Elden Ring: Where to get your first lantern so you never need a torch again

The lantern in Elden Ring lets you ditch the torch and frees up your hand for another weapon or a shield. Elden Ring is the first FromSoftware game to have a day-and-night cycle, and if you spend long enough in the open world, you’ll see the day transition to noon, and later to night. In some parts of the world, things could get really dark. This is even more true of the game's caves and dungeons, many of which have no light source – perfect for ambushes.

Black Ops Cold War suppressors returned to their former glory in Warzone

The Warzone update promised last week has arrived. Raven has released a new patch for Call of Duty: Warzone. This is the update the studio discussed last week. Though the change log is small, the patch brings a big change to Black Ops Cold War weapons.

Prey VR listing pops up and quickly disappears off retailer's website

Are we getting a VR version of Prey? Earlier today, a listing for a PlayStation VR version of Prey VR popped up on UK retailer Shopto's website. It has since been removed, but not before everyone saw it. When it was available, the listing didn't have any information, or even a cover a art; just a blank page with the Prey VR name on it. Prey VR is, of course, not a game that's been officially announced, but it seems very plausible.

Resident Evil 3 Remake with facial animations cranked up 500% is exactly what we need to get us through 2020

My Resident Evil nightmares aren't fueled by zombies, they're sustained by the mental image of Carlos' cheek muscles flailing in the wind until they break through his own face. But perhaps, in a time of turmoil like the one we are currently living through, this is exactly what we need.
