Forget fighting Night Lords; picking which of the Elden Ring Nightreign classes to try on launch is going to be the real ordeal. Do you go basic and play Wylder with his grappling hook and stake driver? Do you jump right in the deep end with Recluse and her endlessly combinable magics? Or do you…
Hands off! A new video posted to the Nintendo Today! app reveals the the upcoming Switch 2 can be completely locked with a PIN. In a similar manner to smart phones and tablets, you can apply a PIN to prevent others from waking the console from sleep mode and playing without your permission. It’s not…
