It looks like EA is aiming to change the traditional battle pass system, based on a new patent. The patent reveals a multi-layered track, as compared to the linear track we’re used to in games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone. Battle passes have become a standing feature when it comes to live service games. Their aim is to give the player base something to work towards when there’s no major event running....

Fall Guys developer Mediatonic has revealed some of the first substantial patch notes for the game, and they include some long-awaited fixes and quality of life improvements. As you can see above, the “Spicy Hot Fix” features quite a few alterations, improvements, and features. While Mediatonic indicates that this is just a preview of the patch and doesn’t include everything that will be seen in the final version, it’s worth noting that the team’s goal with this update was to incorporate some of the most common requests that they got from community members....
Exclusive to Fallout: New Vegas, Caeser’s Legion offers a unique blend of brutal violence and ancient philosophy that no Fallout faction can match. Ruthless domination is a core part of their identity, something that was spearheaded by their leader. Beyond the Legion’s combat prowess, Caeser remains one of the best villains in the Fallout franchise. His twisted analysis of Pre-War history and uncompromising methods is one of many reasons why New Vegas is such a beloved game....
Family Guy is one of my all-time favorite cartoon shows. Everything about it just tickles my fancy, from the classic show tunes that sporadically popped up at inopportune moments to the absolute ridiculousness of some of the scenes (like Peter hurting his knee, grasping it, and then wincing about it for a minute). The show also endears itself to me with its collection of zany characters. I mean, there are entire episodes where Stewie, an eloquent infant, and Brian, the lush, wannabe writer and family dog, go on adventures by themselves (those are my particularly favorite episodes)....
Fantasy Island is a “re-imagining” (to use one of Hollywood’s favorite words) of the semi-iconic ABC television series that ran for seven seasons between 1977 and 1984. The show starred Ricardo Montalban (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) as Mr. Roarke, a mysterious and possibly supernatural character who welcomed guests to his fabulous island where, for a price, they could live out their fantasies–although those scenarios didn’t always turn out as the guests expected....
The newest installment in the Far Cry franchise has been announced and to go along with it a new animal companion — and this could be the best one of them all. The Far Cry franchise has gone pretty much everywhere in its 14 years on the market. They’ve covered everything from pirates, deserted island, and post-nuclear disaster survival with tons of DLC and expansion packs in between. Some of the most beloved characters in this franchise include the animal companions that players can enlist to help survive and conquer....
An inventive fan creates a working Vex boss and common unit from Destiny within Halo 5: Guardian’s Forge mode, utilizing recently added upgrades to the mode. Destiny is no stranger to impressive fan creations, from art, to mash-up trailers, to concepts of features for the game itself. And when it comes to a powerful creation tool like Halo’s Forge mode, it’s obvious that some would create Destiny content within it. After all, Destiny’s developer Bungie first created Forge in Halo 3, and the capabilities have only grown since then....
Destiny fans have set up their own fair share of self-imposed challenges, from conquering entire raids solo to using unconventional controllers to play the game. But one group of players recently challenged themselves to overcome the Vault of Glass raid under the conditions of not having any sound or use of the HUD. And it was all for a very specific purpose. According to the player who goes by M4V3R1C8 on the Destiny subreddit, the challenge was set up with a “constructive idea,” not just to merely to try something new or gain notoriety among the subreddit....
Watch_Dogs is shaping up to be a flagship transition game for the next generation of consoles and developer Ubisoft is looking to make it stick in a very real way by leaving no stone unturned. There’s been the usual barrage of trailers, gameplay videos and multiplayer info, but we also know Ubisoft intends to turn it into a franchise - with a feature film adaptation! - and there’s evan an ongoing interactive real-world campaign that encourages gamers to hack ATMs and be the recipients of a glorious shower of actual dollar bills....
With the upcoming remaster Diablo 2: Resurrected on the horizon, some fans are calling into question Blizzard’s history with remasters. Warcraft 3: Reforged released last year and disappointed many fans of the game. Not only was the launch plagued by technical issues, missing original features, and contained minor upgrades visually, but the game replaced the original’s client. On release, the original game’s multiplayer client was closed and many players were angered by the release of Warcraft 3: Reforged....
Season 7 is coming to a close in Diablo 3, but Blizzard is already prepared to launch Season 8 starting October 21 and is sharing all the latest rewards. A new season is approaching for Diablo III and Blizzard has published a first look at what players can expect, and what rewards they can earn. Season 8 will be much like other recent seasons for Diablo III, with similar rewards, Conquests, and more....
Battlefield 4 is the best-looking multi-platform title that launched alongside the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and it represents the first time developer DICE has been able to bring the franchise’s signature 64-player multiplayer to consoles. Unfortunately, all that has been entirely overshadowed by the problematic launch of the game, a release that Electronic Arts admitted didn’t meet expectations. Like NBA Live on next-gen and even Battlefield 3 before it, BF4 launched in what we’d describe as a beta....
Geek culture has rapidly grown to mainstream popularity in the last few decades, in large part thanks to things like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Julian Bass shared his appreciation for some of his favorite geek icons in a Tik-Tok that recently went viral, asking fans to retweet the video until “Disney calls.” The video quickly became popular enough to garner a response from Disney Executive Chairman Bob Iger, who said, “The World’s gonna know your name!...
Divinity: Original Sin 2 has been out for a while now, but that doesn’t mean players aren’t still trying to figure it out. One of the hardest things to figure out when starting a new game is what type of character to choose. Undead seems cool, but they don’t play like a normal flesh and blood character. How do they work? What skill do you possibly choose to complement a skeleton?...
The upcoming Division 2 update will feature new weapons, new missions, and best of all a flashlight! It’s dark in Washington D.C., and we don’t mean that in a metaphorical way (although you could probably get away with saying that these days). In The Division 2, players don’t have flashlights, which makes it really hard to get around in dark buildings or even just walking around at night. Players have been asking for a flashlight since the game released back in March....
Warning: contains Series 12 and ‘Revolution of the Daleks’ spoilers. Change has long been a constant of Doctor Who, and series 13 is no different. This time around, the changes have largely been rung in by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The virus has concertinaed the Doctor’s next arc, shrinking the new series down from a planned eleven episodes to eight. It’s also recently infected brand new companion John Bishop, who has been filming on the series since November (best wishes for a speedy recovery)....
Doom Eternal is the latest iteration of a franchise of first-person shooters that began in the 1990s. Famous for its blood, guts, and gore, this title gives players the pleasure of navigating mazes while disemboweling demons with high-powered weapons. What’s not to love, right? Especially when it all takes place with cutting-edge graphics! However, the sheer volume of advanced visual effects spills over into some areas that do not really need it....
Four years after its initial release, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is receiving yet another DLC character pack, this time featuring the anime only and cult favorite character, Pikkon. Announced in this month’s issue of V-Jump magazine, the Pikkon DLC for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 includes a few other new additional character costumes for players from Dragon Ball Super: Broly. A character only seen in the anime version of the story, Pikkon was an adversary turned friend of Goku’s as he entered the Otherworld tournament shortly after the Cell Saga....
There are a lot of video games for the Dragon Ball Z series and it’s understandable why.
