When we saw Cortana in Halo 5: Guardians, she was threatening to destroy anyone in the universe if they opposed her. Her rampancy had grown out of control, and it was clear Master Chief would have a tough battle ahead of him. However, we never got to see or experience anything of Cortana’s conquest, as Halo Infinite begins a few years after the events of Halo 5. Although it’s revealed that Cortana perished off-screen before the majority of events in Halo Infinite, that doesn’t mean Master Chief no longer has an AI companion....

Given the popularity of the character over the last two decades, it’s safe to say that most have a solid handle on Batman/Bruce Wayne: suave millionaire by day, and crime-fighting vigilante by night. But despite the access to immeasurable means, Wayne seems to have avoided getting a big head. Well, until now. In a new patch released for Batman: Arkham Knight on console this week, developer Rocksteady Studios has brought back a fan-favorite modifier: the big head mode....

While Hitman 3’s Nightcrawler challenge is certainly not the most difficult optional task in the game, it can be one of the most tedious. Indeed, players will need to exercise quite a lot of patience if they want to take a photo of the sheikh sleeping, as he is simply in no rush to have a rest. That said, with some persistence and just the bit of instruction contained within this guide, fans should find it fairly easy to finish this Hitman 3 challenge....

The Harry Potter franchise is up there with Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the most expansive fictional universes. With any fictional world this large, it sometimes results in big question marks or even inconsistencies in the plot. The official Wizarding World franchise and all of its subsidiaries are a known offender of unsolved plot holes, so where does this leave the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy? Hogwarts Legacy will expand on the universe in a significant way by stepping into uncharted territory....

As Guerrilla Games gears up to release the latest DLC for Horizon: Zero Dawn, the developer launches a new video which introduces players to a fierce new mechanical beast that can be found in The Frozen Wilds. Contrasting with the upcoming content’s theme, the Scorcher will unsurprisingly be the cause of quite the heated battle once players encounter one in the game’s new area. In the new trailer entitled “Meet the Scorcher,” some of Horizon: Zero Dawn’s development team show players what the new robot has in store for them....

We often turn to live streams as a way to get further enjoyment out of our favorite video games. If you open a browser tab to Twitch, you’ll notice millions of people watching their favorite games. Most of those are centered around PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Hearthstone, and League of Legends – three of the most popular titles on the streaming service. Each game has its own celebrities. These people, once like you or me, turned to the internet for attention....

In Sound Mind will look familiar to many people, and as a first-person horror game with abstract, psychologically manifested monsters, comparisons to titles like Outlast or Amnesia: The Dark Descent are no doubt around the corner. Some of what In Sound Mind has to offer can even be experienced right now thanks to a Steam demo, but new gameplay has also been revealed. The reveal of In Sound Mind came back in June, and it brought a new trailer with it....

Longtime Mario Kart racers know that out of all the iconic tracks in the series, Rainbow Road remains the most well-known and infamous. Following the announcement back in March that Hot Wheels would be releasing a real-life version to race on, we finally have a release date of June 24. The colorful track has a few neat features to make re-creating your Switch experience in real life enjoyable. It will feature all of the iconic lights and sounds, plus two different options for setup....

As is often the case with Assassin’s Creed, the open-world that’s featured within each core installment is absolutely massive, and – to the surprise of very few – the same can be expected from the newly announced Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. What can spring up from games with sprawling landscapes and a multitude of scenic vista, however, is a lot of familiarity in the layout of the map. While this has been an issue that’s plagued many titles in the past, Ubisoft is pulling out all the stops to make sure that players’ visits to 1868 Victoria England has a medley of districts that feel distinct in a fashion similar to their historical, real-world counterparts....

This Evil feature contains spoilers. “I saw that your serial killer’s dead,” Ben Shakir (Aasif Mandvi) informs partner Dr. Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers) in an early scene in the opening episode of Evil season 2. “Is there anything I should be worried about there?” The first thing he learns is not to be concerned about any possessive feelings Kristen may harbor towards Orson LeRoux (Darren Pettie), the man Ben says was “bludgeoned....

When Pokémon GO first launched, every player had his or her issue with the game, big or small. Some felt like the spawn rates were too low for specific Pokémon, while others were surprised to find how different the “battle” experience was from the mainline Pokémon games. But one thing most agreed upon was a mutual love/hate relationship with Magikarp. In Pokémon lore, Magikarp is something of an ugly duckling. It’s an unassuming water-type Pokémon that is literally a flapping fish out of water....

While many of you are undoubtedly tucked up and playing away in the world of Los Santos, let us take a moment to stop and open the history books of gaming to remember the humble beginnings of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. To do that we must turn back the clock and take a trip to the United Kingdom. Back in 1994, a small Edinburgh-based team started working on a little title called Race’n’Chase that would eventually go on to become one of the most successful entertainment franchises of the modern age and one of the UK’s most valuable creative exports....

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is undeniably one of the biggest releases of the year and Square Enix has been greatly enjoying its success since its April launch. The publisher recently shared its financial report, which shows how it’s digital earnings more than doubled compared to last year, primarily because of the remake. However, while the reception for Final Fantasy 7 Remake has been overwhelmingly positive from both fans and critics, a lot of players have technically been playing an incomplete game, primarily those based outside of the U....

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order allows players to fulfill their Jedi fantasies by playing as Cal Kestis, a Jedi whose connection with the Force has been shattered due to his traumatic past. Throughout the game, Cal will relive his training during the Clone Wars with his former master, Jaro Tapal. In the flashbacks, you will learn Jedi abilities with Cal, such as wall-running, Force Push, and Force Slow. One of the more helpful powers in the game is the double jump....

If there’s one thing the Life Is Strange series does well, it’s constructing memorable side characters. I actually think there’s a lot of things Life Is Strange does well, with the first game’s uncompromising depiction of queer women and the second game’s unflinching portrayal of racism in America both displaying more bravery and honesty than games with five times their budget, but that’s beside the point. If you had to pick one element that Life is Strange does better than anything else, it would be the supporting stars....

One editor talks about why he plans on taking the plunge with Final Fantasy 15, as someone that’s never really liked the series leading up to the new game’s release. I think it’s safe to say that many gamers have that one franchise that they missed the boat on. Some skipped over the ever-popular Pokemon, others bypassed the acclaimed first-person shooter Halo, and I missed out on one of the most well-regarded JRPG series of all time, Final Fantasy....

Indie darling, Wandersong, appears to be continuing the same trend as Rimworld, gaining popularity and acclaim through near-perfect positive user ratings. In fact, the game’s most recent reviews have been so good, that it appeared that Valve thought something funny was going on. According to a tweet from the game’s official Twitter profile, a staggering 100% of 43 Steam user reviews within the past 30 days have posted positive reviews. The achievement is a rather odd one (especially considering the trolly nature of Steam’s user reviews)....
