For years one of the biggest complaints surrounding video games has been the unrealistic AI featured in a number of popular games, as developers struggle to find the perfect balance between making enemies hard enough to challenge the player but lenient enough that they don’t steamroll them. It’s a difficult balancing act, but one EA might be attempting to solve with a new patent that suggests it could integrate state-of-the-art technology to create more lifelike AI....

The full trailer for Enola Holmes has arrived, showcasing a game of a Netflix film that is very much afoot. Expanding upon the Netflix film’s recent release-date-setting teaser, which was essentially a montage showcase of characters, this clip manages to encapsulate the plot. While clearly depicting characters from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes mythos (controversially, as evidenced by a recent lawsuit), the film is an adaptation of Nancy Springer’s six-book-spanning Enola Holmes series, specifically the first one, 2006’s The Case of the Missing Marquess, and was directed by Harry Bradbeer....

Sick as a dog. It’s a dog’s life. Dog-tired. Dog days. In the doghouse. Listen to the idioms and you could well believe that dogs had it rough. (Ruff? – Ed) They don’t. Dogs have it so good, or at least, the smart ones do. Not the ones so clever they can understand over 50 words and dial the emergency services when you get a concussion, but the ones a step cleverer than that – the dogs who know that true happiness lies in being as dumb as a sack of hammers and of no use as anything other than a warm-bellied draught excluder....

Batman is one of the most iconic characters ever created. Since Adam West brought the campy tone of his ‘60s TV series to the big screen, the Bat has been continually rebooted in movie form with increasing frequency. West handed the cowl to Michael Keaton, who handed it to Val Kilmer, who handed it to George Clooney, who handed it to Christian Bale, who handed it to Ben Affleck, who recently handed it to Robert Pattinson....

It is no secret that CD Projekt Red fans have been waiting for the release of Cyberpunk 2077 for several years now. Unfortunately, in a shocking announcement yesterday, CD Projekt Red revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 would be delayed once again due to unforeseen challenges in shipping the game. Luckily for fans, the delay is only for 21 days, putting the game’s launch on December 10th. Despite numerous delays, most fans understand CD Projekt Red’s decision to postpone Cyberpunk 2077 once again....

Haven Entertainment Studios is a new studio, formed under former Stadia Games & Entertainment VP Jade Raymond. She’s an accomplished gaming industry professional with years of experience, who has now been tasked by PlayStation to create a brand new IP for the company. Many consider this new IP to be in safe hands with Jade Raymond, as she has directly been involved with the creation and development of several iconic franchises over the past 20 years....

Michelle Yeoh wanted to meet the Daniels as soon as possible. Having just finished reading the script for the new and bizarre multiverse epic—a movie which initially named its universe-hopping heroine “Michelle Yeoh”—the actual Yeoh needed to see with her own eyes the writing-directing duo who could come up with something so intriguing (and perhaps a wee bit presumptuous). When they finally sat face-to-face, according to the Everything Everywhere All at Once directors, Yeoh had one immediate question: What did you write?...

Rust made a lot of waves when it first released through Steam’s Early Access program back in 2013. As time passed, however, interest in Facepunch Studios’ survival MMO began to wane. Well. Until recently, that is. 2020 saw a huge resurgence in the number of people playing the game as well as a big boost in sales. Estimates suggest that the game has now generated more than $150 million in gross revenue; surpassing Garry’s mod as the studio’s most profitable title along the way....

Despite what some politicians believe, the video game industry is not as violent as the White House’s highlight reel would suggest. It’s a tale almost as old as the gaming industry itself. “Violent video games cause violence in players,” says the congressman or parent whose knowledge of the industry goes no further than the passing knowledge that their children are able to play games that far exceed their age range. Yet, every time this debate is brought up, there is no evidence to support such a claim aside from flimsy anecdotal statements....

Since most people are lucky enough to experience war exclusively through the news and fictional media like, say, Call of Duty, it can be easy to forget sometimes that war is something that affects real people, especially children, and continues to do so. Thankfully, there are people out there who are trying to do what they can to help, and this month some of them are turning to games like Fall Guys to raise some funds....

The Fallout games have always taken place in the aftermath of the Great War, a nuclear conflict which lasted just two hours before all participating nations had been destroyed in the ensuing atomic apocalypse. However, Fallout 5 needs to make a change from recent Fallout games. The last two Fallout games, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, have put the Great War itself at the forefront of events rather than it remaining a piece of ancient history....

It won’t be long now before select gaming fans who pre-ordered Fallout 76 for Xbox One in North America will be able to take part in tomorrow’s stress test for the title, and now it looks as if Bethesda wants to give them a better idea of the enormity of the game’s environment beforehand. Today, the publisher and developer decided to provide fans with the forthcoming post-apocalyptic multiplayer action-RPG’s full map....

Dishonored 2’s sales are almost 40% down on the first game’s sales in the UK, with the sequel debuting behind Battlefield 1 and FIFA 17 on the charts. There’s little doubt that Arkane Studios’ new stealth game Dishonored 2 is one of the most highly anticipated games of the year. A sequel to 2012’s Dishonored, players have been looking forward to assuming the role of (returning protagonist) Corvo and (newly playable character) Emily Kaldwin after usurpers take the throne....

Players who want to wield the power of the Warfare and Geomancy skill trees will love the fighter class. The Warfare tree focuses on frontal assaults. It takes a player into the battle with strong health and attack power. Skill in this tree allows players to hit enemies hard....

When it comes to Tom Clancy’s The Division there are many considerations for players. Gear is obviously one of their primary concerns, but even things like how much ammo they can carry or what their character looks like play a role in the experience. As far as the former category is concerned, though, we have a helpful trick that should make life in The Division a little easier. Obviously, ammo isn’t too big of a consideration in the game, because ammo crates are regularly scattered throughout each mission....

Doctor Who has a reputation as teatime horror designed to scare children, but a safe scare because ultimately the Doctor will win. Or at least that’s what usually happens. From time to time the Doctor doesn’t save the day, or their victory is tarnished somehow. Sometimes there’ll be a run of stories where this happens before Doctor Who reverts back to its format: the Doctor and friends having fun adventures. How the Doctor fails, and how the character responds to that failure, are key to the success of Doctor Who’s ongoing story....

Google’s Stadia service didn’t exactly launch in the best of states. While some progress has been made in the months following its release, things still aren’t perfect and one of the biggest selling points isn’t readily available for most titles: 4K streaming. The service does support it, but games aren’t properly running at that resolution despite prior claims. Doom Eternal, it seems, will be joining the club of failed promises....

Debatably, the Android Saga is possibly the most popular story arc in the entire Dragon Ball franchise. Filled with memorable story moments, and amazing fights, the Android’s Saga is in many ways when the series’ peaked. The arc is also well remembered for introducing several fan-favorite characters, including Trunks, Cell, Android 18, and, of course, Android 17. An artificial warrior created by the evil Dr. Gero, 17, and his sister 18, were built to kill Goku....

It’s hard to believe it, but Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot turns one year old today. Over the course of the last year, the game has undergone some big changes that add more content and increase the scope to levels that fans didn’t foresee when it first released. There’s no better time than its anniversary to look back on how Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2 have grown Kakarot from the ground up in just a year’s time, and to look forward to what comes next for Dragon Ball Z games as a whole....
