The Xbox Games Showcase was an exciting event, opening with footage from Halo: Infinite’s campaign. Here’s everything we learned about Halo: Infinite during the Xbox Games Showcase. Play As Chief 343 Industries stated they heard the community “loud and clear” in a press release in 2018 and vowed to focus on the Master Chief in Halo: Infinite. The demo proved this claim, as the campaign shown thus far is played through the Chief exclusively....

Fall Guys was one of the summer’s surprise hits. The unique take on battle royale style games quickly gained the attention of millions of players. However, the game is only available on PlayStation and PC. There was a brief period of hope that the game would be coming to Xbox Game Pass, though. Unfortunately, that hope was dashed when Fall Guys took to Twitter to explain that the game would not be coming to Xbox....

Every game franchise that’s been around as long as Fallout will have a few “loose ends” when it comes to lore. Though many anomalies such as the ghoul kid in the fridge or actual-psychic Mama Murphy raise eyebrows, they don’t have much to do with the timeline of events in the game universe. Questions that plague Fallout lore fanatics and the timeline relate to things like Liberty Prime or how long nuclear radiation fallout sticks around....

In Fallout 4, players are able to discover a number of vaults found throughout Boston and its surrounding area. One of these vaults is called Vault 75.

After the trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League was released on Valentine’s Day, several conversations erupted on social media. From memes regarding Jared Leto’s Joker saying the “we live in a society” line to excitement over the inclusion of the epic villain Darkseid in the film, avid fans seem to have scrutinized the two-minute trailer to every possible detail. But, what they didn’t expect to see was the same trailer being converted into a parody of the Saturday Night Live opening....

Not only does Far Cry 5 have a lengthy story campaign and a large open world to explore, but it also comes with a rather comprehensive level editor that allows fans to create and share their creations online. This level editor, known as the Arcade, has been used to create some pretty impressive stuff, like maps from Call of Duty and Counter-Strike. Besides multiplayer maps, though, there have been some cool homages to single player games as well, with one of the most notable being a recreation of the Baker family house from Resident Evil 7....

The FBI alleges that four hackers are guilty of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, having earned millions from an illegitimate FIFA coin mining scheme. When it was first announced a few years ago, Electronic Arts knew it had a hit on its hands with the FIFA Ultimate Team game mode. By granting players the ability to buy and sell player cards to build their own teams, the studio effectively created an entire marketplace that has since become a staple feature of the FIFA series....

Devolver Digital’s Sludge Life is the latest game from the publisher to be refused classification in Australia. The news of the ban comes from PressStartAustralia, who was sent a press release saying the game had been refused classification. This was then retweeted by Sludge Life developer terriv. In reference to one of the game’s characters, he said, “one butthole max per cat in australia. tough but fair”. Although the double butt cat is telling of the game’s tone and nature, that’s likely not the reason for the refusal of classification....

Bandai Namco is celebrating 20 years of Digimon with a release that is sure to drum up feelings of nostalgia: an upgraded version of the original Digivice virtual pet device. Now that Pokemon’s 20th anniversary celebrations have finally subsided, it’s time for the little sibling of the collectible monster craze to have its time in the spotlight. While no one is expecting the Digimon franchise to top a year that saw Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon break sales records and the utter dominance of Pokemon GO in the mobile games market, that isn’t stopping Bandai Namco from going all out to honor its popular digital monsters....

There may always be a debate that rages on over Digimon and Pokemon, but it seems like the Digimon franchise routinely gets looked over in terms of the contributions that it’s made to both video games and anime. The Pokemon series has more or less stayed on the same path, but each subsequent entry in the Digimon franchise attempts to do something new with the universe or characters. There’s been a recent Digimon resurgence through a return to nostalgia, whether it’s through new movies or a reboot of the Digimon Adventure series....

When you first start Disco Elysium you might be a little confused. You don’t know who you are, what’s going on, or whether or not anyone else can hear your tie speaking to you. But despite all this, you’re told that you’re a detective that needs to solve the lynching that happened a week ago. The problem is, the body is still hanging from the tree. Kim will tell you that an autopsy needs to be performed to determine the cause of death, but it’s impossible while it’s still dangling from the tree....

Our The Last of Us Part II review is coming soon, but we had to take a break from binging one of the game’s best features: the sound design. Sound design is an aspect of game design that often goes overlooked by players. It’s unfortunate because sound design plays such a critical role in the overall experience. Gamers have an easy time talking about impressive graphics, HDR, and ray tracing (RTX ON!...

Morrigan is a reoccurring character from BioWare’s Dragon Age. She’s a ‘Witch of the Wilds’ who has lived in the Kocari Wilds most of her life. Her only company was her mother, Flemeth, who taught Morrigan to use magic and warned her about the dangers present in society beyond their woods. BioWare is excellent at making witty, funny characters for the player to banter with, and Morrigan is among the best....

Dungeons & Dragons might change the way it handles race in future editions, according to D&D rules overlord Jeremy Crawford. The word “race” is a bit of a loaded term these days, and for good reason. Protests still grip much of the United States almost a month after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minnesota Police, with that singular tragedy sparking a much larger movement against racism and state-sponsored violence against Blacks around the world....

A new gameplay trailer for Dying Light 2 was uploaded today, showing off one of the game’s spookier stealth sections as well as some new infected. Uploaded to Dying Light’s official YouTube channel earlier today, the majority of the video shows the player sneaking through an abandoned GRE hospital crawling with infected. Throughout the hospital are seemingly dormant infected, which the protagonist calls “Sleeping Beauties”, that must be carefully navigated around as you make your way through the facility in hopes of finding a biomarker....
