Heardle is a music game inspired by Wordle - where instead of guessing a word, you hear the opening of a song, with each failed guess extending the preview to help you solve the title and artist in question. If you fail to guess once you have heard the complete preview, then you’ll break your streak - which is why discovering today’s Heardle answer is so important for players, especially as some song intros are more elusive than others....

As comprehensive and complete as I’d like this list to be, unfortunately, many of the Animal Crossing amiibo are very limited - or completely out of stock in some cases. Amiibo restocks do happen from time-to-time, though. And with the increased popularity they’ll be seeing with New Horizons out later this month you’d be surprised if Nintendo doesn’t plan to capitalise on that. If you can’t see what you want here at this very moment, do check out our frequently updated page featuring all the Animal Crossing amiibo available to buy at Jelly Deals....

Sharing some gameplay on reddit, DanTheBloke (via exputer) explained that the latest update to Proton GE has allowed them to get online play for Halo Infinite working on their Steam Deck through the beta SteamOS. DanTheBloke does say gameplay “can be a little janky” and there is “some clipping audio at times”. Regardless though, it is definitely still playable, as you can see for yourself below. Along with this small snippet of gameplay, DanTheBloke also shared a breakdown of how to get Halo Infinite running on your own Steam Deck in the post’s comments....

That’s a question answered by YouTube creator ZeoNyph, who’s produced a short video of a demake done using Blender software. It’s a fun video homage, with all the hallmarks of a PS1 game. There’s that classic Sony logo intro, the blurry 320x240 resolution, and crackly sound effects. And then there’s the gameplay, clearly inspired by Tomb Raider. We see Aloy running through the wilds, climbing up a ledge, and then swiftly dying against a machine....

In a rare twist on the Game of the Week formula here’s a take on a high profile game that actually did come out this week - and to quite some reception, too. The reaction to High on Life has been mixed, it’s fair to say, and it’s certainly been vociferous - Edwin’s spirited takedown of Squanch Games’ noisy shooter has been one of our most popular reviews of the year, which goes to show you all love to see a proper shoeing....

Even just loading up the game, there are some immediately apparent differences. When the game first released, booting the title at 4K resolution saw Horizon actually internally render at the correct resolution, before downscaling to 1080p, then upscaling back up to 2160p - this is now fixed. The initial shader compilation that took so long back in the day is now carried out in the background, allowing you to visit the settings screen while it’s in progress or even start the game (I would recommend letting the shader caching process complete, however)....

Time-based evolution is one of several Special Evolution methods found in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, dating back to almost the beginning of the franchise. Here’s where to find a Rockruff if you haven’t caught one already, and then how to evolve it into Lycanrock in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. On this page: If you’d like to learn more about your Paldea adventure, visit our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet walkthrough....

Perhaps you’ve been putting all Runes into a Strength build only to come across a powerful weapon that needs Faith? Or perhaps you’re discovering loads of cool spells and incantations that you’re intrigued to use? Though you might be tempted to start over, the good news is that it’s actually possible to respec through a process called Rebirth. While this option isn’t available in the early stages of the game, once it’s unlocked, you can start reassigning stats....

This isn’t a new setting, but it can be easily overlooked if you weren’t aware of it beforehand. Considering the game remains ever changing with new seasonal updates, there is never a bad chance to put this option to test and see if you fancy it. If you would like to stop holding down the interact button and instead tap to pick up items, this guide will cover how Contextual Tap works in Warzone and how Prioritize Interact works in Black Ops: Cold War, along with the steps to activate both....

In addressing the filming challenges of DF Direct Weekly, we ended up creating environments that would hold up not just for the Direct but for interview and DF retro content too. Ultimately, it’s all about integrating mirrorless cameras instead of webcams, while tapping into some of the best streaming hardware available. We think that some of the lessons here could be useful shortcuts for anyone that’s looking to create a modern, clutter-free way of streaming or recording videos - so this is a breakdown of exactly how our final setup works, from audio and video to lights, capture and controls....

