Even a decade after its release, Alien: Isolation remains a standout experience.

It’s a monumental example of adaptation in video games, thanks to the fact that developer Creative Assembly was packed with fans of Ridley Scott’s 1979 film, Alien, and an incredibly tight, detailed focus on the fidelity of the movie’s setting. It also set a bar in horror game design, with the alien operating on a set of reactive artificial intelligence rules that made it terrifyingly unpredictable and unstoppably lethal.

It also stands apart from other games based on the Alien franchise, which tend to ignore Scott’s original film in favor of iterations on Aliens, James Cameron’s sequel, which moves away from straight horror to feature more action–and a bunch of well-outfitted, smack-talking Marines. Creative Assembly instead pitched an Alien game, not an Aliens game, one that would focus on making the creature feel like an unstoppable, unknow…

Disney has been churning out iconic movies for decades, but did you know the company is also responsible for a series of New York Times best-selling novels? The series, Villains by Serena Valentino, follows bad guys from the films to better flesh out their stories. You’ll find 10 books in the series, and an eleventh, Kill the Beast, is scheduled to arrive on July 30.

You’ll fight countless battles in Palworld, most of which take place in the environment. However, there are certain encounters where you battle creatures in their own arenas. Here’s our guide on where to find all Sealed Realm Pals in Palworld. And don’t forget, Palworld is now available on PS5, in addition to still being on Xbox and PC.

All Sealed Realm Pal locations in Palworld

The Sealed Realm Pal locations can be seen in the map image below. Generally speaking, these areas tend to have a glowing teleporter in the middle. Likewise, there’s usually a fast travel point that’s nearby.

Tips when fighting Pals in Sealed Realms

Star Wars Outlaws is almost here, and if you’re wondering if your PC can process a good-looking galaxy full of danger, you can check out the official PC requirements for the game below. Ubisoft has released a list of the hardware you’ll need to run Star Wars Outlaws at its bare minimum and very best, and the one unifying factor here is that you’ll need an SSD with 65GB of storage capacity.

Beyond that, the requirements aren’t surprising. If you’re aiming for a 1080p 30fps experience using the low graphical presets, you’ll be fine with an old GPU like a GeForce GTX 1660 or an AMD RX 5600 XT, and to get the game running at 4K 60fps, you’ll unsurprisingly need to have a heavy-duty GeForce RTX 4080 with 16GB of VRAM or an AMD RX 7900 XTX with a whopping 24GB of VRAM. It’s worth noting that the settings factor in upscaling technology like Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR, and Ubisoft added that additional features like uncapped frame rates, ultrawide monitor support, and cinematic display m…
