Leading up to the release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, many long-time fans wondered whether or not Rockstar would use these remasters as an excuse to make notable changes to the original games in order to bring them into the modern age. On that note, we should mention that the GTA Trilogy has already been brought into the modern age (kind of) via various ports to more modern platforms (including mobile devices)....

The Ranger from Guild Wars 2 is not just for Pokemon roleplayers but also for serious damage dealers. Because in Guild Wars 2, DPS is the answer to everything, and dealing as much damage as possible shortens the grind or lessens the time spent on dealing with bosses. That’s why the “ultimate longbow Ranger” will always be one that prioritizes DPS. For someone who might not be familiar with the current Guild Wars 2 META, this might be confusing especially with the plethora of options available....

The beauty of critically-acclaimed roguelike Hades is in the endless combinations of gameplay mechanics at players’ disposals during their slugfests to the surface. None of these mechanics are more important than the powerful run-specific Boons bestowed to Prince Zagreus by his kinfolk, the Olympian Gods. There are 9 Gods in Hades, each providing their own unique set of powers to help guide the young Prince to their domain on Mount Olympus for one hell of a family reunion....

TV Review: Safe, Episodes One and Two “People are entitled to their secrets,” says one of the characters early on in this Harlan Coben-created Netflix series, and then we’re immediately plunged into the business of proving that untrue. Everybody might have secrets but nobody is entitled to keep them, particularly once a teenage girl has gone missing from an affluent English gated community that is a great setting for strange and horrible happenings....

This review contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of Harley Quinn. It’s hard to stick the landing on any two season arc, let alone one that has centered around a slow burn queer relationship set against the backdrop of one of comics’ most famous cities. Yet as we stand in the shadow of Harley Quinn‘s season two finale, we can safely say that they have done it. Yep, Justin Halpern, Dean Lorey, Patrick Schumacker, and their team have delivered a hilariously funny, satisfyingly violent, and ultimately romantic final episode, which as much as it leaves us wanting more could also be the perfect ending to the brilliant series....

A sad, but probably inevitable decision: HBO Max has ended the 7 day free trial offer for new viewers just ahead of the premiere of Wonder Woman 1984. Though the service has had a 7-day trial available since it launched in the U.S. it would seem that the release of a major blockbuster like Wonder Woman 1984 has the service interested in making viewers pay up front from now on. This decision also coincides with the announcement that Warner Bros....

For the longest time Hearthstone only had nine playable classes, but recently another was added: the Demon Hunter Class. This class has a lot of really unique intricacies to it, and is the only class in the game with a Hero Power that only costs 1 Mana instead of 2. Upon release, the Demon Hunter was, quite simply, disastrously overpowered. That said, they’ve made some changes, and while it’s still certainly a solid deck, it seems to be much more in line with the other better classes....

Compared to nearly any other online card game, Hearthstone has perhaps one of the best extended formats of any. This would be Wild, a format that lets you use cards from the entire game’s history in order to create powerful brews and intimidating threats, many functioning faster and more reliably than anything in Standard. This means you’ll have to build very carefully if you want to win, and this will involve some extremely specific cards and strategies....

After revealing that the franchise is heading back to its roots with World War II, the summer proceeded to get only busier for Call of Duty: WW2. Fans got a look at the multiplayer side of the popular shooter at E3 2017, followed by the new horror-inspired Zombies mode at San Diego Comic Con a month later. With a private beta set to kick off later this month, Sledgehammer Games has announced a few rewards for participating players....

Gaming fans perusing Twitter today might be surprised to see that Kingdom Hearts 2 is a trending topic on the popular social media website. Earlier this month, Sora from Kingdom Hearts was trending as well, as fans speculated he was coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. One quick look at the trending hashtags will clue fans in that the reason Kingdom Hearts 2 is trending on Twitter is because today is the game’s 15th birthday....

Hideo Kojima is the type of developer gamers love to hate, not because he doesn’t create incredibly engaging titles, but because he is constantly teasing them with potential entries in the Metal Gear Solid franchise. And, unfortunately, Kojima is at it again, this time dropping hints about Metal Gear Solid 5. Official PlayStation Magazine UK has the interview, which doesn’t release until some time next week, but what they have revealed is that Kojima is sharing his ideas about MGS5, making it seem much more of a possibility than it has in the past....

These space-age-looking shoes are actually miniature RTX 3080-powered PCs. At least we think they are. There’s nothing quite like an impressive looking gaming PC setup. Whether a rig is kitted out with flashing lights, an impressive cooling system, or simply the high-grade tools capable of doing the best possible job. Size is also a major factor, and even though bigger is better, there’s something about fitting a lot of stuff into a tiny space that we can’t help but be impressed by....

Fans of IO Interactive’s Hitman admire the series for its massively-interactive take on the open-world stealth genre. However, they also love it for IO Interactive’s immersive take on the “hired assassin” trope that makes players themselves believe that their operations as Agent 47 seem to have the backing of a massively-powerful criminal entity. Thanks to Hitman 3, players can get a better insight into Agent 47’s recent exploits. However, something about his life remains as elusive as ever: the true nature of the International Contract Agency, the group he works for....

Evidently a lot of gamers are into virtual assassination, if Hitman developer IO Interactive is to be believed. This month marks 20 years since the franchise first debuted with the release of Hitman: Codename 47, and to celebrate the occasion, IO has announced that the stealth-action escapades of Agent 47 have drawn in more than 70 million lifetime players. Over the last two decades, the franchise has seen a fair deal of growth, not just with games but other forms of media as well, including novels, a comic series, and two movie adaptations of Hitman....

This article discusses broad plot points from the novel Dangerous Liaisons but does not contain spoilers for the series. Starz’s newest period drama miniseries Dangerous Liaisons is the cure for anyone who found Lady Whistledown’s revelations in Bridgerton too tame. The secrets of debutantes pale in comparison to the married elites of pre-Revolution Paris who carry on secret affairs while pretending to be faithful to their spouses. These affairs also expose class and gender conflicts in a world even more cutthroat than the Ton....

Warning: This article contains POWER RANGERS DINO FURY episode eight spoilers. For the better part of 20 years Power Rangers has actively resisted a strict continuity. Sure it would drop a reference here or there but most of the time the show was content to keep its season closed off from one another. When we did get references or connections to the past they were often throw away at best and actively contradictory at worst....

One of the recurring elements of the Final Fantasy series is a character named Cid, who is a different person in each title, yet they share similar elements among them. The most famous Cid is the one from Final Fantasy VII, as he was a playable character and briefly became the leader of the party. Cid’s fighting style is similar to that of the dragoons from the other Final Fantasy games, which means that he’s easy to replicate in Dungeons & Dragons....

A new app currently available on Android devices allows Switch owners to turn their cell phones into Joy-Cons. The Switch is on course to be one of the most successful and popular Nintendo consoles of all time. It recently celebrated its third birthday. During that time it has sold more than 50 million units. That’s more than the GameCube, Nintendo 64, and even the Super Nintendo managed. All of that being said, the Switch does come with its own set of issues, and one of them is pretty big....
