Most enemies faced in Cyberpunk 2077 will be the fearsome gangs scattered around the streets, but you would be mistaken if you thought every gang was the same.

This diversity takes the form of different beliefs, businesses, and aesthetics as well as different regions on the map where each gang resides. Not every gang is created equal, however....

In both Overwatch 2 and the original game, nothing is more important than the cast of playable characters. Standout characters with unique abilities and playstyles are crucial to any hero shooter finding success, and Blizzard has nailed this aspect of the game thus far.

Beyond gameplay, though, gamers love the heroes of the Overwatch universe for their personalities, backstories, and designs....

Developed during one of the most creative periods in gaming history, it should come as no surprise to hear that the Super Nintendo was constantly pushing itself with new hardware, modifications, and peripheral.

As if Slime Climb wasn’t terrifying enough, it looks a new variation in the upcoming season will introduce Big Yeetus to the end of the stage. A new clip from the official Fall Guys Twitter account shows a player trying to catapult themselves across the map using the swinging hammer, only to fall to an early death.

Many players have fallen short when attempting to rescue Kent during The Silver Shroud mission in Fallout 4. That may be due to not utilizing the correct gear or knowing what to say to exact fear in Sinjin’s men when the time comes. However, it could also be due to the fact that there was a common glitch impeding the optional objective from the very start of the mission. It’s a shame, really....

Most gamers play and enjoy multiple video games, and it’s often up to modders to combine popular franchises unless there’s an official crossover happening. Halo fans playing Fallout 4 can now experience the Covenant’s iconic plasma rifles in postapocalyptic America thanks to a mod. Fallout 4 already has a huge selection of guns in the nuclear wasteland that Fallout players know so well, but there’s been no official events or DLC that crossover with the Halo franchise....

As many fans of Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG franchise will often attest, the Obsidian Entertainment-developed Fallout: New Vegas is far and away the best game in the series thanks to its solid combat and gear system, varied quests, and in-depth social interactions with a colorful cast of non-playable characters. With this being the case, one modder by the name of Sir_Bumfrey_Diggles has decided to take the entire map for New Vegas and update it in a major way by modding it into Fallout 4, Bethesda’s most recent entry in the franchise....

Bethesda releases the latest video in its seven part series detailing Fallout 4′s S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stat system, with the most recent footage focusing on Agility.

Not only will the primary stat in the S....

Despite the Fallout 76 Collector’s Edition bag controversy having begun only days ago, the story is rapidly developing and continuing to spiral out of control. Bethesda’s bait-and-switch of a canvas bag for a cheap, nylon bag sparked a heated discussion involving Collector’s Edition owners that inevitably led to a response and compensation offer from Bethesda. The in-game currency offer, 500 atoms (roughly $5 USD), has seriously angered and offended fans who purchased the Collector’s Edition....

Xbox made backward compatibility a major part of its pitch for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. The ability to transition to a new console while retaining the previous generation’s game library is inarguably popular. But alongside backward compatibility, Xbox also pitched game enhancement for older games running on new consoles. Little to none of that promise has borne fruit, however. Skeptical Xbox users should know that plans for enhanced Xbox One games on Xbox Series X/S remain in development....
