The video game developer Rockstar Games releases an official launch trailer for Grand Theft Auto Online’s newest free expansion known as Import/Export. As most Grand Theft Auto Online fans would attest, the multiplayer realm for the virtual world of Los Santos is alive and well, especially considering the fact that Rockstar Games continues to support the title with DLC such as its latest Import/Export expansion. With the free add-on now officially available, the developer has decided to give fans of the open world title a rundown of what all is included in the update by releasing a brand new launch trailer for the freshest piece of Grand Theft Auto Online content....

For the past few years, Rockstar Games and its parent company Take-Two Interactive, have been actively hunting down modders who create and sell cheating programs for Grand Theft Auto Online. Ever since the release of GTA Online five years ago, some clever people started creating programs that manipulate the game’s code, allowing players to cheat and interfere with the gameplay of others as a result. The use of these cheat programs had escalated to the point Take-Two started banning PC Mod users from the game....

Arguably just as interesting as the movies themselves are the behind-the-scenes stories about how the films we love were made. Then there are tales about the scripts that were never produced at all, which provide their own kind of delight for cinephiles. Just have a look at Leigh Brackett’s original script for a little movie called “Star Wars II” or the Roger Corman Fantastic Four movie that could have been or the George Miller-directed Justice League film that was just weeks away from shooting, but for every mythical script that makes the rounds on the internet, there are many more we’ve never heard about at all....

Appearing in conversation at a DICE Summit 2016 keynote, Guillermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima discuss which parts of each other’s repertoire are particular personal favorites. One of the most attractive elements of the now-cancelled Silent Hills was the fact that acclaimed video game designer Hideo Kojima was set to collaborate with lauded film director Guillermo del Toro. Now, the pair have opened up a little about their enormous respect for one another....

343 Industries announces changes to the balance of Halo 5’s campaign, including increased difficulty for single-player and decreased difficulty for co-operative play. When Halo 5: Guardians released last year, the title was seen as a strong return to form for the Halo series at large. Although the game was one of the best multiplayer games of 2015, it seems as though developer 343 Industries is not quite happy with the game’s campaign....

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has been updated yet again, and this week’s update is meatier than most. Whereas Jam City has been consistently adding just one story chapter each week to Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, this week’s update brings two story chapters, four classes, and even a side quest for fans to try out. The new side quest in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has to deal with Rita Skeeter, the controversial Daily Prophet journalist with questionable ethics....

Up until two weeks ago, nearly all of the endgame PvE activities in Destiny 2 were virtually locked behind difficult mechanics and tough bosses. That is, until the discovery of a 12-man glitch rendered many of them moot, as Guardians took to their clans and Discord channels to tackle the various in-game activities. Although there’s less than a week until the next set of patches ends the incredibly fun bug, Bungie is also bringing back Destiny 2’s extremely difficult Grandmaster Nightfalls....

This review contains spoilers. 1.4 Armour If the careful foundation-laying of the first three episodes had left you feeling at all distanced from or frustrated by this story, then Armour’s here to yank you into a giant bear hug and surround you with fun, action, excitement and promise. This was the most enjoyable and accessible episode yet. With the uncluttered, clear-cut plot of a videogame level (meet mystical gatekeeper, solve riddle, receive magical object, recruit allies, unlock achievement), a ticking clock thanks to the spy fly device, and the introduction of a couple of welcome archetypes (the rascal adventurer and the down-on-his-luck warrior), it was an entertaining hour of forward momentum....

The developers at Guerrilla Games officially confirm that its forthcoming action-adventure title, Horizon: Zero Dawn, contains a photo mode to take in-game pictures. Much to the delight of many Horizon: Zero Dawn fans, Guerrilla Games recently revealed that its upcoming exclusive title for PlayStation 4 will not feature microtransactions in any capacity at launch, despite the release containing plenty of RPG elements. Now, the studio has even more good news for fans following the development process of Horizon: Zero Dawn, with Guerrilla Games now unveiling that its action-adventure title will have a photo mode that lets players take pictures in-game....

Sure, you can play as Aloy in Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch, but GamesRadar spotted one player who has taken it a step further by playing Horizon Zero Dawn on their modded console. Reddit user Snom-Leader has modded their Switch to run Lineage OS. That allowed for them to install PSPlay so that they could stream their PS4. With that, they connected to their PlayStation console to play some Horizon Zero Dawn....

