Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...
Baldur's Gate 3 is a game full of intricate detail. With so many dialogue options, characters, classes, and quests, everyone's experience is a little bit different.

Nintendo has promised to fix a game-breaking issue in Paper Mario: The Origami King that can keep players from progressing through the story. Light location spoilers for Paper Mario: The Origami King follow. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/14/paper-mario-the-origami-king-announcement-trailer"] On Mario and Olivia's journey to the last streamer in The Origami King, players have to collect four stamps for their Spring of Rainbows VIP card in the Shangri-Spa area. After you collect all four stamps from four different hot springs, you gain access to a secret fifth hot spring. However, once you enter the fifth hot spring, the Spring of Rainbows, you lose your VIP pass. And, the other four hot springs will not give Mario a second stamp, meaning it's impossible to regain the VIP pass after you've already used it. If you try to re-enter the Spring of Rainbows, Mario will once again be asked to show his VIP pass. So, if you leave the Spring of Rainbows b...

Now is your chance to relive the cult movie classic Texas Chain Saw Massacre in all its gory glory. This new multiplayer asymmetric horror survival game pits you as either a Victim or a member of the ruthless Family, a group of senseless murderers who delight in killing for sport.
Whether you awake in the basement as a Victim or choose to dominate the match as one of the Family, the odds are never guaranteed to be in your favor. Mastering the art of slaughter or escape is crucial to winning in this horrific game. Here are some tips to carry you through your first few matches as either a Victim or the Family.
Tips for Family
Welcome to the Slaughter Family. For reasons unknown, you have captured and tortured four Victims, chaining them up in the basement until you decide what to do with them. As luck would have it, all four have escaped from their bonds, and if you don't kill them soon, they could end up escaping. But perhaps you like playing with your food? Here are some tips for getting started as a bloodthirsty killer in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game:
Look For Blood Trails
Seems like all that work you put into torturing your captives has paid off. As the game goes on, Victims will begin to leave a trail of blood behind them. If a Victim is taking too long to escape, the trail will become more and more visible. Don't forget to keep an eye on the ground or risk overlooking the most direct hint to a Victim's location.
Pay Attention to Sound Cues
Whenever a Victim makes a lot of noise, a red circle will temporarily appear in that location on the map. This audio indicator can mean a number of things - a Victim opening a door, someone running through bones, alerting chickens. It could even be another member of the Family. Check out these disturbances when they appear to rule out a sneaky Victim's hiding spot.
Level Up Grandpa
The first thing you'll want to do as the Family is wake up Grandpa. The Family patriarch might not be mobile, but he has a powerful ability to detect Victims wherever they are, highlighting nearby Victims on the map.
Find him and feed him as much blood as possible before your Victims escape to the surface. To do this, you'll need to gather blood via blood buckets that can be found scattered throughout the map. Once you collect blood, return to Grandpa and feed it to him. If you've fed Grandpa enough blood, his Victim detection ability will grow stronger at an alarming rate.
Tips for Victims
While searching for your missing friend Maria Flores, you were caught by the infamous Family. Now you are gravely wounded and chained up in the basement, with escape being your only option to survive. If you plan to get out, you will need to not only avoid the killers, but be resourceful in how you search for an escape. Here are some tips if you are just starting out as a Victim in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre:
Don't Be Afraid to Make Noise at the Beginning
When you first load into a game, you'll be chained up in a basement and have to escape. If it's you're first time playing, you may not want to make a lot of noise to escape your shackles. But don't worry. This is the one time you can afford to make some noise. Mash the escape button until you fall. Once you hit the ground, you'll need to start being as silent as possible.
Take Advantage of Escape Animations
Whenever you're crawling through a space, squeezing through a wall, or falling into a well, you cannot take damage. You may see some family members attacking you but don't worry because you can't take damage as long as you're in that animation.
However, it's worth pointing out that you're not fully protected. Leatherface is the only Family member capable of hurting you while moving through walls. He can stick his chain saw through wall cracks to hit you, so be wary when facing off against Leatherface.
All Chickens Must Die
Be careful when you're near a chicken - even they're trying to kill you to some degree. If you get too close to a caged chicken or make enough noise in the vicinity, they'll begin to to cluck up a storm.
The racket a chicken makes when disturbed informs the whole Family that someone is nearby them. Luckily, even if a chicken is alerted, you won't be marked. Only the chicken will appear to all the Family with an audio indicator, so ensure you get away quickly.
