Black Desert Online celebrates 10 million users and wins MMORPG award

Black Desert Online SEA took home the Best MMORPG of the Year Award at the Thailand Game Show 2018 on October 27, 2018. The Thailand Game Awards is held every year to recognize outstanding game companies for quality content and service.

The recognition comes just 10 months after the launch of Black Desert Online SEA in Southeast Asia and Thailand, in large part due to its advanced customization system, expansive open world, action combat and some of the best game graphics available.

Pearl Abyss Head of Business Youngchul Ham had this to say, “On behalf of the Pearl Abyss team, I would like to thank the SEA Adventurers. We’ve come to learn and appreciate so much about Southeast Asia during our 10 months of service in the region. We look forward to continually adding more exciting game contents and growing with our Adventurers.”

Phantom Halls - Comedy horror Halloween Launch - PC

Phantom Halls is a side-scrolling squad-based comedy-horror title for PC. Players control a group of teens from the Occult Studies Club at a local high school, as they team up for their assignment but find themselves fighting to survive the night in a procedurally generated haunted mansion.

The teens will need to work as a team if they're going to make it out alive. Fortunately, Phantom Halls features both a single-player mode - in which players take control of the entire party, each character with their own independent action buttons and special skills - and drop-in/drop-out local co-op.

Sir Plump game is Live Now on Kickstarter on PC Mac

Sir Plump is a 2D action platformer game exploring the gripping world of the Middle Ages with detailed animations in the footsteps of Disney classics. This is the first major game of GAMELAB and a passion project for the whole team.

As teenagers of the 90’s, we all loved to play those Disney platform games like Aladdin and Lion King. They were easy to pick up, had charm, yet presented some old-school challenge even for the most avid platformer fans. We would like to re-create this experience with detailed 2D animations and a hand drawn Fairy Tale world with funny characters, epic boss fights and a lot of humour. For more information, please visit the Kickstarter Page!

Red Dead Redemption 2 how to find gold bars and make money fast - PS4 XO

Ways to get rich quick in Red Dead Redemption 2...

Play Campaigns - Campaign quests include robberies, claiming bandit camps and other worthwhile events can gain you serious money.
Red Dead Redemption 2 developers didn't want you engaging in tedious events for money. So by playing through campaigns, you'll earn most of the game's best weapons and other goodies without spending anything.

Find Three Gold Bars In the Money Cave - East of Adana Falls look in the rocks for a narrow cave you will barely fit into.
It's dark inside the cave, so either wait until daytime or take a lantern. In the centre of the large cave room (check map) you'll find a circle of roman statues (very strange) Look for the statue with a missing arm. the arm is on the floor close by. Place it on the statue, and press the buttons on each statue in this order:
Statue closest to the entrance - skip the next one to the right - press the button one the one after that - miss the next one - then press the next two in a row. Then the end the cave will start to shake and three gold bars will fall from the central statue. Sell the bars to a Fence (illegal traders) they are symbolised with a basket icon on the main map.

Red Dead Redemption 2 all cheat codes and how to use them... - PS4 XO

Here's a list of all the cheat codes for Red Dead Redemption 2 (so far).
I'll update as new ones are found.

How to access the cheat codes - hit the triangle or Y on the settings menu. Some of the cheat codes can be input straight away, others need to be found either in newspapers or elsewhere. Always buy a newspaper when you go into town and search it for a seemingly out-of-place phrase that don’t connect to stories. You can input them in the cheats menu however there's a warning that it will disable saving and achievements: fair is fair.

How long does Red Dead Redemption 2 Disc version take to install?

Just set up my PS4 Pro and started to install RDR2 - the disc version says it will take up to 3 hours to load... I know the game is big but WTH at least load a mini game to play while it's loading like the old days - right!.

Having waited this long for the game it's a bit much to have to wait so long for it to load. Well at least I'm not trying to download it from the code version!

To be fair the time is dropping but I still want to play the game... Grrrrrr.

Then there's the patch update another 37MB...

HITMAN 2 Update: Sean Bean Elusive Target screenshots Agent 47’s Iconic Briefcase Returns in New “How to Hitman” Video

The latest installment in the How to Hitman video series, entitled The Briefcase, was released today. Due to popular demand, the fan-favourite briefcase will make a triumphant return in HITMAN 2, allowing Agent 47 to conceal a wide range of items beyond a sniper rifle. The new and improved briefcase can now be utilised to render opposition unconscious through blunt force, distract potential eyewitnesses and through clever manipulation, it can be used to have oblivious adversaries import highly volatile or sensitive items into otherwise guarded areas.

The first in-game screenshots of actor Sean Bean’s upcoming Elusive Target character in HITMAN 2. Bean will take on the role of Mark Faba, a former MI5 agent turned freelance assassin who is notoriously known as “The Undying” due his reputation as a master of faking his own death. The first Elusive Target mission, entitled The Undying, is scheduled to release on 20th November, one week after HITMAN 2 launches on 13th November, and will run for a limited time.

Just Cause 4: 4K Panoramic trailer

Don't see the point of this - Who has a panoramic 4k monitor? On my 5K Mac and 4K TV it just shrinks the trailer down to fit the screen so you lose lots of detail that 4K creates!
