A nasty bug has appeared in Valorant that takes away a player’s ability to use weapons and powers. Despite the recent update Riot Games released for Valorant, there looks to be a major problem still occurring in the game. Since the title’s release, Riot Games has retained a consistent community of players. As a first-person hero shooter with a free-to-play format, Valorant captures some of the more popular mechanics in today’s industry....

Breath of the Wild redefined The Legend of Zelda, but by taking the franchise back to its origins. After decades of styling games in the likeness of A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time, Breath of the Wild marked a return to non-linear progression and freedom at any cost. Hyrule is bigger than it’s ever been, as well – and arguably even more dangerous. Unlike most Zelda games, Breath of the Wild offers a respectable challenge through its enemy design: the most threatening being the Lynel....

Every year THQ releases a new WWE video game and this year’s installment will be seeing a few noticeable changes — mainly THQ dropping the SmackDown! vs. Raw moniker — but from the various amounts of hands-on time we’ve had with the game we can assure you that all of the changes will make WWE 12 one of the best wrestling games ever released. While there is quite a bit new in terms of gameplay, it’s the roster that past and present fans look to in making their purchase decision....

Animal Crossing and Build-A-Bear? Sounds like a perfect match, if you ask me. Ever since Animal Crossing: New Horizons released back in March, fans have been asking for a collaboration with Build-A-Bear. Petitions have been passed around, with one amassing over 10,000 signatures, so it’s obvious fans want to see the partnership come to life. While partnering with a big company like Nintendo may seem like a reach, Build-A-Bear is no stranger to the video game conglomerate....

About a couple of months ago, Activision and Treyarch held a live press conference to officially reveal that the forthcoming first-person shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 would contain 3 different Zombies experiences at launch. Now, the studio has decided to offer up a closer look at two of those modes – that is, Voyage of Despair and IX – by releasing a brand new trailer that details how their stories are connected....

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War is finally set to be revealed on August 26th, and fans of the series now know what time that reveal will kick off. According to the official Call of Duty Twitter, Black Ops Cold War will be shown to the world within Call of Duty Warzone at 10:30 Pacific Time. Activision recently used the Warzone mode as part of an incredibly interesting and complex easter egg for the next Black Ops game....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has just dropped its first trailer, and it’s looking pretty sweet. Last week, we found out that Call of Duty was returning to its greatest successes by rebooting the Modern Warfare sub-franchise. Rather than call it Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, they were just going to stick with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to indicate a soft reboot of the series. We knew that would feature a campaign that was riveting, emotional, and intense, claiming Modern Warfare 2’s No Russian mission as inspiration....

Call of Duty: Warzone has plenty of good weapons for players to choose from. Whether someone prefers close-quarters shotguns and SMGs or long-range snipers, there is something for everyone. However, one gun has truly taken the Season 4 meta by storm. The Bruen MK9 looks to be the current best option in the game, and former Call of Duty pro Nadeshot has detailed his ideal loadout for the weapon. In Call of Duty: Warzone, weapon choices have even more importance than in a regular multiplayer match....

Every Call of Duty: Black Ops title has featured a version of the infamous Nuketown map. This morning, Activision stayed true to the tradition by adding a variation of Nuketown to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Every Nuketown that has been in a Black Ops title appears a little differently, with Nuketown ‘84 taking inspiration from the 80s time period the title is set in. The map is located in some sort of junkyard, and both houses featured in the look more like graffiti-covered shacks....

Although Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has been revealed, its teaser website Pawn Takes Pawn is still active. The site updates infrequently, adding mysterious videotapes and puzzles among its pages. Now, amid the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta, the website has posted a brand new video. The video is titled simply “What you’re made of” and presents the reoccurring hooded character from previous tapes. Although the message is as cryptic as ever, it does set fans’ minds aflame with theories and possibilities....

