Best FC Mobile 2nd Anniversary players tier list

by admin


The 2nd Anniversary event in FC Mobile introduced special cards for icons and current superstars in the Gallery, which you can get by exchanging your shards.

As of writing on Oct. 7, there are two special teams of promo cards. Two more will be added in the next couple of weeks. The highest price for a card is 1500 shards, while the lowest is 200. As with any event, you can’t obtain them all, and this guide will narrow down the best choices as per your budget.

Best FC Mobile 2nd Anniversary players tier list

I have used four tiers to separate the cards. B and C tiers have cards that are 110 and 111-rated, and their stats are inferior compared to 112 and 113-rated cards. However, some of them are great budget choices if you don’t have lots of shards. Also, a few exceptions might be 111-rated, but have been placed higher.

  • S-tier cards are the absolute best items when you consider their stats, alternative positions, and shard costs.
  • A-tier cards are great cards, but they might be limited in alternate positions, or their shard costs more than they should.
  • B-tier cards are average choices that have decent stats, but they should be considered only if you have a low budget.
  • C-tier cards are items that you should stay away from (unless you have extra shards that have no other use).

S-tier

  • Jude Bellingham: Great card, great stats. He is also one of the cheaper 113-rated items, available for 1250 shards. He can play well as both a CAM and a CM.
  • Ronaldinho: While the cost is slightly higher, every Ronaldinho card has always been a top-tier choice. His dribbling and finesse will help you beat opponents and score from absurd angles.
  • Patrick Vieira: One of the most versatile midfielders in the current meta who can shine as a CM and a CDM. Unlike Lucio in the next tier, his cost of 1250 shards is perfect.
  • Toni Kroos: While I feel that his in-game stats and work-rates can be better, the card being available for 1000 shards makes him an absolute bargain.
  • Emmanuel Petit: Petit’s in-game stats and animations make him the best CDM in the current game (Vieira comes close), and the 112-rated item is only going to cost you 800 shards.
  • Cha Bum Kun: The South Korean might be the best RW currently available in the Shards Exchange, and he offers 5* Weak Foot as a bonus.
  • Lilian Thuram: If you have 1250 shards and need an RB, blindly choose the Frenchman. He will remain the best RB for a long time, and one of the safest choices in FC Mobile.
  • Marco Van Basten: He is pacy and strong, has a 5* weak foot, and costs 1250 shards. He is one of the best strikers in the current meta and will remain so.
  • Carles Puyol: While he isn’t top-tier meta in terms of stats, the 112-rated card costs only 650 shards, and it’s incredible value.
  • Vanja Milinkovic-Savic: Unless we get another CB in the 2nd Anniversary event, Vanja at 300 shards is the best goalkeeper you can pick.

A-tier

  • Lucio: A great CB item, but not ideal for those who like having taller defenders. His shard cost at 1500 should have been lower.
  • Theo Hernandez: While this Theo Hernandez card is a straight upgrade over his Inferno version, the cost of 1200 shards is way too high. However, he is pretty much the best offensive LB along with Ballon d’Or Roberto Carlos.
  • Jamal Musiala: While the German wonderkid is priced right at 800 shards, his Physicality stats and 4* weak foot are a bummer.
  • Kyle Walker: There’s a definite dearth of good RBs in this game, and Walker could be a great choice. Despite being 111 OVR, he has the pace and stats to shine in the meta. His price at 800 shards is objectionable, though.
  • Diego Maradona: Maradona might be an extremely strong meta choice, but his shard cost (1500 shards) and low physicality put him in the A-tier.
  • Zlatan Ibrahimovic: If Van Basten wasn’t a part of the 2nd Anniversary event, Zlatan would be top tier. He’s an excellent choice for most, but Van Basten will be better.
  • Samuel Eto’o: For an RW who costs 1500 shards, he has 4* weak foot, which is a limitation in the RW position.
  • Kevin De Bruyne: An elite CM but lacks slightly in defensive stats.
  • Luis Diaz: The new Diaz card has extraordinary agility, great pace, and costs only 800 shards.
  • Federico Dimarco: If you can’t afford Hernandez and need to upgrade the LB, Dimarco is a great, cheap option.
  • Jonathan Tah: This budget-CB is 6’5″ and has stellar defensive stats. He can be a great CB choice coming in at only 450 shards.

