The next big open-world shooter is here. The Division puts you in the trendy hiking boots of a sleeper agent from an organization called the Division with a mission to bring peace back to a chaotic, post-viral outbreak New York City. The open-world shooter is much more than your typical third-person action game: there is a vast world to explore, complicated co-op missions to accomplish, and high-value items to be crafted.

There’s so much to do in The Division, in fact, that it can be a little overwhelming. Sure, it’s easy to follow the mission structure, but if you don’t pay attention to the minutiae, you might miss out of some significant character-building bonuses.

After the first few missions, you should have the three wings (medical, tech, and security) of your Base of Operations unlocked. From this point, additional combat abilities, passive perks, and specialized talents are unlocked by completing orange, green, and blue missions on the map and earning supplies in the respective medical, tech, or security wing. Once you collect more than 200 supplies for a wing, make sure you upgrade it. This way you can make use of the more powerful abilities, passive bonuses, free item drops that come as the upgrade rewards.

Walking through the dangerous streets of The Division’s New York City can be quite daunting, and you probably wouldn’t want to do it every time you need to reach a mission area. When you unlock a safe house, it provides you with a fast travel point, a weapon or equipment vendor, and additional missions in the vicinity. Each safe house contains a map of the immediate area and a JTF soldier that gives you a situation report. When you interact with the map and get the report, your map is filled with encounter events and side missions to complete. The encounters and side missions are excellent places to gather crafting materials, new gear, and experience points. If you’re heading to a new area, seeking out a safe house is well worth your time.

Armor and weapons aren’t the only items that will make you visually stand out from the crowd; you can create unique outfits by finding pieces of clothing out in the near-abandoned city. You might be lucky enough to get a cosmetic item from a drop after a shootout, but a few other methods are highly …

Silent Hill loves to play the player, as much as the player loves playing it. The series made its name by creating shifting, metaphorical worlds that forced you to consider the reality, the meaning and the underlying truth of every situation you were placed in. Where Shattered Memories distinguished itself was in how it turned your very console against you. Also, it quite literally told you that it was going to play you. Challenge accepted.

The superior Wii version used the tinny, horrible speakers of the Wiimote into weapons, piping through sinister phone calls and fizzing like the worst surround sound system ever created. Then there’s the way it alters itself based on your answers to psychological questions, reimagining the original Silent Hill as part-Rorschach test for the player, facing you with the very horrors you’ve been forced to imagine. It’s as smart as it is scary.

Forget your name – in this free indie horror Bitcoin Dice game, you’re called only by your title: D-9341. You’re a test subject captured by a secret organization known as SCP Foundation, which, for reasons unknown, has captured various supernatural creatures and anomalies for study, the likes of which shouldn’t exist in the real world.
