Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation following accusations of harassment, discrimination, and fostering a hostile work environment. You can read more about the investigation here. Hearthstone‘s new Murder at Castle Nathria expansion is certainly thematically exciting (who doesn’t love a good murder mystery?), but there are serious questions about how the expansion will impact the game’s competitive meta. There are already some who fear that many of the expansion’s new cards will prove to be just a bit too gimmicky....

TikTok has been facing several controversies spanning several countries. Now, India is banning the platform along with several other apps that were developed by Chinese firms.

The Hitman series has always been considered something of a niche series when compared to the big AAA shooters like Call of Duty. It even differs from fellow stealth titles like those in the Metal Gear Solid series. However, with the World of Assassination trilogy, the series which both rebooted and acted as a sequel to Hitman: Absolution, the Hitman games have gained a bigger audience and increased its fanbase....

Guerrilla Games reveals that its upcoming PS4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn will not feature any microtransactions, despite the game having lots of RPG elements. Upcoming PS4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn has lots to see and do. In addition to hulking robot dinosaurs that lead character Aloy can tame, murder for resources, and even climb all over, Horizon: Zero Dawn also features RPG mechanics such as crafting. With so much content packed into the game’s open-world, players could need a lot of time to unlock and access it all....

Despite the entreaties of her parents (Katherine Heigl and Harry Connick Jr.) and the threat of being hospitalized, Rain does believe in the reality of one thing: that Dani (Eugenie Bondurant), the seemingly normal teacher who lives next door, is doing something awful in her attic. Filmed before the pandemic gripped the world, Fear of Rain touches on issues of mental illness and attempts to shatter some of the misconceptions around schizophrenia in particular....

In the nearly 100 years since Walt Disney Animation Studios’ founding, it’s safe to say there never was a sight like the one facing animator Paul Briggs last March. For it was on a fateful early spring morning that the order finally came down: Raya and the Last Dragon would move its entire production—which had begun the very same month—to working from home. “I still remember the day where everybody is like, ‘We’re going home, we’re going to start building this thing from home,’” Briggs says....

It’s the season of gaming sales once again. Well, it always seems like the season for sales, what with all the anniversaries and charity events being held. Nevertheless, the holiday season is prime video game sales time, and Humble is kicking off its Fall sale with deals on PC games. As usual, you’ll find some deep discounts on beloved franchises and some indies that you really should’ve picked up a long time ago....

When Netflix first launched in 1997, it seemed like a bizarre, overly-complex concept– renting DVDs by mail that you had to select from a website, having to wait for them to be shipped to you, and then having to take them to an actual mailbox when you’re done? So much work! Why wouldn’t you just cruise on over to Blockbuster instead, where you could actually browse physical movies and bring home the title(s) you wanted right then and there?...

While Injustice 2 has included a slew of wonderful fan favorites from the DC Universe and fantastic guest characters from other franchises as post-launch content, it’s safe to say that the forthcoming addition of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – who are fighting as one – is by far the most exciting prospect for DLC yet. While fighting game aficionados patiently wait for NetherRealm Studios to release a trailer showcasing TMNT’s abilities, the company’s creative director, Ed Boon, recently shared a screenshot showing how their combat revolves around teamwork....

It’s been quite some time since the last BioShock game saw the light of day, with no new entries in the franchise since 2013’s BioShock Infinite. However, it appears that that could possibly change as Obsidian, one of the most recent studios to be purchased Microsoft, is working in conjunction with Take-Two Interactive, the studio behind the BioShock franchise. While nothing has been confirmed quite yet, Obsidian is currently planning to announce their next game at the Video Game Awards on December 6th....

This RIVERDALE review contains spoilers. Riverdale Season 6 Episode 8 “Thus began the battle for Riverdale’s soul…” With Hiram Lodge well and truly dead (for now at least), Riverdale‘s search for a new Big Bad has yielded the arrival of Percival Pickens (Chris O’Shea), a mysterious stranger who has family ties to one of the town’s darkest periods. After initially showing up two weeks ago looking to buy the Andrews house — an offer which Archie refused with a stern “no way, bro” — Percival has been sniffing around town, trying to figure out the interpersonal relationships of the townspeople and pretty much figuring out right away all the shady shit that goes on in this supposedly ideal community....

March 3rd marks the second anniversary of the worldwide release of the Nintendo Switch. One of the most notable things about the Switch’s library is how few of the games have been delayed, with only Dark Souls Remastered and Metroid Prime 4 facing any kind of significant change to their release. There was an event to promote the release of the Nintendo Switch in 2017 that included footage of several games that were in development....

The Grand Theft Auto franchise has grown and evolved to become one of the most prolific series in modern video games. In terms of sales, Grand Theft Auto 5 is still consistently placing high in NPD reports revealing the top selling games each and every month. It’s been almost seven years since the latest installment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise, GTA 5, was released and many fans are eager for what’s next....

Even though it was released two years ago, Grand Theft Auto 5 continues to be one of the best-selling and most played games month after month. Its staying power is largely thanks to the game’s popular online offering, which Rockstar Games has consistently supported through large updates as well as paid DLC. While the free-roaming mayhem of GTA Online is definitely one of the reasons why players continue to play Grand Theft Auto 5, the game was initially able to find success thanks to its excellent single player story....

Ever since Grand Theft Auto 3, one of the joys of that series is being able to wander around open-world recreations of famous cities. Gamers have traveled to New York (Liberty City), Miami (Vice City), and a mix of LA and San Francisco (San Andreas). So with GTA 6 on the horizon, where will Rockstar Games take us next? Well, we have some suggestions. Like previous locales, each of these cities is known for their history of crime and potential for vehicular chaos....

Coin Guard Merchandise is one of the first side quests that players will be able to take on in GreedFall, and it seems that some people are having issues figuring out how to actually complete it. This quest will be found in GreedFall as soon as a cutscene with the main character’s mother is finished. GreedFall will instruct players to meet with Kurt in front of the palace, and then a cutscene will play out, and then Kurt will join the party....

The content-filled Season 6 update for Call of Duty: Warzone has had its issues, with many bugs reported since release. One grim occurrence within Warzone seemed to be another glitch, yet it appears that players themselves are making it happen. Players may see something odd falling from the sky as they take advantage of Warzone’s double XP event this weekend, as one player named Norbs1988 posted a clip within the CODWarzone subreddit showing off the weird moment....

Halo 2: Anniversary introduced a brand new kind of collectible to the Halo franchise: plush toys. There are eight plush toys spread out across the eight last levels of the game and are collectible only while remastered graphics are enabled. These plush toys appear as many of our favorite Halo characters, including John-117 himself, the Arbiter, and Cortana. Unlike the skulls or the terminals, these collectibles do not affect gameplay, nor do they provide lore....
