While it was only on display behind closed doors that were themselves behind closed doors, the presence (or lack thereof) of Skyrim’s Dawnguard DLC was certainly felt at E3 2012. Bethesda’s booth presentation, which included closer looks at Dishonored, Elder Scrolls Online, and Doom 3: BFG Edition, was certainly a highlight of the show, but it didn’t give attendees everything they wanted. But maybe Bethesda knew exactly what they were doing not bringing Dawnguard in full force to the show floor....

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has introduced one of the most unique Zombies experiences to date. Rather than there being a new map to kick off Season Two, Zombies was gifted an entirely new game mode in Outbreak with new ways to play. With multiple objectives and zombies getting powerful much quicker than traditional Zombies maps, the strategies for Outbreak are much different than traditional ones. Every Boss Zombie appears in Outbreak, as well as every weapon in Cold War Zombies....

Many Borderlands 3 fans are excited for the upcoming release of the game’s second campaign add-on, Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock. Gearbox itself is so excited for the DLC, it featured it prominently on its behind-the-scenes show called The Borderlands Show, as was confirmed last week. Not only did it show highlights from the first hour of the new storyline, Gearbox’s Head of DLC Production Anthony Nicholson shared info on Borderlands 3’s upcoming Mayhem 2....

At PAX East 2019, Gearbox finally announced Borderlands 3. The Borderlands 3 trailer gave fans their first look at the game’s four playable Vault Hunters, but Gearbox itself stopped short of providing specific details for the characters. However, thanks to past leaks that have since been corroborated by the Borderlands 3 PAX East trailer, we know some details anyway, including the name of the new melee-focused Siren. The name of the melee-focused Siren seen in the Borderlands 3 trailer is Amara....

Zelda Breath of The Wild is easily one of the best open-world games in recent years. The vast environments and bevy of quests harkened back to Ocarina of Time. Taking what worked for both 2D and 3D Zelda entries, as well as introducing lessons learned from the immersive sim school of game design, Breath of The Wild pushed the limits of what a Zelda game could be and created an experience unlike any other....

YouTube and TikTok personality Bryce Hall seems interested in playing Innersloth’s Among Us, after a recent interaction on Twitter with content gaming creators like Quackity, Karl Jacobs, and GeorgeNotFound. Just like how Lil Nas X played Among Us with Valkyrae, Dream, and Corpse, this roster will bring in a lot of views and might make other celebrities take an interest in playing the game. Bryce Hall was the first to suggest playing Among Us with Dream when he took the opportunity by quoting Dream’s tweet “sup dream when we playin among us....

With so many of us suddenly working from home, many of you are likely considering building or upgrading your PC right now. We recently had the opportunity to build a PC from scratch and discovered that a lot of computer parts are at an all-time low right now because of current market conditions. It’s a really great time to build a gaming PC if you’ve got the time and budget, and this guide is here to save you a little of both....

While November and December are always high points for the gaming industry, it seems last December outdid itself, generating a total of $3.29 billion in revenue. Although this is mostly due to hardware sales of the Nintendo Switch, it is worth noting that Call of Duty: World War II and Star Wars: Battlefront II topped software sales for the month of December. It is no surprise that Call of Duty: WWII is in the number one position, but some may be surprised by Star Wars: Battlefront II’s number two spot....

Since the initial release of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, several players have found a wide variety of bugs throughout the game. While some bugs can be minor and easily fixed, others can lead to players crashing, or worse. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is sure to improve with time, but this bug seems to be lethal to unsuspecting players. Treyarch tends to be quick when it comes to resolving bugs, but players are also quick to discover them....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War recently saw the addition of Nuketown ‘84, with the iconic CoD location’s inclusion helping with the game’s current lack of map variety. However, the new map did not come without its share of bugs, as the latest Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War glitch sees players going out of the map on Nuketown. The latest version of Nuketown sees the map taking on an appearance like that of the original Nuketown map, albeit a bit more dilapidated and graffiti covered....

The Call of Duty League is coming off of it’s fourth weekend of matches, this time taking place in Los Angeles hosted by the Guerrillas and OpTic Gaming. While this weekend held some of the most exciting matches of season up to this point, including a Minnesota upset victory over the Atlanta FaZe in the semifinals, the viewership saw a steep drop from previous weeks. The Los Angeles weekend peaked at just under 67K viewers....

One great feature in Call of Duty: Warzone is the wide variety of weapons it provides. New guns offer new options within the battle royale experience as fans adapt to an evolving meta. Call of Duty: Warzone’s upcoming merge with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War may result in a huge amount of choices weapons, according to a popular leaker. There are likely not a lot that fans who do not know about the upcoming Call of Duty: Warzone integration with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War....

With a new season, comes a new battle pass. The free tier of the season 5 battle pass can get you the new K9 Unit Operator Skill, the CR-56 AMAX functional weapon, Kilo Bolt-Action - Warship, and the Combat Axe - Lighthouse, at various tiers....

Handheld gaming has declined in recent years, with Nintendo being the only major company still pursuing the medium. It’s been over a year since the PS Vita was discontinued now, and Xbox never had a handheld console to begin with. Rather than make another DS, Nintendo opted to create the Switch, a console which in and of itself was revolutionary. Its hybrid console/handheld design allows it to fill a niche that the PS4 and Xbox One simply aren’t able to despite its lack of power, as players seem to love its portability....

Last week was big for video game retailers in the UK. CD Projekt Red’s open-world RPG Cyberpunk 2077 saw the UK’s second-biggest retail launch of 2020, only behind EA’s annual sports title FIFA 21. However, it quickly fell in the rankings, and Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla took the top physical sales position for the week leading up to Christmas. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla sales increased 66 percent for the week ending on December 19, according to GamesIndustry....

To be honest, “Scream” seems more like a setup episode than a finale episode, but it may just be me having been spoilt by the epic showdowns typically expected of season finales on western television. I wanted to see a fight between Reiner, Bertolt, and Eren of Season one Eren-Annie proportion. I thought when Eren accidentally discovered his new power of controlling normal titans that there was going to be more happening than just the Survey Scouts retreating back to the safety of the Walls—although to be fair, that was the smart thing to do under the circumstance....

Following the conclusion of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time, Electronic Arts has shuttered the doors of Harry Potter game developer, Bright Light. While the UK studio definitely found success with Harry Potter franchise brand recognition, the actually quality of the games leaves a somewhat mixed legacy for the developers. Movie tie-in titles are notoriously difficult prospects - even for studios that enjoy a lengthy lead time in production....

The moment the announcement trailer for Obsidian Entertainment’s upcoming first-person fantasy RPG Avowed dropped, observers were quick to note the game’s apparent similarities with The Elder Scrolls series. Not only will Obsidian’s new game take on the same genre, perspective, and sword-and-sorcery style combat as Bethesda’s flagship franchise, but there is another strange similarity between the two settings. Avowed is set in Eora, the world from Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity games....

The character agency is the Pokémon franchise is part of what makes it so great. There’s no right or wrong way to take on every gym leader. No right or wrong way to train your Pokémon. No one telling you how long you should spend playing the game before actually beating it. You can spend your time finding and catching every new Pokémon you encounter, and train them at your own pace....

Back 4 Blood will have both a campaign as well as PvP elements. It’s unclear if the campaign and PvP will be distinct and separate, or if they will blend together like we saw in the Left 4 Dead games. If it’s the latter, then fans should be able to expect special zombie types that they will be able to take control of in Back 4 Blood, though that’s just speculation at this time....
