This season, Fear the Walking Dead has adopted an anthology story structure, with last Sunday’s season premiere focusing on the very-much-alive Morgan, who just barely survived the wrath of axe-swingin’, baked bean-eatin’ bounty hunter Emile LaRoux, hired by none other than the trailblazing Virginia (Colby Minifie). Needless to say, by the end of the episode it looks like Morgan’s fighting spirit is rejuvenated, and he’s dead set on wresting his people from Ginny’s grasp....

Destiny: Rise of Iron kicks off another new week of content for players with the weekly playlist reset, and here is everything that Guardians needs to know for February 21, 2017. The past week was a big one for Destiny, as the popular online shooter received its first big update of 2017. While not focused on new content, Hot Fix 2.5.0.2 did address a number of lingering issues within the game, such as weapon balance and how shotguns and certain guns like The Clever Dragon are far and away the most popular choices for players within the Crucible....

The Polymorph tree in Divinity: Original Sin 2 has a little bit of something for everyone.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has multiple main characters for the player to take control of and take on their journey through the game. Each of these characters brings something different to the game like special dialogue and new story missions. Each character has their own story that intertwines with the main story. Some of these stories are great, but others are lackluster. Some of these characters make great companions while some of them have players wishing they chose someone else....

As a general rule, good games are made great with the inclusion of co-op options. With that in mind, it is no wonder that curious fans want to know if Stranded Deep includes any form of co-op. Surviving the harsh islands of the new survival sim with friends would be far more enjoyable than doing so alone, after all. Unfortunately, it appears that, for the time being, Stranded Deep does not offer co-op on PS4 or Xbox One....

As one of the few Microsoft executives always counted on to make appearances when new hardware is on the horizon, it seems the company’s President of Interactive Entertainment Don Mattrick has left the company. After unveiling Microsoft’s next console, the Xbox One, official word has arrived that Mattrick’s time with Microsoft is over, taking the role of Chief Executive Officer of social games publisher Zynga, with founder (and former CEO) Mark Pincus claiming he’s just what’s needed to right the ship for the company’s future....

The Donkey Kong series is home to one of gaming’s first and most valuable families. While Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong are certainly the most prominent members, their numerous relatives have shown up constantly from the SNES to the Nintendo Switch. Not all of the Kongs have had frequent appearances, though, and many have been lost to time after incredibly brief appearances. These are 10 Kongs that you haven’t seen in a very long time, or might not have seen before....

Just recently, Bandai Namco confirmed plans to initiate a 24 hour open beta for Dragon Ball FighterZ that will serve as a followup to the most recent testing period held last weekend, as many players reported a litany of server issues that effectively kept them from jumping into the action. Now, it looks as if the publisher and the fighting game’s developer Arc System Works have even more good news for fans, as the companies have officially revealed a new playable character just a week before the game’s launch....

Buzz surrounding the forthcoming fighting title Dragon Ball FighterZ has been consistently loud and unwaveringly strong in the months since its studios debuted the first gameplay footage at E3 2017 earlier this year. Since then, fans have been treated to a slow trickle of new details, screenshots, rosters, and trailers – the latest of which was released today. This time around, Arc System Works and Bandai Namco Entertainment have unveiled a trailer for everyone’s favorite Namekian, Piccolo....

The featured Crucible playlist in Destiny this week is Combined Arms, a vehicle-centric PvP mode that has gotten some changes since the launch of Rise of Iron. Surely many Destiny fans have forgotten all about the featured Crucible playlist with the discovery of the new exotic pulse rifle, Outbreak Prime.

Now that the dust has settled on Ryan Reynold’s snarky take on the titular Detective Pikachu in Detective Pikachu, there is now a much clearer picture of just how well the movie did. People are often disapproving of movie adaptations of video games and vice versa. Frequently, many cite the Super Mario Bros. movie as a prime example of how not to make a video game movie adaptation. On the other hand, video game adaptations of licensed properties, as seen in Superman 64, can be difficult to get right as well....

While we could argue for days about which game series has the most dedicated modding community there’s no question that The Elder Scrolls deserves to be a part of the conversation. From the amazing Macho Man mod for Skyrim to the “Better Bodies” mod for Morrowind, modders have been improving, tweaking, and adding some extra flavor to Bethesda’s open world games for more than a decade. One of the biggest efforts among The Elder Scrolls community is a mod called ‘Skywind’ that seeks to recreate the world of Morrowind within the Skyrim engine....
