There are various features from past Halo games that some players would like to see make a comeback in Halo Infinite. While fans speculate about Halo Infinite’s release, there are still questions about what features will make their way into the new game. Recently, 343 Industries held a fan Q&A called Halo Infinite - Zeta Halo that gave fans a chance to see just what they can expect from the game....
Studio Head Dan Ayoub is leaving developer 343 Industries for opportunities in the larger Microsoft family. His departure was revealed as part of a Halo Waypoint blog post, which also confirmed Ayoub’s new venture in Microsoft’s Mixed Reality department. Ayoub will be helping the company expand the education side of the VR and augmented reality space, primarily with Microsoft’s HoloLens. Prior to today’s news, Dan Ayoub was a studio head at 343 Industries working on the studio’s real time strategy projects....
Michael Crichton’s 1987 novel, Sphere, is being adapted once again, but this time for the small screen. Helmed by Denise Thé, who will serve as showrunner, writer, and executive producer for the project, the Sphere series is being developed for HBO. Sphere, a sci-fi psychological thriller set off by an unknown spacecraft discovered at the bottom of the ocean, was already adapted into a film version in 1998. Unfortunately, due to negative reception from both critics and audiences (in a heartwarming rare moment of agreement), the movie bombed....
With its list of new releases for June 2022, HBO Max is joining in what should be a TV summer to remember. Not content to let Netflix’s Stranger Things or Prime Video’s The Boys to dominate the summer TV landscape, HBO is coming through with a new season of one of its big hits. Westworld season 4 is set to premiere June 26 on both HBO and HBO Max. What will this season of the increasingly confusing sci-fi drama be about?...
HBO Max has been making some impressive acquisitions for itself lately, particularly scoring a deal with DC to be the premier streaming service for most of the content transitioning over from DC’s less successful DC Universe platform. However, it seems things aren’t all perfect over at HBO, as the streaming service still has a few alternate pricing options under its sleeve to win over those who have yet to subscribe to the admittedly expensive service....
It’s a new year in Destiny 2, and with it comes a new expansion and a new Power grind. In Beyond Light, Guardian Power levels now start at the base level of 1050 and go all the way to 1200 for the soft cap, 1250 for the hard cap, and 1260 for the Pinnacle cap. It’s a long road from 1050 to 1200, but we’ve got a winning strategy to help get you there as fast as possible....
Hideo Kojima may not be completely hands-on with Metal Gear Solid: Rising, but rest assured that if things go south, the creator will step in to ensure the security of his beloved franchise. Some may be pondering, “Kojima not in charge of a Metal Gear game?” It’s a silly idea to say the least, but in all actuality it is the truth. Hideo Kojima has set boundaries for Metal Gear Solid: Rising, but has given the reins to his company, Kojima Productions, to oversee the completion of the game....
Nintendo has had a rocky history, to say the least. After starting out with a bang and saving the video game industry, they grew in their profits until some strange business decisions caused them to lose momentum. Nowadays, they’re on the up and up with the Switch and its third-party support, but that’s very well subject to change in the coming years. Because of the mixed reception of the company on top of the abnormal decisions they’ve made with their products, Nintendo has been the subject of many jokes and criticisms over the years (particularly in the Wii U era)....
Mass Effect is a sci-fi series that had the most diverse cast of characters. Not only were there many races, but many backgrounds, stories, and personalities written for each character. Every fan had their favorites, least favorites, and sometimes even ones that they felt a little complicated about. With this assortment of characters, it is easy to label them into different groups. One such method is through the Harry Potter Houses: Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw....
Strange art is often made in the name of advertising. The wild world of tie-in TV shows and movies has brought together The Smurfs and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, taken Fred Savage on a cross-country journey to play Nintendo, and introduced the world to a vile E.T. knock-off designed to sell kids McDonald’s. While it is cynical and gross to turn art into a purely capitalistic endeavor, it’s hard to deny that corporate synergy and creative savvy can combine for some sublime results on occasion....
There’s a reason George Lucas wouldn’t let people play with Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs toys, and it’s not what you think. In the Star Wars universe, the empire always strikes back, but sometimes preemptively. Princess Vespa scooters, Lone Starr Pez dispensers, Barf air bags, and Prince Valium chewables are just a few things the retail market never got the chance to see because Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs merchandise never got off the launchpad....
The Crown Tundra DLC for Pokemon Sword & Shield is here and it has brought two new Regi Legendary Pokemon to the series. Here is how to catch Regidrago in the Crown Tundra. The Legendary Titans are a group of three golem-like Pokemon that debuted in Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire. Regice, Regirock, and Registeel were bizarre, prehistoric Pokemon that were some of the most alien creatures to date. They received a master in Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, in the form of Regigigas, who was hidden in the Sinnoh region....
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is offering PlayStation 4 players a headstart on installing its latest update. This new patch for the game will bring players into Season 5 for Modern Warfare and Warzone, plus installing it gives players a chance to avoid any delays in getting into the action of the new season.

With competitive mode now available in VALORANT, players are diving in to get their highest rank possible, but there is much to consider if one hopes to climb and improve in the long term. Understanding Rank In General Terms Riot Games has already explained that the ranking system in VALORANT features a total of eight different ranks with three tiers each, except for the highest rank, Valorant. What is not stated is how similar ranking feels compared to CS:GO, both in improving as a player and what to expect from teammates at each rank....
It’s unusual that we see a numbered sequel to a Zelda game. While it shared the same world, engine, and general selection of mechanics, even Majora’s Mask isn’t considered a traditional follow-up to Ocarina of Time. Knowing this, Nintendo is stepping onto rarely ventured ground with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. It is telling us that this story isn’t finished, and that this iteration of Link, Zelda, and Hyrule still has new stories to tell....
When Resident Evil first launched on the Sony PlayStation in 1996, it was not the first game in the survival-horror genre, but it did have the greatest impact in years to come. Clock Tower, Alone in the Dark, and I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream were all excellent in their own ways, but the experience that was treading softly through the Spencer mansion, only to have a hunter leap through the air and decapitate Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine with a single swipe of its razor-sharp claws, was on a completely different level....
Inside builds on every strength of Playdead’s Limbo, while also delivering a compelling yet haunting world filled with smart puzzles and inventive mechanics. Released back in 2010, Playdead Studios’ Limbo was the game that essentially paved the way for countless indies to find success on consoles. It was a pioneer not just in concept, but its gameplay and striking visuals established Limbo as something special, regardless of budget or development team....
Destiny 2 is scheduled to undergo some extended maintenance on Thursday, June 13, concluding with a new patch to the game, and many fans are speculating that it will fix the current exploit allowing players to farm the chest in the new Menagerie activity in Season of Opulence. Developer Bungie has yet to detail the contents of hotfix 2.5.0.3, but the developer often moves fast in patching exploits in Destiny 2, especially when it gives players an avenue to getting more loot than designed....
The world of Grand Theft Auto V is a massive, sprawling one that has so many secrets hidden away that it’s totally possible to spend years just trying to find them all. Obsessions like that are common in games these days, as most AAA releases are peppered with new content on a monthly basis. That’s not quite the case with GTA V, which has seen massive support for its online mode, Grand Theft Auto Online, but comparatively little in the way of new single-player content....
Grand Theft Auto fans are hungry for information on Grand Theft Auto 6, but it doesn’t seem like any news on the highly-anticipated game will be coming anytime soon. The lack of information on Grand Theft Auto 6, or Rockstar’s plans beyond the Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online next-gen releases, has left the door wide open for people to spread fake leaks and rumors all over the internet....
