It was announced last week that Russell T. Davies is returning to show run Doctor Who for the show’s 60th anniversary series and beyond. If that’s news to you, I refer you to my previous sentence. All the information is there. After a weekend to absorb the news and read takes of various temperatures, there’s still plenty to be positive about. There are potential negatives though, so let’s examine these first....
DOOM Eternal is definitely just as challenging, if not more so, as its 2016 predecessor. Combat feels even faster and ammo is scarcer, forcing the player to get creative and resourceful. This time, skill is more important than bullets. This new sequel provides many difficulty modes, including the dreaded Nightmare difficulty. This is for the players who want an even tougher challenge than the initial game provides. For those up to the task, they’ll want all the help they can get....
Popular Twitch streamer Dr DisRespect has created a deadly combination in Call of Duty: Warzone by using a controller and aim assist. Although the streamer has his issues with Warzone, he seems pretty pleased with the combo’s outcome: mowing down his enemies on-stream. Using a Scuf controller with aim assist let the Two Time completely obliterate his enemies. He became more confident with his abilities as the stream went on, even going so far as to make a kill without even looking at his enemy....
Dragon Age: Origins was the start of a love affair between Bioware and fantasy RPG-loving fans, evolving into a well-established, fan-favorite gaming series. Though the latest installment to the franchise, Dragon Age: Inquisition, is naturally far more advanced in gameplay and graphics, the nostalgia, story, and characters of Dragon Age: Origins still makes it a contender for the best Dragon Age game out there. As with all of the games in the series, Origins provided the player with a host of companions that could join them in their adventure and two notable characters of the first game are Alistair and Zevran....
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a vast improvement over the original game in every category, making it ideal for anyone that considers themselves a fan of the franchise. The original Dragon Ball Xenoverse threw MMO elements in a blender with the 3D fighting gameplay of the Budokai Tenkaichi series. The result was a bit of an experimental mess, but underneath the technical issues and unorganized hub world was a solid Dragon Ball Z fighting game....
Fantasy fans love their weird heroes, and Drizzt Do’Urden is one of the flagbearers of weirdness in a protagonist. Drizzt is the drow or dark elf outcast who has become a favorite amongst Dungeons & Dragons players, and while his morals are pretty standard fare for most protagonists, there are still some odd and lesser-known facts about him. These facts mostly serve as a testament to his timeless and solid characterization....
Dungeons and Dragons’ Fifth Edition was first released for play-testing under the working title of D&D Next way back in 2012. Since then, the game has had numerous official additions, with a steady if infrequent selection of new books and character options. While add-ons such as Xanathar’s Guide to Everything may come with a hefty dose of new Subclasses, almost all of them had already been tested by the public in the form of Unearthed Arcana articles....
In a plot twist that could have come out of a WWE storyline, the XFL has been sold to an investment group that includes actor and former WWE star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Johnson and his business partner/ex-wife Dany Garcia teamed up with RedBird Capital Partners to pay $15 million for the currently inactive football league which laid off its staff earlier this year. This was the only bid for the league previously owned by Johnson’s former employer and wrestling co-star Vince McMahon who set up Alpha Entertainment, a private company formed independently of WWE....

Xbox made a number of big announcements during their joint presentation with Bethesda on Sunday, but there were a few games that were conspicuously absent. One of those games was Everwild, which was announced back at X019. After that came the setting trailer from the Xbox Games Showcase last summer, but since then it’s been radio silent from both Microsoft and Rare. Apparently, that’s because Microsoft and Rare have nothing new to show....

Fallout 76 is a game with an endless girth of content, that presents players with countless possibilities. The key backbone of this massive amount of content is the game’s varied, diverse, and many locations.

Bethesda is still hard at work creating new content and features for Fallout 76, slowly making the game a heck of a lot better than it was at launch. Each new Fallout 76 update improved it slightly, until the Wastelanders and Steel Dawn expansions set the bar even higher and made the game an experience that sucked a lot of players back into the wild Appalachia. While the latest Fallout 76 update wasn’t quite so sweeping, it did add one very nice feature that probably should have been in the game from the start: the ability to create multiple C....

The CoD culture has been something that people bond over and even label themselves as. People actually define themselves as being a CoD gamer. Not only do people embrace this lifestyle, people will even shell out hundreds of dollars just to get a next gen console because of a new CoD game....
As with any good fandom, gamers filled with the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla hype have pointed out a touching detail in the trailer. The scene involves the game’s protagonist Eivor on the battlefield and is a fitting nod to Norse mythology. Highlighted in a recent Reddit thread, the detail in question appears on the chaotic battlefield - rumored to be the Battle of Edington - during the trailer’s conclusion. In the hazy backdrop of war, we see Eivor’s berserkers taking a heavy blow from English soldiers, depicted by one clan member being brutally stabbed through the back....
Now here’s a story that’ll warm even the most cynical of hearts. You thought companies don’t listen to the little guy? How about discounting a game simply because a single player asked? It’s tough to love the big developers and publishers of the gaming industry at times, isn’t it? Granted, they provide us with hundreds of hours of entertainment and bring our favourite franchises to life, but they’re not doing so out of the goodness of their hearts....
One talented little monster turned Lady Gaga into a Digimon, and the prints are for sale on Redbubble. Digimon, a rival to Pokémon from the ‘90s, follows a group of kids and their adorable fighting monsters on their adventures. One fan, known as Garlos Gzz on Twitter, noticed the striking resemblance between a look from Lady Gaga and that of Angewomon, the Ultimate digivolved version of Gatomon. Angewomon is, as the first half of the name implies, modeled after what female angles are thought to look like....
Has Marvel already solved one of its major Fantastic Four reboot movie problems with the upcoming Disney+ Loki series? The evidence is compelling for sure, as a first trailer for the MCU spinoff is haunted by a cloaked figure in various ominous shots, and some are speculating that this will turn out to be none other than Reed Richards’ archenemy, Doctor Doom. Enter: Loki. The unifying principle of Loki’s narrative so far is that the God of Mischief has been captured by the Time Variance Authority, who are making him run missions for them....
