Assassin’s Creed Origins came out last week, and that can be said about it is…“WOW.” In some backstory to how this game came to be, the idea of going to ancient Egypt was tossed around for a very long time. Fans wanted it, and Ubisoft clearly wanted to do this as well. The time period is perfect due to all the drama and extremely interesting real world material. Most of what one tends to see in Assassin’s Creed games are mostly accurate historically....

Yesterday’s Square Enix stream brought us our first new look at Babylon’s Fall since 2019’s State of Play, and while the game’s action and effects certainly looked impressive, there seemed to be a general lack of focus. As in the stream looked kinda blurry. Most of us probably ignored it as just stream compression, but it turns out that’s not actually an artifact of E3’s digital presentation–Babylon’s Fall is supposed to look a little burry....

I love The Simpsons, and not just as a concept. Not just in the “oh yeah, Mr. Plow, that was funny,” kind of way. I still watch the new episodes every week and keep up with all the buzz around the show too. Unfortunately, that means I hear a lot of people complaining about how it’s not as good as it used to be over and over again. They’re right, for the record, but I also think these complaints are unfounded and unfair....

Rumors of a free-to-play Battleborn are crushed, though Gearbox claims that a free version of the game may become available to play in the next few months. Gearbox Software’s Battleborn was arguably one of the most forgotten games of this year. Developed by the team behind Borderlands, many expected the game to perform far better than it ended up doing - a reason that the free-to-play model might work well for the title....

For the first time, players can now purchase Battlepacks in Battlefield 1 with actual money in exchange for the cosmetic weapon skins that are contained within. EA and DICE have added a new microtransaction option for Battlefield 1, allowing players to purchase Battlepacks for real world money. Battlepacks are in-game items normally earned as a random reward after finishing multiplayer matches in Battlefield 1. They contain cosmetic weapon skins that do not have any in-game effect, other than changing the look of certain weapons....

Strap on your high-heeled gun boots (we have ours on right now), word on the street is that details on Bayonetta 2 will be released next week in Japanese gaming magazines - or at least that’s what Bayonetta and Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya would have fans believe. Yesterday, a source close to SPOnG told the site that SEGA was positively planning a sequel to the hair-raising action game, Bayonetta, but things have gone awry since the company started restructuring....

When Valve Co-Founder Gabe Newell came out to say he thinks that Windows 8 is a “catastrophe” most gamers didn’t even bat an eye. Not only has Newell been known to make broad generalizations about exciting new pieces of software, he usually ends up eating his words. Case in point, Portal 2’s partnership with the Sony and the PlayStation 3. Nonetheless his claims about the direction Windows 8 is headed, and his contingency plan for using Linux as an alternate form of computer gaming, had some people talking....

Bosses are the highlight of FromSoftware games. They’re a chance to prove your mettle and use everything you’ve learned to take down a tough foe. They are also infuriating if you just can’t quite get the hang of them. Each boss requires a different tactic, mastery of a different game mechanic. Father Gascoigne is the second boss in Bloodborne, or the first if you didn’t stumble upon the Cleric Beast. This fight is designed to test you on the fundamentals of Bloodborne, so if you aren’t too sure what they are, you’ll struggle....

This is Part 5 of TheGamer’s Guide To Building A Budget Gaming PC. If you missed any of the previous sections, the home page for the entire series can be found here. Monitors There is practically no upper limit to monitor, so when considering what kind to get for a budget setup, it can get overwhelming quickly. For our purposes, it’s best to focus on a small handful of “must-have” features: resolution, refresh rate, and size....

Activision and Treyarch make Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s Nuketown map free on current-gen platforms for all players of the futuristic first-person shooter. For those unaware, upon Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s launch back in November 2015, the Nuketown map was only available if fans pre-ordered the game. Now, thankfully, Activision and Treyarch are making its updated version of the fan-favorite multiplayer area freely accessible to all players on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One....

When Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War arrived, it was rightfully criticized for a lack of map variety. Still, Moscow was a strong point of the small map pool at launch, and it seems like Treyarch is removing one of the only criticisms Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War fans have about the map. While Moscow has fallen victim to some glitches like disappearing care packages and players falling through the map, these issues have thankfully been fixed....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will be seeing all its content integrated into Call of Duty: Warzone starting on December 10, but it seems like the weapons will be entering the battle royale earlier. If a message of the day in Warzone is to be believed, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War guns could be arriving as soon as the latest Black Ops launches. Black Ops Cold War’s integration with Warzone is helping to ensure that the future of the CoD franchise looks bright, a new message of the day in Warzone states that integration will be starting on November 13, as opposed to the previously announced date of December 10....

As if Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone matches were not stressful enough, players may start encountering enemies with multiple guns at their disposal. Continuing the recent string of weird and game-breaking exploits in the game, a new glitch in the game allows players to equip more than two weapons at once, and fans are not happy about it. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is no stranger to bugs and glitches, with a new one nearly every week....

According to computer hardware company Nvidia, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has sold a staggering 30 million copies since its release just over a year ago. That’s an absolutely obscene number, right? A slight disclaimer should be added here, however. This news was delivered during a livestream hosted by Nvidia who was discussing their new series of graphics cards. Upon boasting that these graphics cards will be powerful enough to handle ray tracing in the upcoming Call of Duty: Cold War, they commended the last instalment in the series (being Modern Warfare) for surpassing 30 millions units sold....

During a Call of Duty: Warzone match, someone stumbled upon a genius idea. If you manage to spray-paint your opponent while awaiting your gulag showdown – they become much easier to see during the fight. Warzone players have developed a love-hate relationship with the gulag. It’s annoying and high-pressure, but defeat your opponent and you’ve earned yourself a one-way ticket back to the battlefield. Nobody likes to sit around while your allies fumble to get enough money to buy you back – so you might as well maximize your odds for the gulag win....

Call of Duty: Warzone has been a hit with the majority of players as it has combined the mechanics of the reboot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with the battle royale genre. Warzone has managed to keep its appeal through frequent updates that have added to the available weapons, and abilities that players can utilize as they are enclosed in an increasingly small space. However, these updates have also introduced bugs that have led to annoying manipulations of the mechanics that feature in the game....

A new Call of Duty update goes live this week and adds a ton of exciting content before Season 5. Although much of the update adds multiplayer modes such as Shoot the Ship 24/7, Sniper Gunfights, and Reinfected Ground War, Warzone will also add a new game mode. The update adds Duos Stimulus, which allows players to return to the fight if enough cash is held when eliminated. Instead of taking a trip to the Gulag, the eliminated player will be redeployed....

Call of Duty: Warzone has seen its fair share of bugs, glitches, and tricks. From shooting through walls to watching items fall through stairs, there are a seemingly endless number of glitches that players need to be aware of. Some of these should be avoided, like getting killed by scorestreaks while respawning. Other Call of Duty: Warzone tricks can be used by any player, such as landing on the ground without popping a parachute....

Call of Duty: Warzone is a popular battle royale, but like many of these games, it has its own game-breaking flaws. These come in the form of overpowered guns that make its biggest fans choose to delete the game forever, or at least not play until the developers fix the issue. They take the fun out of the game as more and more players choose to add these broken weapons to their custom loadout....

Leveling up in Fallout 76 is about to get a whole lot different as, with the next update set for February, when you reach level 25, going to your CAMP will allow for you to reset all of your SPECIAL points for free while also being able to create and manage Loadouts. So, you can head back to your CAMP, swap out your build, try a different playstyle, and head back into the wasteland fresh and ready to take on super mutants with a new coat of paint, but that’s not all....
