What better way to celebrate Valentines than with a Dead Space 3 in-game item giveaway!

By Digital Trends Staff February 14, 2013

While some may see Valentine’s Day as a time to go out and have dinner with a friend or loved one, or perhaps even go to a singles party celebrating being on the other side of the Valentine’s Day fence, we have an alternative suggestion for you care of EA and Visceral Games.

The team behind Dead Space 3 has codes to help you make stomping the heads of Necromorphs all the more rewarding, and not only that, we have two codes to give each winner so you can keep one for yourself and pass the other on to a co-op partner. For your chance to win, all you have to do is post a comment below telling us what games coming out this year that you are most interested in (or even unannounced games possibly coming in the future). Let us know what games you are interested in, and we’ll do our best to make sure we keep you up to date in the coming weeks and months on any news regarding the game or franchise.

Here’s how the codes break down: we will choose two winners for Dead Space 3 on EA’s Origin service, two for the PS3, and one for the Xbox 360. When you post a comment, you must specify your system of preference. The contest is open to U.S. residents only.

Here’s what you can win:

Origin and PS3 players:

-One winner will receive two codes for the “Tau Volantis Survival Kit” (containing the Marauder, Sharpshooter, and Tundra suit packs, as well as the Bolt Accelerator.)

-One winner will receive two codes that includes a “Miscellaneous pack” (including the Maurauder, Sharpshooter, and Tundra suit packs, the Bolt accelerator, Bot capacity, and Bot personality.

Xbox 360 players:

-One winner will receive two codes for the “Miscellaneous pack” listed above

In total there will be five winners, two for PC, two for PS3, and one for Xbox 360. We will select the winners tomorrow (Friday, February 15) at noon PST.

Good luck, and happy stomping!

How to mine Silver in Hades 2

Art for Nemesis in hades 2.

Silver is one of the most important resources you can find in Hades 2. Unlike most others that drop after clearing a room, this precious metal must be mined from deposits around the map, leading to the question of how you can gather it. You may come across a glowing stone with the "Collect?" prompt, only to be told you cannot gather it without a special tool. That tool is none other than the Crescent Pick, but unlocking it is a bit obscure. It won't take you many runs to get what you need, so just follow our lead so you can start collecting Silver to make new weapons with.

Silver deposits will pop up around the environment as you navigate the randomly generated rooms, so you will need to keep an eye out for these glowing silver rocks. To gather that sweet material, you first need to unlock and acquire the Crescent Pick, which takes two steps.

All Rockstar video games: full list of developed and published games

Michael from Grand Theft Auto V.

It might seem like a boastful name, but Rockstar Games really are rockstars in the gaming world. The developer is responsible for arguably the most important and lucrative gaming franchise of all time with the Grand Theft Auto series. While the open-world crime series is what the studio is best known for, it has dipped its toes into a wide range of genres and styles as a publisher since its first game in 1997. While the studio's output has certainly slowed, with an over eight-year gap between Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 6, there's a backlog of over 40 games in its portfolio. That's a lot of history to digest, but it's important to understand the entire scope before we decide which games are the best.
All Rockstar games released

Originally called DMA Design, Rockstar has been developing and publishing games since 1997 and shows no sign of stopping any time soon. Not counting any remasters or rereleases, here is every game Rockstar has developed and published. We split this list based on whether a studio with Rockstar in the name developed or co-developed the game in question.

I want more approachable Soulslikes. These new games show that it’s possible

Stellar Blade STALKER fight.

One of my favorite copypastas on the internet comes from someone complaining about a player using mods to make a FromSoftware game easier. "You cheated not only the game, but yourself," it reads. "You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad that you don't know the difference."

The infamous post was made in response to a PC Gamer article about mods that made Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice more approachable for the writer. It's funny to see someone get that angry over another's personal experience with a game they own, but it also addresses a question that's loomed over the gaming community ever since Dark Souls took the world by storm: Should FromSoftware's games and the Soulslikes inspired by them have options to make them more accessible?
