IGN took an in-depth look at both the new PS5 DualSense and the Xbox Series X controllers. Before we’re even given a hint of what the new PlayStation 5 will look like, Sony has revealed the DualSense controller. It’s a significant departure from previous designs and one that will surely set the PS5 apart from its counterparts. A new two-tone color design perhaps signals at the PS5 being a mostly white console, while the new shape takes a page out of the Xbox playbook by giving it a more ergonomic shape....

Imagine that Ancient Greek gods with the charm of Nintendo characters invaded an Assassin’s Creed game, and that’s Immortals Fenyx Rising in a nutshell. Ubisoft Quebec’s charming and funny (it’s all very Pixar) action-adventure game may not be the biggest open-world adventure around, but it’s a delight. It’s worth any gamer’s time to glide, fight, and collect loot as a demi-god. The game has 36 Vaults of Tartaros to conquer (think of them as the equivalent of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s many Shrines), some of which represent the best variety and unadulterated fun in the game....

The release dates for the three upcoming DLCs for Ubisoft game Immortals Fenyx Rising, A New God, The Lost Gods, and Myths of the Eastern Realm, have seemingly been leaked online. This information comes from the Nintendo eShop, which has revealed the dates before their official release by Ubisoft. It lists the - as of now - unofficially announced dates on its store listings for each of the DLCs. According to the eShop, Immortals Fenyx Rising’s first expansion, Immortals Fenyx Rising - A New God, will be releasing on January 21st, 2021....

A demo of Baronnerie Games’ newest title, Breach Wanderers, will be available for free via Steam starting tomorrow. This card-based roguelike plays very much like Slay the Spire at first blush, but the emphasis on creative deck building from the very start encourages players to find their unique play style. The Montreal-based company is going to be holding a stream tomorrow, Wednesday, October 7th, at 10 AM PST (5 PM UTC) to celebrate the launch....

A mass exodus away from Hearthstone is happening on Youtube and Twitch right now as content creators continue to fall in love with the new auto chess genre. Some of Hearthstone’s biggest names including Dog, Firebat, Kripp, Savjz, and DisguisedToast have spent more time playing Team Fight Tactics and Dota:Underlords this month than they have Hearthstone. It isn’t surprising that Hearthstone players are transitioning into the auto chess genre. There is a lot of overlap between the two, and while auto chess isn’t card game per se, the flow of turns and level of strategy involved certainly scratches the same itch....

At the Game Awards 2019, From Software accepted the Game of the Year award for its Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. That game took the Souls formula and flipped it on its head, leaving many wanting more. More specifically, everyone wanted something more related to Elden Ring. From Software’s next Souls title is another spin-off of sorts, much like Sekiro, and is adapting that formula with an “open-field” approach. Outside that and the fact that George R....

Logan Paul and Jake Paul are undoubtedly two one of the most controversial figures on YouTube, with the brothers often stirring up trouble. The Paul brothers have used their infamy to help promote boxing matches against other YouTube stars, cutting WWE-style promos and essentially playing the “heels” in the process. Now Jake Paul is looking to do big business with his next fight, which he hopes will be against Soulja Boy....

Black Friday is here, and players should expect tons of deals from different retailers across platforms. Now, for players on the PC looking for irresistible savings on games, Green Man Gaming’s Black Friday Sale offers some of the biggest titles on the PC right now. It is worth noting that Green Man Gaming’s sale will run through December 2, 2020, giving players plenty of time to snag a deal or two....

10 The Oak Fence The Oak Fence is an area that quickly scares off new players as it is infested with spider nests. If you’re a brave soul who sees a good opportunity, then you’ll quickly realize it is an optimal location for a base. One could argue other locations offer similar benefits and way fewer risks, but what’s life without a little adventure? Building a base on the Oak Fence is best for the type of player who wants access to rarer loot at the cost of being surrounded by danger on all fronts....

Grounded has hit the backyard running with 1 million players in just 48 hours since releasing on early access. Obsidian is a big name, but they’ve never done a survival game before. No one was sure how it would turn out–least of all Obsidian–but they’re pleased to find out that yes, people will buy an Obsidian survival game. Even if it’s not technically done yet. Grounded has just released on early access on Steam and the PC Xbox Game Pass, and even though it’s only been a few days the game has already racked up over a million players....

