There are many horror games in development for virtual reality platforms, so here is our pick of the six that we think have the best chance of delivering a quality experience. One reason why virtual reality technology is exciting is its potential to provide more immersive gaming experiences than were ever possible before. The horror genre especially seems like it would benefit from this increased level of immersion, and developers have recognized this, with numerous horror games currently in development for VR hardware....

A cinematographer for the upcoming Disney Plus series Moon Knight may have just confirmed that Oscar Isaac has been cast in the main role. Cinematographer Gregory Middleton, who has worked on projects like HBO’s Watchmen, wrote on his Instagram, “Well the secret is out. It’s an honor to be part of introducing a new character to the MCU #MoonKnight. Who says cinematographers worry about white costumes!…not if they are complex characters played by an amazing performer like @officialoscarrisaac....

This A Discovery of Witches review contains spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here. As honeymoon destinations go, Elizabethan London isn’t quite the Maldives (fewer coconuts, roughly the same amount of leeches) but for historian Dr Diana Bishop, it may as well be. To a history nut like her, the prospect of experiencing life in the 16th century must have been quite something. To meet Sir Walter Raleigh, see St Paul’s before Christopher Wren got his hands on it, wear gowns so voluminous that a small family and several pets could be comfortably housed beneath her skirts… she’d be living the dream....

From the earliest days of arcade games all the way through the newest generation of consoles; secret levels, hidden messages, and weird facts have always been a part of the video game culture. The days of waiting for the next issue of Nintendo Power to hit news stands and reveal hints about a hidden level may be far behind us, but even in the age of limitless information on the internet there are still plenty of little known facts that gamers more often than not overlook....

Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick is taking some flack from his stockholders due to making way more money than he really should. Bobby Kotick is widely seen as one of the most overpaid CEOs in America. He’s certainly one of the most overpaid CEO’s in gaming, as Gamespot notes that he made over $30 million last year, and made even more money the year before. Now one of Activision Blizzard’s investors is starting to raise the alarm....

With Spider-Man: Miles Morales set to hit shelves in just a few days’ time, fans of Insomniac’s take on the iconic Marvel superhero are likely itching to get stuck in. The game will act as a follow-up to Marvel’s Spider-Man’s original campaign that released in 2018, following Miles Morales as he learns to hone his powers and embrace the responsibility the mantel of being Spider-Man brings. Mega-fans looking to immerse themselves even more into the action of the new Spider-Man game can even get themselves a real-life replica of Miles’ kit thanks to Adidas, who has recently announced it will be releasing a pair of sneakers that tie-in to the upcoming spin-off....

Demand for Nvidia’s RTX 30 series graphics cards has outpaced availability to an astounding degree, and finding the enormous GPU at market price is almost impossible. But shrewd gamers in the market for a comprehensive upgrade may be able to snag a tower featuring Nvidia’s rare card and at a slight discount, no less. Nvidia has publicly apologized for its mishandling of the RTX 3080 launch, with the Founder’s Edition selling out of their online storefront virtually instantaneously....

Though it’s never been a staid subject among gamers, Electronic Arts ignited a rather heated controversy last week when chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen, speaking at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, appeared to suggest that microtransactions would be incorporated into each of the publisher’s upcoming games. “We’re building into all of our games the ability to pay for things along the way, either to get to a higher level to buy a new character, to buy a truck, a gun, whatever it might be," Jorgensen announced last week....

More and more news keeps dripping from GW studios, and recently they gave us an insight into some alternative color schemes for the new minis in Warhammer 40,000 Indomitus. Games Workshop is set to release a new edition of their tabletop war game, Warhammer 40,000. So far they have unveiled a new logo (first in 22 years)l and the contents of the Indomitus launch box set. This features all-new sculpts for Space Marine and Necron armies....

Toxicity in gaming is still a problem that nobody has been able to really solve. The best we’ve managed to do is make small steps like removing celebratory dances in FIFA 21 or fining pro League of Legends players, but taking on an entire community just seems like too big of a problem to solve. Most online multiplayer games use a series of criteria for their matchmaking queues to ensure everyone has a fun time, ranging from network connectivity to a players’ skill level....

