Although the strange nature of 2020 has seen it produce some of this generation’s biggest sleeper hits, few can measure up to Mediatonic’s quirky indie platformer Fall Guys. Going from a relatively obscure take on the battle royale genre to one of the biggest multiplayer games of the year, it goes without saying that Fall Guys has a bright future if it continues following its current path. For those wondering what’s next for Mediatonic following the launch of its recent viral phenomenon, the studio has just announced that it has opened a new studio in Leamington Spa in the UK and is hiring more staff to bolster its ranks....

The popularity of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is showing no signs of slowing down with Season 2 starting next week. Mediatonic has been busy preparing the updates for a new Fall Guys season, but it seems on top of brand new levels and rewards, the game will also be introducing some new customization features. Oliver Hindle, community manager for Fall Guys, previewed a new customizable nameplate feature that is coming to Fall Guys Season 2 on Twitter....

One mischievous Fallout 4 fan prank calls people while using the voice of the game’s Preston Garvey, with the results being equally confusing and hilarious. After doing our best to take care of each and every one of the settlements in the world that needs our help, we all deserve a laugh today. Thankfully, the YouTuber ICEnJAM has put together a fun Fallout 4 video featuring Preston Garvey prank calling several different social service representatives to ask for their assistance with the curbing of Ghouls, Raiders, and any of the other nefarious scourges found within the Boston Commonwealth of Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG....

Instead of creating a simple settlement, one Fallout 4 player goes the extra mile to create a sprawling fortress as a residence in Bethesda’s retro-futuristic RPG. For those Fallout 4 players who believe that their humble home in the Boston Commonwealth is simply the bee’s knees, after checking out the veritable military compound known as the Fusion Core Fortress, they might want to put in a bit more effort to customize a settlement....

No doubt, the controversy surrounding the Mass Effect 3 endings has sparked an especially heated conversation in the gaming industry - dominating news headlines day after day. The debate has been fueled by some mixed messages (as well as perceived indifference) within the BioWare camp - leading one exceptionally frustrated fan to file a complaint with the FTC. However, while EA and BioWare attempt to make sense of the situation, and find a way to appease angered Mass Effect fans (or not), other fan-favorite developers, Ken Levine and Paul Barnett, are also weighing in with their unbiased opinions on the growing controversy....

At today’s Ubisoft Forward event, the developer unveiled a gorgeous cinematic trailer for Far Cry 6, and for those interested in the Collector’s Edition, they’ll get a specialized in-game weapon replica. The upcoming Far Cry 6 will be set in Yara, Cuba, and will encompass a violent dictatorship headed by the game’s antagonist, Anton Castillo. His soldiers brandish many weapons to subdue Yara’s citizens, including flamethrowers. And now, fans can get life-sized model flamethrowers with their purchase of the Collector’s Edition of Far Cry 6....

Bungie says Destiny’s current Infusion system will continue in the Rise of Iron expansion, and players will be able to carry Year 2 weapons forward into Year 3. Destiny’s Infusion system was first introduced in The Taken King expansion, allowing players to absorb higher level Light items into the items they liked most in their inventory. The April Update perfected the system in the eyes of most fans, making it a 1-to-1 Infusion system instead of a stair-stepped mechanic....

This Dexter review contains spoilers. Dexter New Blood Episode 6 Dexter Morgan and Kurt Caldwell are on a collision course. It’s not just that Iron Lake is too small for two serial killers, it’s also the fact that both men seem to be fighting for the soul of Harrison. Obviously, Dexter is conflicted with whether he should open up to his son. Not many people would react to news of their dad being a serial killer well, but because of their history and the resentment Harrison already feels, plus his worsening mental state and desire to “hurt people,” Dexter is probably the best person for Harrison to talk to....

Cheating has many names: stat padding, boosting, and even more extreme phrases like ‘hacking.’ But in DICE’s eyes there’s only one name for these types of people - banned. Over the Battlefield 3 twitter, DICE has revealed that they have wiped the stats of many accounts and banned hundreds of others. It has been said that players have been using certain pieces of in-game equipment to increase their score, mostly for team actions....

