There are so many games out there that don’t get published by the mega-corporations that put out AAA titles on the regular, and some of them are so good that you’ll barely believe how few people worked on them. We play tonnes of indie games each year, from short little jaunts to the more in-depth experiences, and have rounded up the very best options that you can play on the One X, One S and Xbox One - check them out!...
Bethesda might not have the most stellar reputation right now — given their track record in modern times — but there’s no denying the fact that they still have a bunch of brilliant and imaginative titles under their belt to this day. One need only look at the sheer enduring popularity of Skyrim to understand why this is the case. The fifth entry in the popular Elder Scrolls series is still going strong to this day as one of the most-played games around, mainly due to its incredible modding support....
Viewers fell in love with Noah Centineo as Peter Kavinsky in To All the Boys I Loved Before, but he’s stepping into the superhero world in a big way with Black Adam. Centineo plays Albert Rothstein, better known to comics fans as Atom Smasher, a member of the Justice Society of America with a long heroic journey of his own. Like many JSA members, Atom Smasher is a legacy hero, with ties to both heroes and villains of the past, and he has an interesting relationship with Black Adam in the comics....
The saga of Black Mesa, the Half-Life 1 remake developed by Crowbar Collective, is far from over. In a new blog post on the Steam community forums today, the team behind this fan recreation has revealed that a new “Definitive Edition” is on the horizon. Since the initial remake took around 15 years to reach the finish line, its earlier levels are obviously not up to the same graphical quality as its later ones....
BloodRayne has made her long-awaited return, as remastered versions of her first two games are playable on PC, with BloodRayne: Terminal Edition and BloodRayne 2: Terminal Edition available now on GOG and Steam. BloodRayne was the half-vampire star of a series of action games that ran from 2002 to 2011. The series followed the titular heroine as she battled Nazis, who are trying to use supernatural allies in order to win World War II....
Bravely Default 2 is arriving on the Nintendo Switch this week, and to help celebrate, multiple characters from the game will be spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Launching on Thursday night, Seth & Gloria, and Elvis & Adelle, will be joining the rotation of characters available on the Spirit Board. They’ll only be there for a limited time, however, as they’ll be removed on March 2. You only have one week so get them fast!...
Cadence of Hyrule is a unique and unexpected collaboration that gives players a chance to experience a top-down Legend of Zelda game in a totally new way. It’s a mashup of Brace Yourself Game’s roguelike indie rhythm title, Crypt of the NecroDancer, and Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda franchise, and was developed by the former. Through combining features of the original game with some Legend of Zelda-inspired characters, monsters, and music, Cadence of Hyrule makes for a cross-over which is as enjoyable as it is ingenious....
On April 1, a number of video games celebrated April Fools’ Day with special in-game events. One of the funniest April Fools’ Day pranks in a video game had to be from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, with a playlist that made players think they were going to be playing on the popular Shipment map, only to be thrown in a match on the least favorite map, Piccadilly. With April Fools’ Day now over, Infinity Ward has removed the Modern Warfare April Fools’ Day playlists, replacing them with a pair of playlists that are sure to please fans....
Players looking to get more out of Call of Duty: Warzone have suggested that Infinity Ward adds a new item to the popular Battle Royale mode. The proposed item would be a rangefinder that could be used as an item that gives players a closer look at what’s happening in the distance with a number of advantages for co-op and adding new options for the best loadouts currently available. Originally suggested on Reddit by user u/aedanerickson, the rangefinder would take the place of the tactical equipment for loadouts in Call of Duty: Warzone....
Since the initial release less than a year ago, Call of Duty: Warzone has received over 80 million downloads. To put this number into perspective, Call of Duty: Warzone initially launched on March 10th, 2020; eight months ago at the time of publication. This is a massive user population as the game continues to update and retain users over time. The active player population of Call of Duty: Warzone continues to rise along with the download number as more players try out the unique battle royale experience....
Since the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone, players have been battling against each other and earning kills. It was not long before a player set the very first kill record in the game, but after several breaks, the challenge only continued to grow. Now, a Call of Duty: Warzone squad has broken the latest record for kills by a squad in a single game. The previous record sat at 143 kills within Call of Duty: Warzone....
Winning can be a difficult yet rewarding feat in Call of Duty: Warzone. While many final zone confrontations come down to firepower, some players are fast enough to outmaneuver enemy forces and secure a win against all odds. Call of Duty: Warzone is a game filled with opportunities to secure a win against any opponent. Call of Duty: Warzone offers players several team-based options, including duos, trios, and quads. These game modes are designed for players to bring in their friends and take on the squad’s battle royale experience....
Several days ago, Call of Duty’s long-rumored return to World War II was confirmed in the form of Call of Duty: WW2, and since then there have been a plethora of leaks and early disclosures about the forthcoming title ahead of Activision and Sledgehammer Games’ first official reveal that’s slated for tomorrow. Now, it seems as if even more unsanctioned information is making the rounds online, as GameStop marketing materials for the release have leaked to reveal details for the shooter’s special edition....
The official debut trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War has finally arrived. While we’ve known for quite some time that the next Call of Duty game would focus on the Cold War, we weren’t quite prepared for the nature of the trailer itself. It’s an odd preview filled with cryptic messages and a distinct lack of action sequences. Most notably, though, it focuses on an old interview featuring a mysterious man with some cryptic warnings about the slow takeover of a nation and its people....

Several months after its release in November 2020, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla continues to address the many bugs and glitches that have plagued the game since its launch. Just recently, the development team has updated its current known issues list in order to address the facial animation glitches that gamers seem to have found annoying while going through AC Valhalla’s dialogues and cutscenes. Most players of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla are likely familiar with the host of issues the devs have been trying to resolve....
Atlus’ upcoming digital concert Shin Megami Tensei Online Live 2021 Reason of Music now has a partial setlist, as well as a preview video. The estimated two-hour long performance will mainly be focused on the gritty and heavy sounds of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster, airing via streaming on March 20.

Hello, and welcome to another 5-second distraction from the madness of 2020 ‘what if?’ moment of retrospection here at Den of Geek, where we occasionally take a look at the deepfakes of YouTube and Reddit and then try not to judge their quality too severely. Instead, we tend to ponder how they make us feel on an existential level, and a deepfake starring Mr. Nicolas Cage as Captain America certainly has us reflecting on Marvel’s unseen multiverse, and what could have been....
Grand Theft Auto gives a lot to its players when it comes to the free roamer’s needs. You can drive through the cluttered streets of Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV, or dive into the depths of the surrounding oceans of Grand Theft Auto V… every time you boot up a Rockstar game, you can always find something new to interact with, or new locations to uncover. Every game from the Grand Theft Auto series has a massive amount of the map that is never used as part of the respective story, giving you incentive to ignore the plot from time to time in exchange for creating your own experiences....
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was released on April 27th, 2000 for the Nintendo 64. The game was directed by Eiji Aonuma and Yoshiaki Koizumi under the supervision of Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. The game would be re-released on multiple consoles and remade entirely for the 3DS in 2015. The game has tons of content packed into just three in-game days, and there’s much more that went on behind the scenes to make the game that we know and love today a reality....
