One of the better additions to the Zelda series in Breath of the Wild were the dozens of mini-bosses scattered across Hyrule’s map, giving players some challenging battles that are lost as a result of the way the game was designed. One of these mini-bosses, which can be found very early in the game, is the Stone Talus.

While attempting to make the world of online gaming a less toxic place is an admirable cause, the Bully Hunters organization seems to have gone the exact wrong way about it, facing strong backlash and losing its sponsors in the wake of a recent livestream. The Bully Hunters held a livestream this past Thursday, April 12, in an attempt to show how it can help female gamers that are being harassed online, specifically in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive....

Consoles are no longer just home to video games.

This was a major cornerstone for the initial promotion plans of Microsoft’s Xbox One....

There are tons of operator bundles being added with every update in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. With so many bundles being released so quickly it can become difficult to notice the minute details and subtle, or not so subtle, references buried in the items. Modern Warfare’s developers have worked movie references into past titles, but never have so many amazing characters been fielded at one time. The operator bundles provide cosmetic skins for several characters....

Every Call of Duty player has to endure heartbreak at least once. It hits at the most inconvenient time, when just a little care is needed. It starts with a little grenade to mark a location, then a few seconds later, the care package is set for betrayal by falling on a building or straight onto the player. Players have lost so many care packages in the history of Call of Duty, now one player may have found a new, hilarious way to lose a care package....

A jury finally made in a ruling in pro wrestler Booker T.’s lawsuit against Activision.

He used the side-by-side images to show the similarities in hairstyle and outfit, and even down the to the signature attitude Booker T....

Call of Duty: Warzone is overrun with hackers, and the players have had enough. It’s just like what happened to PUBG a few years ago. Just as soon as Call of Duty: Warzone grew to become the most popular battle royale game in the world (second only to Fortnite), it became overrun with cheaters. In fact, it’s gotten so bad that players are reporting examples of wallhackers, aimbotters, and more on a daily basis....