Hype for The Walking Dead’s eleventh and final season may be slow and incremental, but it has proven revelatory—albeit sneakily. Case in point, an unassuming teaser from last week flashed a blink-and-you-miss-it clue about the show’s introduction of potential key character Elodie, who, in the source material comics, was Michonne’s long-lost daughter. Yet, with Michonne actress Danai Gurira having exited as a series regular last year, it seemed like a natural conclusion that the storyline would go to someone else....

Not all of Warframe’s expansions have been good to new players. The most recent Heart of Deimos expansion and previous open-world additions have tried very hard to make sure new and low Mastery Rank players have access to them, but certain mechanics like Railjack basically required many hours of progression before you could fully access them. Digital Extremes is trying very hard to make sure that all future content drops will be playable by both veterans and newcomers alike, according to chief operating officer Sheldon Carter....

Disney+ UK has unveiled its September content schedule, and the big centrepiece – as you may have guessed – is the premiere of Mulan, which will skip its UK cinema release after a controversial decision by Disney bosses, who previously hadn’t been very keen to put their upcoming big budget projects on the streaming service during 2020’s ongoing madness. The unveiling of the highly anticipated live-action Mulan movie on Disney+ seems to be a first step towards bypassing cinemas for the foreseeable future, and it will be interesting to see how successful the gambit is with a price tag of £19....

It would be easy to say Pokémon fever was at an all time high in the year 2000, but in reality, the series has only had a few minor bumps in its roaring popularity over the past two decades. It all started with two simple RPGs about catching monsters on the original Game Boy, but that simple formula ended up creating one of the biggest media properties of all time. From there the franchise spread far and wide with trading cards, toys, TV series, and basically anything else you can think of....

This article contains Doctor Strange 2 spoilers Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has had a somewhat bumpy ride to the screen. The film was officially announced in July 2019 at that year’s San Diego Comic-Con, with Benedict Cumberbatch returning to the title role and Scott Derrickson coming back as director. But Derrickson left the following January and was replaced by Sam Raimi – a choice approved almost across the board by Marvel fans....

Haven’t watched this trailer yet? Well, what are you waiting for? Now, here’s some of the big stuff we found… Patrick Stewart as Professor X The biggest developments in the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer might relate to characters and concepts that haven’t even been hinted at in the Marvel Cinematic Universe just yet. No, your ears do not deceive you, this trailer absolutely features a voice cameo from Patrick Stewart as Professor X....

Warning: contains potential spoilers for the 60th Anniversary in references to behind-the-scenes set photos and footage. Neil Patrick Harris is going to be part of Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary. In a variation on the ‘show, don’t tell’ storytelling maxim, the publicity team and Russell T. Davies have stirred fans into speculation by releasing a photo of Harris in costume and make-up but not telling us who he’s playing. The images we’ve seen suggest multiple possibilities, and speculation around the casting will help to keep Doctor Who in the public consciousness – a speciality of Davies as a showrunner....

Dr Disrespect returned for his first stream after his suspension from Twitch last month and immediately started doing what he does best: taking shots at the competition. Dr Disrespect, known for his long running rivalry against former professional eSports player and Twitch legend Shroud, took aim at another pillar of the Twitch pantheon: Tyler “Ninja” Blevins. Viewers quickly shared with Ninja the clip of Dr Disrespect smack talking him, who made some “in my defense” comments of his own....

Every martial artist dreams of having the kinds of teachers found in Dragon Ball. Who wouldn’t want to be able to do a Kamehameha? Goku and the Z Fighters were all able to learn from lots of masters over the years but few are on par with the venerable King Kai. Anyone can train with King Kai as long as they are given the honor of keeping their body and can cross Snake Way....

Dragon Quest Heroes adds the large-scale hack and slash battles of Dynasty Warriors to the RPG world of Dragon Quest to give new and old fans of the fantasy series endless hordes or adorable monsters to slay. Omega Force’s trend of taking its large-scale combat outside of Dynasty Warriors and into other popular franchises kicked off with Nintendo’s Hyrule Warriors, but it’s possible that the lack of love for the Wii U console held the game back from becoming a major hit....

If you play Dungeons and Dragons, you probably like to deal damage. Preferably, lots of it. But, even though most, if not all, players love to deal damage, many of us are unaware of how to maximize our character’s damage output. Now, certainly, Dungeons and Dragons is about a lot more than making the most efficient character possible. It’s quite enjoyable to make character decisions based on the story, not the statistics—hence the “role-playing” in the term “role-playing game....
