Although the game’s release on Xbox One dropped in 2014, Halo: The Master Chief Collection’s arrival on PC has been more gradual than its console counterpart. Halo: Reach made its way to the platform last December, with Halo 3 following suit last July and Halo 3: ODST launching in September. The final game to join the comprehensive bundle of titles is Halo 4, with the action-packed 2012 reboot of the franchise officially available on PC now....

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery may get its fair share of criticism, but the game has also developed a dedicated fanbase that has taken to some of its quirks and characters. In particular, the character Merula Snyde has been embraced by fans, with the Internet full of art and stories dedicated to the Slytherin student. However, if our theory is correct, those who like Merula may want to cherish the time they still have with her because we have reason to believe she is going to be killed off....

Resident Evil Village will feature a pair of returning characters, with one perhaps taking on a new role as the game’s villain. Last week, we got to see the announcement trailer for Resident Evil 8, or Resident Evil Village, as Capcom prefers to call it. The trailer showcased a creepy European village that has become a hotspot for what appears to be werewolves, taking Resident Evil in a more classical horror direction....

The world of Overwatch has been crossing over into Heroes of the Storm in a big way as of late, and it all appears to be tying into the game’s big 2.0 update. Featuring loot boxes in a similar fashion to Overwatch, the latest update is bringing with it several major nods to Blizzard’s blockbuster first-person shooter. Of course, this all means that it was only a matter of time before other heroes joined the fray, and the developer surprised everyone today by confirming yet another new character joining the crossover-centric MOBA in the form of D....

Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear Solid franchise and director of the forthcoming Death Stranding, explains why he can’t stop making video games. Even after having gone through the wringer with one the most promising projects in recent memory getting the axe—that is, the now-cancelled horror game Silent Hills—while also enduring what many essentially considered to be a stressful and creative strain with his maintaining of an arduous love-hate relationship with Konami, it seems as if Hideo Kojima couldn’t step away from the video game industry if he tried....

This review contains spoilers. 1.7 The Fight To The Death “We thought book one could not be adapted in fewer than eight episodes,” said His Dark Materials producer Jane Tranter at October’s launch event, “and I didn’t want to push my luck asking for more than eight.” Absolutely, quite right. No complaints here. Except, if Tranter had pushed her luck to the tune of an extra five minutes for this week’s episode, a few things things might have been better explained....

Sabotage tools in Hitman 3 consist of the crowbar, wrench, screwdriver, and rat poison, and have a variety of uses, depending on the map and given situation. While they can obviously be used as weapons or distractions, they often have a useful sabotage effect on each map. This guide will show you where to find the sabotage tools and some of the best places to use them, utilizing the default tool loadout and starting point....

Hitman 2 opened with what’s perhaps the series’ most intimate assassination. I mean, sure, we murdered a guy taking a bath in the previous games, but there’s something about a home invasion that somehow feels more dishonourable than shooting a naked dude. You stalk up the moonlit and windswept beach of Hawke’s Bay, roaring waves at your back, and break into the beachside house. If you wait long enough, you can hide out in the target’s bedroom and wait for them to go to sleep before smothering them with a pillow next to their slumbering spouse....

There are plenty of different elements that go into designing a good game, but the bosses might very well be the most important. A good boss fight includes challenging gameplay that still manages to encourage the player to keep trying, all while tying itself into a heightened part of the narrative. If done correctly, nothing makes a game more addictive. In essence, boss fights are a balancing act. You want the experience to feel daunting enough to establish a serious challenge while still leaving you an opening to learn and get better each time....

As we eagerly await the release of NetherRealm’s upcoming fighting game Injustice 2, some new gameplay footage has surfaced, courtesy of iZombie’s Rahul Kohli. In an interview with community specialist for NetherRealm, Tyler Lansdown, the actor discusses what’s new in the upcoming game when compared to its predecessor, Injustice: Gods Among Us. According to Lansdown, a newly-implemented gear system should be a cause of much excitement for Injustice 2 fans. After each fight, players will receive new pieces of gear which allows them to customise the look of their favorite fighters....

Director Zack Snyder’s DC Extended Universe debut, 2013’s Man of Steel, may have delivered respectable global box office numbers ($668 million) in showcasing star Henry Cavill, but it wasn’t an acclaimed watershed pop culture moment that guaranteed Warner Bros. a money-printing, Marvel Cinematic Universe-style operation. Thus, 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice saw Snyder expedite an introduction to a new Batman—just four years after the end of Christopher Nolan’s beloved trilogy—on the stardom of Ben Affleck....

It’s a well-covered aspect of Sean Connery lore that the legendary Scottish actor and alpha James Bond retired from acting following 2003’s disastrous The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. “The last one I did, [director Stephen Norrington] was given $85 million to make a movie in Prague, but unfortunately he wasn’t certified before he started because he would have been arrested for insanity,” Connery told an interviewer in 2007. “So, we worked as well as we could, and [I] ended up being heavily involved in the editing and trying to salvage....

Even some of its biggest fans would agree that Skyrim’s main quest isn’t the game’s strongest suit. The Elder Scrolls 6 is on the way, and many fans will be hoping that the main questline will be more compelling the next time around. While The Elder Scrolls 5 provides a huge open world and almost unlimited freedom to explore that setting, in order to help achieve that level openness it deprioritizes its main quest to the point where most of the game’s most memorable moments take place in other questlines, or as random occurrences in the world....

Back in the late 1990s, things didn’t look so hot for superhero movies. Warner Bros. Pictures crashed its Batman franchise into the ground with 1997’s disastrous Batman and Robin and showed no signs of resurrecting either that or any of its other DC comics heroes. Meanwhile, with the one bright exception of 1998’s Blade, not a single Marvel Comics character had made it to the big screen in a meaningful way....

A brand new patch is available now for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone. The update is jam-packed with new playlists, updates to gameplay, bug fixes, and more for both the battle royale and Modern Warfare. Updating this patch is a bit trickier than usual, and the size of the April 28 download is not small, so fans will want to jump on it sooner rather than later. Instead of the standard one and done download, Activision seems to have split the download into two parts....

Minecraft is absolutely huge, and very few would argue with that. With enough time, players can build expansive worlds with interconnecting cities, landmarks, and other features, but getting between the two can be difficult. The Nether has always been one common solution players have used for traveling between their creations more quickly, but now it’s even faster. It’s probably common knowledge for most veteran Minecraft players by now, but newer players may not be aware of this peculiar fact about the Nether....

What We Do in the Shadows on FX is a supernatural comedy that allows its characters to go beyond all of the powers and vulnerabilities that viewers expect of vampires, while still honoring the tradition established by the bloodsuckers that preceded them. In fact, the humor of a particular scene often stems from the subversion of the archetype, whereas the more expected wooden stakes and sunlight vulnerabilities are reserved for story arcs where the danger is more serious and real....
