Epic Games has been trying their very best to finish up work on Gears of War 3, and with the game set to release next month they’ve shifted into crunch mode. It seems they also need a little bit of help wrapping up the game’s development, because several job listings were recently spotted on Epic’s ‘Careers’ page (on their official website). This listing was spotted by French gaming site Xboxygen, which was then translated by Eurogamer....

Persona is already a spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series. It’s strange then that the spinoff is even more popular than the main franchise from which it was spawned. That’s the case in North America at least, which may be due to the fact that Atlus hasn’t exactly been steady with its game releases in the West. That is to say many of their titles are still trapped in Japan....

Last week, The Pokemon Company celebrated Bidoof Day with… well, not a lot. There was an event in Pokemon Go that was basically just an endless stream of ‘catch Bidoof’ tasks, a Rickroll Bidoof video, and a warm, fuzzy feeling that comes from seeing the loveable critter’s goofy teeth. Despite not much happening on the day, it still felt like the perfect celebration of what makes Bidoof great, and proves that every single Pokemon is worth celebrating....

It’s fun watching obstacle courses on television — be it heavy-duty challenges in American Ninja Warrior or the sheer fun in Wipeout and Takeshi’s Castle. However, players clamoring for a similar concept in video games won’t have to look any further. After all, Fall Guys puts players in the shoes of one of many contestants out for blood in this fun casual game. Of course, if by casual, gamers mean a battle to the finish line that involves pushing everyone else off the map....

The Fall Guys Battle of the Brands charity auction is now over, and the winners are Ninja, MrBeast, Aim Lab, and G2 Esports with an impressive combined bid of $1 million dollars made at the last minute, and well above the next highest bid. YouTube and TikTok group Funnelvision had the highest bid before that at $510,000. The auction ran for nearly two weeks from August 17 to 31 with funds going towards the UK based gaming charity Special Effect....

Fallout: New Vegas has a ton of locations that mirror real-world buildings and structures. Among the most famous of these locations is the Strip, a large row of buildings made up of casinos and other smaller structures. The majority of the city of New Vegas is found on the Strip, and there are many important characters that reside in the buildings around this location. Since the Strip is such a large settlement, it is easy to miss great side quests, characters, buildings, and history while vacationing in New Vegas....

Fate/Grand Order masters have been through much in the first half of 2020. Whether it’s saving the world in the main story or participating in raid-style events, it’s a miracle they have the strength to keep on going. But making it through the end of June means the usual anniversary prizes have finally arrived. This time, the 3rd anniversary runs from July 6th to July 22 and offers a lot for participating masters and their servants....

For a lot of us, comic books were (and still are) a means to escapism, where titans Marvel and DC would offer page-turning stories to invest in. Similarly, puzzle game Fate of Kai presents the same intrigue, but this time, you get to control how the story plays out. Trylight Game Studio has created an inventive way to tell a charming, narrative-driven story within the realm of video games. This puzzle title is an interactive, digital comic book, mimicking the style of the nostalgic choose your own adventure books, used in the spin-off Goosebumps series by R....

Morgan has had to walk a very hard path in Fear the Walking Dead season 6. Left for dead by Virginia and later hunted by an axe-wielding murderer, the veteran hero of the zombie apocalypse had to find a reason to live. It wasn’t easy. His friends taken and scattered, lead poisoning slowly killing him, and all hope for building a better world gone, it truly seemed like this would be the end of the line for Morgan....

Detective Pikachu is now in theaters worldwide, and as expected, the game is stuffed with easter eggs and references to the Pokemon franchise. This includes obvious nods to things like the Kanto region, as well as more obscure easter eggs, like the Pokemon Stadium announcer reference. However, Detective Pikachu has non-Pokemon easter eggs as well, including a Home Alone easter egg that has bizarre implications if you look into it....

Devil May Cry 5 offers plenty beyond the core story to keep gamers actively engaged, including a wide range of collectibles, upgrades, and secret missions. Extending the player’s Devil Trigger Gauge requires finding and utilizing purple orbs, including eight purple orb fragments scattered throughout the game’s missions. Collecting all eight is necessary to max out the player’s Devil Trigger Gauge, and thankfully, Devil May Cry 5 allows players to go back and replay levels whenever they like, so players can quickly revisit areas to collect any purple orb fragments that they missed....

Good news, everyone: the long-awaited fifth mainline installment in Capcom’s Devil May Cry franchise is fantastic. It is a return to form to rival the quality of its equally triumphant Resident Evil 7 from two years ago, and it’s heartening to see such a beloved franchise come back and make such an impact after what felt like an unbelievably long hiatus. Unfortunately, though Devil May Cry 5 gets many things right, it also falls into a few of the pitfalls of modern video game development, most notably through its use of microtransactions....

This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. When The Mandalorian namedropped Tython last week, Star Wars fans who grew up reading the old Legends Expanded Universe of novels and comics likely gasped. Despite the planet’s history as the likely birthplace of the Jedi, Tython had never appeared in a Star Wars movie or TV series before Ahsoka mentioned the planet in “The Jedi.” Just a week later, we actually get to visit Tython in “The Tragedy,” an action-packed episode that sees Mando not only have to deal with Boba Fett but also an entire platoon of stormtroopers trying to steal Grogu for Moff Gideon....

Discord launched only half a decade ago in 2015, taking the favorite features of TeamSpeak and making them more digestible in the vein of Skype, dominating the means that gamers communicate with one another. In a new report, it is apparently, after only 5 years, valued at a staggering $7 billion. This follows the news that Discord managed to double its player base in the span of a single year. This is likely due to the slew of new features such as video calling, screen sharing, integration with Steam, and so on....

The curse of early access is often an indie game like Ooblets will make a big splash on release but then fade a bit as updates come so fast and furious that they’re either hard to keep up with or they’re just bug fixes and patches. That’s the case with Ooblets, which got a successful start in the middle of July and has since then rolled out about 25 patches to get the game into a solid and stable state....

Goku’s gone through a lot of rivals over the course of Dragon Ball, but only one has the privilege of calling him “best friend.” Krillin has been a part of Dragon Ball since he trained alongside Goku for the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai. He’s one of the most prevalent martial artists in the story, maintaining his importance long after most of the Earthlings have bowed out. Krillin’s even become a mainstay in Dragon Ball Super, ensuring modern audiences don’t forget about Goku’s right hand man....

When Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot was first announced, fans were excited to see that it would feature an original character designed by series creator Akira Toriyama himself. Toriyama doesn’t design new characters for Dragon Ball games often, but the ones he does tend to be very well received. A good example of this is Android 21 from Dragon Ball FighterZ, a character that many feel was the saving grace of the game’s otherwise lackluster story elements....

Dungeons & Dragons rewards those who know how to exploit the rules, especially when building their character. As any DM knows, certain spells are so powerful that they border on game-breaking. But some options in battle are deceptively strong. With the right strategy, any player can turn tough encounters into easy (and hilarious) wins. With just a small array of spells, a little planning and an unsuspecting DM, these battle tactics will see players through even the hardest of encounters....