Within the last four years especially, Doom has made what is easily one of the best comebacks in video game history. After a twelve year hiatus, id Software, alongside Bethesda Softworks, returned Doom to its former glory in a tremendous way. Although, before the arrival of Doom (2016) there was apparently a fourth mainline installment in the works that ultimately got scrapped in favor of the 2016 title. Doom 3 was the last game in the series to release before Doom was revitalized in 2016....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the most recent game in Ubisoft’s popular Assassin’s Creed franchise. Set in 873AD, this latest release is a retelling of the early Norse raids on Britain, following Eivor — a male or female viking raider — as they became entangled in the familiar conflict between the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Knights Templar. While the games have always drawn inspiration from history (with a laudable amount of research done by the teams involved) did you know that Valhalla also has more than its fair share of mythological references?...

Even though Persona has been a successful series throughout its lifespan, Atlus really seems to have struck gold with Persona 5. Originally releasing back in 2016, the game was nominated for multiple awards at that year’s The Game Awards, and has since gone on to release the rhythm game spinoff Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, a revised version of the original game in Persona 5 Royal, and now a direct sequel to the original game with a twist in Persona 5 Strikers....

This Attack on Titan review contains spoilers. Attack on Titan Season 2, Episode 3 In this episode of Attack on Titan, Connie comes home to what’s essentially a ghost town, Christa and Ymir have a little moment in which something seemingly huge to the plot gets revealed, and Pastor Nick finally grows a very tiny set of balls to clue the Survey Corp in just enough about what is actually going on so our heroes can get out of the limbo the next episode....

Not even the combined efforts of the world’s greatest heroes can avoid all the bugs in Marvel’s Avengers. However, we can work together to compile a list of the most common issues and how to get around them. It is both a blessing and a curse that games are able to receive post-launch updates and patches. On one hand it allows for issues missed during development to be fixed later on, but also can be used as an excuse for games to ship with known issues intended to be fixed later....

Larian announced a delay for Baldur’s Gate 3, the upcoming RPG set in the Dungeons and Dragons universe. In an update on Twitter, the studio said that the game will no longer be coming in August, but that a new date would be revealed soon. Larian didn’t provide a specific reason for the delay, though the Baldur’s Gate team has been working from home. Larian will provide fans with a new early access release date on August 18 alongside Summer Game Fest’s Geoff Keighley....

It’s been quite some time since fans of FromSoftware have seen or heard anything substantial from the developer’s next big game, Elden Ring. For those who may be unfamiliar with the title, Elden Ring was revealed at E3 2019 with a brief cinematic trailer that got fans of the Dark Souls series incredibly intrigued. Though Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have been mostly silent on the project since it was revealed almost two years ago, it seems that fans may be getting some news about the project sometime soon....

Warning: contains Barbarians spoilers Barbaren – to give Barbarians its original German title (which you should, because then you can sing it to the tune of The Beach Boys’ Barbara Ann) was a massive hit for Netflix. It came out of nowhere in the last week of October 2020 and whipped straight into the streaming service’s Top 10. It follows then, that Barbaren was quickly renewed for a second season, which began filming in September 2021....

When Batman & Robin came out 25 years ago in the summer of 1997, it pretty much acted as the death knell for the Dark Knight on the big screen. Following on the heels of 1995’s Batman Forever, this silly, sub-juvenile horror show from director Joel Schumacher killed any good will built up by the earlier Tim Burton Batman movies and created such an awkward situation for Warner Bros. that they ultimately decided it would be better to reboot the franchise eight years later by letting Christopher Nolan go in startling new directions with Batman Begins (2005)....

A few days ago, details about a now-defunct game based on Marvel Comics’ The Avengers leaked on the Internet. Not to be outdone, Marvel’s cross-town rival DC Comics is making waves in a similar way, with new footage and concept art from a cancelled fighting game based on the publisher’s flagship franchise, the Justice League. Unlike Marvel, of course, DC’s had a strong presence in the triple-A video game space over the past few years....
