Electronic Arts releases a cinematic trailer hyping tomorrow’s holiday update for Battlefield 4, which will include two new maps as well as various fixes. DICE’s Battlefield 4 has had an interesting history. When it launched, the game’s online component was completely broken, shaking consumer confidence in the popular shooter franchise. However, DICE has greatly improved upon the game since then with a number of patches and DLC expansions - the latest of which is releasing as soon as tomorrow....

The studio is most well known for developing Star Wars: The Old Republic, a game which is no longer considered canonical in the Star Wars universe....

When fans of the beloved Dragon Age franchise caught word that studio BioWare was working on a new Dragon Age game, chaos and excitement ensued. But now, those dreams have seemingly been dashed to a slight degree. Dragon Age creative director Mike Laidlaw has stated that Dragon Age 4 isn’t definitively set in stone just yet. It began on Twitter, when a Dragon Age fan asked Laidlaw about the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition’s final DLC, Trespasser....

In a few weeks’ time, BioWare fans and Anthem hopefuls will be able to dive into the VIP and open demos. Those who pre-order the online-only multiplayer action RPG will be able to suit up at the end of January, with everyone getting to try out the demo at the start of February.

Getting through the entirety of the “Seal the Deal” Questline in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Zombies map is tough, just like most of its Easter eggs. There are a lot of steps involved & a lot of ways players can mess it up or get lost. So, in order to help people get this done before the next map comes out, here’s our full guide. Starting Things Off Right First and foremost, bring a high/max level gun with the best attachments, there’s literally no reason why a player should bring anything else....

This Black Sails review contains spoilers. Black Sails Season 4 Episode 5 Money, money. It all comes down to money. Eleanor needs it, because her husband needs it (because he’s an entitled ass who blew a fortune, if he’s anything like the historic man). The pirates need it – to finance their rebellion (powder, cannonballs, and rum don’t come cheap). And by the end of this episode, we’ve got one more player in the game after the money....

As players of the immensely popular World of Warcraft are well aware, Blizzard isn’t afraid to dust off its fabled banhammer and boot players from the game’s servers for breaking the rules. When members of the community begin utilizing mods or bots to cheat, it’s only fair to the rest of the player base that these users get their up-and-comings. This time around, however, Blizzard has sent a very strong message to those willing to overstep their boundaries in World of Warcraft by issuing a ban that’ll impact over 100,000 players....

Bloodborne is the cosmic horror title FromSoftware gave fans that they didn’t know they wanted but ultimately loved. These days the internet is filled with millions of fans yearning for a sequel to the 2015 title, but would simply settle for a 60 frames-per-second update for the PS5. Though Dark Souls is considered FromSoftware’s magnum opus, Bloodborne might be its most beloved release. The game is full of sickening and interesting lore all centered on blood, the cosmos, and the yearning to be something greater....

Micolash, Host Of The Nightmare is a strange boss the player faces in Bloodborne. He dwells in the Nightmare Of Mensis, a horrific dreamland the player must battle through to escape. For the average player Micolash is little more than a bizarre foe, perhaps a nod to Nicolas Cage’s iconic scene in The Wicker Man. But diving into the lore and exploring both Micolash’s past and his motivations in the game unveils a disturbing tale of hubris and evil....

Insight is a stat in Bloodborne that is incredibly important to the game’s lore, world-building, and even core gameplay systems. However, Bloodborne never goes out of its way to explain Insight’s many uses and why it is an integral part of the game. Due to Bloodborne’s mysterious setting, and FromSoftware’s game design in general, it will be hard to put your finger on precisely what Insight’s use is or how you obtain it....

Needless to say, there’s no shortage of quirky, bizarre, terrifying, and hilarious characters in the Borderlands series. In fact, fans would be hard-pressed to find anyone in the games, main character or humble NPC, who doesn’t have at least a little of all four in them. In Borderlands 3, Pain & Terror didn’t exactly have the biggest roles, but they certainly made their presence felt in their relatively brief time on the screen....

Sole developer FYQD Studio released a new gameplay trailer for its in-development title Bright Memory: Infinite during the Inside Xbox live stream today. To the uninitiated, FYQD released Bright Memory via Steam’s Early Access program for the PC in January 2019, and the game officially left early access last March. However, FYQD decided to call this version of the game finished, and moved towards a more fleshed-out version with Bright Memory: Infinite....

For decades video games have been blamed for sub-par graduation rates, the increase in reported A.D.D. cases, as well as the general degradation of society - by a lot of out-of-touch lawmakers. Despite how you feel about the ongoing Battlefield 3 vs. Modern Warfare 3 fanboy war, there’s little debate that the Call of Duty franchise is the world’s current “video games are the bane of the world” whipping post - at least until, Grand Theft Auto 5 releases....

Released in February of this year on PC, Broken Lines was a compelling, albeit short, indie turn-based strategy game from unsung developers PortalPlay and publisher Super.com. Unfortunately, strategy games are a dime a dozen on Steam—quite literally during some sales—and it can be difficult for games deserving of more acclaim to be recognized amidst the absolute torrent of top-down, tile-based tactical titles. However, its recent jump to the Nintendo Switch eShop made us sit up and take note....

Last month, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War received a shot in the arm as Season 1 finally arrived. The mega update added the game’s first Battle Pass giving players 100 levels stuffed with new weapons, operator skins, blueprints, and more.

Nearly one month later, the midseason update has finally arrived bringing with it even more content and changes for players to check out....

The reboot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been popular with the majority of players. The success of Modern Warfare has been made evident by an impressive commercial performance as well as a consistently high player base. A key part of retaining a player base has been a stream of updates from the developer, Infinity Ward, and in Season 2 dismemberment rounds were introduced to help players take down opponents quickly and in a gory fashion....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players are now being treated to a playlist called the Cabin Fever playlist, which may be a double-entendre both with reference to the maps included in the playlist as well as the isolation many players are currently going through. Overall, the playlist has a running theme of smaller-sized maps with four of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s most-played modes. The modes in the Cabin Fever playlist are Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint; all of which are almost perfect for the smaller maps and set up for some intense, high-octane action....

The Call of Duty: Warzone community has been battling against the “infinite stim glitch” since the item was added to the game. Despite several patches, the stim glitch continues to make an appearance, and the Call of Duty: Warzone community is quickly growing tired of dealing with this problematic item. Four distinct patches have been applied to Call of Duty: Warzone’s tactical stim shot, but the item still manages to cause problems....

Call of Duty: Warzone has been host to some wowing moments in its time, with one player reviving a falling teammate in mid-air. Among the most insane and epic moments in Call of Duty: Warzone belongs one in which a player executed a string of attacks that were seemingly taken straight from an action flick. Reddit user drulander posted a video to the official Reddit page showing a Call of Duty: Warzone gameplay clip from the PC version of the game....
