Fans of classic role-playing games are having a collective fit about the imminent release of Baldur’s Gate 3, and it’s easy to understand why. The Baldur’s Gate franchise was one of the most popular RPG games of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The game mechanics were based on Dungeons & Dragons rules and it was one of the first attempts to successfully bring tabletop games to the world of video games, paving the way for the whole genre as it went along....

The launch of both the Xbox Series Xand the PS5 has affected not only the gaming community, but also the state of world commerce. The new console generation, more than any other console generation before it, is in high demand, and retailers from around the world are struggling to keep both the Xbox Series X and the PS5 in stock. Although, it seems one retail outlet, in particular, is offering a great deal on next-gen games to those who managed to get ahold of one of the consoles....

The Outer Worlds is a first-person RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment, known the world over for their work on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords and Fallout: New Vegas. Their attention to detail and world-building are top notch, and the Outer Worlds is no exception.

While the release of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands means that it’s finally time to embark upon a grand new adventure the likes of which we couldn’t imagine in the early days of gaming, it also means that it’s time to start farming the expansion’s best mounts. Shadowlands is filled with a variety of fascinating new mounts, but we’ve come to expect that from most modern WoW expansions. What’s a little surprising this time around is not just the amount of new mounts in Shadowlands but the unique ways that you’ll unlock them....

Try as they might, it seems Blue Box Game Studios can’t quite shake the conspiracy theory that their game Abandoned is actually a big secret Kojima project. The Internet really thinks its onto something with this one, but the so-called “evidence” seems merely to be a collection of coincidences combined with people’s hope-fuelled imaginations. According to Blue Box head Hasan Kahraman, Abandoned really has nothing to do with Hideo Kojima or his studio, Kojima Productions....

Borderlands has many charming and iconic characters. The franchise also has its fair share of weird and crazy characters as well. Although it would be expected to see people going insane in Pandora, Doctor Patricia Tannis was pushed to an extreme. An insanely intelligent, science person, she decided to stay in Pandora after the death of her whole team. All that just to learn more about the Vault. She is quirky, or even crazy, for most of the first game....

Players love a good crossover, especially when it involves fan favorite characters or worlds. Sometimes these crossovers don’t make a ton of sense, but they can work well anyway. This is the case with Magic: The Gathering’s Walking Dead crossover, and is the case with a lot of fighting franchises. The why of how two characters came to be fighting often matters less than how fun the fight is. It is with this attitude that a new game called Bounty Battle is presenting itself to players....

Breath of the Wild redefined The Legend of Zelda in more ways than one. From its open world to completely non-linear structure, BotW called back to an era of gaming the medium had long since forgotten. Player freedom once again became the series’ modus operandi, with Breath of the Wild allowing Link to save the world at the player’s own pace. Along with getting rid of traditional dungeons and equipment, Breath of the Wild also removes Bottles as they once were....

Ever since the release of the original Xbox back in 2001, Bungie has became a force to be reckoned with in the industry. The Halo franchise helped establish Xbox and Microsoft as a serious competitor in the the industry - and also brought the once PC-centric first person shooter franchise to the home console. To celebrate Bungie’s twenty years in the industry and their new partnership with Activision, the team has released “O Brave New World,” a near one-hour long documentary detailing their history - as well as their plans going forward....

The Call of Duty series is certainly no stranger to success, but the franchise has now reached new heights. Fresh off the success of Call of Duty: Warzone comes Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. While this is the seventeenth game in the series, the Call of Duty franchise shows no signs of depreciation. Review scores for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War were generally lower than previous installments in the franchise, but only by a small margin....

It’s hard to get excited about a new Call of Duty game after 16 years of consecutive releases, but a bigger emphasis on stealth in Black Ops Cold War’s campaign and a couple of enjoyable new multiplayer modes prove that this annual franchise can still hang with the best. While part of the Black Ops subseries, you don’t need to be familiar with the previous games to enjoy Cold War’s single-player campaign....

With every Call of Duty game comes a Mountain Dew and Doritos promotion, and Black Ops Cold War will be no different. Today, the promotion was officially announced, mimicking other promotions and providing Black Ops Cold War players with double XP codes for every marked Mountain Dew or Doritos product purchased. This latest 2XP promotion is especially impactful, as it was the Doritos promotion that leaked the logo and title for Black Ops Cold War....

Call of Duty: Cold War is finally out, but there are some issues players should know about. Overall, most people seem to be happy with the game – though there are many problems that you should know about before getting started. A lot of the problems that are currently present will almost certainly be corrected in future updates. However, some issues are probably not going to be fixed. Most importantly, players starting Call of Duty: Cold War should know that this game is quite different (in some aspects) than all the previous Call of Duty games....

One of the best feelings in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is unlocking kill streaks and raining bullets, fire, and more down on the enemy team. This is been a classic Call of Duty trait through several games and in each new game fan favorite kill streaks get buffed, nerfed, or dissapear entirely. In Modern Warfare, fans are calling for a buff for the Support Helo, believing that it is way too weak to survive the current gun meta....

Over the course of the last week, Call of Duty: Warzone has been had the new Halloween-themed event Haunting of Verdansk.
