Streamer and cosplayer MissMikkaa is known for her Elden Ring challenge runs, including beating Malenia with a dance pad, but her latest challenge has escalated things significantly. Recently, she's been playing two copies of Elden Ring at once, one with a dance pad, and one with a PS5 controller.
Needless to say, progress has been difficult, but MissMikkaa has managed to beat a few of the game's early dungeons with the simultaneous setup, including the Stonedigger Troll boss. However...
Forspoken does not make a great first impression. While at a preview event ahead of the game's release next month, I was able to play the upcoming action-RPG and the first few minutes filled me with trepidation. The dialogue was too cute by half, and the combat felt cumbersome. However, those early growing pains slowly subsided as I continued on until eventually, time slipped away without my notice. Despite a rocky start, Forspoken found its stride and showed real promise.
Those awkward...
Though you can technically use them to deal damage, most shields in Elden Ring are, well, meant for doing things shields tend to do, like blocking and parrying. In the case of the Coil Shield, though, there's a very special skill attached that can be a lot of fun for poison-based builds--and it looks cool to boot. If that sounds fun to you, read on to find out where you can pick it up.
The Coil Shield explained
The Coil Shield is a small shield that requires 10 Strength and 10 Dexterity to...

NPD's monthly report for November is here, which means we now know what games sold the best last month. Though the data doesn't have a lot of surprises, there's one name in the top 5 that might give you pause: Sonic Frontiers.
Yes, while everyone's favorite hedgehog hasn't starred in many acclaimed games lately, the "open-zone" Sonic Frontiers has sold a lot of copies, and it garnered a fairly positive critical reception, as well. However, number one is definitely no surprise--Call of Duty...

Thanks to better availability of the PlayStation 5, sales of consoles in the US during November jumped significantly. The NPD Group reported that hardware sales during November jumped by 45% to $1.3 billion during November.
This uptick in sales was attributed primarily to a "significant increase in PS5 volume" compared to November 2021, the NPD said. The PS5 was November 2022's best-selling console platform for unit and dollar sales, and the Switch was No. 2 during the month by both...
After being officially revealed at Star Wars Celebration earlier this year, the first gameplay trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor--the next Star Wars adventure from EA and Respawn Entertainment--aired during The Game Awards, with lead Jedi Cal Kestis taking center stage.
The trailer showed off some of the older Cal's new abilities, including a grappling hook for improved traversal and a new fighting stance that incorporates dual lightsabers for an extra edge. Multiple friends and foes...

While God of War Ragnarok took first place across the US, Canadian, and European PS5 charts, the latest Call of Duty was the most-downloaded PS4 game of November.
God of War Ragnarok's PS5 first-place finish is impressive--and has set a record as the fast-selling first-party PlayStation game--while Modern Warfare II's pole position...

The document states that Halo Infinite "was in production for [REDACTED] years, and cost almost [REDACTED]...
The Game Awards went pretty much without a hiccup until the very bizarre end. It appears that a random kid ended up on stage with the Elden Ring team and interrupted by mumbling something completely unrelated to the evening's proceedings into the mic. After The Game Awards ended, host Geoff Keighly confirmed that this individual has been arrested.
It's unclear what he exactly said, though Bill Clinton seemed to be mentioned, but it is clear that he was not part of the Elden Ring entourage...
For two years in a row, the loud and lovable Muppet Animal has graced The Game Award's stage to talk games and dish out awards alongside host Geoff Keighley. This year, however, Animal treated us not only to some of his signature pizzazz, but some of his takes on 2022's biggest games. Turns out, Animal is a big fan of Elden Ring, and when asked who his favorite boss in the game was, he was very enthusiastic to reveal his undying affection for the Goddess of Rot herself, Malenia.
While not...