B-tier

  • Alisson: If I ignore the overall rating, there are better goalkeeping options over Alisson, and he is priced at 1000 shards, which makes him overpriced in my book.
  • Joe Cole: Good card and great in-game stats, and the 300 shard cost is just the right amount.
  • Freddiie Ljungberg: A good budget option if you need a new RM.
  • Viktor Gyokeres: While Gyokeres has always been meta, this card feels clunky to use. If you still need a striker at 800 shards, this should be your pick.
  • Socrates: I have loved to use many Socrates items over the years, but this version at 1000 shards is way overpriced.
  • Victor Osimhen: Quick pace and decent shooting, but a 111-rated card at 600 shards is not what I would call decent value.
  • Kenan Yildiz: Good pace, 5* weak foot, and well-priced at 450 shards.

C-tier

  • Jack Grealish: While I like his in-game stats, the 3* weak foot and 450 shard cost just reduce his potential value.
  • Federico Chiesa: If you need a new RM, it’s better to go with Ljungberg (although the Swede costs 150 sharrds more).
  • Joao Palhinha: Good CDM if you need a reliable option at 200 shards.
  • Olivier Giroud: Too slow for the meta and poor work-rate.
  • Thiago Almada: Quick but behind the power curve.
  • Beukema: Extremely weak stats and too short of a height for a CB.
  • Yann Sommer: Same price as Vanja, but one OVR less and inferior stats.

Rock Band 4 will be de-listed this week, now's your last chance to grab song packs

Rock Band 4 to be delisted on tenth anniversary following the expiration of its licenses

by admin


Rock Band 4 is to be delisted on October 5, 2025, following the expiration of its 10-year-old song licenses.

In a message posted to the game’s Discord community, Harmonix community manager Kyle Wynn confirmed that the game will be delisted from the PlayStation and Xbox storefronts on its tenth anniversary, but players who already own the game will “keep full access” and be able to download the game and any additional songs they’ve purchased to new devices.

“Hey everyone, on Sunday, October 5, 2025, Rock Band 4 turns 10. What a ride it’s been,” Wynn wrote (as reported by VGC). “With this milestone comes one big change – the original licenses for the core soundtrack are expiring. Because of that, Rock Band 4 will be removed from the PlayStation and Xbox digital stores.

“If you already own the game, nothing changes – you’ll keep full access and still be able to download the game and songs to any new, compatible devices. The same applies to Downloadable Content (DLC) – songs will come down as they hit the 10-year mark, but anything you’ve purchased will remain in your library.

“We’re so grateful for the passion this community has shown. From the team, it’s been a special experience to serve you with Rivals challenges, a super deep DLC library and a best in class band sim. If you’ve been meaning to grab a few last songs, now’s the time. Thanks again.”

Harmonix ended Rock Band DLC releases after 16 years back in January 2024.

As Chrono Trigger celebrates 30th anniversary, spiritual successor Threads of Time gets fresh gameplay trailer
Game Updates

As Chrono Trigger celebrates 30th anniversary, spiritual successor Threads of Time gets fresh gameplay trailer

by admin


The Chrono Trigger-inspired retro RPG Threads of Time has received a new gameplay trailer, showing off more of its time-travelling narrative.

From Canadian developer Riyo Games, Threads of Time was first revealed at last year’s Tokyo Game Show. Now, a year later, this new trailer was shown at the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct and it looks to be progressing nicely.

As with Square Enix’s iconic classic, Threads of Time will take place across a number of time periods, from prehistory to a cyberpunk future, and is presented similarly to the Octopath Traveller HD-2D aesthetic.

