  15-09-2026 01:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  The best Marvel's Wolverine Techniques are real game changers that noticeably amp up Logan's killing power. The problem is that there are quite a lot to choose from and, while you can unlock every Technique in a single playthrough of Marvel's Wolverine, it's worth knowing which ones you should get as early as possible – from enhancing his leap attack and parry to brutal flying knee and passive healing abilities. Unlock the top Wolverine Techniques I've laid out below and you'll be on your

• Metal Gear Solid 5 modders are bringing the open-world stealth game more in line with the PS1 classic in a crucial way

  15-09-2026 14:03 via gamesradar.com
  
  A new Metal Gear Solid 5 mod has been released which aims to bring back the feeling of the series' classic games by allowing you to go in with nothing. Metal Gear Solid changed pretty drastically with its final entries. Metal Gear Solid 4 sowed the seeds with the Drebin shop, but Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and 5 took the series in a different direction. The original MSX2 games and Solid trilogy had you infiltrating enemy bases with only the clothes on your back (or very little supplies) and e

  Fable has been a long time coming, with its development spanning several waves of layoffs at publisher Xbox, as well as the cancellation of high-profile projects. But the RPG's director suggests that the RPG has been unscathed because it's viewed as "vital to the DNA of the platform."A new interview with The Guardian really puts into perspective how long Fable has been in the works, with production apparently starting as far back as 2016. We wouldn't see Playground Games' reveal trailer until 20

• How to beat the Marvel's Wolverine Omega Red boss fight

  15-09-2026 13:16 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Wolverine Omega Red fight is a tricky battle after facing relatively weak Trask soldiers and Reavers, but once you understand how it works, it should become much easier. Unlike the regular enemies you've been fighting in Marvel's Wolverine until this point, Omega Red can't be bombarded with erratic attacks, and you need to take a much more reactive approach to combat, with parrying and dodging being critical to success. But there's more to bear in mind, so I've laid out some tips for beating

  It's nothing new for heroes and villains to switch sides. Venom started out as a real pain. Sinestro was the greatest Green Lantern of them all, until he wasn't. Perhaps one of the most forgotten heel turns in comic book history, however, involves billionaire bad guy Maxwell Lord, who has now been played by two different stars on the big screen – Pedro Pascal in Wonder Woman 1984 and Sean Gunn in Superman. In a recent online exchange with a fan, James Gunn – the co-head of DC Studios
