Surgeon Simulator 2 is getting even weirder with new co-op gameplay and a suite of options for custom levels. It's also not far from launch either, with Bossa Studios announcing an August 27 release date for their trauma center sequel.Surgeon Simulator 2 expands on the original game's scope by opening the operating room doors and letting you interact with other wings of the hospital. New challenges will require you to ferry objects between rooms, now with the help of up to three friends in increasingly complex operations. It has retained its wacky humor and charm too, spreading to the entirety of the ER.The game's latest trailer doesn't focus on campaign content, but rather user-created modes that you'll be able to play alongside it. Surgeon Simulator 2 will include the same level-design tools that Bossa uses internally, letting you create and share new challenges for like-minded surgeons to undertake. The suite looks extensive in the footage above, letting you craft experiences well beyond the premise of Surgeon Simulator.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Ghost of Tsushima has a variety of useful armor sets that help make you a formidable foe against the Mongol invasion. Most of them have their own special perks that enhance your abilities in various ways. For instance, some armor sets better cater to stealthy players, while others strengthen offensive power--though the minutiae of such gets deeper with each set. Regardless, you acquire several of the armor sets by completing story missions, but there are others that you can only get by completing special side-missions known as Mythic Tales, which unlock at different points in the game.Table of Contents [hide]Broken ArmorTo help you find and understand all of Ghost of Tsushima's armor sets, we've compiled the guide below, which details how to get them, their perks, and what they look like when upgraded. We've got plenty more guides and coverage to help you get everything out of the game. Check out our full Ghost of Tsushima guide rundown, and if you haven't already, read our Ghost of Tsushima review.Broken ArmorYou start the game with the Broken Armor set--though it isn't quite broken until after you've cleared the prologue section. It has no particular perks or advantages, so it's really just a cosmetic set you keep just for the heck of it. You definitely don't want to wear this any longer than you have to after the game's world opens up, so quickly discard it and wear a better set as soon as you get one. Still, it does have memories attached--the death of your old ways and the beginning of your path towards becoming a dishonorable proto-ninja. Good times.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A new note from the Pokemon Masters team was the kind of thing that usually raises alarms among mobile game fans, but this one had a secret weapon: Steven, in a swimsuit.The message from the Pokemon Masters team detailed a number of upcoming changes including a Champion Stadium, revised Training area, and Type Skills that let Pokemon of the same type work together. Among those changes was word of a trial launch of a stamina system, with a note that the team will be looking at feedback.Ordinarily, stamina is one of the most divisive mechanics in mobile games. It usually restricts you from playing beyond a certain point in a set amount of time unless you pay to unlock more stamina, and as a result it's often seen as a predatory microtransaction. Plenty of mobile games have issued updates to remove stamina due to player feedback, not add it a year after launch. Judging by the Pokemon Masters subreddit, though, fans seem fine--or at least cautiously optimistic--about the impending revision.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Metacritic will now delay user reviews for games for 36 hours after release, the company announced. This comes a few weeks after the release of The Last of Us Part II, which was review bombed on Metacritic (which, like GameSpot, is owned by ViacomCBS)."We recently implemented the 36 hour waiting period for all user reviews in our games section to ensure our gamers have time to play these games before writing their reviews," a Metacritic spokesperson said. "This new waiting period for user reviews has been rolled out across Metacritic's Games section and was based on data-driven research and with the input of critics and industry experts."Metacritic said that the decision was not based on users' reaction to any game in particular. Metacritic is a review aggregate site that provides two scores for every game, one based on critics and one based on user reviews.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

If you're looking to get into PC gaming or improve your gaming setup, the most important factor is arguably your desk. You can have a flashy PC with powerful specs, a 4K monitor, and the best gaming headset or mouse, but if you don't have the right space to bring it all together, you'll be left feeling disappointed with the entire setup.What to look for in a gaming deskThe best gaming desks offer you plenty of space for all your tech and devices: from monitor and keyboard to mouse, speakers, headset stand, and any other peripherals you want to have on hand. We're talking about tech you've probably spent thousands of dollars on altogether, so you want to make sure your gaming desk is sturdy enough to support heavy equipment. It's important to consider the desk's frame and what material it's made of--can the legs support potentially hundreds of pounds of weight? If you're buying a standard office desk rather than a dedicated gaming desk, keep an eye out for ones with adjustable foot pads that will ensure the desk is stable. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you'll want to keep comfort in mind, making sure there's enough room under the desk for your knees and legs. An adjustable desk that can be raised or lowered is great for ensuring your desk is at the proper ergonomic height.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Madden 21 will not include the Washington Redskins' name and logo, according to Kotaku. Instead, the game will feature the generically named Washington team until a new team and logo are announced by the NFL.This change is being made to the game at the last minute, as the Washington-based football team only dropped the Redskins name recently.

