The March 2021 Harry Potter Wizards Unite Community Day will arrive in just a few days and bring Courtroom Ten of the Ministry of Magic to the spotlight event....

Much has been debated during the first three months of Fall Guys, including what the mystery fruit is in Perfect Match. Fall Guys got a shot in the arm earlier this month via the launch of season two. Not that it needed a boost as the popularity it enjoyed at launch hasn’t dwindled all that much. It was the most downloaded game in PS Plus history and racked up more than one billion views on YouTube in the space of a month....

Fall Guys developer Mediatonic is continuing to make good with the community and listen to all the feedback coming its way.

In Fallout 4, there’s a whole series of strange quests, unique items and creepy locations that play into the quirky and bizarre nature of what a world ravaged by bombs would look like. It’s not just nature itself that’s different and unpredictable; it’s the people, too. The game’s NPCs are what really give the franchise its trademark feel, while also breathing life into the Commonwealth....

Inquisitive Fallout 4 players have found that changing the system clock on your console or PC to a holiday will make some subtle changes to the game world. The post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 4 can be a bleak, desolate place — but even Vault dwellers and Super Mutants need to blow off some steam during the holidays. Now, players searching for easter eggs have found some time-sensitive content hidden away in the game....

Destiny’s developer Bungie promises that it is hard at work on a sandbox update that will rebalance weapons in the game, but did not reveal when it will release. It has been four months since the release of Destiny’s Rise of Iron expansion and while there have been live events since then to keep fans entertained, Destiny hasn’t received a weapon balance update since September 2016. It was that weapon balance update, which nerfed sniper rifles and created a resurgence of shotgun play, that has now become the source of frustration for longtime players....

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise has become a worldwide phenomenon. Who would’ve ever thought a story about the adventures of four teenaged humanoid turtles named after Renaissance artists who are trained in ninjutsu by a mutated rat and use their skills to protect New York from ninjas and aliens would turn into such a lasting success? TMNT originated in a series of Mirage comic books, but soon spread to two other comics series, multiple animated TV series, five films, video games, toys, pizza ads, and just about every other kind of merchandise you can imagine....

Quantic Dream’s Detroit: Become Human takes center stage during Sony’s E3 2016 presentation, giving gamers a better idea of what to expect from the game. Sony’s E3 2016 presentation quickly descended into an endless, awesome stream of video game trailers and gameplay demos, and the fans in attendance certainly didn’t seem like they were complaining. The presentation shed new light on a number of titles that only had minimal speculative gameplay demonstrations up until this point, and one of those games now has a much more defined shape - Detroit: Become Human is an android detective psychological thriller, and if that sounds like a mouthful, that’s because it’s a heavy narrative conceit....

When Devil May Cry 5 was officially unveiled with a trailer and a spring 2019 release date during Microsoft’s Xbox E3 2018 press conference, it’s safe to say that plenty of fans were elated to learn that the long-awaited next entry is now on the way. Of course, one of the most exciting parts of the aforementioned trailer involved the confirmation that Dante would be returning in the fifth installment, with Capcom having stated that it may give the frequent protagonist of the series a new look at some point in the upcoming sequel....

Hear that? That’s the sound of rally racing fans everywhere shouting out in joy, as the release of Dirt 5 is finally here. Dare I call it a rally cry? You bet I dare… because the game deserves it.

When Disney+ launched in November 2019, many believed it would be an incredible success, but few could have predicted just how successful Disney+ would be in such a short time. A new announcement from Disney has confirmed that the streaming service now has over 50 million subscribers. The announcement comes as Disney+ expands to 12 new regions, including the UK and several European countries. It’s been a long wait for those territories, who have had to see all of The Mandalorian memes online while having no access to the show....

With COVID-19 forcing a number of major real-world attractions to close up shop, it seems many have had to take drastic measures while the wait for a vaccine continues. Super Nintendo World has delayed opening its doors due to the ongoing spread of the virus, and now, it seems Disneyland Resort has seen fit to cancel its popular annual pass program as it waits to discover when it can reopen its locations....

Several players have now uncovered a brand new loot farm in an early-game mission of The Division, effectively creating a new Loot Cave scenario. Fans of The Division who were disappointed to see the infamous Loot Cave being patched away will be happy to hear that its unofficial replacement has been almost immediately uncovered. It seems like The Division is destined to always have some kind of prevalent loot exploit, but more surprising is that the new loot farm discovery involves an enemy that most agents will have already encountered....

Just to count it off, Peter Frampton’s Do You Feel Like I Do? A Memoir is as much fun as hearing a talking box guitar solo for the first time. Live and with an audience, of course. Each of Frampton’s best-known albums, either with his bands like Humble Pie or in his solo career, are live records. He may also love the studio albums he made, but just like The Who, whose studio albums he loves, those records are a different breed from a live show....

Not to complain about what is largely a fun job, but writing about what Ncuti Gatwa is going to wear as the new Doctor is really hard. Have you seen the guy? Every single photo I’ve seen of him since his casting was announced looks like a potential Doctor costume. Every single one. Does the New Doctor Need an Unchanging Costume? First question: do we really need a capital C Costume?...

A Reddit user discovers secret images found within DOOM’s soundtrack, continuing the franchise’s long tradition of hiding Easter eggs and other secret content. It’s a well known fact that the DOOM franchise is very fond of Easter eggs and secrets, choosing to hide all kinds of references, call backs, and other interesting nods all throughout each of the games that have released over the years. The most recent entry is no exception to this rule, as players have already discovered a ton of interesting and hidden content including the ability to unlock classic levels from the original game....

Everyone has their own opinions about how to choose the right class in Dungeons & Dragons. With so many interesting and unique options, why not consider the Myers and Briggs personality types? It’s a roleplaying game, after all, and requires a decent understanding of the class to portray it well in-game. While some classes rely on intelligence and cunning, others rely more on brute force and impact to get the job done....

Dying Light 2 has been a highly anticipated game since it was announced back in 2018. However, it seems that Dying Light 2 development is not going well. The production of Dying Light 2 has been a rocky road. The game experienced significant delays, causing the original 2020 release date to be pushed back indefinitely. Techland, the studio behind the game, is an independent Polish triple-A developer that got its start back in 1991....

If the low price and loving update weren’t good enough reasons to grab Command & Conquer Remastered, this latest bit of news might put you over the edge.

What that basically means is mod support just got a whole lot simpler to implement....
