If Fortnite’s most recent matchmaking changes have gotten you as confused as we were at first, don’t panic, here is how pairing now works following the v8.10 patch. While Fortnite has revolutionized the gaming world in a number of ways, one of the biggest things it has accomplished to date is breaking down the wall between Sony and Microsoft. Players have been clamoring for cross-platform play between PlayStation and Xbox and thanks to Fortnite, we now have that....

In the two years since the release of Fallout 4, millions of players have scoured the Commonwealth wasteland for clues, hidden items, secrets, and easter eggs referencing other games, movies, and comic books. Some of these secrets are easy to find and meant to be discovered by the average player but some, like the ones listed below, are either so buried or hidden in plain sight that only the combined efforts of tons of players could have sniffed them out....

The seemingly never ending battle between comic juggernauts Marvel and DC still rages on to this day. However, there is a definite shift in the balance between these two rivals as we have been firmly established into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. DC has countered with its own DC Extended Universe in hopes of luring away a chunk of the superhero market. This hasn’t really worked out in their favour, though, as Marvel’s meticulous planning and execution of its story arcs has meant it has well and truly inched ahead of its rival in terms of popularity and success....

Google Nexus 7 The Nexus 7 started Google’s tablet experiments in 2012, offering good value for money, but with no Flash support, no streaming services worked. Google Nexus 10 Moving to 10-inches, the 2012 Nexus 10 had a really high resolution - higher than the current iPads - but the lack of apps highlighted its shortcomings. Google Nexus 7 (2013) Google updated the Nexus 7 in 2013, giving hope that this was the start of a trend, but alas, it was Google’s last 7-inch tablet....

Now that the newest Hitman game has wrapped up its pre-planned episodic launch content, it’s fair to say IO Interactive and Square Enix’s latest endeavor will go down in franchise history as one of the best. The new Hitman delivered on all counts, innovating the series enough to keep it relevant in the modern era of open world sandbox games and consistent DLC while maintaining the qualities that have made Hitman so charming....

Touted as one of the biggest next-generation titles coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X early next year, it seems Hitman 3 players on PC should also be anticipating a switch in platform when playing the upcoming sequel at launch. Announced via a news update on developer IO Interactive’s website, it seems the game will be a PC launch exclusive on the Epic Games Store, opting to switch to the incredibly influential games’ launcher over its main rival Steam....

Developer Sumo Digital tends to be known for its racing games like Forza: Horizon 4 and super stylized games like Sackboy: A Big Adventure. However, the developer seems to be stepping out of its comfort zone with new pvp game Hood: Outlaws and Legends. This won’t be Sumo Digital’s first encounter with PvP games, but this will definitely be unique compared to any other games it has released previously. Hood: Outlaws and Legends takes place in a medieval world where players must work together, or fight each other, to earn treasures—whether it be by stealth or brutal combat....

About a week ago, Guerrilla Games officially announced the forthcoming release of Horizon: Zero Dawn’s Complete Edition, which will not only contain the open world action-adventure’s base game, but also its DLC known as The Frozen Wilds.

While the latest iterations of Samsung smartphones seem far more technologically advanced and durable, that’s not to say users still can’t encounter issues that cause a Samsung device to break. For example, you may find that your Samsung phone doesn’t get past the Samsung logo screen, or you’ve accidentally locked your device due to incorrect password attempts. Alternatively, your Samsung may have encountered water damage meaning you can’t access the screen, or the screen has been smashed and therefore you can’t view any information on your device....

This article contains spoilers for WANDAVISION. WandaVision‘s stunning finale alters the landscape of the MCU by posing a series of questions that set up Marvel Studios’ biggest post-Endgame plans. It’s could be years until we get definitive answers to all of those questions, but there’s little doubt that we’ll eventually look back on WandaVision as the bold experiment that laid the groundwork for whatever comes next. Still, there’s a good chance that when people think back on WandaVision years from now, it won’t be the MCU elements of the show they remember most fondly....

As the year winds down, streaming services appear to be taking a step back, licking their wounds from this strange pandemic production season, and looking to a hopefully brighter future. This is all to say that Hulu‘s list of new releases for December 2020 isn’t quite its most inspiring batch yet…and that’s OK. Hulu’s biggest original title this month is undoubtedly The Hardy Boys. This adaptation of the classic boy detective novels is aimed at younger audiences and will premiere on Dec....

Innocence is rife throughout Nier: Automata. Its main characters exist in a world that is doomed, occupied by little more than wayward machines and smatterings of wildlife that thrive off cities that have long surrendered themselves to nature. Each new discovery is a marvel to 9S and 2B, their status as obedient androids to a higher power making their prime directive priority above all else, but curiosity always seeps through the cracks, with our duo of protagonists making acute observations on the ruined planet they so eagerly explore....

If you, like me, have been playing Pokemon for two decades and aren’t from Japan, France, the US, or the UK, you’ve probably entertained the idea of what a Pokemon game based on your country could look like. Perhaps it’s a game set in China that includes floating mountains inspired by Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, or a story that takes place in the Rajastani forts of India. Maybe you’re from Egypt and would love to see Game Freak take on the Valley of the Kings, or you grew up in Iceland and are keen for some volcanic glaciers like the ones you’d see on the Ring of Fire....

2015 is arguably one of the best year for Star Wars fans in decades. Not only is the highly anticipated Episode 7: The Force Awakens set to hit theaters this December, but also EA and DICE are prepping the return of Star Wars Battlefront, complete with epic ship battles and explosive first-person gameplay. On their own, fans would be satisfied with just the movie and the new Battlefront, but rumors indicate that another announcement related to a certain galaxy far, far away is coming by the end of the year....

Anthem‘s rise and fall is one of those stories that will almost certainly be told countless times in the coming years as we all try to wrap our heads around how a project that had so much going for it fell so hard and fast with hardly a chance to pick itself up. In some ways, it felt like the game was cursed. However, if the recent news that Anthem‘s reboot was canceled got you thinking of another live-service game that got off to a pretty rough start…well, you’re not alone....

Grand Theft Auto V has had multiple DLCs over the years, with some being good and others being a little lackluster. No matter how amazing the DLCs have been, they each offer new in-game experiences for players to enjoy, whether that is new missions, a new location, or purchasable buildings to run your ever-expanding illegal businesses from. It has been some time since Rockstar has released a DLC for the online mode which means there is a multitude of rumors floating around about what the next update could bring....

Online Tournament 6 of the Apex Legends Global Series just wrapped up, with Europe’s GnaskeStrafeDel (GSD) and North America’s NRG coming out on top of the competition. ALGS is now moving towards its Summer Circuit, as this event marked the last of the Online Tournament series. Luckily, I was able to chat with GSD’s Wraith player, SirDel, about their recent victory. “Coming into this tournament we were actually lacking confidence. We went through a bit of a slump and didn’t make it to the finals of Esports Arena #5 – so we were unsure of how that would translate over to ALGS....