"We are quickly working to update Madden NFL 21 to feature a generic Washington team, while we await final word on the updated team name and logo design."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Ghost of Tsushima is a pretty forgiving game in terms of Trophies, all things considered. Despite there being a ton of collectibles, most Trophies don't require you to find all of them--only the most important ones that usually have a direct impact on gameplay. There are a few hidden Trophies that require you to explore the game a little more, but they're usually not too tough to figure out. And then there's the game's toughest challenge: the Cooper Clan Cosplayer Trophy.This hidden Trophy gives you very little to go on if you check it in the Ghost of Tsushima Trophy list. It suggests you need to "dress up as a legendary thief." The name of the Trophy and its description are references to Sucker Punch's Sly Cooper franchise, in which players take on the role of a heist-pulling raccoon--but figuring out exactly what you need Jin to wear in order to conjure up Sly Cooper's classic yellow-and-blue costume can be tough.Luckily, we've found literally everything in Ghost of Tsushima: every piece of armor, every piece of vanity gear, and every sword kit. We've hit 100% completion in the game and even unlocked the Platinum Trophy, and we figured out how to earn the Cooper Clan Cosplayer Trophy. Here's exactly what you need to wear to unlock it and how to find all the pieces.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Warning! Information about one of these hidden Trophies is a spoiler for a story beat toward the end of Act 2 of Ghost of Tsushima's main quest line. We've left it at the bottom of this list and blocked out key info to help you remain unspoiled, but we recommend you proceed with caution if you don't want to know anything about what might happen.You'll earn a whole bunch of Trophies as you explore the world of Ghost of Tsushima, and if you're the kind of completionist who likes to unlock everything, you'll find plenty to seek out in the game. But in addition to Trophies unlocked for completing story missions and discovering locations that upgrade your abilities, there are also several tougher-to-get hidden Trophies that require extra effort.Ghost of Tsushima's hidden Trophies can be tough to find and unlock--some of them are the hardest to get in the game. The good news is, we've unlocked them all and earned the coveted Platinum Trophy in Ghost of Tsushima, and solved every puzzle along the way. Here's a rundown of every hidden Trophy in the game and what it takes to unlock them.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In Ghost of Tsushima, protagonist Jin's actions will actually influence the weather--and we don't mean when he plays his flute, which does allow you to switch between sunny, foggy, rainy, and storms. No, how you choose to fight the Mongols will change the weather as well.In an interview with Ghost of Tsushima narrative director Nate Fox, he told me, "The game is definitely scripted to provide more storms as you do things which are extremely Ghost driven."It's a rather clever feature. Jin is an unrelenting force of nature in Ghost of Tsushima, abandoning his identity to embrace the symbolic power of the Ghost in order to defeat the Mongols via means that lack honor. At the start of the game, you'll likely defeat most enemies with the tools of the samurai as they'll be all you have access to. But as encounters increase in difficulty and you unlock new Ghost skills, the game naturally encourages you to adopt a more stealth-focused approach.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
