Arrakis might be a lawless desert where you can stake a claim wherever you please, but you’ll still need to pay taxes in Dune: Awakening. No, it’s not fair, as it’s not like there’s even any public services on Arrakis, just bandits, shipwrecks, political tension, and lots of sand. But pay you must, or the…
There were an awful lot of games revealed across a plethora of Summer Game Fest showcases over the past weekend-plus, some big, some small, and none more immediately intriguing, for me at least, than one revealed at the Women Led Games Showcase on June 8. It’s called Drywall Eating Simulator, and as far as I…
Last week, I got the chance to speak to Chris Bergey, Senior VP and General Manager for the Client side of Arm Holdings, and after picking his brain about Windows on Arm for PC gaming, I’m carefully optimistic about the future. Emphasis on carefully, though, because the proof will ultimately be in the pudding (or…
Henry Cavill has, for the past few years, been ramping up to work on a Warhammer 40k series with Amazon after departing his role as The Witcher’s Geralt in the Netflix series. A move which caused no end of upset, given his enduring love for the source material—and, let’s be honest, pretty solid Doug Cockle…
Xbox has just announced plans for two new handheld devices, launching by the end of the year. The ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X look a lot like you’d expect an Xbox handheld to look like: Xbox controls, branding everywhere, and a new handheld Xbox UI. “This is an Xbox”, proclaims Microsoft’s Sarah…

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that worms shouldn’t have teeth, but you’ll need to track one down in Dune: Awakening no matter how upsetting that idea is. The worm tooth is a key material for crafting the Unfixed Crysknife, a powerful melee weapon you’ll unlock by completing the fourth of…
One of your first challenges in Dune: Awakening is working out how to get water in the dry deserts of Arrakis. Not only is water vital to keep your character hydrated (and living), but it’s also used in various crafting processes, such as making iron ingots early on. As you progress between each area, biome…
Once you start unlocking various fabricators, blood purifiers, and other handy facilities in Dune: Awakening, you’ll quickly max out your base’s power. When your humble fuel cell generator just can’t cut it, your entire base will power down and you won’t be able to use any of your facilities. So, you’ll need to increase circuit…

However, spice sand is much more complicated as it requires a specific tool to harvest and is easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Sending you out into the worm-infested dunes, spice…
