The Song of Soma is the next main quest in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla after The Great Scattered Army. It tasks you with searching for Soma, the Danish jarlskona who recently lost Grantebridge to a Saxon named Wigmund. This isn’t necessarily a difficult quest in terms of combat, but navigating the foggy Fenlands can be a bit of a nuisance. That’s why we’ve put together this The Song of Soma guide as part of our complete Assassin’s Creed Valhalla walkthrough....

Astro’s Playroom is an adorable new platformer that will come bundled with all PlayStation 5 consoles. It’s main purpose is to introduce you to the DualSense controller and all of its unique new features, however, it looks like it’ll be much more than a simple tech demo. In a recent interview, Director Nicolas Doucet claimed that the title would have a playtime of roughly four to five hours. The news comes from Famitsu, where Doucet further stated that four different worlds would be available to players (Cooling Resort, GPU Jungle, SSD Speedway, and Memory Sky) and that the entire game is filled with tributes to the PlayStation legacy....

As loot boxes continue to come under scrutiny from various legal bodies, a member of the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) in Australia has stated that - at least in Victoria - loot boxes are considered a means of gambling. The debate over a “gambling” classification for loot boxes has seen defenders on both sides of the aisle. Just last month, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) argued that loot boxes did not fall under the legal definition of gambling in the United States....

The United States launched its first privately-owned manned spacecraft Saturday, sending Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule and Falcon 9 rocket. Those astronauts wore flight suits far different than what Americans are used to from the days of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, and they were apparently designed by the designer who worked on films like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice....

If a very cryptic and hidden series of messages is to be believed, Battlefield 5 might be set to add Dinosaurs to its realistic military shooter game. Considering Battlefield’s history with dinosaurs and fake or prehistoric creatures like the Megalodon, it’s not too far-fetched to imagine the large creatures making their way into the game, but there are a few logic leaps necessary to draw the connection. YouTube content creator JackFrags has a lengthy video that breaks down the evidence that supports dinosaurs being added to Battlefield 5, which you can watch below....

Now that the Firestorm battle royale mode is available for Battlefield 5, many are likely ready to drop into DICE and Criterion Games’ variation of the increasingly popular BR genre. Once players land, they’ll quickly learn that their starting inventory is small, allowing just two primary guns, a secondary, and four gadgets slot (two of which are locked to grenades and healing items, respectively). Moreover, backpacks will extend these gadget slots, but that doesn’t mean players should pick up everything they find....

Battletoads has a total of 61 achievements on Xbox. While some of these are pretty easy, like finishing stages or killing a certain number of enemies, not all are as straightforward. So if players are looking to complete the whole list of Battletoads achievements, one of them calls for players to find a Warp Wall while on a Turbo Bike. History of Turbo Bike Levels Since it was revealed at E3 in 2018, the new Battletoads game has been lauded as a return to old-school Battletoads goodness that fans are nostalgic for....

Dragon Age: Origins was released over a decade ago in November of 2009 and the game has only grown in fan following and popularity. Despite two more main titles being added to the Dragon Age franchise since the series launched, Origins remains a contender for fan-favorite, and players still enjoy returning to the original adventure in Thedas. As well as multiple pieces of downloadable content, Origins also received an expansion pack called Awakening....

To quote indie rock legends The Mountain Goats, 2020’s mantra seems to be “I’m going to make it through this year if it kills me.” We will all collectively breathe a sigh of relief once New Year’s Day hits, and a side effect of wanting the calendar to change is the desire to just get the holidays over with as soon as possible. Reality being what it currently is, most of us can’t (nor should we) see our friends and family right now....

What’s your favorite scary movie…. sequel? Had to think about it for a minute, didn’t you? Despite the horror genre being replete with sequels, prequels, requels, and spin-offs, the stuff nightmares are made of generally go down better the first time. In fact, how often can we say the second movie in a horror franchise—never mind the fifth—is even just okay? It’s rare, but when it happens it makes the fear all the sweeter....

The team at Bethesda UK has shared a video of a C.A.M.P. they stumbled across whilst exploring the wasteland of Fallout 76. The settlement was impressive enough to warrant a special mention from the developers, exhibiting top-tier customization that does exist outside of Animal Crossing. Constructed by Zu-Raku, the C.A.M.P. was created by merging a pre-existing Raider outpost with their own settlement, that resulted in a base that any resident of Vault 76 would be proud to dwell in....

After Fallout 76 was generally considered as one of the most disappointing games of 2018, it seems that Bethesda is still making amends. Now, as previously promised, Fallout 76 players who logged into the title at any point in 2018 can obtain the Fallout Classic Collection for free. For those unaware, this compendium includes the original Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. This offer from Bethesda will allow players to relive the first two Fallout games released in the 90’s back when the franchise was developed by Black Isle Studios....

This Better Call Saul review contains spoilers. Better Call Saul Season 6 Episode 11 ​​It’s no surprise that a series with a partial focus on the inner workings of a drug cartel would be so adept at presenting an addiction parable. Breaking Bad explored the theme of addiction with Jesse and Jane in a traditional albeit harrowing sense, but on Better Call Saul, Jimmy’s addiction isn’t chemical. Jimmy is addicted to the hustle, and not in the way that the worst guy you know from high school posts about on Facebook....

It has been nearly a year since we have learned that Beyond Good & Evil 2 was officially placed in development, which has caused many fans to hope the forthcoming sequel will be unveiled during the next annual installment of the “Super Bowl of video games,” E3 2017. Unfortunately, it looks like the game won’t be in attendance at the event, but the silver lining of the situation is that there is still the chance of the title being shown off sometime this year....

It’s October, and if you’re a Borderlands fan you know that means the arrival of the annual Bloody Harvest event. This year’s event will run until November 5, giving you plenty of time to complete all the exclusive challenges and earn some spooky new loot. To join in on the fun you’ll need to speak with your shipmate, Maurice, who is studying “human customs” and needs your help collecting Hecktoplasm.

Although all eyes are on the official launch of Borderlands 3, fans of the franchise are getting to enjoy the year of Borderlands by playing through the upgraded Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, which is commonly referred to as Borderlands Remastered. For those wondering, here is a complete list of changes in Borderlands Remastered, but one major change is the ability to import saves. To import a save, however, is not as straightforward as it may seem....

With 16 armor sets found in Breath of the Wild, not including those that can only be obtained through Amiibos, many players won’t test out each armor set in their adventures through Hyrule, as some aren’t necessary for traversing the harsh environments of the Tabantha region or Death Mountain, while others are simply better for certain combat scenarios than others. The Radiant Armor is one such set that many players can go through the game without ever finding or using, due to it being both a little obscure as well as very niche in its use....

Not too long ago, the video game developer Bungie officially launched the raid lair known as Spire of Stars for its science fiction shooter Destiny 2, with a plethora of fans going into it assuming that it would be a quick experience with little to no difficulties. As many Guardians will likely attest, though, the activity proved to be a bit harder than anticipated, which has led to the studio poking some fun at players who struggled with it....

Doritos and Mountain Dew frequently do promotional campaigns with major game companies. The Call of Duty franchise is no stranger to these partnerships, and a brand new campaign has started promoting Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Retro-style Mountain Dew cans and promotional Doritos posters and billboards will be used to set the stage for the era that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War takes place in. The promotion is planned to be more than just unique advertising designs....
