event is live....
