As one of the more interesting and engaging features to surface during the last console generation, collecting Achievements/Trophies have quickly become one of the more enjoyable aspects of playing games for some users. Given the replayability it adds for gamers and completionists alike, they’ve quickly become a fun way to show off one’s rep to friends and strangers alike. Of course, that’s not always the case. Some titles provide gamers with nearly impossible accolades to gather, which ensures that many will never reach that coveted 100% on the title – or, in the case of PlayStation users, that coveted Platinum Trophy....

There is a ring in Demon’s Souls called the Cat Ring. When worn, it reduces fall damage for the wearer. It doesn’t entirely mitigate fall damage as falling from too high will still be fatal, but anything that’s not high enough to kill you will do no damage. Sort of like how cats are basically fine until they fall off a skyscraper. Anyway, to represent this uniquely beneficial status condition, From Software gave the player an icon underneath their health, magic, and stamina bars....

This mysterious writing can be found early on in the game engraved on small stones throughout the various planets in Borderlands 3. Discovering each plate will lead to earning over 700 pieces of Eridium to spend on Mad Moxxi’s slots, skins for each class, and more powerful weapons back on Sanctuary III. These valuable pieces of writing are unreadable through most of the game and the player will have to wait until collecting a certain item used to read the writing during a quest near the end of the campaign....

Brandon Cronenberg offers up a refreshingly provocative sci-fi vision in his 2020 film Possessor. As director and scriptwriter, Cronenberg weaves together a singular tale about an assassin-for-hire who doesn’t go about her job in the traditional way. Instead, she transmits her consciousness into the minds of her victims by surreptitiously implanting chips in their brains and then using a special machine to assume control. With this plot, Cronenberg maintains a tense relationship between ethereal technologies and the very corporeal consequences of invading another person’s body....

Have you ever crawled out of the darkest corner of E621 and wanted to strut around in unmentionables that are decorated in the most famous Pokémon? Boy, does Japan have a product for you, as officially licensed Pokémon lingerie and nightwear are on the way. Pokémon is the most profitable media franchise of all time. As such, the faces of Pikachu and all of the other Pokémon have been emblazoned on every product known to man, ranging from clothing to perfume....

Bug Fables is an indie game that revives the classic Paper Mario formula. It has a turn-based battle system, tons of items, and badges that help you increase your skills. For those that haven’t played a classic Paper Mario game in years, or those wanting to try out the strange RPG genre, the combat system can be a bit strange. The system is unique from other RPGs on the market, and that makes it feel fresh....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has confirmed the start date for the game’s first season, continuing the trend of seasonal content rollouts that started in Modern Warfare. While the content included within the seasonal update was left intentionally vague, it does give fans an idea of what to expect from the title in the months after launch. While it won’t release until a few weeks after launch, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 1 will kick off on December 10, bringing with it a variety of new content for players to enjoy....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was the top-selling game of 2019, but there are still those out there who have yet to play it. With that in mind, Activision has decided to give potential buyers a taste of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare by letting everyone play the multiplayer completely free of charge for a limited time. The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare free weekend begins on Friday, April 3 at 10am PT and will be available until Monday, April 6 at 10am PT....

While Call of Duty: Warzone gears up for its fifth season, the popular battle royale is bringing back some fan favorites to help players complete their final objectives this season. After announcing that the fan-favorite Shipment 24/7 playlist will return, Activision and Infinity Ward promised to give Warzone’s fourth season an explosive finale, as they teased the return of a limited-time fan favorite for this coming weekend. Today, Infinity Ward announced that players would be able to play in Juggernaut Royale Quads....

Call of Duty: Warzone, like other battle royales, is expected to have major in-game events that change up the map and add new content to the experience. Many Warzone players expected such an event to happen with the Season 4 release, and while it didn’t, that doesn’t mean that Season 4 won’t still feature a map-changing event at some point. In fact, a leak suggests that a major event is in fact coming to Call of Duty: Warzone sooner rather than later....

