It continues to vex me that ‘Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?’ doesn’t properly scan if you replace ‘Carmen Sandiego’ with ‘Xur’ (if you have any ideas on how to make it work, please let me know), but ah well. Destiny 2’s merchant with the most is back this weekend, and this time he’s hiding out on Io. To find him head to the Giant’s Scar fast travel point and go northwards....

Ever since unveiling Destiny 2 earlier this year, Bungie and Activision have been rather frank about their plans for the franchise going forward, with a ‘greater emphasis on story’ and more content. Up until now not much has been said about the game’s raids, but Destiny 2 director Luke Smith has broken the silence.

Destiny 2’s Touch of Malice is a classic Exotic that has made its return to Destiny 2. It’s a one-of-a-kind scout rifle, powered by the dark power of Oryx, the Taken King, himself. It can output incredible damage per second, but at a steep cost to the wielder. The final round in the chamber will regenerate instantly, but steals health from its wielder every time it does so. Touch of Malice, or ToM to Destiny aficionados, returned during Destiny 2’s Season of Plunder alongside the restored King’s Fall raid....

As the Pokemon games get bigger, it feels like they should offer more save slots. The previous generation, Sword and Shield, stuck with giving players only one slot, which meant that you were locked in completely on whatever path you took unless you wanted a full restart with no chance to revert to your earlier save. We have the answer to if there are multiple save slots in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet....

Who would tell you that “your princess is in another castle” without a character like Toad to explain the situation....
