Many consider Diablo to be the most important dungeon crawler to ever release. This classic from Blizzard shaped not just an entire genre but influenced the way video games design items entirely. The franchise is known for its addictive gameplay, thousands of items, and unique atmosphere. As with most games, every Diablo game has seen many changes throughout development that are for better or worse. Besides various items being removed, certain Diablo titles had entire quests and concepts removed due to developer arguments or conflicting with the game entirely....

For the first time in the history of FIFA games, digital downloads have exceeded physical sales. Could this be the start of a new trend, or is it more of an anomaly? That is something that will be decided, in part, by the next-gen consoles—all four of them. In previous years, when Microsoft and Sony wanted to upgrade their new hardware, we expected that there would only be one version of it....

This post contains spoilers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness With Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness now available to stream on Disney+, fans can slow things down and look closely at the many easter eggs hidden in the movie. Unsurprisingly, the cameo-laden Illuminati scene gets the most attention, in which Professor Xavier of the X-Men and the Black Bolt of Inhumans return to screen. Even more surprising was the appearance of “the world’s smartest man” Reed Richards, aka Mr....

Doctor Who Series 13 Episode 5 Review Warning: this Doctor Who review contains spoilers. If there’s one thing you can say about Flux, it’s that no two episodes have felt quite the same. For better or worse, each chapter has worked to establish its own tone and tempo, which has helped add to the sense of scale the story possesses. It also means members of the audience will appreciate some episodes more than others, depending on which flavour of Doctor Who they prefer....

When Funcom, the publisher behind Age of Conan and The Secret World, unveiled their in-development MMO based on the LEGO franchise dubbed LEGO Minifigures Online last summer we were very skeptical and none too impressed. Warner Bros. had previously attempted to breach the MMO market with Lego Universe Online but that game’s servers were shutdown less than a year and a half after launch. Would Minifigures online offer a “LEGO” experience worthy of the brand and the toys?...

Back in June, Dr Disrespect was suddenly banned from Twitch, with reports indicating that his ban would be permanent. And while there have been plenty of rumors about the reason for Dr Disrespect’s ban, nothing official has been revealed to date. Dr Disrespect himself has kept mostly quiet about the situation, but has insisted that he does not know why Twitch banned him. It’s been about two months since Dr Disrespect disappeared from live streaming, but it looks like he will finally be making his return today....

While many fans of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball series know everything about main characters like Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza and so forth, the franchise’s longest-running character (besides Goku himself) frequently gets overlooked: Bulma. While Bulma has been overshadowed and sidelined by the introduction of more powerful villains, particularly since Dragon Ball Z, she has played a huge role in the story since the very first issue of the manga and the first episode of the anime....

Last month, EA surprised many by announcing that it would be closing Visceral Games. The shuttering of the studio also meant that Visceral’s Star Wars game, which had been described as a story-focused adventure game, would be changing its scope too. EA has now shed more light on why it decided to move the in-development Star Wars game from Visceral Games to EA Vancouver and Motive and why the game had to change its vision....

The official Elden Ring YouTube channel just updated its profile, adding a hidden video that might be revealed later today during Summer Game Fest. Head to Elden Ring’s barren YouTube page, and you’ll find a playlist that claims it was “Updated today.” Move into the playlist, however, and there’s nothing to see. Fans are speculating that the video is unlisted and will be shown off later today during Summer Game Fest – which is currently running and should be wrapping up in about an hour....

Epic Games has confirmed that there are currently no plans to hold a Fortnite World Cup in 2021. The developer addressed the game’s competitive schedule for next year in a recent blog post, stating that all regular Fortnite Championship Series (FNCS) events will take place online. The blog post starts off by confirming that all live events have been cancelled for 2021, as Epic does not feel they can hold these events safely....

There are few things more nerve-wracking for a self-publishing indie developer than the launch of a new game in Early Access. Those first 24 hours often define a game’s success going forward, and may determine whether the game even gets finished. For ROCKFISH Games, the launch of Everspace 2 in Early Access had all levels of pressure, but luckily it seems like Everspace 2 has delivered, with ROCKFISH CEO Michael Shade said in a press release published by Gamasutra that its start has “exceeded our wildest expectation....

Getting close to halfway through 2020, many fans are wondering what may be in store for 2020’s Call of Duty title.

Even as 2019’s iteration continues to hold momentum, there’s many looking toward the future. As for 2020’s Call of Duty game, there’s been a lot of conflicting reports....

Paper Mario is a series perhaps best known for its unique and memorable companion characters. Though Color Splash and Sticker Star steered away from a big colorful cast of characters, the OG Paper Marios (Paper Mario and The Thousand Year Door) introduced unforgettable companion character like Goombario, Ms. Mowz, and the adorable Bombette. Paper Mario: The Origami King is the newest game in the series, announced this week, and it seems that companion characters may be finally returning to the series....

PS5 games might well cost $70 each, but each console will come with Astro’s Playroom preloaded and ready to go for free, and it actually looks pretty good. While there is still no word on how much a PlayStation 5 is going to cost, there have been hints as to how much its games will set players back. Well, more than hints actually as it has been revealed that NBA 2K21 is going to cost $69....

It wouldn’t be a next-gen console launch without an established franchise emphasizing the new console’s capabilities. For PS5, it’s Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. Insomniac is pulling out all the stops for PS5 already, with both Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Rift Apart coming at release/in the release window of PS5, respectively. While Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is coming out later, fans have seen more gameplay of Rift Apart, and it looks great....

For several years now, it has been a mystery what Bluepoint Games, the studio behind several remakes including Shadow of the Colossus, is working on. However, all speculation was put to rest when Sony unveiled at last June’s PlayStation 5 event that Bluepoint Games is developing a remake of the 2009 classic title, Demon’s Souls. Of course, the news that Demon’s Souls is getting a remake has since sparked excitement among its fanbase, who have long been requesting for a reimagining of the game....

A few weeks back, when I thought Falcon and the Winter Soldier might be as juicy a theory stew as WandaVision, I wrote about the prospect of Sharon Carter being the Power Broker. In essence, it felt like the show was so obviously setting her up as the Power Broker that such a twist would be too predictable, and that we were only supposed to think she was the Power Broker to give more weight to the final reveal....

The Railroad has been watching the Sole Survivor since they emerged from Vault 111 at the beginning of the game. Despite them knowing about the Sole Survivor, there is a lot about the organization that players might be missing. The organization is secretive, meaning there are many wastelanders who are Railroad agents. The Sole Survivor is able to help the Railroad take over settlements, allowing players to see how the group operates a little more....

When players first start Fallout 4, they are given the choice between a male character and a female character. Whichever is not chosen will become an NPC, either named Nate or Nora. Players get to see their experience as the Great War starts and the misfortunes that occur to whichever character survives. The Sole Survivor is thrust into a new world, inhabited by synths and ancient survivors of the war. Players are able to discover a bit of the characters’ pasts through the Pre-War introduction, while also learning about the characters after the bombs drop....