Threads of Time gameplay trailer – PC Gaming Show Tokyo DirectWatch on YouTube

One minute the adventurers are strolling through a bustling medieval town and battling the sort of fluffy or botanical creatures you’d typically expect in an RPG; the next they’re exploring sci-fi facilities and a rain-soaked futuristic metropolis with flying cars overhead.

There are some beautiful animated scenes chopped in too, though I hope the character designs don’t lean too heavily on Chrono Trigger nostalgia – I’m looking at you, robot.

What’s really struck me, though, is the look of the battles. These are turn-based, but have a strong sense of depth with a perspective sitting between Octopath and Dragon Quest as characters fight across the foreground and background with some evocative environments.

Image credit: Riyo Games

There’s no release date yet, though presumably it’s set for release on PC.

It’s also well-timed, following the critically acclaimed Sea of Stars from fellow Canadian studio Sabotage as another Chrono Trigger-inspired retro RPG. That game’s DLC Throes of the Watchmaker was recently released, if you need an excuse to return.

What’s more, Square Enix is this year celebrating the 30th anniversary of Chrono Trigger and promised various projects would be released, sparking hope for some form of remake or remaster.

It’s still unclear what’s happening there, even as fans cry out for a re-release on current hardware. Until then, Threads of Time could well fill the gap.

A PS4 trophy list for 2007's Tomb Raider: Anniversary has leaked online

A PS4 trophy list for 2007’s Tomb Raider: Anniversary has leaked online

by admin


A trophy list for a PS4 version of 2007’s Tomb Raider: Anniversary has popped up online.

While we’ve heard nothing official about a Tomb Raider: Anniversary re-release – let alone confirmation of a third remastered collection – the achievements are available on the PlayStation trophy tracking site, True Trophies.

The history of Tomb Raider – 20 years of Lara Croft.Watch on YouTube

Odds are, however, this is probably just a port rather than the next instalment of Aspyr’s remaster efforts, not least because there are substantially fewer trophies than we would expect from a modern remaster, and as the redditor who spotted the leak posits, we’d probably see trophies for Legend and Underworld, too, if Anniversary was part of wider collection.

As the OP explains it, “the style of this leaked list tracks with other games released for Sony’s classics catalogue, e.g. the small number of trophies and the design of the images. If it were Saber’s remaster, it would likely have a large, expansive list of things to do, and the images would be in the same style as TR1-6 were”.

Anniversary leaked for PS4

That doesn’t mean Aspyr isn’t working on a new remastered collection, of course, only that this probably isn’t it. We’ll probably find out for sure one way or the other soon, though.

Tomb Raider is one of the most storied franchises in gaming history. Debuting almost 30 years ago, Lara Croft’s first adventure was one of the pioneers of early 3D gaming, and turned the fearless explorer into an instant icon. Here’s how to play the entire Tomb Raider franchise in order, either by release or chronological date.

Françoise Cadol, the actor who voiced the French version of Lara Croft in all of Tomb Raider games from their inception to 2008, recently revealed she was taking legal action against Aspyr Media for the apparent AI-generated use of her voice in the Tomb Raider 4-6 remasters.

God Of War 20th Anniversary Retrospective Deluxe Edition Gets $85 Price Cut
Game Updates

God Of War 20th Anniversary Retrospective Deluxe Edition Gets $85 Price Cut

by admin



A few weeks back we covered a deal on the standard edition of God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective, but now it’s the Deluxe Edition’s turn. Normally $200, the beautiful Deluxe Edition box set is discounted to $115.41 at Amazon. This is a limited-time deal, and over 40% of copies have been claimed already. It probably goes without saying, but the $85 price cut is the best deal yet on the two-book hardcover box set. The 20th Anniversary Retrospective was published by Dark Horse in July.

The standard edition box set is up for grabs for $80.79 (was $100), but it’s worth noting the recent (expired) deal dropped the price to $66.33. It’s also available as a Kindle ebook for $35. Check out both editions as well as deals on other God of War books below, including The Art of God of War Ragnarok Deluxe Edition for over 50% off.

