E3, or the Electronic Entertainment Expo, started in 1995 and has been occurring annually ever since. At show, the biggest names in the industry let the press, fans, and anyone interested know about their upcoming projects. This year’s show was like many of the others in the past, with big announcements and big news regarding upcoming releases. The one major difference was Sony’s absence. For the first time in the event’s history, the console giant steered clear....

It was the news Animal Crossing fans had been waiting for, and it was glorious… mostly. We finally got a release date and trailer for the new Animal Crossing game, New Horizons. Unfortunately, the wait to get our hands on it is longer than expected, with the game set to be released on March 20, 2020. It’s not all bad, however, as the trailer showed us what to expect, including Tom Nook in a fetching Hawaiian shirt....

Many corporations have scrambled in the aftermath of the US Capitol riots to prevent further violence in any way they can.

The development follows the storming of the US Capitol by supporters of outgoing US President Donald Trump, resulting in five dead and property damage....

Spellbreak will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and other platforms upon launch, but only PlayStation 4 and PC players will be able to access Closed Beta.

A mere two years ago, Epic Games was worth an estimated $8 billion, but today that figure has more than doubled to $17.8 billion. New funding includes capital from Sony, who recently announced a $250 million investment, and organizations like Baillie Gifford, Fidelity Management & Research Company, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and several others. Exclusivity Outrage Led To Nowhere Throughout 2019, Epic Games was often in the news for all things relating to the dominance of Fortnite, as so much of the organizations success is owed to the battle royale game....

The Destiny 2: Beyond Light trifecta is finally completed with the announcement that Eris Morn is Numskull’s next 10-inch collectible statue. Eris joins The Drifter and The Stranger and the third statue in the series and the final mascot character of the Beyond Light expansion. Like the previous statues, Eris Morn stands 10" tall on a round, plastic base. The statue features Eris’s signature Hive eyes, studded armor, and the whispering Ahamkara bone she holds in her left hand....

CCP Games recently announced that its community-driven space sandbox MMO EVE Online has been awarded two Guinness World Records stemming from a 14-hour battle that occurred on December 30 - 31, 2020. This brings the number of Guinness World Records that EVE Online has received to four. The two recent World Records awarded were for Most Costly Video Game Battle and Most Titans Lost in a Battle of EVE Online. These records come on the heels of the first two the game earned back in October of 2020....

One of the most exciting and confounding things about Everwild is how little we learned about the title at the Xbox Games Showcase. Still, we did learn some things about Rare’s newest game, and as always, when we don’t know something, we can SPECULATE!!! The cinematic “Eternals” trailer was indeed a sight to behold. Rare has always crafted games with stunning art design, and Everwild is no exception to the trend....

With Persona 5 Strikers releasing in the West, players can enjoy a worthy sequel to Persona 5. The Phantom Thieves reunite for a road trip that spans the country on their summer vacation. With hearts changing across Japan, they’ll have plenty of mysteries to keep them occupied on their summer getaway. While Persona 5 Strikers is an excellent sequel, it removes several key activities that players could enjoy in the original release....

Fallout: New Vegas has many vaults in the wasteland, but Vault 21 is unique. Like most places on The Strip, Vault 21 has been turned into a casino. Players can find the vault at the end of The Strip, located across the street from the NCR Embassy. By going inside, players will be able to see how different this location is. Instead of vault dwellers, the vault will be inhabited by tourists and gamblers....

Microsoft’s Xbox One X promises to be the most powerful console ever when it launches later this year, but power doesn’t mean much without games that take full advantage of it. As it turns out, it seems like not all upcoming third-party releases will be optimized with the Xbox One X in mind, as some development studios haven’t even received dev kits for the console yet, the Far Cry 5 team included....

Unfortunately, Far Cry 6 has been delayed from its February 2021 slot without a confirmed new release date. As unfortunate as it may be, the game may hopefully benefit from some extra time in the oven, and while the majority of the game is likely complete, there’s likely a lot for fans to digest when Far Cry 6 releases. After all, Far Cry 6 is an entry of many firsts. It is the first game to feature a big city as a location, found in the Cuba-inspired country, it is the first game to feature a protagonist whose role is not that of an outsider (Yara is FC6 protagonist Dani’s home), and it is the first game where the secondary antagonist is a child....

This FARGO review contains spoilers. Fargo Season 4 Episode 11 Despite a sprawling cast, greater narrative ambition, and a big, broad American Dream theme, Fargo Season 4 never quite lived up to its potential. Loy Cannon’s war against the Italian Fadda crime family was meant to highlight how the criminal underworld is just as racist and exploitative as the 1950s classrooms that biracial teenager Ethelrida Smutny inhabits. They both strive for assimilation, which feels like the real American dream, but their efforts are ultimately pointless....

Spoilers for The Mandalorian Seasons 1 and 2. Season 1 of The Mandalorian is most remembered for introducing the Star Wars fandom to Baby Yoda, the lovable little green character who demanded a plush toy from every household. Season 2 reached further into the galaxy by bringing back several characters from The Clone Wars series like Bo-Katan and Ahsoka Tano, and by reviving the original Mandalorian, Boba Fett. The entire series might forever be known for the concluding scenes of chapter 16....

Blumhouse Productions continues to stake its claim as the premiere horror studio of the 21st century. One of its latest projects is a sequel to the venerable Exorcist franchise, which Blumhouse no doubt hopes will revitalize the property so it can fruitfully be spun into another strong IP for the company. According to Observer, the studio already has its sights set on a specific director. David Gordon Green’s most recent horror project was the 2018 reboot of Halloween....

Apple users of the popular voice and text app Discord had a disappointing surprise waiting for them after upgrading to the recently released iOS 11. Users are reporting a variety of errors in Discord when running the app on the new phone and tablet operating system. Discord has responded, acknowledging issues with iOS 11, but has no ETA on a fix. It may be some time before the problems are solved....

10 Heart of Steel AP cost: 2 Cooldown: 5 turns Usage: Defense and physical armor regeneration The thing about Polymorph mages in Original Sin 2 is that they tend to dally around the combat area trying out stuff and can quickly become prime targets for enemies. That’s why ensuring they live long enough to ensure their spells do enough damage is mandatory. For that, the Heart of Steel is a great skill....
