  Salé (Morocco) (AFP) - The mother of a Danish student beheaded along with another Scandinavian woman while hiking in Morocco's High Atlas mountains called Thursday for the suspected jihadist killers to face the death penalty as their trial neared its end."The most just thing would be to give these beasts the death penalty they deserve, I ask that of you," said Helle Petersen in a letter read by her lawyer in an anti-terrorist court in Sale, near the capital Rabat."My life was destroyed th

• Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen impresses more than the original RPG's DLC as per Metacritic score

  08-10-2026 16:22 via gamesradar.com
  
  Dragon's Dogma 2 is back in the limelight now after its 2024 launch thanks to its Dark Arisen DLC, which lands tomorrow – and is apparently superior to its 2013 predecessor.A whopping 13 years ago now, the original Dragon's Dogma RPG from Capcom got its own Dark Arisen expansion, and admittedly, I loved it. Everything from the Bitterblack Isle to the formidable foes the DLC boasted had me in a chokehold – and this week, the new Dragon's Dogma 2 Dark Arisen content threatens to do the

As part of this, the company is also branching out further into the world of theme parks, though that may not be very surprising or exciting.Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet said in a post that "theme parks" will be part of the new XP division.

  Celeste's Sizing Thing Up quest in Arc Raiders will have you travelling to Pendola Pass to check out a fallen Emperor and, specifically, his legs.

So, avoid too much pain by taking all my pointers for the locations you need to hit and ticking it all off.

• Lego Pokemon blind boxes are apparently on the way, and I desperately hope they're real

  08-10-2026 15:52 via gamesradar.com
  
  A Lego Pokemon blind box series just leaked, and to be perfectly honest, I feel as though Lego is very specifically targeting my bank account here.Reported by longtime leaker @got.cooped on Instagram, these Lego Pokemon blind boxes will apparently be like the Super Mario buildable figure range. These provide a random character or enemy from the Nintendo series with a mini-diorama that you build, and they tend to start from around $10 at Amazon. According to this leak, the Pokemon equivalent will

I like to spend this month re-watching my favorite horror flicks, and the original Ring is always on the must-watch list.

• NBA 2K27 Tops Madden NFL 27 In August, Shocking Absolutely Nobody

  08-10-2026 15:14 via gamespot.com
  
  Circana has posted its August 2026 monthly report, and unsurprisingly, NBA 2K27 is once again the best-selling game for the month. That's hardly a shocker, as it was the best-selling August game in 2024 and 2025, ending a long winning streak previously held by EA's Madden NFL series of football games. While it didn't clinch the top spot, Madden NFL 27 came in second and fourth place, as the game's Kickoff Bundle version also appeared on the charts.Overall, it was a solid month for new games.

• How to solve the Private Rooms door sex positions puzzle in Hellraiser Revival

  08-10-2026 14:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Hellraiser Revival Private Rooms door block puzzle is probably the raunchiest head-scratcher Aiden Lynch comes across in. This puzzle is found at the end of the club foyer during the ‘Hunt Marlowe’ objective, not far from the Hellraiser Revival Voyeur Room door puzzle. However, like the Hellraiser Revival Leviathan statuette puzzle earlier in the game, you cannot solve it as soon as you find it. Instead, you first need to find the embossed block that fits the door.

You must find the Peephole Inset and solve a perplexing (and rather saucy) diamond-shaped puzzle to open the door and access the main chamber.

  Solving the Hellraiser Revival Leviathan statuette puzzle is one of the first head-scratchers in the game, testing you with a gold, diamond-shaped ornament with a labyrinth design which is missing its tip. Your instinct may be to hunt high and low for the missing piece in the red hallway that the statuette is in, but you can't solve this Hellraiser Revival puzzle right away – though you can find one of the Hellraiser Revival codes for the red hallway’s locked cupboard nearbyInstead,

• Hellraiser Revival codes for all the cupboard, lockers and keypads

  08-10-2026 14:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Throughout Clive Barker’s Hellraiser Revival, Aidan Lynch finds cupboards, doors, safes, and lockers that require a four-digit keypad code to unlock, which you can decipher through environmental clues. Behind each locked door are vital (and often scarce) resources, including ammo, weapon upgrades, melee weapons, crafting materials, and health items. In addition, if you open five of these keypad locks, you're awarded the Codebreaker trophy.
  However, figuring out these keypad codes can be ch

• Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival review: "Pinhead's return is glorious – a true love letter to the original movies"

  Early on in Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, as I try to escape a torture dungeon full of mangled victims with only a plank of wood for protection, a huge man in tough leather stomps towards me, calling me "vanilla" as he shrugs off my hits. In a way, he's not wrong. While the violent adventure protagonist Aiden Lynch is thrust into is filled with extreme gore and upsetting imagery, its core combat is fairly basic. Enemies take hits until eventually keeling over on the spot, and guns I pick u

  Let's get the obvious out of the way: Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is a grotesque game. It puts sex and extreme depictions of human mutilation front-and-center in its first-person perspective, and asks you to face it–even stick your hand in it. It's uncompromising in bringing Clive Barker's vision to a level of fidelity that not even the movies could dream of matching. It looks incredible.While salacious in its nature, it can be easy–even forgiving–to fixate on Hellraiser

  In Hellraiser Revival, the Genesis Configuration is as essential to gameplay as it is to the story, granting Aidan Lynch supernatural powers to combat the violent cultists and Unworthy. But the Cenobite’s otherworldly puzzle box also has another purpose: it acts as the key to supernatural locks. On a handful of occasions, you’re presented with a slot that the Genesis Configuration must be adjusted to fit in order to progress the story. These puzzles require you to tweak each half of

• How to use Amazon Luna to play Star Wars Galactic Racer

  08-10-2026 13:47 via gamesradar.com
  
  Playing Star Wars Galactic Racer via Amazon Luna is very simple, but requires you to already have a Prime membership. Complicating matters further is that this title is only available on Luna as a streaming game using its cloud gaming services, and those are only available in certain countries, mostly in North America and Europe. But, if you meet all the requirements, it's a good way to try out Galactic Racer, effectively for free as part of your existing Prime subscription. Here's how it all wo

  I miss it when movie or book tie-in games looked at the canon and said, “Nah.” Sometimes, taking something respected, well-known, and so beloved and deciding to completely demolish everything that had existed in favour of making something wholly original and unique is my cup of orc bone tea. Shadow of War is a canon-breaking beast of an action RPG that, years later, I still play regularly. And right now, you can get the game and all of its DLC for under $5. Sauron won’t know wh

• Next Gears of War game won't "take nearly as long," The Coalition boss promises after 7 year gap

  After the seven year wait between Gears 5 and Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition studio head Mike Crump says we won't be waiting quite as long for what's next. Gears of War: E-Day is finally out after being announced back in June 2024, and by extension has ended the series longest hiatus. Gears 5 was released all the way back in 2019, following a three year wait between it and Gears 4 – which in turn only took three years to release after the launch of Gears of War Judgement.

• Unity CEO launching an AI you can use to reproduce games says doing so "does not make you Kojima"

  08-10-2026 13:03 via gamesradar.com
  
  There's a new wrinkle in generative AI-assisted game development with Unity Spark, a tool specifically designed to make such practices easier. The idea is, if you have a notion about a game, you can bring up the chatbot, throw in a prompt, and it can help build a working prototype. But Unity wants to be clear - this isn't about producing games in the blink of an eye, and using it like that doesn't suddenly make you a clever dev.That's what Unity CEO Matt Bromberg told Game File, anyway, in his e