The headset includes a full colour RGB camera for passthrough, plus hand-tracking, meaning players can experience real-time overlays and more interactivity between the device and their real world environment. The versatile, lightweight device can be used wirelessly or connected to a PC for PCVR games from Viveport and Steam. Watch on YouTube VIVE XR Elite - Thrills and Wonders Where Realities Meet The XR Elite offers a wide 110 FOV, 4K resolution and 90Hz refresh rate....

Say “ideology” too much and you start sounding like Slavoj Žižek stuck on a loop, so I’ll move on. The point is in Humankind, the new, Civilization-style historical grand strategy from Endless Legend and Space developer Amplitude, capital-I ideology is handled smartly in a kind of consequential, sliding scale system, and the considered little-I ideology of the developer is regularly felt. Amplitude has wanted to make a game like this since the day it was founded, I’m told, and a desire to do things right, whatever right may be, is front and centre....

In terms of speed, this Samsung card has an A2 rating, which means you should be able to play games off it directly with relatively solid performance. The requirements needed for a card to garner an A2 rating are a sustained sequential write speed of 10MB/s, as well as 2K IOPS random writes and 4K IOPS random reads. This specific Samsung card is rated for up to 130MB/s reads, which means it should be suitable for use in handheld consoles such as the Switch or Steam Deck, or for transferring sizeable video files, such as those at 4K/30 for use with a drone, action camera or mirrorless camera....

The bundle is in direct response to the overturning of Roe v Wade, key US legislation that grants individuals the right to an abortion. The bundle contains over 750 games from over 600 creators available for a minimum donation of $10. Estimated value is over $3k. Watch on YouTube Eurogamer Newscast: What can Sony do to improve PlayStation Plus Premium? “100 percent of the proceeds from this bundle will go to the National Network for Abortion Fund’s Collective Power Fund, which moves money directly to abortion funds across 20+ US states, with a particular focus on the South and Midwest (where it is often most difficult to get access to abortions),” reads the bundle page....

Yesterday, we got to see Ben Stiller leading a group therapy session with John Travolta, LeBron James and their children, and today we get to witness Japan’s newest Ragnarök trailer. This trailer is an upbeat little number complete with its own (quite catchy) song and dance routine. The parent in me likens it to Australian children’s music group The Wiggles, but with weapons added in to give it that bit extra....

These four encounters - also known as Mysterious Creatures - are stronger versions of monsters you find around the galaxy, who have more health and deal more damage than their common counterparts. You can recognise that you’re fighting a Legendary Beast as opposed to a normal one when a boss health bar appears at the top of the screen. And, unlike other boss fights, you can always run away from a fight with these beasts and come back later....

Nintendo made the announcement during today’s final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character confirmation - which was Sora, the main star of the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix, Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and Kingdom Hearts 3 + Re Mind will all arrive via the cloud at a later date (yet to be announced). A collection of the three - dubbed the Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece - will also be available to pick up the entire trilogy in one go....

Konami said it had signed a long-term deal with Atalanta, who finished the season in third place, and it starts with PES 2022. The announcement trailer is below: Konami is going hard on Serie A, and has signed similar deals for Roma, Napoli, and most significant of all, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus, which forced rival EA Sports to come up with a fake name for the Old Lady in FIFA 20....

The full game will launch on PC on 6th December. It’s been developed by PixelCount Studios, comprising veterans of the Fable series, and chaired by Games Workshop founder Sir Ian Livingstone. Watch on YouTube Kynseed - Release Date Reveal The game is a life sim, including staples of the genre: farming, raising a family, running a business, and exploring a vast world full of secrets. When the player character dies, control passes on to their children for an inter-generational story....

Plenty of bugs and exploits have already been found, whether it’s creating body horror or duplicating shiny Pokémon, but this is on a different level. In the game, you’re supposed to only have one of the legendaries, whether that’s Koraidon or Miraidon, but now you can fill up your boxes with them. These new-found glitches have been widely discussed in the Pokémon community, and they’re not that difficult to pull off....
