Ubisoft’s upcoming pirate adventure Skull and Bones was announced back in E3 2017. The game is all about pirating the Indian Ocean with friends in an effort to gain higher-tiered weaponry and ships, and ultimately become a Pirate legend. That is, as far as fans are aware. Back in September 2020, Ubisoft talked about a “new vision” for the game, and what comes of that has yet to be seen....
The cheating problem that is ruining Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout could soon be a thing of the past, as the developers have said that they will be implementing the same anti-cheating software used in games like Fortnite. The PC version of Fall Guys is currently suffering from an issue involving cheaters, as people are able to hack the game in order to practically ensure that they can win matches. The cheats can involve speeding up their bean so that they can rush through stages and always be ahead of the pack, as well as increasing the bean’s jumping ability so that it matches early incarnations of Superman....
With every DLC, Bethesda has introduced brand new unique weapons into Fallout 4, often themed around the DLC itself. Nuka-World is no exception to the rule and came out with a bunch of new, cool, and sometimes a bit niche weapons that inspire players to come up with creative and somewhat silly builds. Unfortunately, not all weapons are made equal. Some of these unique items are pretty much unusable in combat due to the minimal amount of damage they inflict and only make for situational or funny items....
If you know anything about the Fallout 4 fanbase, you’ll know right away that they literally will scour any game in the franchise.

Even though it’s been a while since its release, people are still heavily involved in the game as a whole....
Publisher Bethesda reveals that Fallout 4’s forthcoming expansion pack known as Far Harbor is larger than the biggest DLC for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. With Fallout 4’s Automatron DLC having been recently released, fans of Bethesda’s popular post-apocalyptic RPG have now turned their attention to the title’s forthcoming add-ons. As it happens, one gamer took to Twitter to ask the studio’s Vice President of PR and Marketing, Pete Hines, about the magnitude of Fallout 4’s Far Harbor content, which resulted in the executive saying “it’s bigger in size than Shivering Isles,” which was The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion’s biggest DLC package....
Destiny offers fans many different activities for gamers to get together with their friends to complete, but some Guardians are so good at Bungie’s science fiction shooter that they have to put some self-imposed challenges and limitations upon themselves in order to get an even more enjoyable experience out of the title. For instance, one Fireteam recently got together to tackle the Nexus Mind strike with the sole purpose of setting the world record for the fastest Nightfall speedrun, and ended up handily accomplishing the task....

The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy has never ceased being the center of debates, even after Disney bought the franchise and released the Sequel Trilogy, which has become equally, if not more, controversial. Among the plethora of perceived prequel problems, creator George Lucas’ choice to depict Anakin Skywalker as a child in mega-hyped 1999 trilogy launcher The Phantom Menace remains one of the most controversial. It’s no wonder the studio set to make the new movie with Lucas was so worried about this twist....

With the release of DOOM Eternal on the horizon, many fans are likely ready to dive into anything DOOM-related, especially after the solid gameplay that was showcased some months back. Yesterday, though, when the trailer for Doom: Annihilation dropped, many fans likely had high expectations that were seemingly not met. This new DOOM movie from Universal 1440 Entertainment is a direct-to-video adaptation of the popular video game franchise, which is self-described as an “intense action-packed new installment....
It’s been confirmed that a Dungeons & Dragons TV series is in the works, and the timing makes perfect sense. The game has only grown in popularity, particularly through the use of 3rd-party digital platforms, as well as has D&D-related media as evidenced by the massive success of Critical Role and its Kickstarter campaign to adapt the podcast into a full-fledged animated series. Questions abound regarding the Dungeons & Dragons TV series, however....
Although domestic violence is a crime that occurs on a daily basis and doesn’t usually get much press, it is always bound to steal the attention of the mass media when a celebrity is involved. In response to video footage of Ray Rice assaulting his then-fiance, Janay Palmer, nearly all companies and products associated with the ex-Ravens running back have been in a hurry to sever ties with the athlete. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the Ray Rice purge has found its way to the video game world, as well....
Epic Games made waves this last week as the development studio released footage of its brand new Unreal Engine 5 running on PS5. While the new engine boasts some of the best graphics available in gaming, with unlimited polygons and photorealistic settings, some eagle-eyed viewers believe that they may have spotted some limitations in the engine. The suspected limitation comes from a gaming trope that has become a common tool for hiding loading times by requiring players to slip through a tight space, something that the PS5 promises to remove as games move onto Next-Gen technology....

Ever since the Harry Potter franchise rose to popularity in the late 90s and early 2000s, numerous video games based on the series have been released. While some of these games hold a special place in gamers’ hearts, most of them can be written off as cash-grabs, typically positioned to release alongside the latest Harry Potter movie in theaters instead of focused on creating a quality gaming experience. For years, most Harry Potter video games have been directly tied to the film franchise, with few ever stepping outside of that comfort zone to do something different....
Square Enix continues to solidify Final Fantasy 7 Remake as a true re-imagining rather than just a remake. Since the first episode plans to expand upon the original game’s Midgar story, there’ll be plenty of new material to explore.

Quests are a core part of any Fallout title. Building relationships with various factions and characters is a core part of the franchise. Fallout 4, while lacking in certain role-playing aspects, still puts major emphasis on faction quests. One of the game’s major factions is the Minutemen, a small militia that was founded to keep the peace in the Commonwealth before being disbanded. In gameplay terms, it’s an excuse for players to build their own settlements and equip NPCs with crafted goods....