God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective: Standard Edition

$80.79 ($100)

God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective

The God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective Set is a two-volume hardcover book collection featuring 320 pages of artwork, behind-the-scenes materials, and exclusive interviews with key members of each game’s development team. Both hardcovers and the ornate slipcase are wrapped in leatherette.

Volume 1: Greek Saga covers the original God of War Trilogy and its numerous spin-offs, while Volume 2: Norse Saga details the development of God of War 2016 and God of War: Ragnarok. The 20th Anniversary Retrospective was written by Rick Barba, the author behind God of War: Lore and Legends, a recreation of Atreus’ journal published by Dark Horse in 2020.

God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective – Deluxe Edition

$115.41 ($200) | Limited-time-deal

God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective Deluxe Edition

The Deluxe Edition has a few flourishes and additional materials that will likely appeal to collectors and massive God of War fans. Both books have gilded page edges, ribbed spines, slightly different cover art, built-in ribbon bookmarks, and a display box with unique gold-foil illustrations on the front and back.

The Deluxe Edition also comes with a bifold portfolio containing a pair of lithographs. One of the prints features artwork inspired by the PlayStation 2 games, and the other is based on the contemporary reboot.

God of War fans can also save big on official art books for the 2018 reboot and its sequel, God of War Ragnarok. The series has also received a few novelizations and a humorous ABC storybook for adults titled God of War: B is for Boy.

Batman 85th Anniversary 10-Film 4K Blu-Ray Collection Drops To Best Price Yet

by admin



Fans of DC Universe animated Batman films will want to check out the deals on the 80th and 85th Anniversary Collections while they are still in stock. The Batman 80th Anniversary 18-Film Collection is on sale for only $32, which is over 50% off its current $70 MSRP–though it was selling for $90 earlier this year. The box set includes some of the best animated Caped Crusader movies on Blu-ray. The DVD version of the 80th Anniversary set is discounted to $29 at Walmart.

Meanwhile, Batman’s 85th Anniversary 10-Film 4K Collection has dropped to $80, a new all-time low price for the pricey 4K Blu-ray box set that originally released last year for $205. The 85th Anniversary Collection also comes with a voucher to claim digital versions of all 10 movies. Take a closer look at both collections below, and then check out the awesome deals on Batman: The Complete Animated Series, Batman Beyond: The Complete Series, and more beloved television series on Blu-ray.

$33 (was $70)

Batman: 80th Anniversary Collection offers terrific value, as you’re getting 18 animated Batman movies on Blu-ray for just $1.83 each.

There are some very good Batman movies included here as well that you won’t find ini the newer 85th Anniversary edition, like The Dark Knight Returns Parts 1 and 2, Batman: Ninja, and Batman: Gotham Knight.

  • Son of Batman
  • Superman and Batman: Apocalypse
  • Superman and Batman: Public Enemies

As mentioned, the 80th Anniversary Collection was also released on DVD and is discounted to $29 (was $70).

$80 (was $205)

Batman’s 85th Anniversary Collection launched last September with a rather high $205 list price. The current $80 price is a new all-time low for this 4K Blu-ray box set. At this price, you’re paying $8 per movie on 4K and digital.

It comes with a colorful slipcase and a 24-page commemorative booklet. The box set comes with 4K Blu-ray and digital versions of 10 animated Batman movies:

  • Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
  • Batman Year One
  • Batman: Assault on Arkham
  • Batman: The Killing Joke
  • Batman and Harley Quinn
  • Batman: Gotham by Gaslight
  • Batman: Hush
  • Batman: Soul of the Dragon
  • Batman: The Long Halloween
  • Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham

This is a pretty solid collection of Batman movies. The highlights here are obviously Mask of the Phantasm and Year One, while some of the other entries are fun popcorn flicks you can binge through like comfort junk food. Soul of the Dragon reimagines Batman as a ’70s-era martial arts master in a cheesy adventure film starring several other skilled DC fighters, Assault on Arkham is an action-packed dive into Rocksteady’s Arkhamverse that mostly focuses on the Suicide Squad, and Gotham by Gaslight puts a Victorian-era spin on Batman.

