Hollow Knight’s sprawling world is inhabited by a unique range of tribes and groups that claim home to the many different areas of Hallownest. But though it’s easy to see how they all imprint their own culture onto their surroundings, as with the game’s cryptic narrative, deciphering their lore and history is no easy task. However, there’s much more to discover beneath the surface than is offered by the brief codex entries of these bugs within the Hunter’s Journal....

Production on HBO’s first Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is now underway. And we don’t even have to take the network’s word for it this time, as over the weekend grainy, far away photos and videos of actors in costume began to emerge on social media. Since we all clearly can’t help but snoop, HBO has decided just to go ahead and release high quality photos of said actors in costume....

Chrono Trigger is one of the greatest video games of all time, if not the greatest. One of the reasons why gamers are still talking about Chrono Trigger after all of these years is because of its memorable cast, and few characters are as forgettable as Frog — the valiant knight who was cursed into becoming a human-sized frog. On the surface, Frog seems like a joke character. He is clearly inspired by The Frog Prince fairy tale, with the joke being that he turned into a man-sized frog that could fight with a sword and shield....

Humankind is an upcoming historical strategy game developed by Amplitude Studios. The game is set to launch in just a few months, but more details are continuing to be revealed as the title moves closer to the release date. As Amplitude Studios is a developer that likes to focus on modding tools and the community within its games, it recently released a dev blog to its fans about its plans on that topic for Humankind....

There are plenty of games to look forward to in 2021 - Monster Hunter is returning to Nintendo, It Takes Two features bizarre co-op, and Outriders will hopefully not suck. But the sleeper hit of the year could be an update to an Early Access title. Baldur’s Gate 3 already has a wonderful foundation seeped in D&D lore and fun strategic combat. Once it irons out the bugs and puts out more content, it’ll be a real contender....

There was a time when Indiana Jones was a pretty popular piece of media to adapt into video games. Three blockbuster Indiana Jones movies released in the 1980s, and so the franchise spun off into everything from books to comics, which also inspired no small number of game adaptations in the 1990s and 2000s. After that, the franchise fell out of vogue. Now, however, there’s a new Indiana Jones game on the horizon....

Hoaxes have always been a part the video game community. Since gaming increased in popularity in the early 1980s, rumors spread about exclusive content. Most gamers want to be the first to make the news go viral to gain popularity. Others may be heavily invested in a series and wait impatiently for news on a new game. Gamers deliberately spread this false information to weed out the casual and hardcore gamers....

Amid the slew of details that have been released about Marvel’s Spider-Man, some fans still had some questions regarding the title. In particular, one fan took to Twitter to ask the game’s developer, Insomniac, “How long till it comes to Xbox?” The answer was short and to the point, but probably not what the fan was hoping to hear. The developer simply responded by saying “never.” While some developers who had primarily made games for one console or console family have branched out and went on to make multi-platform titles, like Bungie did with Destiny, some stick with the console brand they know best....

Some Warzone players are starting to argue that elements of the game make it pay-to-win, and they might have a point. Developers and publishers of battle royale games have to tread incredibly carefully in order to not upset large chunks of their player bases. There will be no avoiding it to some extent, but the less annoyed that player base is, the better. The one thing that will get the players of a free-to-play BR game more annoyed than anything in the world?...

What is he hiding under there? That is typically what the denizens of Gotham might ask in a Dark Knight movie about the Batman himself. But in the new The Batman trailer, the audience are the ones left to speculate about why we never see the face of Paul Dano’s the Riddler, who is only referred to in the new sizzle reel footage as a “serial killer.” With his taped on mask and oversized glasses, Dano’s Riddler initially looks like something out of a David Fincher movie....

Though it may be 1,000 pages, Stephen King’s horror masterpiece IT keeps the fear and terror flowing with the introduction of Pennywise the Dancing Clown, one of horror’s most iconic monsters. The 1980 mini-series starring Tim Curry frightened fans at the time of its release, but it wasn’t until the 2017 reboot that the full extent of Pennywise’s chilling powers was explored. As an unassuming clown, Pennywise lured children to him with promises of fun, only to feed on their fear once they realized that his idea of fun included flaying their flesh from their bones....

Grand Theft Auto has quite a reputation. For good or for bad, this series has nonetheless been revolutionary thanks to the things that it added to the open-world sandbox, memorable characters and absolutely interesting stories that deal with crime as fans know it. Of course what many may not know is that the original Grand Theft Auto games, mainly one and two were radically different. So as a way of putting in knowledge on how much different, it would be fun to see how much GTA2 and GTA3 compare to one another....

The Grand Theft Auto franchise is best known for its open-world element, but the games’ storytelling has been consistently brilliant over the years and each installment has featured unforgettable characters. So, a film adaptation of the games might be on the cards one day, especially as franchises dominate more and more of the moviegoing landscape and studios grab at any existing intellectual property they can turn into the next MCU....

With the recent surge in interest surrounding role-playing in Grand Theft Auto 5, which is due, in no small part, to the myriad of popular Twitch streamers that are currently focusing on GTA RP, a great number of new players are certain to be looking for a server to call their home. For some of these players, getting started may feel overwhelming, and many may be left with one critical question: What is the best GTA 5 RP server to play on?...

For the longest time, Rockstar Games’ 2013 blockbuster has continued to break sales records and player numbers. Shortly after Grand Theft Auto 5 released, Rockstar Games introduced a simple-but-fun online mode titled Grand Theft Auto Online. Many theorized this would be the start of a serious expansion of multiplayer for the game, and after a short period of lacking multiplayer content, suddenly Grand Theft Auto Online exploded in popularity. Gameplay features like heists and office management added a ton of depth and complexity to the game....

The Cayo Perico Heist was one the biggest updates for GTA Online. A whole island was added to the game, filled with riches for players to plunder via the game’s Ocean’s Eleven styled heist sequences. While co-op play is recommended, these heists can be performed solo, and feature some intense sequences to get to the score. However, one Redditor has found a shortcut that completes one of those sequences in under a minute, and with barely any resistance....

A Grand Theft Auto Twitch streamer with muscular dystrophy bid a tearful farewell from his roleplay server last weekend. Grand Theft Auto V isn’t just for people to crash airplanes into buildings in order to steal money from a vault. Some people prefer to play out their regular lives in Grand Theft Auto like a slightly more robust version of Second Life. Twitch streamer Airborne plays as a judge on the GTA V roleplay server Nopixel....

Despite the fact that the original Guitar Hero, which was released more than ten years ago in 2005, has been declared as officially dead, there are still players pushing for new records and high scores. There have been some very impressive attempts at getting perfect scores in the past, but up until this weekend, no one in the world has managed to get a perfect score, or a full combo, on the game’s most difficult song at 150 percent speed....

It used to be that ‘remake’ was something of a dirty word in horror after audiences were bombarded with substandard do-overs at the start of the 2000s (The Omen, The Wicker Man, The Last House on the Left, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, we could go on…) But despite early cynicism David Gordon Green’s new take on John Carpenter’s seminal stalk ‘n slash was well received by fans and critics alike and did great box office....
