Breath Of The Wild meets Banjo-Kazooie golem adventure Tall Trails is just plain nice

If you don’t have anything else on this morning, perhaps you’d like to fill the life of a small clay golem up with purpose. I cannot be certain, but at present I believe that the easiest way to do this is with the demo for Tall Trails. It reminds me of playing old N64 3D platformers round my mate Liam’s house between watching VHS recordings of Keenan and Kel, which is a nice place to be. It’s also got Breath Of The Wild’s stamina wheel and freeform clamouring, although you don’t need to worry about that too much because you can stuff chilli peppers into your boot and use it like a jetpack.

PSA: Struggling With The Donkey Kong Bananza amiibo? Here’s How To Use It

Have a little patience.

If you’ve gotten your hands on the new Donkey Kong Bananza amiibo to go alongside the new Switch 2 release, then you might be wondering how to actually unlock the Diva Dress for Pauline.

A quick glance on Reddit will reveal that many are struggling to nab the dress, with some even going so far as to say that their amiibo might be broken. Well, don’t worry folks, it’s not. Y’see, tapping the amiibo to the Switch won’t immediately unlock the dress; you need to speak to a specific character in order to get it.

With Less Than a Year Until GTA 6, Rockstar Finally Launches GTA 5 and GTA Online in Saudi Arabia and UAE

As the world waits for Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar has finally released GTA 5 and GTA Online in both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Despite launching almost 12 years ago and selling 215 million copies elsewhere in the world, neither Saudi Arabia nor the UAE had previously cleared Rockstar’s 2013 blockbuster for sale — until this week.

Issues over the game’s age rating and local regulations banning games with violence, sex and drug use have long stood in the way of local fans playing GTA 5 legally — though as a Niko Partners report highlighted, some fans have previously got around restrictions by quietly importing boxed copies, or downloading the game via PlayStation or Xbox accounts linked to other regions.

Now, fans can simply buy a copy of GTA 5 legally, which has finally been released under the two countries’ new 21+ age rating. The launch of this higher age restriction, following the earlier introduction of localised age ratings in 2016, has helped smooth GTA 5’s belated path to release — alongside a bit of help from Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive to grease the wheels.

A recently-agreed partnership between Take-Two and a Saudi firm, the Advanced Initiative Company, will see the latter now act as the local distributor for all Take-Two titles, including GTA 5, WWE 2K, NBA 2K and Red Dead Redemption.

The countries, with a combined population of around 44 million, will presumably now also become a market in which Rockstar can sell GTA 6, when it finally arrives.

After more than a decade in development and a recent major delay, GTA 6 is currently set to launch on May 9, 2026, pending any further hold-ups.

Why Isn’t My Dead Spells Code Working?

If your code for Dead Spells isn’t working, it’s likely for one of two reasons:

  1. The code has been entered incorrectly
  2. The code has expired

If a code is not accepted in Dead Spells, it will say “code does not exist or is expired.” It doesn’t make it clear what the problem is, you’ll just know the code hasn’t worked. The good news is, if you use our article, we’ll move codes into expired when they stop working, so you can tell the difference. If a code is in the active and working list, however, be sure to copy and paste it exactly as you see it here. We test each of the codes before uploading them, and Roblox codes are often case-sensitive, so it’s important that it’s exact.

Why Isn’t My Flashpoint: Worlds Collide Code Working?

There are two main reasons why a code usually doesn’t work in any Roblox game and the same goes for this experience:

  • The code is expired
  • The code has been entered incorrectly

If a code has been entered incorrectly or has expired, you’ll see a message that says, “Not an active code!” To stop this from happening, we recommend copying and pasting the code directly from this article. We check and test each code before we add them to our article. However, when copying them, you can sometimes accidentally include an extra space somewhere. This is why you should always double-check that there aren’t any additional spaces!

Where to Find More Flashpoint: Worlds Collide Codes

We’ll update this article when new codes are added so you can always check back here and keep up-to-date with the latest codes. Flashpoint: Worlds Collide has its own dedicated Discord server where codes are announced, as well as game updates. Certain codes may require going to specific YouTuber channels to find them as well.

What is Flashpoint: Worlds Collide in Roblox?

Flashpoint: Worlds Collide is a Roblox experience that revolves around Flash from the DC Universe. Players can speed through the city as their own avatar or wear one of many outfits as they fight criminals and earn money doing it.

As you stop crimes, you’ll gain experience so you can upgrade your skills and become faster. Which you’ll need to do if you want to beat other players in races where speed is all that matters. Or you can put more of your skill points into stats like health and damage so you’re an even stronger crime fighter. Become the super hero that you want to be.