Up until the mid-1990s, Nintendo held onto the top of the home console market by a substantial margin. They had all of the developers under their strict, quality controlling wing. They had some of the best first party games from The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros. series that everyone wanted to get their hands on. Sure, SEGA would start to take their share of the pie of players, but Nintendo was the head honcho without question....

1989’s Batman is widely regarded as a time-tested, transformative entry for the comic book movie genre, and its $411.5 million worldwide gross ($872.8 million adjusted for inflation) certainly shook an unsuspecting film industry to its core. However, for actress Sean Young, who was initially set to co-star in the film as Vicki Vale opposite Michael Keaton’s Caped Crusader, it represents a point in which misfortune pulled her away from a prospective mainstream breakthrough....

The battle royale genre is filled with titles for every type of player, and now Call of Duty can be added as the most recent with Warzone. As a free-to-play game, over six million players have jumped into the action, and there are clear parallels to other battle royale titles, with improvements in some areas and somethings still left to be desired in others. Contracts Shift Focus, But That’s Nothing New Warzone contains a feature known as Contracts that provide players with objectives relating to Bounties, Scavenging, and Recon, providing a broad range of rewards....

Directed by Amy Poehler, glorious coming of age comedy Moxie hit Netflix last week and was a joyful celebration of giving a damn. The movie sees 16-year-old Vivian (Hadley Robinson) inspired by her mum’s (Poehler) former feminist escapades and the misogyny she sees at her school to produce her own Zine (called Moxie) to unite her class mates and try to make a difference. Sometimes she gets it wrong. Sometimes she hits out at the wrong people....

This article is presented by Nintendo. When New Pokémon Snap is released for Nintendo Switch on April 30, Nintendo fans everywhere will have a chance to experience the long-awaited follow-up to one of the company’s most fascinating and beloved experiments: 1999’s Pokémon Snap. As an on-rails FPS game where the only shooting you did was take pictures of wild Pokémon, Pokémon Snap was a true oddity. While developer HAL Laboratory elevated that premise through Metroidvania-like unlock mechanics and a fantastic photo grading system, most of Pokémon Snap‘s gameplay really was based on the thrill of capturing in-game moments with a camera....

Fletchling - and it is Fletchling, not Fletching - is the latest Pokemon to make a debut in Pokemon Go, overjoying every Pokemon fan who has ever had an affinity for those early normal-type bird Pokemon. Fletchling might not be particularly unique or special, but its certainly an adorable wee bird that we’d love to have in our Pokedex, and luckily for you, you can catch a Fletchling in Pokemon Go right now....

Ever since mobile phones gained popularity, and way before they were the do-everything smart devices that we use today, we’ve been sending and receiving text messages on a daily basis. Whether you’re socialising with friends, checking on your grandma, receiving a package or booking a cab - chances are that there’s some text messaging in the mix. Sometimes, though, you’ll be sent information that you need to share with someone else, and one of the easiest ways to do that is by simply forwarding the message to the person in question....

Destiny 2’s Spring Revelry Event is in full swing, offering players a new activity called the Verdant Forest to complete and new items to collect. Among those new items is a set of Revelry Armor (two different types) that can add an additional flourish thanks to ornaments. Most players have seen the Destiny 2 Revelry ornaments in the trailers and promotional images for the event. These are the glowing antlers, wings, or ears that protrude from the player’s helmet once the ornament is active....

The Legendary Trio of Pokémon Black & White are modeled after the Three Musketeers, being justice-bringers that wield sword-like attacks. This makes them all Fighting-types as they’re modeled after a fighting style, but each one has its own primary type. Virizion is the Grass-type of the group that swiftly slices foes with its sprout-like horns. Sadly, you can’t grow one in Pokémon Sword & Shield. But you can transfer one in....

Devolver Digital is once again holding a summer livestream event in which it will showcase its upcoming games, as if E3 was never canceled. While summer 2020 has proven unconventional when it comes to game announcements and events, gamers can still rely on Devolver to deliver. The Devolver Direct event starts at noon PT/3:00 pm ET, meaning it starts relatively soon, so it’s best to know exactly how to watch what’s certain to be another memorable gaming industry event....
