The Wheel of Time Takes Another Spin in Its First Season 2 Sneak Peek
Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power might be the epic fantasy TV series consuming all of Amazon’s attention (and money), but Prime Video doesn’t want you to forget about its TV adaptation of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series—and the best way to do that is with the first look at season two.
Battlefield 2042’s adds close-combat spin on Conquest in its next event

How to do the FIFA 23 McGeady Spin
The FIFA 23 McGeady spin is a skill that can get you out of a tight spot, and it’s also a requirement of the Mbappe Rising Star Moments challenge. The skill was popularised by ex-Everton winger Aiden McGeady, and sees the player turn a full 90 degrees with the ball and accelerate out of the spin to the point where, if performed correctly in the football game, the defender just cannot follow.
The Moments section of FIFA Ultimate Team can be a great way to earn free packs – and potentially some FIFA 23 Icons – for what is essentially just completing a bunch of tutorials. This McGeady spin challenge is an example of how they get more complicated as you go along though, so if you’re wondering exactly how to perform the skill move, you’ve come to the right place. This isn’t just relevant to Ultimate Team either, as you can take your newfound talent into Career Mode or Pro Clubs too.
BIOTA Swarm is a retro sci-fi spin on Vampire Survivors
We’ve had lots of fun obliterating hordes of lo-fi enemies in Vampire Survivors, so it was only a matter of time before something like BIOTA Swarm arrived to put a new spin on the emergent genre of roguelike auto-shooter survival games. BIOTA Swarm swaps Vampire Survivors’ top-down perspective for a platformer-style side view, but keeps the upgradeable weapons that plough through ceaseless hordes of enemies that fill up the screen with mutant pixels.
Audio-Technica’s new turntable puts a modern spin on an old classic
Puzzle game OU dreams of being a modern spin on The Neverending Story
Nostalgic yet unknown is perhaps a good way to describe OU upon first glance. It’s a game clearly designed to mimic the picture book imagination of childhood with its hand-drawn visuals and the innocent silent presence of its protagonist, a young boy named OU and his opossum friend. Even its music is reminiscent of some lost, unknown childhood as we’re lulled into the strange world of U-Chronia with the smooth instrumentation of a single guitar and its occasional percussion. Yet it’s clear with the presence of beasts that threaten your safety and a shadowy clone that this isn’t some peaceful retreat into childhood.
Screenshot Saturday Mondays: spin attacks and a rattling railbus
Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye was caught by several games with flashy spin attacks, a lovely ride on a rattling railbus, swearing at geese, and plenty more interesting indies. Come admire them with me!
