Call of Duty: Warzone has taken the Battle Royale genre by storm. Incorporating CoD’s fast-paced gameplay with the open-ended sandbox of the genre, FPS and BR fans alike have tried out this frantic game mode. Some players despise the squad aspect of certain BR games, however. Whether they prefer playing solo or dislike forming groups with others, Warzone has them covered by featuring solo and squad variants of Warzone. Those who play solo are in for a different experience, as information and map knowledge becomes paramount....

The Wrath of the Druids DLC was added to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and with it came the Dublin Champion Armor Set. It is the perfect thing to wear while you explore Ireland and fight the Children of Danu who are wreaking havoc across the land, based on its stats alone.

Going through the drama of the original series, everyone was left wondering what happened once Aang restored peace to the world. Luckily for diehard fans, the graphic novels were started shortly after. Answering a lot of the loose ends that were left at the end of the show, it’s time that the rest of the fans got some answers too. Moving the spotlight a lot more and focusing on different characters, it’s still Aang in the driver seat in the graphic novels....

25 It Doesn’t Actually Suck Right?? I’m honestly just as shocked as you are. I’ve been playing Call of Duty games for years, usually renting them from Redbox. Generally, I immediately realize why I don’ actually buy those games. I got WWII on a whim, and as a World War II movie and history buff, I expected it to feel a little bit disappointing. I’ll be darned if I’m not actually having a blast playing this game....

In the wake of the news that future Destiny games will be self-published by Bungie as the developer splits from its franchise deal with publisher Activision, Blizzard says that BattleNet will continue to support Destiny 2 on PC. In a statement today, Activision and Bungie said that both companies would be working together to transition the Destiny franchise seamlessly, and it appears that part of that will be to make sure that the current sequel gets full support on BattleNet....

For many, Beat Saber was one of the strongest pulls beckoning fans into the world of VR, as the visuals of swinging around lightsaber like blades to the beat of incredible music is such an enticing prospect. Despite being over two years old now, it seems that the game is showing no signs of slowing down, as Beat Games just announced it has achieved an impressive sales milestone. Beat Saber released on May 1st of 2018, meaning it will be celebrating its third anniversary this year....

It can sometimes feel like a thankless task to try to keep on top of your finances, especially if you have more than one account or any kind of credit or store card. Money comes in, money goes out and the classic saying applies: the more you earn, the more you spend. Apple Card UK alternatives: Monzo, Starling, Revolut Regardless of whether you’re always in the red, or you’re someone who doesn’t even know what being in the red is, it’s always good to know exactly what you’re spending....

Bethesda Softworks had an eventful year in 2017, and the coming of E3 brings with it questions of what comes next. Although a new job listing for a quest designer prompts curiosity, most of the company’s IPs are already fleshed out, as evidenced by the Bethesdaland theme from last year’s E3. Despite this, Bethesda’s Vice President of Marketing took to an interview to reveal what he thinks about their next plans....

Bethesda’s introduction of Bethesdaland at E3 2017 was one of the highlights of the week-long series of press conferences. Bethesda went out of its way to create an engaging, compelling aesthetic for its E3 presence that eschewed some of the more stale elements of the expo, and for the most part, it worked. There was just one problem, though, at least in the eyes of many fans of the developer’s work - there wasn’t really anything new in the way of Elder Scrolls or Fallout to show, and even cool announcements like a new Wolfenstein game and a huge expansion for Dishonored 2 felt a little muted as a result....

Now that the world has been introduced to BioWare’s new IP, Anthem, interested parties have been devouring information about the upcoming game as quickly as it can be made available. The first look at Anthem didn’t reveal much beyond the game’s setting and its aesthetic similarities to Bungie’s Destiny and HBO’s Game of Thrones, but it was enough to spur discussion about the title well after EA’s E3 2017 presentation had wrapped up....

Every year, Activision puts out a new Call of Duty game, and despite how awful 2020 was in almost every way, last year was no exception. Black Ops Cold War released in November to lukewarm reviews from critics and to absolutely abysmal reviews from other players. Check the user reviews on Metacritic and you’ll find a litany of reasons for why Black Ops Cold War just wasn’t as good as its predecessor, from bugs, a shorter campaign, and poor performance on the new Xbox Series X....

At the conclusion of today’s Livestream about the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion Shadowlands, Blizzard took an aside to address the current racial injustice that has been going on in America. “Injustice doesn’t cease just because we look away,” the company stated. “Black lives mattered a month ago, black lives matter today. And if that phrase is difficult to hear, know that I and others who speak those words aren’t saying that your life has any less worth, we’re only calling attention to the ways in which our societies seem to need a reminder that black lives matter....

Find a lamp, head back to Hunter’s Dream one last time and experience the nightmarish realism that Unreal Engine 4 brings to Bloodborne’s creepy safe haven. When environment artist Simon Barle wanted to learn how to work with Substance Painter, a 3D painting software, he chose Bloodborne’s Hunter’s Dream as his subject; the results were impressive. In an interview with 8 live, Barle explains how he rebuilt Hunter’s Dream from the ground up in Unreal Engine 4....

When it comes to innovative and landmark video game franchises, FromSoftware’s Dark Souls and Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda are hard to beat. Both franchises have helped create their own style of game within existing genres, with unique quirks and gameplay features that make something feel decidedly Souls- or Zelda-like. Blue Fire from developer ROBI Studios takes inspiration from both Dark Souls and The Legend of Zelda, with some 3D platforming thrown into the mix for good measure....

Borderlands fans are an extremely dedicated group, and that dedication has extended to the world of cosplay over recent years. One Borderlands cosplayer has gone above and beyond with her psycho cosplay, as every bit of the look is tailored to match the iconic enemy type of the series. Going by the username Hallogeenlamp, the cosplayer poster her psycho outfit to Reddit. Donning the look of a regular psycho as opposed to cosplaying as the beloved psycho Krieg, the Redditor shows off the amazing cosplay through a series of photos....
