Skyrim is massive and has never lost its popularity since its release in 2012. I don’t just mean that Skyrim is huge in terms of popularity though, the game is just plain huge. Players typically spend hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of hours on a single character. The world is unending, and there are so many NPCs you probably could play for a week straight, and still not meet them all, no matter how long you have played....
Arena brawlers are a dime a dozen these days, with plenty of forgettable titles that never really figure out their identity. Dumb as Wizards - from indie game developer and publisher Random Dragon Games - hopes to avoid that same fate when the game makes the jump from Steam Early Access to full release next month. Thankfully, as a game “focused on accessibility and fast-paced casual fun, compared to its more complex inspirations…,” it seems that Dumb as Wizards is coming into the arena brawler genre with a good head on its shoulders....
Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons are two of Wizards of the Coast’s most iconic properties, so it’s no surprise to see a bit more crossover between the two in recent years. The planes of Magic: The Gathering have been a homebrew setting for D&D for decades now for many players, but recent 5e books like the Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica have helped make select planes a more official campaign setting for the world’s most popular tabletop RPG....
According to Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson, the number of EA Play subscribers doubled in just three months, reaching nearly 13 million users by the end of December 2020. The massive increase in subscriptions is partly due to EA’s agreement with Microsoft to offer EA Play with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for consoles as of November. Last September, EA Play reported 6.5 million users, a number that took 18 months to reach....
Following the massive success of Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls Series, the MMORPG, Elder Scrolls Online, was a natural move. With built-in lore and most of the groundwork already laid, this gave them time to focus on all the extra content that comes with an online game. Mounts being an important part of any MMORPG, they become a key part of any player’s aesthetic style, showing the community that you’ve either put in the serious grind or that luck is on your side....
Fortnite recently added what is essentially a full-blown Crazy Taxi limited time mode, where every team gets their very own - and very fast - taxi. The goal is to collect 50 stars before anyone else, and as you might expect, there are pretty much no rules whatsoever. The news comes from the official Fortnite Twitter page, which recently posted a tweet describing the brand new Tilted Taxis game mode. It’s still a battle royale in essence, in that teams are pitted against one another in a match where only one squad can emerge victorious - except instead of legging it around the island with a pickaxe, you’re putting pedal to the metal in a modern day rendering of everybody’s favourite Crazy Taxi....

While Fall Guys isn’t an overly competitive game, there are still players who want to win the mini games by any means necessary. However, this makes for a good laugh when some hardcore players who opt to cheat can’t make it on to the next round, especially when there is a Twitch streamer broadcasting the moment. Since the game’s release a month ago, Fall Guys has become incredibly popular, and big names such as Ninja and Mr Beast have donated a lot of money to charity because of the game’s impact....
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is one of the breakout stars of the 2020 gaming year. While the game certainly had some excitement built up behind it before launch, not many anticipated the Fall Guys dominating the world of video games over the summer and into the fall. Developer Mediatonic is definitely thrilled with the success of the game so far, and in celebrating a major video game award, the lead game designer took a slime path....
With Fall Guys developer Mediatonic having sorted the server issues from launch, the studio is free to work on fixing other issues and creating the next season of Fall Guys content. As such, patch notes were released today that include several requested features and adjustments to the game. The patch will release some time “in the next week” if all goes as planned, and one of its biggest aspects will be the addition of some basic PlayStation 4 controller settings to Fall Guys....
To say that the post-nuclear world of Fallout is steeped in lore would be an understatement of near criminal proportions. From the isometric view of Shady Sands to the vast expanse of the diplomatic Capital Wasteland, as well as from the sin-filled strip of New Vegas to the hustle and bustle lifestyles of the Commonwealth. These puzzle pieces fit together to create one of the most enjoyable and captivating worlds in all of gaming....

The latest creation gives players the chance to share their settlement creation blueprints with the rest of the Fallout 4 community.

Since officially announcing Starfield at E3 2018, Bethesda has kept quiet about its highly anticipated sci-fi game. It has yet to provide fans with a look at the in-development title, beyond a vague teaser trailer. However, one fan has an idea of what Starfield could look like. YouTuber Skullzi TV, who also uncovered a Ubisoft patent about Watch Dogs 3, has now posted a fan-made trailer based on what Bethesda’s Starfield could look like....
It’s been four years since we last traveled the world as Adam Jensen, as he set out on a quest to expose the shadowy cabal behind the Illuminati and unravel their global domination conspiracy in the cyberpunk-themed game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Now, picking up two years after the events of Human Revolution, the upcoming sequel, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, puts us in back Jensen’s augmented skin as he works as an anti-terrorist strike force envoy investigating and terminating criminal “Augs”—that is, people with cybernetic implants that intensify their natural abilities....
Just last week, Microsoft Senior Director Albert Penello addressed performance comparisons between his company’s next-gen console, the Xbox One, and the PS4 saying there are things about their system that are “not fully understood.” In essence, he was trying to say that, although reports suggest the PS4 is 30% more powerful than the Xbox One in terms of raw power, those differences might be negligible when it comes to running games....
About a week ago, Capcom released a brief gameplay trailer for Devil May Cry 5 during Tokyo Game Show 2018 that highlighted the many new weapons and skills that Dante will be wielding once the forthcoming hack-and-slash title officially hits store shelves. Now, those who want to delve into even more of what the character will have to offer should be delighted by the fact that the publisher and developer has decided to put out more than 20 minutes of gameplay showcasing the series’ central protagonist in action....
Warning: contains spoilers for Doctor Who: Flux Episode 5 ‘Survivors of the Flux’ The first Master story my son ever saw was ‘Spyfall’, last year (yes, it was only last year). A bit later we finally began the pilgrimage and watched the entire New Series over the space of eight or nine months. ‘Spyfall’ clearly had an impact, because every time a new character in a suit turned up, he’d immediately point to the screen and tell me “That’s the Master!...