Despite the fact that it’s been out since 2013, things are looking up for the still active Grand Theft Auto Online. Just this past month a fan found a solution to reduce load times by 70% in GTA Online, and now Rockstar has revealed that double cash and double RP are being given out in the game’s arena mode. RP, or reputation, is the experience point system in Grand Theft Auto Online that allows the player to upgrade and level up their character....

GTA Online players can net themselves double rewards for completing mobile operations missions right now, as well as an extra GTA$100k. When Sony opened its PS5 reveal event with scenes that were clearly pulled from a GTA game, the world collectively held its breath. It seemed as if that elusive GTA 6 reveal was finally upon us. That was not the case. Instead, it was news that GTA V will be coming to the next generation....

An interactive gamified “docu-book” by the name of Half-Life: Alyx - Final Hours written by veteran video games journalist Geoff Keighley was released on Steam on Thursday. Around the time of Valve’s official announcement of Half-Life: Alyx in November of last year, Keighley released a 20-minute video which included his own announcement that he’d be releasing a Final Hours documentary in 2020. The documentary, much like the ones he wrote for the original Half-Life and its sequel, would give us behind-the-scenes insight into the goings-on at Valve in the years leading up to Alyx’s release....

Although Fallout 4 is sure to give it a run for its money, many gamers are confident that Halo 5’s launch will be the gaming event of the winter. Microsoft and 343 have been hyping the release with a mysterious Serial-style podcast and the prequel series Nightfall, but the original marketing plan was even more ambitious. Fans were originally expecting a Steven Spielberg-produced Halo TV series to launch this fall, but that project seems to have gone into hiding in recent months....

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite developer Niantic has made a change to the way that Spell Energy works in the game. The changes come not long after launch as early players of the new mobile title began to complain that the game is too stingy when it comes to the important resource. In a post on Reddit, Niantic representative, hpwu_fazes thanked Harry Potter: Wizards Unite players for their feedback and confirmed that the developer is changing how much Spell Energy is given out....

This Last of Us article contains spoilers. For many longtime fans of the video game series, the third episode of The Last of Us will be a surprising shock to the system. Stepping away from Joel and Ellie’s journey, “Long Long Time” instead follows 20 years in the life of Nick Offerman’s Bill, a paranoid survivalist living on his own in the abandoned Massachusetts town of Lincoln. And the episode, a heart wrenching short story about love found at the end of the world, is a game-changer for the HBO series....

Lovers of the demon-hunting wahoo pizza man rejoice! Or… maybe not quite yet. While fans of the Devil May Cry series have seen a lot of love in recent years, one corner of gaming has continued to hurt them. Although Super Smash Brothers Ultimate seems to have almost everyone and the kitchen sink in its roster, one big name that has not yet appeared is Dante. With recent switch ports of Devil May Cry fans hoped for Dante to make his appearance, but unfortunately, these dreams were dashed away with the reveal of more Fire Emblem characters....

For those not up to date on the latest internet culture wars, it may seem strange to have been greeted on Twitter by the trending wave of #CancelNetflix. It’s a strange thing, to see one of the world’s biggest sources of entertainment have this much of a fuss kicked up around it, especially during a time when everyone’s more reliant on in-home entertainment than ever before. Strangely enough, it all began with a rather unassuming French film called Cuties....

The Mortal Kombat reboot film is now less than a month away and the HBO Max exclusive has actually managed to generate plenty of hype with a bloody R-rated trailer. However, while some opt to play their favorite Mortal Kombat games until the film’s premiere, some lucky folks have already gotten an exclusive look at the its opening scene. As more characters like Kabal get added to the list of confirmed fighters that will be butchering each other come April 16, there are still plenty of questions regarding what kind of story will take place during the first live action Mortal Kombat tournament in 23 years....

If you’ve been gaming for years, or you game on multiple platforms, you probably have a collection of controllers. I myself have two Dualshock 4s (thanks to Mega Modz), an Xbox One controller, a Switch pro controller, and several GameCube controllers. And that’s not counting the Dualshock 3, Xbox 360, various Wiimotes, and others sitting in a drawer in my closet. It’s something many of us ignore until we need more controllers for a round of Smash Bros....
