Last year, Bungie challenged its Destiny 2 player base to raise more than $777,777.77 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during GCX 2020. In return for this incredible act of charity, Bungie agreed to create an official Destiny toaster and sell it in its store. GCX 2021 now starts with Bungie revealing the fruits of their year-long labor. Thanks to the generosity of Guardians from around the world, the official Destiny 2 toaster is now available for pre-order....

Whether it be going on raids or adjusting to the Beyond Light rework of the game’s core systems, Destiny 2 fans have been plenty busy as of late. It seems like Black Friday shopping will not be a break for some Destiny 2 fans either, as the Bungie Store is seeing a major sale for the massive day of shopping. Destiny players that may be upset about the removal of Destiny 2’s loot cave can look to the Bungie Store to ease the disappointment, as there are plenty of discounted items in stock....

Over the past few years, battle royales have taken over the online competitive shooter genre. From stand-alone games like PUBG and Fortnite to added game modes in Call of Duty Blackops 4 and Battlefield 5, fans have many games in the genre to choose from. Over the past year, Call of Duty’s second attempt at the genre, Warzone, has quickly become one of the most popular battle royales currently on the market....

One of the coolest new features of Call of Duty: Warzone’s Season 4 is the new jailbreak event. The Season 4 update was delayed by more than a week due to national protests and arrived on June 11 with a significant amount of surprises for players, including several new in-game events. The events include a firesale event, a supply chopper event, contraband missions, and, most importantly, a jailbreak event.

In a post detailing the new update for Call of Duty: Warzone, Raven reveals that the DMR has been nerfed again. With the new, major changes being far more impactful than the previous alterations to the rifle, Call of Duty: Warzone players should finally be seeing an end to the gun’s dominance. The previous DMR nerf was quickly followed by players sharing their disappointment, as changes were only made to the weapon’s headshot damage as opposed to its larger issues....

Game Rant recently sat down with professional Call of Duty player Sean “Seany” O’Connor of the London Royal Ravens. Our interview came right before the explosive Call of Duty League Championship Weekend that just wrapped up, in which Seany and the London Royal Ravens reached the top four spot. While the Call of Duty throne wasn’t in the cards for the Ravens, they still managed a great underdog story- beating out three rivals teams in a row to escape elimination and reach the top four....

Black Adam just enjoyed the biggest solo opening of Dwayne Johnson’s career. That has got to feel good for an actor who’s pursued the DC antihero since at least 2006—back when he was first approached about playing the character in a Shazam! movie. Almost 20 years later, Johnson was able to finally don the black onesie in a solo movie where Black Adam was neither hero nor villain… in fact, he was quite a bit like Johnson’s old school WWF wrestling persona: The Rock, the People’s Champion....

Despite Assassin’s Creed Valhalla not showing a whole lot of gameplay during last week’s Xbox Series X presentation (which even Ubisoft acknowledged and apologized for), little bits and pieces of news have been hitting the internet lately which reveal more information about the game. The latest piece of news to grace the internet deals with some of the mechanics that the development team has decided to bring back to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla....

Mechanical keyboards are all the rage in the gaming community – and rightfully so. Unlike their membraned cousins, mechanical keyboards are more responsive and offer increased tactile feedback to help improve your gaming sessions. However, prices for mechanical keyboards often start at well over $100, making them prohibitively expensive for large portions of the PC playerbase. Aukey understands this frustration, and its entry-level KM-G12 is an affordable choice for people looking to dip their toes into the mechanical world....

Ubisoft is working on an Avatar game, titled Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora. The news was announced today at the Ubisoft Forward event, complete with a detailed cinematic. That’s right - before any of the three new Avatar films hit theatres, we’re getting a video game based on the 2009 blockbuster instead. It won’t be a long wait either, as the trailer already revealed a 2022 release date. The trailer showcased the lush world of Pandora, as recreated in Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine....

What ends up on the cutting room floor can be just as amazing, or even better, then what made the final cut. In RPG games, where players can customize their adventure along with their character and a wide variety of items and quests are available, there’s a lot that designers don’t get to add or finish. Baldur’s Gate is one of the oldest and most iconic of the RPG genre and draws from the extensive library of Dungeons & Dragons for both story and game mechanics, so designers and programmers had a lot of resources during the game’s development....

In the time since Beat Saber’s release in May 2018, it has only featured a single-player mode. However, developer Beat Games has announced it will add a multiplayer mode to the beloved VR rhythm game on October 13.

However, details have remained sparse since....

While Japanese horror films enjoyed a global “boom period” in the late ’90s and early 2000s (and we’ll certainly be talking about some of the movies from that era very shortly), some of the best horror movies of the last 70+ years are J-Horror films....

We’ve gathered the very best for you, right here, but if you’re looking for a specific genre you can find it linked in the table right here....

If you want to try out VR, you might be discouraged by the price of investing in a proper PC-based system, or indeed underwhelmed by the graphical capabilities of less expensive standalone headsets. That’s where Sony’s PlayStation VR comes in - it’s one of the best ways to get into VR without needing all that kit. It’s an add-on for your Playstation 4, and handily, is also compatible with the Playstation 5 (with the help of a free adapter)....

This gives players an incentive to create a roster of diverse and skilled characters to create useful strategies....

The rework to the Hearthstone reward system has been live for a few weeks, giving players enough time to voice their dissatisfaction. According to the developers, the changes are certain to result in only a net positive gain for users as they grind throughout each expansion, but several hiccups along the way, and Blizzard’s usual lack of meaningful communication with its community, have resulted in an ongoing backlash online. Quest Bugs And Radio Silence When the rework launched in November, there was a major bug preventing players from receiving certain quests in their log....
