Outside of Japan, the Monster Hunter series was considered one of Capcom’s more niche series of games. This is especially true when compared to the likes of Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and Devil May Cry. However, after the massive hit that was Monster Hunter World (along with its expansion Monster Hunter World Iceborne) it has become one of the most successful properties in the company’s library. Thankfully, the series was already a hit in Japan and as a result, several studios released what many have lovingly called “Monster Hunter clones....

The world of Android smartphones is very different to what’s offered by Apple. While Apple aims to give you a similar experience across its devices, Android embraces variety and offers phones from different manufacturers. The result is plenty of distinct personalities and features to pick between. That means personal brand preference plays a big part, aside from the core Android experience. Pricing is hugely competitive, too, which presents you with a lot of choices....

Whether you’re a hardened athlete, new to tracking your activity or sit somewhere in the middle, there really is a Garmin watch for every type of user.

Bethesda Game Studios game director Todd Howard reveals that the developer has “lots of ideas” for new games and that they “don’t plan on making small things”. Since it launched last month, Fallout 4 hasn’t received much in the way of updates. Bethesda Game Studios has created a patch beta testing program for PC users but it means that those outside of the program on PC and those on PS4 and Xbox One have yet to receive their first set of fixes....

Ever since the unveiling of Mass Effect 3’s Galaxy At War multiplayer mode, fans have been a bit skeptical of whether or not the multiplayer would interfere with Mass Effect 3’s trademark in-depth singleplayer campaign. After all, BioWare doesn’t exactly have much experience in multiplayer, leading many to accuse them of just shoehorning in multiplayer . However, BioWare’s Casey Hudson reveals that the team at their Edmonton development house actually wanted to have multiplayer in the first Mass Effect....

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout battle royale mode attempts to differentiate itself from other battle royale titles in a number of ways, with one of the most significant being its incorporation of features from the Zombies game mode. For example, players can fight hordes of the undead as they spawn around the battle royale map, and they can also open the mystery box to find rare weapons. Blackout players can even collect one of the most powerful guns in Zombies, the Ray Gun, and since it’s a one-hit kill, it’s definitely worth seeking out....

Not too long ago, Bravely Default II dropped on the Nintendo Switch. It is the third entry in the Bravely video game series and follows Bravely Second: End Layer which dropped on the Nintendo 3DS roughly six years ago. Bravely Second was a direct sequel to the original game Bravely Default, which also dropped on the Nintendo 3DS almost a decade ago. Bravely Default II features a whole new story, continent, and cast of captivating characters....

I’ve spent a stupid, frankly embarrassing amount of time down blupee holes today trying to crack the code hidden in the new Breath of the Wild 2 trailer. Someone spoke to me after I’d watched it at 0.25x speed 50 times in a row and I was like, wait, octaves can go that high? The brain worms are wriggling folks, and I don’t know what to do about it except this: I am going to try to make a case for the fact that Breath of the Wild 2 will feature Link, Ganondorf, and Zelda as playable characters, and that as well as chronologically being the last game in the series, it’s also the first one - sort of....

Destiny originally launched in 2014 and has had a strong following across two main games and several expansions for each title. Beyond Light is the current Destiny 2 expansion and has started laying the foundation for the next several years in the Destiny franchise....

Call of Duty: Warzone is an ever changing experience. Players are tasked to constantly find new ways to make it to the top – and equipment matters. With the consistent onslaught of massive updates Warzone employs, players have experienced shifts in the effectiveness of various weaponry. Recently, the Grau assault rifle received a bit of a nerf. The extremely popular, fan-favorite assault rifle received an increase recoil. The nerf is there, sure, but it is relatively negligible for more advanced players....

Call of Duty: Warzone recently added Zombies with the Haunting of Verdansk update, confirming the existence of its heavily-rumored Zombie Royale mode. While most Warzone players are simply trying to survive in the overrun, nighttime version of Verdansk, Call of Duty Zombies fans have quickly picked up on a special reference within the new mode. Captured by reputable leaker and Call of Duty Zombies YouTuber TheGamingRevolution, the undead hordes can be heard saying “Sam” during matches of the Zombie Royale mode....

Dataminers are gaining access to tantalizing glimpses of what’s to come in The Red Door, Activision’s upcoming reboot of Call of Duty: Black Ops. We know that Call of Duty 2020 will be a Black Ops reboot, and we know that there have been a ton of hints dropped in Warzone thanks to the relatively recent addition of the numbered bunkers (and particularly Bunker 11). Earlier this week, we got what appears to be the biggest leak yet of what Call of Duty 2020 will be about....

Call of Duty Mobile has built a reputation as a fully supported and well-made CoD game that can be played on the go, with new content being added regularly.

TiMi Studios interacting with fans has been seen since Call of Duty Mobile launched, with several Reddit comments being directly replied to over the past year....

They’re probably not the best option for travelling, but we do also think the sound is as impressive as earbuds can get right now....

The Nintendo Switch might be a mighty impressive handheld console, but it isn’t always the best place for last-generation ports. Despite boasting hardware that is comparatively more powerful than the Xbox 360 or PS3, the difference in architecture between a dedicated console and a mobile device is pretty stark. This has led to some ports to Nintendo’s hybrid platform being far from ideal or even acceptable ways to play specific games....
