In 2017, Hazelight Studio Founder and It Takes Two Creative Director Josef Fares stole the show at the Video Game Awards when he gave an impassioned, expletive-laden speech promoting his new co-op title A Way Out. The speech has since gone down in history as one of the most memorable moments from the Video Game Awards show. Unfortunately, A Way Out did not include any references to the now notorious speech; however, the outspoken Josef Fares has included the speech in the form of an easter egg that can be found in his new title It Takes Two....

Once slated to arrive in theaters long before COVID-19 crash-landed in 2020 and upended the entire world, Greenland stars Gerard Butler as John Garrity, an Atlanta-based structural engineer who struggles to save his family as a planet-killing comet speeds toward Earth. Thanks to his skills, Garrity is one of many otherwise ordinary people who have been selected to hole up in massive underground bunkers in the country of Greenland, in the hope that he and others can emerge unscathed and begin rebuilding after the comet wipes the rest of civilization off the face of the globe....

Supergiant Games will be releasing a physical version of Hades, after the roguelike’s massive success last year. The release will come with a PC download code of the Hades soundtrack that has two and a half hours of music from Darren Korb, and a full color 32-page compendium with portraits of the game’s cast of characters. It will be available on physical shelves on March 19. At the time of writing, it is not available to pre-order, but we expect it to be around $30....

Hades, the latest roguelike from Supergiant Games, has now surpassed 1 million copies sold worldwide, having amassed over 300,000 new sales from the last four days alone. The news comes from the official Supergiant Games Twitter account, which recently published a sales update following the launch of Hades 1.0 last Thursday. After spending the guts of two years in Early Access on PC, Hades had already shipped approximately 700,000 units, but that number has skyrocketed to over 1 million copies in the interim between its full launch and now....

It’s been almost four months since Halo Infinite was officially delayed from its initial release date alongside the Xbox Series X. News was relatively sparse from a public angle, but 343 Industries was quietly making some big changes in leadership to accommodate the additional development time ahead. Joseph Staten, veteran narrative designer on previous Halo entries, returned to supervise Halo Infinite’s development as creative director. There haven’t been any new trailers since the initial campaign gameplay reveal in July....

While there is an extensive list of games confirmed to be at E3 2018, Microsoft has held its secrets tightly to its chest. One of the most anticipated titles that could appear during the tech giant’s conference is Halo 6, and if rumors indicate anything, it may not be alone. Apparently, the “word on the street” is that a new addition to the Microsoft exclusive first-person shooter franchise known as Halo Infinity is getting announced....

This article contains spoilers for Marvel’s HAWKEYE episode 3, as well as potential spoilers and speculation for future episodes and the wider MCU. In Marvel’s Hawkeye episode three, “Echoes”, we get to know Maya Lopez aka Echo and her right hand man Kazi, who are currently heading up New York’s Tracksuit Mafia for a mysterious crime boss, while the friendship and trust between Kate Bishop and Clint Barton grows. It’s a near-flawless episode of MCU TV that pits Clint’s deep psychological issues and murky past against Kate’s headstrong enthusiasm and kindness, and introduces the character of Echo in a way that slices your sympathies apart with a jagged edge....

The 2020 Emmy Awards have come and gone, much like HBO’s unfortunately short-lived Watchmen series. But the show still made a substantial mark on the multi-night ceremony, flying away with 11 awards including best limited series. Not bad for a single season, eh? The show’s best limited series award is already notable enough, as it makes Watchmen the first comic book property to win one of the “best in its category” Emmys....

It isn’t unusual for developers to offer fans the chance to be featured in a game, but few do so in a way as unique as Hell Let Loose, one of the surprise hits of 2020. The game, set during World War 2, is looking to add a little bit of ambiance to the battlefield in the form of background sound effects, and it’s giving players the chance to contribute....

The Georgia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force recently concluded a months-long sting operation called Operation Interception, which had the goal of arresting individuals trying to have sex with children. Investigators posed as children on various dating apps to collect evidence against the predators before moving forward with the arrests over Super Bowl weekend. Among the 21 perpetrators captured was 32 year old Hi-Rez Studios employee Thomas Cheung, who currently works as the Community Specialist for Smite....

Cold Iron Studios have recently unveiled its upcoming project, titled Aliens: Fireteam. This third-person, co-op action-adventure title set in the Aliens universe has caught the attention of many gamers, and is scheduled to release on all major consoles and PC this year. Ever since the first piece of Aliens: Fireteam’s gameplay was revealed to the world, many fans started drawing comparisons to Valve’s Left 4 Dead games. That’s not a bad comparison to be made....

The Xbox 360 launch title, Quake 4 featured an achievement titled “Number One”, for reaching the #1 position on the worldwide ranked leaderboards. Yes, this game required players to literally become the top player in the world in order to get the full 1000 Gamerscore, or at least that’s what the developers intended. Many would expect that the players to be found at the top of the leaderboards are all of the top Quake 4 players around the world, but they would be very wrong....

2021 is almost here and if there’s one thing it’s bound to bring back is Marvel Studios’ plethora of MCU content after one and a half years since Spider-Man: Far From Home released. While all of 2021’s planned Marvel offering was pretty much known to the public, Disney’s Investor Day event saw another batch of MCU productions announced all the way up to 2023. When Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk kickstarted the MCU in 2008, Marvel fans then had to wait another two years for Iron Man 2 and even longer for Thor, a stark contrast from the four to five films already scheduled for 2021 and 2022, which this time around will be joined by at least 9 miniseries over that time span....

There might “only” be a handful of curses in Sea of Thieves right now, but that’s likely to change based on their popularity. As cosmetic items, they are something that other players will recognize almost immediately and inquire about how they, too, might be able to show off their accomplishments with style. Such cool effects don’t come cheap or for free. The reason these curses are the talk of the town is because of their rarity....

The Vive won’t be on store shelves until later this year, but fans expect that its official price will be announced soon. Gamers looking to grab the virtual reality headset on the cheap, however, will probably be out of luck: the Vive is set to ring in at a premium price tag, while delivering what HTC believes will be a high-end experience. This information comes from Jeff Gattis, the executive director for marketing at HTC, who believes that the higher price of the Vive will be justified....

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was named as the foundation for building a new open-world IP from the ground up....
