EA Sports has announced that it will begin testing cross-platform multiplayer in FIFA 22 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Google Stadia. No exact date beyond “the near future” has been given by EA, but the publisher did confirm that the testing will cover matches in the Online Seasons and Online Friendlies mode of the soccer game.

“While we want to enable our players to play with as many friends and others as possible, we limited the test to these two modes with the aim of reducing the chance for introducing new issues into the game,” EA Vancouver’s Goran Popovic said in an FAQ. “We are confident that the game data and feedback that we get from these two modes will help inform how cross-play could further be implemented in future titles.”

Agents of Mayhem isn’t subtle. The single-player action-adventure game from Saints Row developer Volition is all about being larger than life, with intense superhero-versus-supervillain combat and raunchy protagonists who drop F-bombs as much as they drop real bombs. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t offer much more than a “to the extreme” attitude, which wears out its welcome in record time thanks to incessantly recycled missions, numerous bugs, and a juvenile script that mistakes swearing for humor.

You take on the role of the titular Agents of MAYHEM (Multinational Agency for Hunting Evil Masterminds), a group of future superheroes that look and feel like the R-rated offspring of a union between the ’80s G.I. Joe cartoon and the Agents of SHIELD TV show. The a…

Much of Ghost of Tsushima’s content is typically marked explicitly on the map. Things like quests, side quests, and activities are mainly laid out for you. However, in the game’s Iki Island expansion, there’s a handful of secret quests called Unwritten Tales you can find that aren’t highlighted on your map. These unique side quests aren’t essential to complete, but they feed into acquiring the game’s Common Courtesy trophy. Below, we detail how to find and complete the Unwritten Tale centered around saving a beekeeper. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

The greatest compliment one can pay to Weird West is that it does, by and large, capture the feeling of playing one of the pulpy EC Comics and Two-Fisted Tales that inspired so many supernatural Westerns in the past. From its beautiful two-color art style and creepy morality fables to its omnipresent leathery-sounding narrator, Weird West is a fully realized grungy dimestore cowboy fantasy brought to vivid life. The game you actually have to play to make progress in it isn’t as resounding a success, however.

Weird West wastes no time knocking you off-kilter. The second you hit the New Game option, you, an unnamed hooded figure, are strapped to a chair while other hooded figures brand your neck with an arcane symbol and shove you into the body of one Jane Bell, …

Nintendo and Bandai Namco have released a new battle royale-style Pac-Man game for Switch called Pac-Man 99. Much like Tetris 99, the title is available as a free download exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, with offline modes offered as optional paid DLC. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

As with the aforementioned Tetris 99, Pac-Man 99 is a 99-player take on the classic arcade game. Each player will vie to be the last Pac-Man remaining as they navigate a maze and avoid the pursuing ghosts. Any ghosts that you defeat will be sent to other players’ screens as a “Jammer Pac-Man.” Bumping into one of these will reduce the player’s movement speed, making them more vulnerable.
