Just like its predecessor, Destiny 2 recently ramped up the raid difficulty by adding new challenges for players to overcome during the mission. Each week, a random encounter in the Raid provides one additional task for players to accomplish, and in return earn a special emblem and one guaranteed additional raid drop as well. This week, Destiny 2 added a Raid challenge centered around the Pleasure Gardens portions of the Leviathan, tasking players with only shooting one flower per each stealth round....

If you play Fate/Grand Order, there’s a chance that someone mentioned stars to you at some point or told you that you have to give certain servants stars to get them to hit hard enough to do some significant damage. If you’re like me and pretended to know what critical stars were so none of your fellow players would make fun of you, don’t worry, we’re here to break it down for you....

March 2022 is a great month for blonde women with cold, dead stares on Hulu. With its list of new releases for March 2022, Hulu is highlighting two major original series ripped straight from the headlines. The first is The Dropout, which premieres on March 3. This show stars Amanda Seyfried (taking over from the previously cast Kate McKinnon) as Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. This story about high-level corporate fraud is truly wild, enough so to accommodate several books, podcasts, and even an upcoming film starring Jennifer Lawrence....

Garrus Vakarian isn’t my main squeeze throughout the Mass Effect trilogy - that honour goes to Liara T’Soni. But when the asari scientist was busy tracking the Shadow Broker and tending to her own worries, a romance blossomed between me and the turian sniper. I’d heard about his dreamy demeanour and loving escapades from friends in the past, but I’d always looked past him, opting for another relationship option aboard the Normandy as he tended to some much-needed calibrations....

This spoiler-free review is based on episodes one to four of eight. This year has seen television drama so vibrant, inventive and entertaining that the first reaction is gratitude, but the second is frustration. You mean to say it could have been like this all along? This whole time, TV audiences have been stuck at the same party, in the same unending conversations about sad cops and bad men, because prejudice and failure of the imagination has kept a fabulous throng of bold, clever talent locked out on the other side of the door?...

No matter what the content of future video games is comprised of, there’s going to be a need for an engine to power it. Id Software, makers of Doom and Quake has come out and said id Tech 5, used to power RAGE, can be used in games on the next generation of consoles and beyond. Upon a cursory inspection of RAGE, graphics lovers can be taken aback by how expansive and vivid environments and character models can be with id Tech 5....

If you like capturing territories, building up armies, and biting a whole lot of necks then Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars should sound pretty dang good. It’s a new strategy game where you get to take control of a variety of different forms of bloodsuckers and wreak havoc across the European countryside. Unfortunately, while this sounds like a great combo for all you undead fans who want to roleplay as both a violent vampire and a violent army general, the gameplay never cuts particularly deep enough to make it a worthwhile experience....

Immortals Fenix Rising is releasing on pretty much everything on December 3. Previously known as Gods and Monsters, the Ubisoft title takes inspiration from Breath of the Wild, allowing you to explore a colourful open-world where you can climb any surface and glide down across open plains before stabbing a Greek god in the face. Elias Toufexis - an actor best known for his various roles in sci-fi series The Expanse, his stint as Adam Jensen across two Deus Ex games, and Leonidas in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey - plays a big part in the game, taking on the role of Prometheus, who narrates the adventure along with Zeus....

The first-person shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive just added two new maps created by its players for an Exotic Places Contest. However, the game is currently trending online in India, not because of its new content, but because its title song was used in a news report about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic according to the eSports-focused online publication TalkeSports. Coronavirus has been an inescapable topic of conversation, as its worldwide spread has ushered many into self-isolation with schools and workplaces closing; while delaying production on many video games, movies, and more....

The upcoming Spider-Man game from Insomniac Games has had growing hype ever since the first trailer hit. Almost the most anyone could have hoped for from the upcoming Spider-Man would be for it to play like the Batman: Arkham series, as they’ve been some of the best superhero video games ever, and now Marvel Games vice president Mike Jones has confirmed the Arkham games had some influence on the Spider-Man game....

There’s a lot of controversy over the launch of Apple’s new iPhone 4S - as it seems to have fallen short of some people’s expectations. However, while the iPhone 4S may look just like the iPhone 4, it is packed full of new technology - including dramatically improved graphical power and the ability to output video to an Apple TV using AirPlay Mirroring. Developers have started announcing upgrades to existing games that will use the power of the improved A5 chip found in the iPad 2 such as Real Racing 2 HD and Sky Scramblers: Rise of Glory as well as new titles for the iPhone 4S including Infinity Blade 2....

While the soon-to-be-released Gotham Knights has Batman fans buzzing, a lot of that buzz is coming from gamers who can’t quite tell if the action-adventure game is directly related to Rocksteady’s legendary Arkham franchise. Simply put, Gotham Knights is not officially part of the Arkham game series. For that matter, it doesn’t even take place in the same universe as the Arkham games. It’s a standalone adventure that takes place in the greater Batman universe (just like the Arkham games did), but it tells a new story complete with new characters and new takes on old characters....

By the time 2008 rolled around, four out of five Call of Duty games had been set during World War 2. There had also been over a dozen Medal of Honor games and three Battlefield games that were set in WW2 as well and so gamers were beginning to grow bored of the familiar conflict. Even the resounding success of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare the year before couldn’t sate players’ need for something different....

Skyrim has remained a critical and commercial success since its original release on the PS3 and the Xbox 360 back in 2011. Due to its success, Bethesda practically had to port it over to the PS4 and the Xbox One under the name The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition. The massively successful ports led to Bethesda porting the game over to the Nintendo Switch as well, a full 6 years after the original release....

Coming hot off the heels of the casting of Florian Munteanu as Krieg, actress Haley Bennett has been officially cast in Eli Roth’s Borderlands movie.

After consecutive months of having no professional sporting events, at this point, sports fans will take all that they can get.

The mysterious Harry Potter RPG currently in development (rumored to be titled Harry Potter: Magic Awakened) is still being kept tightly under wraps, but intrigued fans have a few tentative details to work with–one of which is the game’s setting. Although unconfirmed, the current theory is that the Harry Potter RPG is set in a previously unexplored time period: the Wizarding World of the 1800s. What could that mean for the game and its plot?...

Disney and Lucasfilm’s plans for the future of the Star Wars franchise include a series centered on Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi. Now, a new rumor suggests Hayden Christensen may be reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker in the forthcoming Disney+ series. Canadian actor Hayden Christensen portrayed young Anakin Skywalker in the final two chapters of George Lucas’ Star Wars prequel trilogy, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of Sith, but his performance as the fallen Jedi was not well-received by fans of the franchise....

Yesterday, Microsoft announced plans to raise the price of Xbox Live Gold from $60 a year to $120 a year.

Immediately after the announcement, thousands of gamers took to places like Twitter to express their disappointment in such a price hike coming from Microsoft, which has steadily built a reputation over the past few years as a company that presents a great value to gamers....