The Killing Joke, Harley Quinn, and Hush don’t reach the same heights, but they remain faithful the DC source material and are still worth watching.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest Celebrates 50th Anniversary With 4K Steelbook Edition

by admin



No list rounding up the best movies of the 20th century would be complete without One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. In celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary, One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest is releasing on 4K Blu-ray with a collectible steelbook case. Slated to release November 11, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Limited Edition Steelbook is available to preorder for only $30 (was $35) at Amazon. This edition also comes with a voucher to redeem a digital copy of the movie. A standard edition is available to preorder for $25 at Walmart.

$30 (was $35) | Releases November 11

The steelbook case features Jack Nicholson’s character pondering an escape from the prison of his mind and the psychiatric hospital, represented by a giant bird cage. The subdued color palette is similar to the film’s original posters used to promote the theatrical release.

Presented in native 4K resolution (2160p) with HDR10 and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, this edition of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest should be the best way to watch this all-time classic in 2025. This edition doesn’t come with a standard 1080p Blu-ray disc. One reason for this might be that the Blu-ray version has been out of print for a while.

There aren’t too many extras included here, but you can extend your viewing with the Conversations on Cuckoo and Completely Cuckoo featurettes as well as around 20 minutes of deleted scenes.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Special Features:

  • Conversations on Cuckoo: Group Therapy featurette
  • Completely Cuckoo featurette
  • Deleted Scenes

Sadly, it looks like the audio commentary track featuring director Milos Forman and his producers Saul Zaentz and Michael Douglas has not been included here, which is a pity because it provided fascinating insight into how challenging it was to film this adaptation.

If you want the audio commentary, a region-free 1080p Blu-ray edition is available for $17.37 at Amazon.

$25 | Releases November 11

As mentioned, a standard 4K Blu-ray edition is also available to preorder at Walmart for $25. Preorders for the standard edition haven’t opened at Amazon yet. This version also comes with a digital copy of the film and the same special features.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is based on Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel of the same name. Kesey’s novel is regularly included in lists of the best works of fictions of the 20th century, so it’s fairly remarkable the adaptation became one of the best movies of its era. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was nominated for nine and won five Academy Awards, including Best Actor for Nicholson and Best Picture.

Nicholson’s portrayal of Randle McMurphy remains one of his most memorable roles. McMurphy, a career criminal, avoids being sent to a labor farm and is instead imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital. He soon finds himself at odds with Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), a manipulative healthcare worker who controls patients with fear, abuse, and intimidation. Nicholson’s character is a quick-witted foil to the cold and clinical Ratched, and his rebellious nature gradually has a positive impact on his fellow inmates. In addition to Nicholson and Fletcher, the film also featured an ensemble cast of actors like Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd, Will Sampson, and Sydney Lassick, and William Redfield.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey

As mentioned above, On Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is adapted from the book of the same name. Kesey’s novel is mostly adapted faithfully for the big screen. Still, one of the major differences here is that the story is told from the viewpoint of Chief Bromden, giving readers more insight into his life and making him the main character.

At the same time, he witnesses the battle of wills between McMurphy and Ratched. The film also made several other changes to the source material–like having a completely different ending–but it does keep the gist of the novel intact.

If you’re interested in reading it, you can pick up the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest: 50th Anniversary Hardcover Edition for $17.58 (was $30) or the paperback version for $13 (was $19).

The other option available here is the Audible version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. This is a new reading of Kesey’s novel by Walk Hard actor John C. Reilly, and it runs for over 10 hours. It’s worth mentioning that Audible offers a pretty good deal currently, as new subscribers can get their first 30 days for free.

This will allow you to choose one free audiobook for the month–or two with the trial if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber–and the service will then cost $15/month afterward. Audible Premium Plus members get one Audible Credit each month, and you can buy more for $15 each. Effectively, this means you won’t ever pay more than $15 for a new book, and you also have access to thousands of books in the Audible Premium library as well as exclusive sales events.

Still, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book looks delightful, as Nintendo follows up the wool and crafting themes of its previous Yoshi adventures.
