Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing. This week it's not about what we've been playing, but what we hope to be playing on Christmas Day (you're reading this now, but we wrote this back in June or something as we plan ahead).
Respawn Entertainment has admitted that a new security breach has happened in Apex Legends, and a hack is allowing for remote control.

Decided to kick off your weekend with a couple of rounds of Apex Legends and a couple of cold brewskis? Well, if you ended up heading to bed early when your Ballistic lived up to his name by slamming every bullet you own into a cliff face without your involvement, don't go blaming the ol' liquid courage. Turns out someone has managed to find a way to "control the inputs of another player remotely," says Respawn Entertainment. While the studio says it was able to curb the issue within a few hours, it's never a good thing for the reputation of one of the best FPS games with a huge competitive following.

Have you ever wanted an Apex Legends x SSX crossover? Me neither. Who would ever come up with a concept like that? Respawn, apparently. But I've seen Lifeline snowboarding across World's Edge, there's nothing I want to do more than pop Misty 900 no-scope headshot from across the map. With the addition of pseudo-wall running and buffs for some fan favorite characters on the cards, too, there's only one question left on my lips: where's the snow?

When Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was originally released for the PS4, it was met with decent review scores. According to the review aggregate site Metacritic, it received an average score of 79 across 70 critic reviews. This was mostly due to technical issues that plagued the game well after launch. However, it seems some of those issues have been ironed out, and it is now in a decently playable state. In our review, we gave it a 9 out of 10.
“Without question, this is exactly the kickstart that Star Wars has been missing for far too long,” reads our review. “There’s no need to consult Yoda, Fallen Order absolutely deserves to appear in your immediate future.”

"We're heartbroken by the passing of our founder and dear friend Vince Zampella," Respawn Entertainment said in a statement on Twitter. "Our hearts are with his family, friends, and all who love him."
My favorite Apex Legends weapon is probably the 30-30 Repeater, and not just because of the buffs that marksman rifles have received in recent seasons. After that, I've always loved the sound of the Volt SMG, as well as the baroque Dreamweaver skin that I will never change. As you can tell, my tastes are based more on look, feel, and sound more than power, but it's still fun to run about with something completely broken whenever it appears. The latest overpowered weapon is a special R99 variant known as the Bird of Prey, and I can't remember ever seeing something this busted in Apex before.
