IO Interactive’s latest entry in the Hitman series takes fans to even more exotic and detailed sandboxes for them to investigate and discover the best or even the wackiest methods for killing targets. Each Hitman 3 level allows players to complete the objective in any way they see fit, as long as it’s allowed in the game’s world. And to make sure that players get their fill of Hitman 3, even after completing the main story missions, the game has an entire section dedicated to bonus challenges, which can fall into one of these four categories: Assassination, Discovery, Feats, Targets, and The Classics....

When it comes to stealth games, there are a few grandmaster series, and Hitman is one of them. Built around the idea of the perfect, stealthy kill, the series was revitalized a few years ago. Fans of the series have known for a while that Hitman 3 was in the works, but now they know a bit more. The main draw of the Hitman series is, and always has been, the lure of the creative kill....

If your health depletes in Home Sweet Home Survive, your soul drops to the ground and you must watch over your teammates until someone picks up your soul and revives you. But if you’ve already been killed once, you’ll be permanently dead the next time it happens. You will no longer be able to play and instead must watch over everyone else. This is why it’s important to watch your health, keep track of who’s already been down, and where the health packs are....

Supermassive Games made a name for itself with 2015’s Until Dawn, a critically-acclaimed horror game that earned a great deal of praise for how its choices genuinely impacted the narrative. Supermassive’s next game will feature the same style of gameplay as Until Dawn, and it finally has a release date. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan will launch for PC, PS4, and Xbox One on August 30, 2019. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan release date was announced with a new trailer for the game....

The world of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure focuses on the Joestar family for far too long. It is, after all, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, so it makes sense that this titular adventure would follow Jonathan Joestar and his descendants. However, once you’ve caught up to Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable, you start to see that there’s more to the world of JoJo than just one family and a cursed bloodline. Josuke Higashikata, Part 4’s protagonist, starts to take a back seat while his pals and acquaintances step into a more central role....

Recent reports that PlayStation is asking retailers to remove PlayStation Now subscription cards from their stores have only fuelled ongoing rumors that PlayStation is working on a Game Pass competitor known simply as Project Spartacus. While some reports suggest that Spartacus will essentially end up being a combination of PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus, it’s that idea that the rumored Spartacus service could eventually prove to be a true Game Pass competitor that has everyone excited....

Massive spoilers ahead for Star Trek: Discovery, Season 3, Episode 10, “Terra Firma, Part 2.” Before our sun burned hot in space and before even my toddler could pull off a reasonable William Shatner impersonation, time portals and paradoxes have been a staple of science fiction. Whether it was Bradbury’s butterfly or Heinlein’s bootstraps, those who love outer space sci-fi have been preconditioned to also love time travel sci-fi, forever. Kirk and Picard told us that “space” is the final frontier, but they failed to mention that the Star Trek franchise is sometimes at its best when it also travels in time, a concept that was introduced early on in Trek canon with the Guardian of Forever....

The Xbox Store is currently holding a Ubisoft Publisher Sale that offers discounts of up to 75% off on some of Ubisoft’s biggest franchises such as Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon. Luckily for players, the sale will run through the week, giving them plenty of time to browse through the sale and maybe pick up a game or two. Headlining the Xbox Store’s Ubisoft Publisher Sale is Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which is the latest installment to the longtime historical fiction series....

Borderlands is a rich haven full of LGBTQ+ characters made by developers that refuse to give in to the worst of the gaming community. They stand with solidarity, and it’s a treat to see. Before even meeting the likes of Hammerlock, Athena, or the trans protagonist FL4K, the franchise oozed queerness. From its explosively colorful palette to its quirky cast of characters to its anything-goes approach, it felt like home in a way no other game did....

I’m a pretty huge fan of The Witcher 3, and by pretty huge I mean that I had to get rid of my stick-and-poke tattoo kit a few months ago because I was about ten seconds away from permanently etching Geralt of Rivia’s magnificent face into my arm after one beer too many. I am not very good at art, by the way - in fact, I would go as far as saying that I am unequivocally shite at it....

