One such example is a new mod that turns Halo 3 from first-person into third person, replete with a high-quality Master Chief model....
Although there had been rumors of Valve’s VR headset development dating as far back as a few years ago, it was only this weekend that the company made things official. Or rather, things were made official for them when HTC revealed Vive, the company’s new VR headset developed in conjunction with Valve. At a glance, the Vive headset sounds like a promising addition to the VR space, and its use of base stations for interactive movement has us very intrigued....
This article contains Morbius spoilers. The superhero vampire movie Morbius is now available on Netflix. It’s an unremarkable movie (at best), but it’s gained notoriety through memes and bad reviews. But thanks to Netflix, more eyes will be on Matt Smith’s sexy dance moves and Jared Leto’s slow-motion, brushstroke-enhanced acrobatics than probably in the entirety of its disappointing theatrical run. Well…no. But also yes. Morbius is MCU adjacent, so kind of....
During my time as a journalist, I’ve investigated a few ways that video games can have a significant impact on our lives outside of functioning as a hobby. Sure, they can be a way to escape from the world around us, and they can also be a great way to blow off steam and frustration we’ve gained throughout the day. In addition, video games can also be a useful tool in aiding both depression and anxiety....
“Bond, James Bond.” It’s one of the greatest lines of dialogue in movie history—the 22nd best ever, according to the AFI—but if you say it to five people, they will likely think of five different scenes. Will it be Sean Connery who springs to mind with the original utterance, cigarette drooping from his mouth, a look of simultaneous boredom and excitement twinkling in his eye? Or maybe it’ll look like a more recent vintage with Daniel Craig’s own iconic 007 standing over a foe while holding a machine gun?...

Grand Theft Auto Online has a nearly endless list of property that players can purchase and own, ranging from fancy cars to apartments to full-fledged in-game businesses. Unfortunately, a major bug undid all that, as properties simply vanished from players’ accounts.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick opens up about virtual reality at a recent conference, suggesting that the technology is currently ’too expensive’ for most video game players. The growth of virtual reality technology in gaming is certainly an exciting prospect for many, but the issue has also led to some less than positive opinions on the matter. In particular, some gamers and critics have raised concerns over the price of the headsets that are currently or soon to be on the market, with some suggestions that virtual reality is too expensive for the average gamer....
There are a number of professions for players to step into in Guild Wars 2. Each has their own unique advantages and playstyles that ensures every player can do what they want. Even better are the subclasses that give further complexity to things. But over time, it has become apparent that some professions are better than others.

Blizzard’s changes have not received as much attention as they might have during any other part of the year, both because there is always excitement surrounding a new rotation, but also because they often tinker with the ranked formula in smaller, less impactful ways....

The Guyer High School Wildcat Marching Band performs music from Destiny during a district marching band competition, catching the attention of developer Bungie in the process. In a nearly 8-minute long performance, the Guyer High School Wildcat Marching Band from Texas performed their rendition of music from Destiny. Choosing to perform music from the Destiny soundtrack is not only an intriguing choice, but a risky one: the performance will help to determine whether the band carries on from The Golden Triangle Classic district competition to the regional competition....
