Jeremy Stieglitz, co-founder of Studio Wildcard, reveals that ARK: Survival Evolved has sold over 1 million copies on PS4 since the game released for the system. Although it was a long time coming, ARK: Survival Evolved finally saw its PS4 release on December 6, 2016. Sony fans looking to play the dinosaur-heavy survival game had to be patient while PC and Xbox One users tested the waters of the game, and then had to wait further after a substantial delay to the title’s release date....

Arnold Schwarzenegger never reprises his iconic role as Alan “Dutch” Schaefer from the 1987 film Predator, but the character is making his way back to the jungle in digital form as part of the first premium DLC of Predator: Hunting Grounds. Beginning May 26, players will be able to purchase DLC that adds Dutch as a playable member of the Fireteam, with narration recorded by Schwarzenegger himself. While the character has not returned to film, the dialogue made available in game will provide information about what the character has been doing since the events of the film, which is fitting since the game references key points from the story, such as the use of mud as camouflage against the Predator’s heat vision....

This Arrow review contains spoilers. Arrow Season 6 Episode 20 Review This week is significantly better than the previous episode, but that’s a low bar to clear. It mostly gives us a break from rehashing the Oliver-versus-everyone dynamic, and instead lets us focus on a mission and a classic confrontation with a villain. And yet it can’t seem to escape the problems that have plagued the entire season, from bloated story lines to a confuse use of this Laurel....

Despite a lackluster showcase during Microsoft’s Inside Xbox gameplay event earlier in the month, anticipation for the next entry in the popular Assassin’s Creed franchise remains at an all-time high. In 2017, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Origins acted as a soft-reboot, substantially reinventing the series core gameplay and combat, and that direction will continue on in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, a new Viking themed entry coming due to make its debut as a cross-generation launch title for PS5 and Xbox Series X....

None can deny that Assassin’ Creed Valhalla is a colossal game with numerous locales to explore and secrets to uncover. One area that treasure-hunters might overlook, though, is the Vikings’ native country of Norway. Although players start their journey here, the point is to get to England, where untold wealth supposedly lies. With this in mind, fans can be forgiven for not thinking about what they can find on the home turf....

After four years of the Wii U, we were eagerly anticipating its successor. While there were plenty of great games on the doomed platform, the Wii U just never caught fire with the public at large. But four years into the Switch’s lifespan, and Nintendo has turned things around dramatically. Instead of winding things down, the Switch shows no signs of slowing down, with plenty of excellent third party games in its library, as well as more than a few innovative titles from the Big N as well....

The adventure genre constitutes such a broad spectrum of games that certain titles have very little in common besides being, usually, story-driven and involving exploration to some degree. Be it a short indie project or a sprawling open-world blockbuster, knowing when to end a game is crucial; after all, a dragged out storyline can retroactively diminish an otherwise great experience. Even though the idea of going on an adventure is associated with freedom and world traversal, some fantastic adventure games barely crack the five-hour mark....

It’s true that despite the many positive attributes of the Xbox One, exclusive content isn’t one of its strong suits. Even when disregarding PC multiplats/Play Anywhere, there’s a rather short list of exclusives compared to Sony and Nintendo. Still, you’ve got a number of terrific games that are at least home console exclusives. These games offer tons of action-packed thrills - and they look particularly slick while doing it; allowing you to experience high-end gaming without the sky-high costs of gaming PCs....

The new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles recently hit the market, bringing with them a slew of new games for early adopters to enjoy. Fortunately, those late to the next-gen party are not being left in the dust, thanks to a large handful of cross-generation games letting PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners still enjoy new games for the time being. However, one should be aware of which games run fine on the older hardware and which ones gamers should stay away from until they nab a next-generation console....

Since the release of World Of Warcraft Classic there has been a lot of discussion about how old school MMORPGs stack up against modern ones. Of course there’s always the obvious differences with the graphics and capabilities as technology has advanced, but how do the core mechanics, the guts of the games compare? The most debated comparison is how Classic compares to Elder Scrolls Online. According to fans of both, there are many things Classic does better, but definitely, some things working for ESO....

At the beginning of every game of Civilization 6, players choose both a nation and a leader to control. Some nations have multiple leaders to pick from, which can radically change how they play. A good example is Greece, who can either be lead by the war-like Gorgo or the cultured Pericles. This system means that Firaxis can be flexible with new leaders and doesn’t have to avoid a famous figure simply because they’re from a nation that’s already in Civilization 6....

The Legend of Zelda franchise is a bottomless pit of theories. With symbolism up the wazoo, three separate timelines, and reincarnation playing big parts in the series lore, fans are able to speak endlessly of their varying perspectives and ideas on the land of Hyrule. Nintendo has proven to be stalwart gatekeepers when it comes to the secrets of The Legend of Zelda. Only the smallest fractions of fan theories are confirmed or denied by the video game company....

After countless hours of heartwarming service to the platform, a dedicated member of the Twitch community, OldBuzzardt, has passed away. Twitch has been a safe haven for a lot of people, many of whom have to spend most of their time indoors during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. New users have been flocking to the website because of Twitch’s accessibility to good and entertaining content, while having a quick escape from reality....

The Nintendo Eshop is slowly turning into Steam, much like how Anakin Skywalker slowly transformed into Darth Vader. Nintendo used to be highly protective of what they allowed on their digital service, and they were the strictest when it came to censorship. The days of Nintendo caring seem to have ended, as a game called Panty Party will be coming to the Switch in the Spring. The name Panty Party would suggest that it was some kind of perverted visual novel involving women’s underwear, but that isn’t the case, as Panty Party is actually a 3D battle arena game where you play as a pair of sentient panties....

“The Middle East, Africa, and Turkey present a veritable and rich tapestry of countries [and] cultures,” Tpay Mobile vice president of gaming and esports Onur Ergüney tells me. For those unacquainted with Tpay, it’s a company that provides mobile wallets in the Middle East, Africa, and Turkey. “The MEA [Middle East and Africa] region has limited access to traditional banking infrastructure, with 63 percent of the adult population unbanked. While this is common in emerging markets, it does mean that traditional transactions based on credit and debit cards are not a realistic prospect for many gamers....
