Epic Games will use its Spring Showcase to make some curated announcements and show off some exciting new gameplay....
Uncharted is one of PlayStation’s most successful franchises ever. Since debuting in 2007 with Drake’s Fortune, the action-adventure series has gone from strength to strength. By this point, there have been nine entries in the franchise, including spin-offs and re-packages. The quality of them has remained fairly consistent throughout the years, with every title being at least good and most being great. This begs the question, how do they stack up against each other?...
In Oxygen Not Included there are a lot of substances and materials that are used to keep your Duplicants alive that can also kill them if not properly contained or used appropriately. One such substance that has plagued many players is chlorine. Chlorine, both in the game and in real life, is a toxic gas that, if not properly contained, has many harmful effects, number one being death. Fortunately, there are a number of ways it can improve the lives of your duplicants, and it can be an effective tool to keep their little hearts beating just a little longer—you just have to know how to use it....

Our conversation with Miller covered new content, things to come, and some of the unique challenges and benefits of working on a popular Dungeons and Dragons MMO such as Neverwinter....
Unique weapons are modified versions of standard weapons in Fallout 3, usually granting higher base stats or a unique gimmick. Unlike Fallout 4’s system, these weapons are one of a kind and can’t be replicated by other weapons. Fallout 3 has a large roster of unique weapons to compliment any build. Most of these weapons are fantastic and worth using, but some unique weapons are so strong that they are a must-have for any playthrough....
A dedicated Fallout fan uses a 3D printer to create a full-sized Power Armor helmet, sharing the necessary files online so anyone else can do the same. Last year saw the long-awaited release of Fallout 4, and the series’ fandom was out in full force to demonstrate just how passionate they are about the post-apocalyptic franchise. Heading into 2016, there’s a new fan creation that demonstrates just how passionate some people are about these games....
Bethesda has overcome many hurdles with this online-multiplayer entry in one of its most popular RPG franchises. Fallout 76 does have its fans, and the fact that this DLC is free serves as an enticing incentive for prospective players or long time fans who have not yet taken the plunge. Fallout 76’s apocalyptic Appalachia has another story to tell in an all-new expansion, and this time, it involves one of the oldest and most beloved groups within the series: The Brotherhood of Steel....
Fate/Grand Order players may be wrapping up intense farming during the last few hours of Battle in New York 2020, but the next event is coming right afterwards. Starting after maintenance, the Halloween Strike! Demonic Climb - Himeji Castle War Revival will go from September 30th to October 13th. Halloween 2019 originally starred Elizabeth Bathory, her other versions, and a host of returning FGO servants. Now the third Halloween story is back for one more rerun ahead of other new events in Fall....
Bungie has delivered on their promise of a Destiny hot fix to solve several painful issues currently prevalent within the online shooter. Today’s hot fix addressed complaints regarding the rewards for Destiny’s weekly Nightfall strike, put a band aid on the unlimited Shadowshot bug that plagued Iron Banner last week, and finally set the page for Friday’s unlock of the King’s Fall Hard Mode difficulty. Altogether a very constructive hot fix – no download required!...
With its genetic roots in Thief, Bioshock, and prior Bethesda titles, Dishonored 2 was a game with a lot to prove…and prove itself it certainly did. For all that was achieved by those preceding games, skeptics could be forgiven for expecting Dishonored 2’s development team to run out of novel ideas. To the delight of long-time fans and newcomers alike, Dishonored 2 didn’t simply ride the coattails of the series’ first entry, nor did it fail to set itself apart....
Fans of TTRPGs who play Divinity: Original Sin for the first time might think this game is oddly familiar. Moreover, those who play Larian Studios’ Original Sin sequel will probably compare it to a Dungeons & Dragons game. After all, the dev’s acclaimed Divinity: Original Sin 2 makes a great blend of immersive narrative and engaging gameplay that it may as well be their own take of a D&D campaign....
Fane is arguably one of the most interesting characters in Divinity: Original Sin 2. He’s the only undead option among the origin characters, and has a deep connection to the story and the lore of the world. As a result, having him on the player’s team makes for a more engaging experience. Fane also has some interesting quirks and abilities that make him a unique fighter. These can be combined with a number of interesting builds that really expand upon his talents and make him a strong character....
As with any good looter shooter, or loot-focused game for that matter, one of the main appeals of Tom Clancy’s The Division is numbers. More specifically, making the numbers go up. As players increase in power or acquire better gear they hope to see their numbers increase, both damage numbers and in their basic stats. However, some Division players might have hit a certain precipice and be unaware how to take things further....
The massive, deranged, ‘packed to the gills with plot and lore and side plots’ arc that has made up this season is finally at an end. It is fair to say this has been the most epic Doctor Who story since ‘The Stolen Earth’ (yes, Moffat blew up the universe a couple of times, but even at his most bombastic it was usually a metaphor for a smaller stakes emotional story than to go for Big Universe Spanning Epic Action)....
It’s been a phenomenal year for the joke cryptocurrency, Dogecoin. Starting the year with a value of $0.0054, it benefited from a boom in media attention later in January with the GameStop short squeeze. Suddenly, the dream for it to reach a value of $1 didn’t seem so distant, and at its peak it increased by 400% in just two days - even reaching $0.50 earlier this month. But this growth of a whooping 20,000% in 12 months may have come to a head, thanks to Elon Musk....
The following includes major Don’t Look Up spoilers. This was supposed to be a comedy, right? That’s what the marketing and 1960s-inspired opening title cards suggest for Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up, and yet one might think the happiest moment in the whole thing is when Leonardo DiCaprio’s Dr. Randall Mindy and Jennifer Lawrence’s PhD candidate Kate Dibiasky sit down to dinner with family, friends, and even a new fiancé, before the comet strikes....
It’s not an id Software game unless it’s bursting with Easter Eggs. They love to leave little nods to their previous work as well as pop culture references and other little in-jokes for the player to discover. DOOM Eternal continues the fine id tradition of having tons of bizarre and/or hilarious secrets scattered around the world. If you don’t feel like digging through the game for each one, here’s a comprehensive list of DOOM Eternal’s Easter Eggs....
Imagine trying to play through Doom Eternal without mods on any guns. While it might have been done before, it’s guaranteed to be an ugly sight. The guns excite fans, sure, but without some tinkering, they’re really nothing special. What makes them special are the mods. So special, in fact, that it’s much easier to imagine a playthrough using mods exclusively, due to them being extremely powerful variants of regular weapons....
BioWare is a pioneer when it comes to the development of western roleplaying games, with games like KOTOR, Dragon Age: Origins, and Mass Effect going a long way in cementing this fearsome reputation of a beloved studio. To this day, fans still look back at the time when each game release of this company had fans of role-playing games salivating at the thought of engaging themselves in another amazing story....
Dragon Ball FighterZ, Bandai Namco’s Dragon Ball-themed fighting game, has utilized 2020 to slowly reveal new DLC characters to add to its roster. Ending the year with the official announcement of the final Dragon Ball FighterZ DLC fighter included in the game’s Season Pass 3, the game’s development team is starting 2021 by hosting an online gameplay event that puts the spotlight on Super Baby 2. Since its launch in 2018, Dragon Ball FighterZ has released three season passes that have added a range of characters into the fighting game....