The Dark Queen Of Mortholme is a reverse Elden Ring where you play the final boss

FromSoftware’s RPGs have done much to explore the cycle of death and resurrection that games have historically taken for granted, but ask comparatively few questions on how the bosses feel about all this. What of the growing psychological weariness that comes from having to swat the same quixotic gnat over and over? What of the despair that grows from realising that, in the eternal battle between godly power and free resurrections 4 life, resurrections will always win out on a long enough timeline. Broken meta. Plz fix. My crumbling empire and poetically exposed eterna-hubris cannot take any more.

What I’m saying is, when people talk about Dark Souls being about “overcoming adversity”, they are lying to themselves. Dark Souls is about being a tiny little cheater running face first into a wall until your head is so used to the shape of the bricks that they simply have no effect on your fat, dumb skull. Dark Souls is about using an unfair advantage to torture gods who are much better than you at everything.

Nintendo Still Doesn’t Want You To Talk About The Switch Online Playtest Program

Good luck with that.

Nintendo has announced it will be running another Switch Online Playtest Program later this month, and in the fine print of the application, it’s once again asked participants to “not discuss or disclose content” about this test.

This request from Nintendo to not share content also extends to not revealing details from the participant website or talking about the experience with “others”. One exception to this rule is if you participate “as a group” in the playtest, you may communicate and exchange information as long as it’s “within the bounds of your group”.

Review: No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES (Switch 2) – Fun Cast, Weak Twists In This Satisfying Spin-Off

It’s a date.

No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES is the newest entry in Spike Chunsoft’s AI: Somnium Files series and is actually a spin-off of the first two games. As a ‘mid-quel’ between both stories, No Sleep for Kaname Date is a good companion piece for fans of the series but not so much for those unfamiliar. Its visual novel elements are bolstered by new gameplay mechanics that keep the game, and series, from becoming stale.

This entry also sees the return of our original protagonist, Kaname Date. This time around, his idol friend, Iris Sagan, is kidnapped by a UFO and she’s forced to play escape room games in order to stay alive, while Kaname works around the clock to uncover the dark secrets behind Iris’s abduction.

Humble Bundle Has All of the Borderlands Games for Only $16 Ahead of the Borderlands 4 Release Date

Humble Bundle has a psycho deal for Borderlands fans. Until next Friday, July 25, you can grab every Borderlands game, as well as Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, for just $16. If you’re unfamiliar with how Humble Bundle works, the more you pay, the more you get. So while $16 gets you all eight games, you can choose to pay less to get only some of the games on the list. Conversely, if you pay more than $16, not only do you get all of the games, but you also contribute to charity and video game publishers.

Borderlands x Wonderlands Collection at Humble Bundle

This bundle (a $279 value) includes all of the mainline Borderlands games, the VR version of Borderlands 2, the Telltale games, and more. The bundle is missing the iOS-exclusive Borderlands Legends real-time strategy game, but here’s everything that comes in the collection:

  • Borderlands
  • Borderlands 2
  • Borderlands 3
  • Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
  • Tales From the Borderlands
  • New Tales From the Borderlands
  • Borderlands 2 VR
  • Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands

And for an in-depth breakdown of how to play all of the Borderlands games in chronological order, we’ve got you covered. Since this deal is specific to PC gamers, It’s also worth noting that every game on this list is playable on the Steam Deck except for Borderlands 2 VR. As of right now, we haven’t gotten any confirmation that Borderlands 4 will be Steam Deck verified or even playable on the handheld, however.

Borderlands 4 has been generating a lot of buzz in 2025, but did you forget that a Borderlands movie actually came out last year? Well, good thing I’m here to remind you that IGN’s Matt Donato reviewed the big screen adaptation, giving it a three overall saying “Borderlands is a catastrophic disappointment that plays like hacked-to-pieces studio slop, betraying everything fans adore about Gearbox Software’s franchise in derivative, regrettable fashion.”

Here’s to hoping the next game brings the franchise back to it’s full potential when it releases in September later this year.

Borderlands 4 Is Available for Preorder Now

Once you’re caught up on the entire Borderlands saga, you can preorder Borderlands 4 before it drops September 12 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. It promises the same high-octane looting and shooting the core games are known for with some new twists and turns along the way. You can check out IGN’s Borderlands 4 preview for all of the little details we know about the game so far.

Humble Bundle is part of IGN Entertainment, the division of Ziff Davis that includes GamesIndustry.biz, IGN, and MapGenie.
