It’s been a tough stretch as of late for BioWare as its latest release, Anthem, failed to resonate with fans. While the company has reaffirmed its commitment to the game through a major overhaul down the road, Anthem was largely seen as a continuation of the disappointment streak the studio was on from other recent titles like Mass Effect Andromeda. While the game may have hurt the brand, it certainly didn’t extinguish its popularity....
Last year’s Blair Witch is one of my all-time favorite horror titles. Not only was it a successful translation of the beloved franchise to gaming, but its bleak, cerebral narrative elevated it to the level of true psychological horror greats - like Rule of Rose or Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. It was a terrifying experience, one that managed to choke me into submission with its unrelenting atmosphere. Naturally, then, I pounced at the opportunity to experience it again on the Oculus Quest....
[UPDATE: A clarification on the number of employees surveyed has been added. Previously, the report claimed over half of Blizzard employees were surveyed but has since been corrected to significantly less than half.] The games industry as a whole has been in the news quite a lot in 2020 and not all for positive reasons. Many hidden truths have finally surfaced regarding developers dealing with crunch, revelations of sexual harassment within Ubisoft, and toxic online communities....
Drawing inspiration from Bloodborne and David Cronenberg is isometric indie Souls-like Morbid: The Seven Acolytes. Developer Still Running announced Morbid on Saturday during the Future Games Show, making it easily one of the highlights of the event. Morbid is tentatively planned to launch in 2020 on PC, according to the game’s Steam page. The announcement trailer for Morbid makes clear its influences. The game takes place in a dark, Lovecraft-era world with run-down churches, dingy streets, corrupted temples, and nightmarish iconography....

The upcoming remake of Demon’s Souls by Bluepoint Games is one of the most highly anticipated PS5 games announced so far. Though its successor, Dark Souls, gained incredible popularity for its challenging and engaging mechanics, Demon’s Souls never quite got the reputation it deserved for starting the whole franchise. Bluepoint Games is known for taking great games that are a little out of date and modernizing them while still maintaining all of the things that made them so great, and the Demon’s Souls remake is the studio’s second chance to prove that with a major title....

Yes, I know, Minish Cap is Capcom Zelda and therefore not necessarily integral to the Breath of the Wild narrative currently being worked on by Nintendo. But do you know what? Who cares? Nintendo should have adopted Vaati, who is a far more intriguing villain than Ganon ever was, almost two decades ago. The Capcom/Nintendo divide with this series doesn’t need to be as hard and impenetrable as it traditionally has been, and Breath of the Wild 2’s decision to use sky territories is unequivocal proof of that....
Truly, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the game that keeps on giving. So you’ve spent hundreds of hours in the main game? You’ve conquered all the DLC as well? That’s good going, sure, but you haven’t played as Cloud Strife yet, have you? The world of modding is a strange, beautiful, befuddling place. It’s like venturing into The Twilight Zone and discovering that all the rules of the gaming universe as you know them are completely obsolete....
While in most Zelda titles, Zora Domain is one of the later regions that Link will explore in Hyrule, in Breath of the Wild, it is generally the first region that players will explore instead. As the only region that isn’t burning hot or freezing cold, alongside the relatively weak enemies in the immediate area and the prize for clearing Vah Ruta, Mipha’s Grace, being so useful, there’s no reason to not go to Zora Domain before anywhere else....
Brennan Lee Mulligan is one of the best DMs around when it comes to guiding a party of eager adventurers through creative worlds of wonder. With that said, taking on the role of DM can be intimidating due to the pressures of worldbuilding and taking on the persona of every NPC character that the party meets while on their journey, and as we have seen on Dimension 20, this is no small task....

While the new singleplayer content is an enticing follow-up to the original Black Ops, most fans have been eager to get more details on Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer content. During and after the official reveal, tons of new information has been confirmed about the multiplayer offering in this year’s Call of Duty. More information on the new maps, multiplayer modes, custom classes, guns, and more were all revealed, however one particular detail proved to be divisive among the rest of the good news....
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s big Season 1 update earlier this month added all kinds of content to the game, including new weapons, a Battle Pass, new multiplayer maps, modes, and more. It also made it much easier to access Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer split-screen options, and added split-screen to Zombies mode. Unfortunately, the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War split-screen feature has some major issues that are giving players serious problems....
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War won’t be out for another month, but already the franchise’s next entry is already landing itself in hot water with fans. With Black Ops Cold War’s first open beta currently underway, players have taken issue with how the game’s time-to-kill (TTK) was changed from its alpha. A fast-paced series like Call of Duty has to be particularly mindful of how long it takes a player to take out another....
The mid-season addition to Modern Warfare and Warzone is the FiNN LMG, a unique gun unlike anything else added so far. It has the potential to upset the current LMG meta and is going a long way to help this season’s guns compete with the magnificent weapons that graced Season 4. After recent balance changes to the BRUEN, the FiNN may just be able to eke out a spot as one of the top LMGs in the game with the right attachments and setup....
It has been almost a year since the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and players are still putting out guides to help with the Damascus grind. While many players have already finished the infamous challenge, there are still those who are stuck on the harder to beat Call of Duty: Modern Warfare weapons. Out of all the launchers, the Modern Warfare JOKR challenge is one of the hardest to complete....

Call of Duty streamers, news sites, and theorists worked for hours to try and solve the puzzle in hopes of a glimpse at the reveal trailer. After finding tons of secret ciphers scattered around a room in Warzone’s farmhouse, players set to solving the puzzles....
Even weeks after new Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav abruptly canceled the nearly-completed Batgirl movie, people are having a variety of reactions. Michael Keaton, who was slated to reprise his role as Batman in the movie, seemed fairly nonchalant when asked about it at the Emmy Awards. “I think it was a business decision; I’m going to assume it was a good one.,” he told TVLine. Directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah have received support and encouragement from a variety of filmmakers, including Edgar Wright and Kevin Feige....
In 1992, I begged my father to take me to see Candyman. He had already turned me into a horror fanatic so he needed to follow through and take me. After the film was over, I was terrified for weeks. My brain would manifest Candyman in the shadows of my room while I slept. As an adult, I don’t fancy the film as much, but I realized the allure of Candyman was that he was a terror specific to the Black community despite the circumstances of his death....