Pepsi versus Coke. Duracell versus Energizer. Marvel versus DC. McDonald’s versus any semblance of healthy eating. Famous brand rivalries have come to define commerce in the modern age so much that we expect to see everything through the dichotomy of one dominant player and a plucky underdog trying to take top spot, even though they almost never do. Except in the case of AMD. The plucky underdog has finally pulled one out against chipmaking juggernaut Intel by finally acquiring a slim majority of the desktop CPU market, according to benchmark software producer PassMark....

The Nintendo Switch is set to outpace both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X this holiday season, according to a recent report by the Ace Institute of Economics. Although Sony and Microsoft are working hard to build interest in the next generation of consoles, Nintendo’s recent sales performance points to a scenario where neither of the new entrants come to dominate the market. Specifically, analyst Hideki Yasuda points to the constant stock shortage that the Nintendo Switch has faced around the world since February, with production unable to keep up a supply to meet consumer demand....

If you’ve ever wanted to snuggle up to Tom Nook or Isabelle on a cold night, then Build-A-Bear has answered your concerning desire. The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Build-A-Bear line launched earlier this week, and it wasn’t so surprising to hear that it had sold out on the same day. The collection went live on April 6, following a rather sudden announcement by Nintendo. The faces of this line were, of course, Resident Services’ finest Tom Nook and Isabelle, whose bears retailed at $51 each....

The third Ant-Man movie officially has its title. Previously known as simply Ant-Man 3, it is now officially Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which makes it sound like a psychedelic rock band. It’s shockingly appropriate, really. The news came down as one of a few dozen big revelations from Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios president, who unleashed a flood of Marvel news on December 10 as part of a presentation he gave at the Walt Disney Company’s 2020 Investor Day event....

As one of the biggest free-to-play online battle royale games currently in the gaming world, Apex Legends has some really well-designed characters. As many fans know, the game that we play is a televised event in the Apex World, known as the Apex Games. The details put into the game could be why many gamers believe Battle Royale’s are here to stay. In the world of Apex, the Syndicate is the ‘‘company’’ that runs the games and they also rule over seven planets that make up something called Syndicate Space....

Respawn Entertainment has decided to trade constant updates to Apex Legends in favor of a healthier and better work environment for their employees. This means that changes don’t come as often as they do in Fortnite, but that isn’t a big deal if they continue to add really neat characters like they most recently did with the addition of Wattson. She was the 10th legend added to the game and has a backstory that ties her closer to the Apex Games than anyone else....

A recent tweet from an Apex Legends writer is causing speculation that supposedly deceased would-be Apex Games competitor Jimmy “Forge” McCormick may eventually return to the game. Respawn Entertainment introduced Forge in Season 3 only to quickly off him to make way for Revenant, who emerged as an Apex Games contender soon after. Who is Forge? Leading up to the Apex Legends Season 4 launch, Respawn announced Forge would be the game’s forthcoming legend and went as far as to release a series of lore pieces to support this announcement....

As one of the primary marketing aspects behind the forthcoming Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, many may have simply discarded the ability to hijack horse-drawn carriages as Ubisoft’s simplistic take on Grand Theft Auto. While hijacking any sort of vehicle is certainly reminiscent of the franchise that popularized the action, there’s something truly special about pulling it off in the newest Assassin’s game. I scored four hours worth of hands-on time with the PlayStation 4 version of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate during a recent visit to Ubisoft’s Quebec City studio, where I was given free range of Sequence 3 and 7 from the game’s main campaign....

For every iteration, gamers get excited where the Assassin’s Creed franchise will take players next. After all, history is everyone’s playground. The series has been all throughout time, from the Aegean war to the industrial revolution and everywhere else in between. It’s more often than not that the setting is important, because that makes an Assassin’s Creed game. On top of that its the features. The series has evolved from a stealth-based action game to a full-blown RPG....
