Developer Dean “Iksar” Ayala recently took to Twitter to answer a wide range of Hearthstone-related questions, and one of the more interesting revelations was about the Warlock Hero Power. Blizzard apparently discussed changing the ability during the early stages of the game but could not find a reasonable replacement, so the plan was scrapped. This is fascinating to learn, because the Warlock class in Hearthstone has always been known for its unparalleled card advantage....

Most who have played the horrific and incredible masterpiece of gaming known as Bloodborne are likely quite familiar with the various main types of damage in the game such as Fire, Bolt, and Arcane. Though, there are hidden ones as well that are only hinted at in a weapon’s item description in true sneaky FromSoftware fashion. One of the most useful is Serration, as weapons with this hidden trait do a significant 20% more damage to beast-type enemies, which proliferate Yarnham and the surrounding areas....

The BloodRayne franchise is returning from the dead under new ownership, which will lead to ports of the older games and new titles in the future. The BloodRayne franchise stars the titular dhampir, who fights against an evil cult during World War II. The BloodRayne franchise spawned three games, several comic book series, and a trilogy of movies over the course of its run. The series heavily promoted the sexuality of its main character and she even appeared in Playboy magazine, despite the whole “not being a real person” thing....

Certainly for many fans, the official reveal of Borderlands 3 was the biggest news to come out of Gearbox’s recent PAX East panel. That said, some players were undoubted thrilled by the company’s showcase of Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, a remastered version of the original Borderlands. Now, Borderlands remastered is available, and those that are jumping into the game for the first time may be wondering how to farm quick XP and weapon proficiencies in the late game....

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild contains 15 stables that are all scattered about Hyrule. They are made of wonderfully-colored yurts with a giant horse head topping them. The best part about these stables is that they aren’t just for horses, they’re a multi-purpose tent. Here at these stables, Link can find a bed to sleep in, items for cooking, recipes to eat, directions, elixir ingredients provided by Beedle, and side quests!...

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is unquestionably a hit with fans of the series and with casual players. The game has a vast, complex world with an incredibly entertaining main storyline and tons of interesting side quests. One integral part of the main story is conquering the 4 Divine Beasts and returning them to the control of their original masters, to be used in the coming battle with Calamity Gannon....

Last week, Dead By Daylight brought us the K-Pop killer, Ji-Woon Hak. The killer, also called The Trickster, has been influenced by real K-Pop groups in the industry. Today, BTS producer DJ Swivel explained the inspiration behind the K-Pop killer. DJ Swivel, or Jordan Young, has been in the music industry for a while and has worked with BTS for the past four years. Throughout his time in the music industry, DJ Swivel has also collaborated with artists such as Kanye West and Beyonce....

It’s no secret that Destiny was given a drubbing by critics in the wake of its release. However, there’s certainly an argument to be made that a game of this type can’t really be reviewed in the traditional sense — and that’s exactly the stance that Bungie COO Pete Parsons seems to be taking. In a new interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Parsons has the following to say about the challenges a reviewer faces tackling a game like Destiny:...

My favorite stories involve real people doing real good things for others. With the media so focused on stories of gloom and doom, those of people helping others, through charitable or courageous acts, and of people standing up for and protecting their community, stand out that much more. It’s those people, like a Bangkok firefighter dressing up as Spider-Man to save an autistic boy, who set the examples we need in our lives....

Multiplayer gameplay is widely regarded as the staple of the Call of Duty franchise; it’s what many people play the franchise for and it sees the single-player campaign play second fiddle. But this year, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is switching that up, by ditching single-player and solely focusing on the multiplayer gameplay that so many Call of Duty fans enjoy. With the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 multiplayer reveal trailer, publisher Activision and developer Treyarch explain how this year’s entry “raises the bar” for the franchise....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare season 4 is here, and with it has come a ton of new content. While most of the new offerings in the game come from the Modern Warfare season 4 battle pass, the Kali sticks are a new melee weapon which must be unlocked through more traditional means. There aren’t a lot of melee weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare at the moment, so the introduction of the Kali sticks is a breath of fresh air....

Season 4 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone is just around the corner, and players are now preparing themselves for a new wave of weapons, maps, and battle pass tiers to dig into. This upcoming season will likely continue the trend of ever-increasing quality in Modern Warfare seasons continues, but there is solid evidence now for just a few of the additions that players have to look forward to....

After releasing the free-to-play Call of Duty: Warzone, Infinity Ward has given players a treat by making the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer free again for a limited time. This is the second week in a row that Call of Duty has had a special event and the second weekend the game has been free to download. Call of Duty featured double XP and double weapon XP last weekend, which helped players quickly rank up and unlock attachments and gun camos....

Activision has confirmed what new content Call of Duty: Warzone players can look forward to in the game this week. It’s been announced that Warzone will be adding more guns to its lineup in the next update, with four new guns coming to players’ arsenals. Upon downloading the next Call of Duty: Warzone update, players will be able to find the 725 shotgun, MK2 Carbine .50 GS, and EBR-14 strewn about the Warzone map....

Now that Call of Duty: Warzone has been out for a few days, players are naturally beginning to unravel the mysteries and secrets behind the gameplay and design of the franchises’ newest battle royale mode. Players have made quick work of exploring the previously revealed map and locations that make up the Warzone map. Unfortunately, players are also quickly discovering some fairly broken glitches and exploits within Warzone. The newest and perhaps most noteworthy exploit that has been discovered allows players to stay in the gas ring that closes in on players as the match progresses....

The latest Call of Duty: Warzone patch not only adds John Rambo and John McClane skins to the battle royale mode (making it the unofficial ’80s action stars named John update), but if you know what you’re doing, you can even open the vault hidden in the Nakatomi Plaza building recently added to Warzone‘s Verdansk ’84 map. While the legendary Hans Gruber sadly doesn’t make an appearance in Warzone (at least not quite yet), you can fulfill his exceptional thief ambitions by breaking into the Nakatomi Plaza vault and stealing the riches inside....

Cambridge Audio has been designing and building audio equipment since the sixties. Despite growing in size and popularity it still maintains a lean team who work in-house to create the ultimate sound reproduction. If you’ve not heard of Cambridge Audio before that might be because it is only sold in Richer Sounds. If you have heard of it that’s probably because you know good audio brands and want your kit designed in the UK....

Atlus has promised to investigate the numerous glitches and performance issues that are present in Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne HD Remaster. The original version of Nocturne was released for the PS2 in 2003, and it had a few glitches that froze the game in the middle of battle, but they were so rare that it was possible to never encounter one during a full playthrough. It was possible to play Nocturne on the PS3, as Atlus made it available on PSN, but this version of the game seemed even shakier than the original....

Just like the lid was blown off of Battlefield 3’s forthcoming trio of DLC offerings earlier than DICE was expecting, the secret is out on a new service for the game reportedly called Battlefield Premium. PlayStation Blog Europe made the mistake in announcing the service early, and thankfully a few sources were able to grab at least acknowledgement of the announcement’s existence. Not many official details are known about Battlefield Premium — the announcement page has since been taken down — but all sources are pointing towards June 4th as the date for the service’s reveal....