In Call of Duty: Warzone, the SMG weapon class is considered a powerful primary and a trusty secondary weapon. Players often pair SMG loadouts with sniper rifles, tactical rifles, or long-range assault rifles. No matter the pairing, the Call of Duty: Warzone SMG options provide a powerful close-combat option for any fan looking to beam down opponents. While the MAC-10 has recently dominated the Call of Duty: Warzone meta, there are several other powerful SMGs within the title....

Over the past few weeks, Call of Duty: Warzone has allowed players to gun down hordes of Zombies in the Shipwreck point of interest. Going forward, though, it seems like Call of Duty: Warzone players will be finding the undead in many more locations. The first area that Zombies have started to spread to is Call of Duty: Warzone’s Gulag, something fans have been expecting. Not only is the prison right next to the crashed Vodianoy ship, making it a logical area for the infection to spread to, but Activision itself recently teased this development....

Through the console betas of Call of Duty: WW2, developer Sledgehammer Games has already picked up some valuable information about the game, with one of the potential tweaks before the game launches in November being a nerf to shotgun incendiary shells. Now, the developer has announced the dates of the PC multiplayer beta, which will no doubt provide further vital data. Sledgehammer Games confirmed the dates of the PC beta for Call of Duty: WW2 over on its website, and PC players do not have long to wait to get into the beta for the highly anticipated title....

As promised, Infinity Ward has released a new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the Warzone battle royale. The latest update for the games isn’t all that significant in the grand scheme of things, but it does change up the available playlists. On the Modern Warfare side of things, the big news is that Gunfight Tournaments is back. Gunfight Tournaments challenges players to win four Gunfight matches in a row in exchange for a special prize....

Entering an online match in Call of Duty will offer up a grab-bag of results for players. Sometimes lobbies are filled to the brim with young children, other times there are people searching for verbal confrontation, and others, apparently, feature a cappella renditions of entire Coldplay songs. At least, that’s what happened in a lobby during a play session in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Despite singing and generally just loud music commonly being viewed as a rather annoying act while gamers attempt to secure victory online, the party members of one Black Ops player allowed their allegedly unaware teammate to belt out the entirety of ‘Fix You’ by Coldplay....

Warzone is a highly competitive game, and players can get burned out playing battle royale. Players should try to have fun playing the game again, and there are several classes that can be used to trick opponents in Verdansk. From the turtle class to the RPG meta, there are a number of ways to mix up gameplay and frustrate opponents. The competitive nature of battle royale has forced many players to use only the meta weapons and attachments....

Call Of Duty Zombies has appeared in every Treyarch entry since World At War, and for a side mode, it gained a ton of popularity over the years. The mode has its own long and intricate story underneath the single round-based survival gameplay. The story is heavily driven by the characters we play as, of which are given the name of a “crew.” Each crew consists of four characters that we play as on certain maps....

If you can’t buy a PS5 at stores, then you might be able to win one by entering a contest held by Big G cereals. The PS5 and Xbox Series X are almost impossible to purchase for RRP at the moment. The pre-orders were quickly grabbed by scalpers, and the only way to buy one through an online storefront was through sheer luck and through a lot of hitting the refresh button....

What does around $20 buy in terms of gaming hardware these days? Surprisingly, a great gaming mouse and large mouse pad that work well in the office and in fast-paced multiplayer games. Today we are reviewing the AUKEY Knight Gaming Mouse (Model GM-F4), featuring RGB lighting, eight programmable buttons, a 1.8M (5.9’) braided nylon cable, and an estimated lifespan of 20 million clicks.

Avowed is the next confirmed RPG to be developed by Obsidian, which is very exciting for players that enjoy exploring the worlds that Obsidian has crafted in the past, including Fallout New Vegas and The Outer Worlds, among others. Although players don’t have too much information on what the story will be about or the mechanics of the game, there are already some confirmed pieces of information that will help players piece together what they can expect from this RPG....
