Despite the controversies surrounding many of its recent decisions, Blizzard continues to endure. Blizzard recently celebrated its 30th anniversary by giving away gifts in its various titles, including Hearthstone. While those gifts are well and good, they don’t change the fact that Hearthstone has been in a rocky place as of late. The new Tavern Pass, which overhauled the game’s progression system, was despised by many players, and Blizzard is looking for a way to get back in their good graces....

This Hellbound review is based on the first three episodes of the Netflix series. It contains minor spoilers. How does Hellbound force its characters to face their own mortality en masse? Through something that looks a hell of a lot like divine intervention: In the series’ opening minutes (shown in the first trailer for the series), massive, Hulk-like monsters appear out of nowhere to chase a man through the busy, daylit streets of downtown Seoul....

Indie video game developer The Wild Gentlemen buddied with publisher HandyGames to recently launch its first game, an “Orwellesque Buddycop Noir Adventure” game called Chicken Police. The monochromatic narrative-driven mystery game was released on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch priced at $19.99, with the PC version currently available at the special promotion price of $15.99 until November 12, 2020. The Wild Gentlemen call Chicken Police a cinematic film-noir experience, “inspired by the film noir movies of the ’40s,” and was influenced by “games like Grim Fandango and Snatcher....

Ubisoft has a lot of plans for Far Cry 5 to make it one of the most unique offerings in the franchise, including the omission of towers and a mini-map. Now, Ubisoft has opened up about why it is making such significant changes to Far Cry 5. Drew Holmes, the writer of Far Cry 5, provided some insight into the development team’s thinking for taking such a hard turn away from what gamers expect from the first person shooter adventure game....

The Grand Theft Auto series contains one of the biggest and most expansive open world playing areas in gaming history. Across 15 titles over 20 years gamers have immersed themselves in the fictional realms of Liberty City, Vice City, Los Santos and San Andreas (based on the real-life cities of New York, Miami, Los Angeles and the state of California), and carried out 100s of different storyline missions and side quests....

Roguelite games are a unique genre, and inspiration for their creation can come from a variety of places in the gaming world. Holomento is one such title, and game developer Sean Weech is working hard to bring this game to Steam in 2021. In order to create the game that Weech envisioned, he has drawn his inspiration from many different games such as Breath of the Wild, and during an interview with Game Rant, he shared some more of these titles....

Sony has decided to remove several of the reasons to buy the PS5, as it has been revealed that Horizon Forbidden West, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and Spider-Man: Miles Morales will also be launching on PS4. The PS5 reveal event in June announced Spider-Man: Miles Morales and confirmed that it would be a PS5 launch title. The value of this game as a launch title was drastically increased when Halo Infinite was delayed to 2021, which took away one of the biggest reasons to buy an Xbox Series X at launch....

Taking down massive, anthropomorphic machines was the greatest charm of Horizon: Zero Dawn. Whether it was the dinosaur-like Tallnecks or the deer-like Grazers, there was a huge variety of metal beasts roaming the lands that Aloy had to hunt and fight. Among the machines are some human enemies that Aloy encounters too, but they are far less threatening than expected. Presumably this will be the same with Horizon: Forbidden West, which is a shame, but it could be improved....

Horizon Zero Dawn is an action roleplaying game that was released in 2017 on the PlayStation 4. Since being released on this console, Horizon Zero Dawn has become hugely popular with gamers because of its graphics, storyline, and the fun side quests that players can choose to solve as they control Aloy and make their way through the world of the game. One of the side quests that players can choose to take on is locating and solving each of the Cauldrons in the game....

For the past two decades, survival horror has become synonymous with the Silent Hill franchise to the point of the series becoming somewhat of a legend in the genre. The original titles are now considered classics on the PlayStation 1 and 2, with the much more recent P.T. now considered a modern classic by many, as well. With this said, it feels like a huge shame that the series has been absent for as long as has been....

Warning: contains spoilers for House of the Dragon episode 7 ‘Driftmark’. House of the Dragon episode seven left Rhaenys and Corlys Velaryon without a son, Prince Aemond without an eye, and Rhaenyra and Alicent’s respective court factions the Blacks and the Greens without any doubt that they were at war – the “ugly game” for control of the Seven Kingdoms had begun. Despite King Viserys I’s weak pleas for togetherness, the blood of his family runs far too hot for forgiveness....

Boba Fett’s green, T-visored helmet is a menacing visage that’s nearly evocative of Star Wars as Darth Vader’s; one first embodied on film by actor Jeremy Bulloch, who, sadly, passed away on December 17 at the age of 75. However, the legacy that Bulloch leaves behind has proven far greater than a character with minimal screentime and dubbed lines seemingly had any right to possess. It’s a legacy to which hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian owes a great deal of thanks....

I’ve been tentative about The Suicide Squad ever since it was announced. I love the Suicide Squad as a concept, in terms of their stories and their comics, but I hated the 2016 David Ayer cut. Actually, hate isn’t a complex enough word for how I feel about that movie. I think I like it more than most people I know, because of my innate love of the characters and my tolerance for dramatic set pieces, but I also despise it more than most people seem to care because of how it disrespected the characters and completely misunderstood everything the Suicide Squad is supposed to be about....

In 1898, British-American author Henry James published The Turn of the Screw, a novella about a governess who begins to believe that the two young children she has been hired to care for have come under the influence of malignant spirits. The book is considered one of the great ghost stories, as well as a literary landmark, thanks to its subtle yet escalating sense of inescapable dread and the ambiguous, unreliable nature of its narrative, which calls everything in the story into question....

Upon releasing VALORANT’s beta, Riot Games knew that its debut multiplayer FPS would be up against some tough competition. A successful multiplayer game—be it a Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends, or another one of the numerous popular titles in the genre—ultimately requires a following of dedicated players, many of whom will continue to play and improve at the game for a number of years. To help attract these worthwhile fans, Riot incorporated some wholly unique features in VALORANT’s beta....

It’s safe to say that Ubisoft has made a splash with the official reveal and test launch of Hyper Scape, and in a short time too. The new first-person battle royale shooter may have launched in the form of a Technical Test just this morning, but already Hyper Scape has managed to rock the charts on Twitch, a clear sign that people aren’t getting tired of new battle royale games just yet....

For some time now, Fortnite has had a close partnership with Deadpool, one of Marvel’s most popular anti-heroes. Recently, Fortnite introduced Deadpool’s X-Force skin, in addition to the Deadpool skins already in the game. The skin offers a twist on the basic Deadpool’s red and black color scheme, but there are a few steps to go through before players can unlock it. The skin is grey and black with red eyes, and can only be unlocked by players with a battle pass....

Anime and manga aficionados finally got their hands on Jump Force last week, after months of hype and painful waiting. The crossover fighter celebrates 50 years of Shonen Jump manga with a robust roster that reflects that legacy, featuring iconic characters like Goku, lesser-known classics like Dai from Dragon Quest, and rising stars like Deku from My Hero Academia. Unfortunately, the rest of the package fell short. Jump Force has a lot of problems such as an unfriendly UI, unbalanced characters, and a lifeless story....