Often times, when searching for a device that fits a specific need it’s hard to find a piece of tech that doesn’t fall into one of two categories: functional or gimmick. Typically something like a speaker is either designed for delivering high-quality audio, or it’s meant to do something wholly unique like light up or transform. Boost from iFrogz, surprisingly, is a device that is based around a gimmick (wireless audio), but is also completely functional....

The racing game genre has hit a bit of a plateau lately. Even with AAA titles like Gran Turismo 6 and Forza Motorsport 5 releasing to positive reviews, the selection of truly original and innovative racing games are few and far between. Slightly Mad Studios, developers of the Need For Speed: Shift series, claims to be changing that with World of Speed, a free-to-play MMO racer announced in February 2014 to be published by My....

Developer NetherRealm hosts a livestream and says that the first wave of Injustice 2 beta invites are going out, plus new footage of the superhero fighter debuts. Last week, NetherRealms studio head Ed Boon teased (then confirmed) that a beta would be coming for the developer’s new super hero fighting game, Injustice 2. And in what probably comes as a surprise to many fans, the beta is already here. Just five days after beta signups started, NetherRealms says the first wave of beta invites have gone out....

Warning: contains spoilers for Inside No. 9 series six. In series six, Inside No. 9 pulled off a diamond heist, explored obsessive geek fandom, framed a cuckold in an international conspiracy, let a grotesque true crime bleed from reality to fiction and back again, made a deal with the devil, and killed Jesus. Where, one might well ask, next? Anywhere it wants, is the answer to that question. The BBC Two anthology series can float from location to location, story to story, unhampered by the need to put down roots in any one place....

PlayStation itself donated to the non-profit organization Stop AAPI hate yesterday, and since then, more have followed suit, whether that’s Insomniac, Square Enix, EA, Devolver Digital, or Capcom. This is in response to the Atlanta Shooting in which six Asian women were killed alongside two others, as well as the 150% spike in anti-Asian hate crimes in the past year. “We continue to feel deep hurt and anger because of the escalating violence and aggression against Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities,” Insomniac opened, “Hatred harms all of us, directly and indirectly....

At this late stage in the leadup to the next console generation, the big question of how much the PlayStation 5 will cost remains unanswered. With only a few months to go before the console is supposed to launch, more and more people have been taking their stabs at guessing the PS5’s price, and now a business expert has weighed in with his own prediction. Speculation over that elusive price tag has been happening for a while now, but things have ramped up considerably now that Microsoft has officially announced how much the Xbox Series X and Series S will cost....

In an interview with PC Gamer, Henrik Törnqvist, co-founder of Iron Gate Studios, developer of co-op survival game Valheim, spoke about the game’s influences, which he says are more linked to single player RPGs like Zelda and Skyrim than conventional survival games, and the tiny team that worked on the game. Törnqvist also revealed that the success of Valheim, which has since sold more than three million copies, was unexpected. “We had a feeling that it would sell pretty well, at least to sustain us, you know....

It’s difficult to think of any console release set for this year that’s bigger than Halo 5: Guardians. As Microsoft’s flagship Xbox franchise, the game is one of the most hotly anticipated titles in all of gaming — and a new leak has given us an early glimpse at a preview build that likely won’t change too much before launch day. The Halo 5 beta has been finished for some time, but it seems that the data files installed on players’ consoles are still being updated....

Weeks after releasing a VHS-inspired trailer for Dark Souls 3 on April Fools Day, Bandai Namco creates an homage to VHS covers of yesteryear for fans to download as alternate box art. With its dark, brooding tale of undead knights battling hordes of nightmarish creatures for the fate of a gothic kingdom, the Dark Souls series is essentially the video game equivalent of the kind of B-grade straight-to-VHS horror movies that would pepper the shelves of Blockbusters across the nation....
