The Halo series has one of the most fascinating in-game universes in gaming. The universe of Xbox’s main franchise even has several books and comics to expand upon what unfortunately cannot be shown in the games. This includes expanding upon many of the alien races found in the series, one of those being the Sangheili, better known as the Elites. Arguably the biggest threat of the Covenant onslaught, the Elites have been around since the beginning in Combat Evolved....

The gaming industry knows now that Halo Infinite, long considered the biggest game release coinciding with the launch of the next generation of consoles, has been delayed. Perhaps due to criticism following Halo Infinite’s gameplay debut, or perhaps due to internal development issues, Xbox and 343 decided that a 2021 launch would be to the game’s benefit. If it sounds like a last resort decision, that’s because it was. Phil Spencer recently explained how the team evaluated a variety of different options before ultimately choosing to delay Halo Infinite....

It’s been quite a while since we’ve known about the forthcoming Halo TV series being in the works at Showtime, and fans of the science fiction first-person shooter franchise are undoubtedly excited to finally see an episode of the project. While we all wait for that to happen, the good news is that the show has now officially received the green light from the American premium cable and satellite network, with production beginning in early 2019....

HBO Max is finally here, and it’s robust library of movies and TV shows seems to be missing some pretty notable titles, especially with regards to DC Comics. Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, which includes Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises, is not included on the streaming platform at launch. There’s currently no way to stream the film series without renting or purchasing them, so its a bit of a surprise and disappointment that they didn’t make it onto HBO Max....

Hearthstone is a well-known game from Blizzard, allowing players to build their own decks of different spells to battle other players. Gamers can take on different classes such as Druid, Rogue, or Paladin, allowing them to acquire more cards as they play matches. By participating in certain matches and quests, players can obtain packs of cards, gold, and other useful items. However, the reward system is undergoing some changes. With the new changes to the rewards system, Hearthstone players will be receiving experience points instead of gold when playing matches....

There was a time when capturing your favorite games on camera required some real dedication. You’d pony up for an expensive capture card — plug it all in, and then set to filling your entire hard drive with hours upon hours of delicious content. Not so with the latest generation of home consoles — as both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 launched with video sharing capabilities right out of the box....

Heroes of the Storm gets a new Brawl called Blackheart’s Revenge next week that will be the first battleground to feature attack/defend mechanics and asymmetrical gameplay. It was an eventful weekend for Blizzard fans, with the developer announcing future plans for World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, and Overwatch at BlizzCon 2016. MOBA Heroes of the Storm also received some attention, with Blizzard putting together an epic trailer to announce Varian Wrynn and Ragnaros as the next two heroes to join the game’s roster....

Although Death Stranding released in November of 2019, Norman Reedus and Hideo Kojima still look to have projects lined up together in the near future. In a recent interview with Wired, Reedus answered a variety of questions that appear on Google, including the grammatically incorrect, “Why Norman Reedus death stranding?” In the clip below, Reedus explains how he became involved with the project. Reedus states that, “We did Death Stranding, which was a huge hit, and we’re in talks to do other stuff....

While many Overwatch players are currently enjoying the Summer Games event, it seems that other players are busy being furniture. As shared by one gamer, there is a visual glitch in the game that is turning characters into doors. The result is confusing, hilarious, and really adds a new twist to the summer event. While Overwatch still has plenty of life left in it before its sequel releases, some wear is starting to show....

Hitman 3 has shot to No. 1 in the UK boxed charts, with launch sales up 17% over 2018’s Hitman 2. The third-person stealth game, which was developed and published by IO Interactive for Microsoft Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia, and Nintendo Switch on January 20 2021, is the final game in the World of Assassination trilogy, but not be the last game in the franchise, according to its developers....

Guerrilla Games, the studio behind the upcoming Horizon: Zero Dawn, lifts the veil on the development of tough female protagonist and cosplay hit, Aloy. Developer Guerrilla Games has released a video in which the team talks about how Aloy, the protagonist in the studio’s upcoming title Horizon: Zero Dawn, came about as a character. From the very moment the game was announced, Aloy became an icon in the cosplay scene thanks to her rugged looks and determined stare....

Although the main story of Horizon Zero Dawn is gripping from start to finish, it’s hard to ignore the plethora of side-quests available to Aloy once she begins her adventure. From the moment she comes of age and prepares to take part in The Proving, NPCs around the world will have something for her to do to pass the time. Some of these side quests are fairly simple, making Aloy use her Focus to find a missing person or tracking down certain materials that an NPC just can’t seem to find, but there are others that are true tests of your skills in gameplay and may cause Aloy to perish long before her journey is complete....

Dark Souls 3 certainly has no shortage of mods available to change up the experience. From randomizers to challenges to turning the game into something akin to Pokemon, the Souls modding community has been keeping themselves busy for years now. One of the most popular options is Cinders, a massive overhaul that essentially restructures Dark Souls 3 from the ground up. The mod received its 1.92 update last month, but it was originally uploaded by modder Xylozi back in the simpler times of January 2019....

A critical character in Dune, both the novel and all three screen adaptations of it, is Duke Leto Atreides, head of the powerful Atreides family and father of the story’s protagonist, Paul Atreides. The Atreides are one of many noble families who wield immense power in this galactic empire of the far future, and Duke Leto is given control by the Emperor of perhaps the most important planet in the galaxy — Arrakis, also known as Dune....

Game of Thrones may have concluded its story in a divisively pyrrhic fashion, but the franchise isn’t being exactly left in ashes, thanks to several upcoming spinoff shows supported by creator George R.R. Martin’s purportedly eight-figure, five-year deal recently signed with HBO. However, it appears that the mythology, adapted from Martin’s novels, is set to invade another arena, a Broadway stage, with a Game of Thrones play now in development. Interestingly, rather than rehashing the show, the play will instead showcase a heretofore unseen storyline crucial to the hit TV series....

Thanks to EA making a few tweaks to the gameplay, UFC 4 is a far more accessible title for new players than ever before. The submission system adopts a similar mechanic to the WWE 2K series and even the UFC Undisputed series. However, it is easier to take advantage by opting to select a good striker and spam hooks and straights in rapid succession to score an easy knockout. Even for experienced players, it’s hard to get away from these punches and getting hit with an early knockdown will mean it’s difficult to regain momentum....
