Most Rockstar Games fans know that the developer likes to keep its focus on one game at a time but that hasn’t stopped excitement from brewing after a GTA 6 message appeared in GTA Online. The in-game message claimed that Grand Theft Auto IV will be launching in 2019 and asked players to consult Rockstar’s official site for more information. While plenty of Grand Theft Auto Online players were sent into a tizzy by the unexpected reveal, there are plenty that know better....

I’m trying to meet up with some Rockstar representatives to walk me through the new Cayo Perico heist in GTA Online, but there’s a snag - we all keep getting murdered. It’s the first day of the Christmas holidays and it’s open season on noobs. All we want to do is go to an Ammunation store and stock up on body armour and guns. Within about 20 minutes I’ve been bombed by a jet, sniped, run over, and I’ve face-planted and killed myself while trying to escape....

Grand Theft Auto Online just doesn’t know when to stop, does it? Not only has the game given us a gigantic casino with perks and activities galore, but in the upcoming Cayo Perico Heist update, Rockstar will add in a whole new island. Cayo Perico is essentially what you can call a drug lord’s fantasy island, littered with expensive things to steal. But that’s not all. Anyone who’s played any GTA game will tell you that the radio stations play a huge part in the game....

Halo brought the world a character named Cortana who was a piece of artificial intelligence in the shape of a woman. She was often seen by John-117’s side as they formed a loyal bond that couldn’t be broken after so many adventures together. Fans love this character and often choose to show their appreciation in the form of fan art. They utilize various mediums, like paint or colored pencils, to bring this character to life on a canvas....

343 Industries announces the first free DLC pack details for Halo 5: Guardians called Battle of Shadow and Light, which includes new maps, modes, and REQ content. Microsoft and 343 Industries promised players that Halo 5: Guardians would be getting not only meaningful DLC post-release but that all future maps would be free as well. Sticking to that plan, the first content update for November, called Battle of Shadow and Light, has finally been revealed and looks to add not only new content for players to unlock, but also additional modes and maps....

A Halo Infinite developer has clarified that just because Master Chief has a grappling hook doesn’t mean he’s suddenly going to start swinging through the air, Spider-Man style. It was only a few days ago that we got our first look at Halo Infinite’s gameplay. There were a lot of things to discover, including a brand new weapon and a new forcefield projector that provides Master Chief with on-demand cover, but perhaps the most interesting thing revealed during the gameplay trailer was that Master Chief now has a grappling hook....

I enjoyed and even loved Happiest Season, Hulu’s new lesbian Christmas romantic comedy. But like pretty much any queer person with a pulse and a Twitter account, I’ve spent the last week dissecting some of the more troubling aspects of a movie that was meant to be romantic escapist fun. Some of its issues come from the structure of the film, which shoehorns very real queer struggles into wacky rom-com tropes too fluffy to contain the stakes at hand....

Warning: contains spoilers for Happy Valley Series 3 Episode 1. It’s as if it never went away. After a six year wait, Happy Valley is back and it’s as strong as ever. The characters, the dialogue, the plot and the stakes in this exceptional drama are just as vibrant and entertaining as they were when Sgt Cawood first introduced herself, fire extinguisher in hand, calmly summing up her life story to a petrol-soaked junkie threatening to set himself alight....

On April 25, 2018, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery launched for both iOS and Android mobile devices. The first title released under the Portkey Games label, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery was an instant hit, generating significant interest in Harry Potter fans and skyrocketing to the top of the mobile gaming charts. Two years after its release, developer Jam City is celebrating Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery’s anniversary with a special contest for fans....

As the world continues to fight the coronavirus with social distancing and lots of hand washing, video games that usually require time outside and group gatherings are changing their strategy to keep players engaged. Harry Potter: Wizards Unite has already cancelled some March events that would’ve involved large group gatherings, but the game is trying to do what it can to stay relevant during this cautious period of time. Trainers who play Pokemon GO noticed a lot of changes that made the game more playable without leaving the house and now it seems like Niantic is also rolling out similar changes for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite....

Earlier this year, the Hearthstone team kicked off the game’s Year of the Phoenix with the release of the phenomenal Ashes of Outland expansion. Both that expansion and the name of the game’s current content year sent a clear message that the Hearthstone team is looking to restore the CCG to glory in the minds of those who may have walked away over the years. That brings us to Scholomance Academy....

Secret doors, a burnt diary in the fireplace, suspects galore, and a secluded, misty mansion in the middle of Dartmoor, England - Death in the Family has all the ingredients for the perfect whodunit, and Agent 47 is smack bang in the middle of it all with a crosshair on the suspicious matriarch who finds herself in the stranglehold of her family legacy. Spoilers ahead for the Dartmoor, England mission in Hitman 3...

There are many Indie games that explore the Roguelite genre since these developers have more freedom over the direction that their games take. With this control, Indie game developers have the opportunity to experiment with the atmosphere of the game’s world as well as the combat style and mechanics. Holomento is an upcoming Indie game within the Roguelite genre that scheduled to be available on Steam next year, yet Sean Weech, the game’s developer, is pushing the boundaries that many have come to expect from these types of games....

Slated to launch later this month, The Medium looks to be the first major horror release of 2021, tasking players with entering a world of ghostly entities and creepy mysteries. The title will be Bloober Team’s first original project since its work on Blair Witch back in 2019, with the title slated to hit PC and Xbox consoles. Players on PC are likely wondering what they can expect from The Medium when it comes to graphical fidelity, especially as the title looks to be benefiting significantly from the power of the Xbox Series X’s enhanced SSD and visual capabilities....

In June 1976, 20th Century Fox released a horror film called The Omen. Backed by a vivid marketing campaign (“You are one day closer to the end of the world”), starring Hollywood legend Gregory Peck and shot by a little-known director named Richard Donner (Superman: The Movie), the relatively low-budget ($2 million) thriller became one of the biggest and most-talked about hits of that year. Written by David Seltzer, The Omen featured Peck as Robert Thorn, a rising politician who is manipulated into adopting an orphaned baby after his own son dies in childbirth....

For a series known for many things, Pokemon Sword and Shield isn’t particularly well renowned for having a ton of Easter eggs. Sure, these games include tons of secrets, and the Crown Tundra DLC brings back hundreds of Pokemon from the past, but hidden characters are almost never a thing. As it turns out, however, a certain villainous secretary can be found in the new frozen region if you know what to do....

Tired Gamers recently announced How to Make a Killing has been awarded the Tired Gamers Re-launch Scholarship, giving the video game and its indie studio 0Dark&Nerdy $1,000 and a second chance to make a killing.

Crytek’s Hunt: Showdown continues to evolve. With the relatively small update 1.4.9 of Hunt: Showdown having been released recently, much larger things are right around the corner. In fact, Crytek has been laying bread crumbs of what players can expect with the next update. The roadmap for Hunt: Showdown has long detailed the idea of custom ammunition, and now it seems as if that implementation in-game will arrive very soon....
