If you’re a part of any pop culture fandom, then you’ve probably visited a wiki page or two for reference. The fan-made databases are reliable sources of information on their particular fandoms, and Grim Fandango developer Tim Schafer is openly thankful that they exist. Tim Schafer is a renowned designer of Psychonauts and Broken Age, founder of Double Fine Productions, and a veteran of LucasArts. The designer is a household name within the video game industry, and the 2018 British Academy Game Awards awarded him the BAFTA Fellowship, which is the ceremony’s highest accolade....

Hades, the latest roguelike from Supergiant Games, has finally arrived on Nintendo Switch, and will be playable for all Switch users later today. Hades has been in Early Access on PC since September 2018. After a number of iterations over the last two years, it was recently revealed that Hades would be coming to Nintendo Switch. However, there was no official release date - until now. For those unacquainted with the game, Hades sees Zagreus, son of Hades, repeatedly attempting to escape the undead clutches of the Underworld....

Yesterday’s delay of Cyberpunk 2077 into December was met with negative reception, much like pretty much anything related to video games on the internet. Fans were furious that developer CD Projekt Red had promised not even a full day earlier that the title would be receiving “No More Delays,” yet here comes yet another delay that may not even be the last. Look, I’ve been critical of the company in the past....

Popular esports organization FaZe Clan begins to trend on Twitter after posting what seems to be an April Fools’ Day prank. FaZe Clan has been criticized in the past after Fortnite pro Tfue sued the organization for allegedly breaking the law with a contract. On Twitter, FaZe Clan said that it is “recruiting somebody who responds to this Tweet” and told people to “be in the replies if you want to join FaZe”....

Imagine having Joy-Con drift during a global pandemic. It’s a first-world problem to be sure, but one that has changed how I play Nintendo Switch games. Smash is unaffected thanks to the GameCube controller, thankfully, but I’ve had to incorporate a spinning camera into my Ninjala technique. My girlfriend has proven to be an elite gamer, as she’s almost finished a 900-korok run in Breath of the Wild with drifting Joy-Cons....

This article contains House of the Dragon episode 3 spoilers. For the lords and ladies of Westeros, marriage is as much a political contract as a social one. At least that’s how it’s presented to the highborn women of the realm, who time and again we’ve seen traded like bargaining chips: Sansa to Joffrey in Game of Thrones, then to Tyrion and finally Ramsay Bolton (gag). Margaery Tyrell to Joffrey next, and then his younger brother Tommen when that didn’t work out....

It’s often exhausting to live in contemporary America—and not, generally, the fulfilling kind of exhausting, either. We spend our days at bullshit jobs (she writes, affectionately) making less money than we need in order to get out of debt, contributing to crowdfunding campaigns to pay our friends and colleagues’ medical bills, and then we go home and consume stories about how dark an imagined past was or an imagined future will be, pretending the story we’re consuming isn’t actually about the dystopian world we’re currently living in....

In less than two weeks Halo fans will be able to test their mettle once again in the online battlefields of Halos 1-4 as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Each title within the Collection will be represented as it was originally, meaning those who still got it will likely be able to dominate online opponents. To that point, Microsoft and 343 Industries have further detailed the ranking system in Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and as it turns out very little has changed....

Video games can be a fantastic way to unwind. They let players explore new worlds and experience a range of challenges. Gaming can take you to new places and allow you to test your reflexes and your brain. It’s much more interactive than just watching TV, which appeals to a wide audience. However, what happens when it all goes wrong? Sometimes a level or puzzle is difficult to beat and other times there’s an online opponent who you swear must be cheating....

Developer Easy Trigger Games’ Huntdown is a love letter to 80s video games with a splash of modern flair. Part Robocop, part Contra, and a little bit of Blade Runner, Huntdown presents players with a fast-paced side scrolling shooter/platformer that can be punishing at times but is consistently a joy to experience. The basic setup for Huntdown puts the player in control of one of three bounty hunters: Anna Conda, John Sawyer, or Mow Man....

If you’re trying to find the perfect place to showcase your next-gen console, then it seems that Ikea is the perfect place to go. There were a few things we were surprised by as Xbox and PlayStation slowly started to reveal details about their respective next-gen consoles. The games being released at launch, the features each console would boast, and most annoyingly the reluctance of both companies to reveal how much they would cost....

Players have discovered a glitch in Call of Duty: Warzone that affects the Riot Shield. While some fans say that the controversial item should be left bugged to discourage its use, Infinity Ward has announced that they are currently working to fix the problem. The Riot Shield has been controversial in Call of Duty: Warzone due to the negative play styles the shield encourages. While using this item, players can block massive amounts of damage and can even keep normally lethal damage from killing players that have the Riot Shield equipped....

As one of the biggest forms of entertainment, awarding Take-Two Interactive a whopping $500 million in 2019 alone, no one is questioning the behemoth that is Grand Theft Auto V and its multiplayer substitute GTA Online. Arriving on the PS5 (and, presumably, on the Series X, as well) with more content and better graphics, it’s pretty clear it’s Rockstar’s main focus going well into the near future. This massive title likewise has a massive following, but maybe it’s not all sunshine and roses - or, at least in San Andreas, exotic car races and multi-million dollar bank heists....
