When it comes to cheating and pirating video games, developers have their hands full in what feels like a never-ending struggle. There are several options available for developers to detect when a game has not been acquired through legitimate means or when software is being used to gain an unfair advantage against other players. However, recent titles like VALORANT and DOOM Eternal go too far, and players should not blindly accept such intrusive software being installed on their PCs....

There’s no denying that Son Goku is a hero at the end of the day, but Dragon Ball is not a story that centers itself around heroism. In spite of what Funimation’s English dub might push, Dragon Ball is about the pure pursuit of martial arts, with any heroics the main cast committing more a natural circumstance of their world than any real desire to do good (not that Goku doesn’t want to fight for the planet he cares about....

The spice must flow, and for the most devoted cinephiles in North America it tasted like popcorn and concessions this weekend. With Denis Villeneuve’s Dune finally in theaters in the U.S. (as well as UK, China, and several other significant markets), the science fiction epic commences its greatest battle—against being released simultaneously on HBO Max. And as of right now, it’s doing relatively well with an estimated box office take of $40....

Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance is shaping up to be a formidable action title, borrowing heavily from the lore established by novelist R.A. Salvatore. The hack-and-slash action RPG brings the legendary drow Drizzt Do’Urden to the screen for the very first time, as well as many of the terrifying monsters that inhabit the Forgotten Realms. While Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance doesn’t quite capture the experience of sitting down to play Dungeons and Dragons, it’s actually an excellent way to introduce fans to the world of DnD....

April 2020 is one of the most unique months in gaming history. Besides the fact that two of the biggest PS1 games ever have remakes coming out next month, April also straddles the line between games actually coming out and games that might get delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic. In any case, following the killer line-up of games that came out in March of this year (and are still coming out), the month of April has some big shoes to fill....

BioWare is one of the most celebrated and critically-acclaimed video game studios in history, particularly when it comes to RPGs.

In Mass Effect, Commander Shepard is tasked with stopping rogue Specter Saren, and his army of Geth. In order to do so, they will need an elite squad that can overcome the odds.

Abilities and loadouts that are designed to compliment Shepard in battle, no matter how the commander chooses to approach combat....

Bug trainers might be some of the easiest opponents in the early game but that doesn’t mean their Pokemon aren’t marvelous! Bugsy, Burgh, and Viola certainly show just how powerful they can be in their gym battles throughout the series. Still, not every pure Bug type would be put on Aaron’s team in the Elite Four. Not all Pokemon are created equal and it’s impossible to deny that some simply stand out above the competition....

Sega, created in 1960, started off as a coin-operated game manufacturer. The first coin-operated game they created was Periscope, an analog shooting gallery game that simulates submarines attacking warships. As arcades began to die out in the 80s, Sega decided to enter the home video game console world by releasing the Sega SG-1000 which came out in 1983, the same year as the infamous North American video game crash so it was released exclusively in Japan....
