“You realize the wilds of Gloomwood are full of dangers, don’t you, mage?”, asked the gruff man wearing boiled leathers and a chainmail vest. “Oh, yes, talk around the taverns is that they are to be avoided, if at all possible.” replied the wizard in his patch-ridden silk robes. The gruff man put a hand to his face. “And you’re planning on traveling through them in nothing more than a dress?...
The only thing better than getting a game on sale is getting one for free, something gamers have become accustomed to with the likes of Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus. EA has also been giving away free games through their “On The House” program on Origin since 2014, but today the company announced that it would no longer be doing so. EA initially made the move quietly, simply changing the On The House link to reroute to the Origin Access page....
Despite being over a decade old now, few RPGs have been able to draw players into their stories quite like Bioware’s Dragon Age: Origins. Part of that has to do with the game’s different lifepaths, called origins, that set the player on one of six introductory routes to the world of Thedas based on their race and class. The origin chosen will affect how the world interacts with the main character and even the dialogue options at some points....
A clumsy Thief is a dead Thief - or so you might think. Eidos Montreal’s much anticipated sneak-em-up title finally sleuthed into view earlier today, only to be met with a barrage of lukewarm critical reviews. Perhaps, after all of the game’s well-documented woes, this was the only likely outcome. Still, there remains hope for the reboot. With little in the way of any next-gen competition to hamper the game’s sales, the Garrett-starring series may yet achieve another reasonably sized commercial success - and with that success, comes the inevitable talk of a sequel....
Ever since its initial reveal at E3 in 2019, Elden Ring has been highly anticipated by the gaming community and especially by long-time fans of From Software’s Souls and Souls-like games. Ever since then, there has been almost no information released other than leaks and rumors, which has seemingly only added to the game’s mystique. Many fans have been left wondering when there will be more news released about Elden Ring, since it has been in development for quite some time....
As of this writing, there have been 608 days since Elden Ring took the stage at E3 2019. Barely an official word has been spoken since then, much less anything as informative as a trailer, and rumors have reigned in its absence. Typically, these rumors take on the form of bets on where it’ll appear, often resulting in anyone banking on it appearing feeling “hollowed.” That’s not to say that every rumor has been this way, though, as some have resulted in Elden Ring concept art....
The Elder Scrolls Online is getting a brand new piece of major DLC alongside its upcoming update 27, this one bringing two new group dungeons. The DLC, Stonethorn, includes the dungeons, while update 27 will include a number of interesting new changes to gameplay that should appeal to players. The last piece of DLC to arrive for The Elder Scrolls Online was Greymoor back in June after its slight delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Stonethorn set to follow up “soon,” according to the game’s website....
Glitches, the usually minor malfunctions we run into time and time again in video games, can be annoying, comical, or downright frustrating. Of course, it all depends on what game, when, and where the bugs pop up. While they can occasionally offer an advantage, the glitches we run into most often just offer a second to chuckle at the screen and maybe restart from the last checkpoint. Encountering a glitch can be like finding a needle in a haystack, but it can also be exciting to catch a glimpse of something that was never meant to be seen....
Soulja Boy got himself into hot water last December when he launched a series of low-priced video consoles onto the market that ended up being nothing more than illegal emulators, all of which the legality-ignorant entrepreneur took down after suggestions of an impending Nintendo lawsuit. Most thought that the dust had settled on this bizarre episode, which petered out with Soulja Boy claiming he had sold over 5 million units, but apparently the music artist wasn’t done....

Esfand and Mizkif put the headsets to good use while in Macy’s, posing as Amouranth’s bodyguards. When a cashier asked Amouranth about her camera, she began explaining what the group was doing....
Throughout cinema history, we’ve experienced various property crossovers. Whether it’s a monster mash-up with Frankenstein meets the Wolf-Man, a serial killer showdown with Freddy versus Jason, or even the masked vigilante Zorro fighting alongside the Three Musketeers, there’s always been mass appeal toward these event-type movies. In 1996, audiences got the crossover for the ages. To save themselves and Tune World, the Looney Tunes enlisted the help of His Airness, Michael Jordan, to win a game of basketball against the evil Mr....

It has taken Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout less than a week to become the hit game of the summer. So many people wanted to give it a whirl on day one – 1.5 million new players to be exact – that its developer Mediatonic had to overcome some serious server issues. Those issues appear to have been left in past, for the most part, and now Fall Guys’ growing community can enjoy the freshest take on the battle royale genre in years....
Season one of Fall Guys, the new Battle Royale from Mediatonic and Devolver Digital is well underway, with a much larger audience than the developers, the beta fanbase, and even the publisher ever expected. And, one of the reasons this game is so popular is due to its adorable charm and bright neon style.

Players can get their hands on the iconic axe of Grognak the Barbarian in Fallout 4. Follow our simple guide to find and make the most of the powerful melee weapon. If there’s one truth about Fallout 4, it’s that there’s no shortage of weapons for players to use.

Fallout 76 had an undeniably interesting launch. While many criticized the game for not meeting the astronomically high expectations that had been set for Bethesda, 76 was still a true to form Fallout game. Being set in the expansive nuclear wasteland of West Virginia, the game certainly did not have a shortage of interesting and new locations for players to explore. One of the many Appalachian locales players have in their sandbox is Camp Venture, an area located right on the edge of The Mire region....
Fallout 76’s troubled launch, as well as many other woes, earned the game a negative reputation online shortly after launch. While Bethesda has taken steps to improve the game, going so far as to add NPCs in the Wastelanders update, it still has its fair share of trouble, as multiplayer games tend to do. However, a developer was recently hit by a prominent bug at an inopportune time. While playing Fallout 76 during a QuakeCon at Home stream, Associate Community Manager Devann McCarthy was hit by Fallout 76’s fast traveling bug live on stream....
