Pokemon Legends: Z-A has received generally positive reviews from critics, earning an average score of 83 on OpenCritic. However, players haven’t been as kind. Since the game launched, it’s been targeted with negative reviews, largely due to concerns about its graphics and the absence of spoken dialogue. Some players have also discovered ways to quickly gain experience, potentially ruining the game’s balance.
On October 23rd, Pokemon TCG Pocket announced more information about the new Mega Rising expansion. This expansion will be a significant one, introducing Mega Evolved Pokemon to the game for the first time and featuring a large number of cards. It’s the second expansion since A1 Genetic Apex, and DeNA has also shared other exciting updates for fans.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A features many Pokémon that evolve in unusual ways, not just by leveling up. Sliggoo is particularly interesting because it needs specific natural conditions to evolve.
The Personal Calendar is a new feature coming to Steam as part of the Steam Labs program. It’s designed to help players discover games they’ll love by showcasing both new releases and upcoming titles, all tailored to their individual interests. Because it’s a Steam Labs experiment, the company will be collecting feedback to improve the feature over time.
The $230 million security breach (which, let’s be honest, is enough to make even the most stoic CFO weep into their spreadsheet) effectively turned India’s oldest crypto exchange into a digital ghost town. 👻 But fear not, dear traders, for the phoenix has risen from the ashes, or at least, it’s trying to. WazirX co-founder Nischal Shetty (who probably hasn’t slept in 16 months) confirmed that trading will resume on October 24. Tokens will be enabled over four days, because even crypto needs a warm-up before the marathon. 🏃♂️ By October 27, it’ll be business as usual-or as usual as crypto ever gets. Shetty, in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter, because why not add more confusion?), said:
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition is a new package that includes the popular expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, plus extra items like new outfits for your spectral steed, Torrent, and different ways to begin the game with unique character setups. It will be released on all gaming platforms.
From the start, Nintendo emphasized that they were strongly prioritizing support from third-party game developers for the new Nintendo Switch 2. A major announcement at the reveal event was that Elden Ring, a critically acclaimed game from recent years, would be coming to the system.
It’s been eight years since Nintendo first announced Metroid Prime 4 on June 13th. The game’s development has seen a lot of changes – it originally started with Bandai Namco before Nintendo restarted it with Retro Studios in 2019. Last September, Nintendo finally set a release date of December 4, 2025. However, despite the announcement, they haven’t launched a major marketing campaign for the game yet, which surprised some fans.
Xbox has been going through a period of significant change, with some successes and some setbacks. Mike Ybarra, formerly of Blizzard, publicly disagreed with Microsoft’s approach of releasing Xbox games without exclusive titles, while Microsoft has also benefited financially from putting those same games on PlayStation. Recent decisions like price increases, job cuts, and the use of AI have caused friction with fans, but Microsoft insists it remains dedicated to making gaming accessible to everyone.
