This article contains House of the Dragon episode 3 spoilers. Speak with any passionate Game of Thrones fan—or even the casual viewers who were in it for the dragons and ice zombies—and they’ll tell you issues they had with HBO’s former flagship series. Most of those critiques revolve around the final season: Daenerys Targaryen’s descent into madness was rushed (or that it occurred at all); Jaime Lannister threw away his redemption arc in one hackneyed scene with Brienne; how could they “forget” about the Iron Fleet?...

Inazuma is the latest region to arrive in Genshin Impact as part of its 2.0 update. While the concept of the Electro nation is fascinating in and of itself, it needs to significantly change how exploration works in the game if it wants to be truly successful. Mondstadt, the starting area, consists of a large walled city surrounded by a wide moat, as well as vast open fields to wander. Liyue, which came next, is a port region, and has lots of piers, peninsulas, and, well… ports....

Yesterday, to the dismay of many fans, Insomniac Games announced that they will no longer be making Resistance games. There may be a bit of a silver lining however, as Insomniac believes the franchise can still live on with Sony. Insomniac released a video of company president Ted Price discussing why they have chosen to leave the franchise behind. The reasoning is that they believe the story arc they set out to tell has reached its “logical conclusion....

People working at Insomniac Games are offering their help to support black writers and artists looking to break into the games industry. As protests continue in cities across the United States, some people are getting the message. These protests are as much about racial equality as they are about police brutality, and folks at Insomniac Games are trying to do their part for black equality. Mary Kenny, a writer for Insomniac Games, Telltale Games, and IDW Comics, posted to her Twitter on Monday and offered portfolio reviews for black people looking to break into comics, journalism, or the video game industry....

Though there’s still a large amount of mystery surrounding the big BioWare reveal that’s set to take place during the Spike Video Game Awards, some gamers have already placed their bets on one of two candidates. The first, and closer to the BioWare wheelhouse, candidate is Mercenaries, the sandbox destruction game that, at least, features taking on the role of one character and shaping your experience. The other and, thanks to some new domain registrations, more likely candidate is Command & Conquer, one of a handful of RTS franchises that have survived the decades....

This week, Destiny 2 added the Heroic difficulty for Menagerie that features no matchmaking and the Extinguish modifier. As advertised and with some nasty negative modifiers, Heroic Menagerie can be difficult, which begs the question: is it worth doing? Special Heroic Menagerie Drops When it comes to gear, there is nothing that the Heroic Menagerie offers that the regular Menagerie does not. Players can still use their Chalice to craft armor or weapons, and catered the masterwork or damage resistance to their liking....

While many video games are lauded for their original scores, others like the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise have gained reputations for using licensed hits in beloved soundtracks. Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto series has become well-known for its in-game radio stations to listen to, and that musical exposure through Grand Theft Auto: Vice City had a big influence on Alex Bent, the drummer for heavy metal band Trivium. In an interview with Music Radar discussing his influences as a drummer, Bent said when he was younger he played a lot of games, and that he first heard Slayer’s “Raining Blood” from the 1986 album Reign in Blood through a Vice City radio station....

Grand Theft Auto 5 is a super fun game. But anyone who has played Grand Theft Auto 5 will know that it’s definitely not easy to finish matches or go up against other players if you don’t have the best weapons. More weapons are unlocked as you rank up through the game, which can be done by gaining XP in jobs. But, as any Grand Theft Auto 5 player will know, not all weapons are created equal, and we definitely don’t want to waste any of our hard-earned money on a weapon that isn’t great, so here are a few of the most powerful weapons available in GTA 5....

The title currently showing the world how well indie games can sell, Hades, has actually been around for quite a while. The title was released into Early Access back in December 2018 and was actually “locked” to the Epic Game Store for an entire year. That said, this Greek Mythos roguelike masterpiece has been out on Switch since September and even longer on Steam. There has been plenty of time for people to get good at efficiently cleaning out mobs of enemies, maximizing movement to save time, and even blitzing through boss fights in less than a minute....

I have been writing a lot about Hades recently, so it should come as no surprise that I wanted to have a chat with Hades composer and Zagreus actor Darren Korb. What is surprising, though, is the immense irony in the fact that I showed up over half an hour late to the interview because I lost track of time while writing this Hades guide. “It’s alright,” Korb says after my fifth profuse apology....
