Bangalore is one of the unlocked legends in Apex Legends, but she isn’t as easy to use as your might think. Her abilities are fairly basic, although it takes a truly skilled player to use her efficiently in a fight. It can really hurt a team when someone fails to use this character correctly. Luckily, there are a few things you can do when playing Bangalore to take your gameplay to the next level....

Recently, Apex Legends received its first new gun addition in the form of the Havoc Assault Rifle. Now, thanks to the code files for it and the L-Star LMG, we may now know when the L-Star will appear in the game as well, which may very well occur before the official start of season one. For the uninitiated, the addition of these two weapons has been known for some time. Fans are now getting to enjoy the Havoc in-game, but the L-Star is still a no show....

Apple’s rumored VR headset might cost upwards of $3,000, according to a new report from The Information. The ultra-premium device will also allegedly feature 8k displays, offer both VR and AR capabilities, and run on a chipset more powerful than the current M1.

Gains that will help you reach the max level of 99 in the game....

Ubisoft has been in the spotlight a lot recently, and often for the wrong reasons. While the discussion surrounding Ubisoft and its games was once limited to lack of creativity, more serious topics are now the norm. Concerns over a plothole in the Assassin’s Creed’s timeline have been replaced by concerns over sexual harassment, abuse, and worse. Multiple accusations were leveled at executives and employees at Ubisoft, many of them very serious....

The world of Assassin’s Creed, especially the newest game Valhalla, is filled with a variety of characters that spans thousands of years of history. Whether those characters are fictional or important historical figures, the characters that Ubisoft has shown players have been on all levels of the personality spectrum. One of the more recent characters introduced is Valhalla protagonist Eivor’s adopted brother, Sigurd. Love or hate the guy, he is an important character in the game’s story and is someone a lot of people in Ravensthorpe look up to....

Back in November, a select group of lucky players were able to buy copies of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla for a shockingly cheap price thanks to a glitch. Now, something similar is happening in-game, specifically for the PC version, as it’s being reported that players have been able to acquire vast amounts of in-game items for free. PC players have been sharing free cheat software to download customization packs from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Helix Store without having to pay for any of it, including the Berserker, Valkyrie, Draugr, and Huldufolk Packs, all of which contain cosmetics for Eivor’s armor and weapons....

Despite the release of the timeline for the Zelda series, some fans stick to the theory that each game is just a retelling of the same story in a different way. Their evidence has one huge main ingredient: recurring characters. The hero, the princess, and the villain are often the same: Link, Zelda, and Ganon. The lore pushes that these three essential characters are basically constantly reincarnated. Things got even more complicated when Ocarina of Time created three separate timelines for these reincarnations....

The ending of Dragon Ball Z is considered to be unsatisfactory by many fans of the series. Goku goes off to train with Uub… and that’s about it. We don’t get much in the way of conclusions for the character arcs of the series, with the story ending at the start of someone else’s adventure. With Akira Toriyama ready to take a long rest after creating a weekly manga series for so long, it was up to Toei to create their own continuation of the series....

Darth Vader is such an iconic symbol of evil and power that Star Wars has made him it’s unofficial mascot. There is perhaps no more evocative single image from a franchise full of memorable designs that evoke more of an immediate reaction than that cold, sleek, black, samurai-inspired helmet. Voted the best villain of all time, out of 100 competitors, by IGN. An argument could be made that Darth Vader is the real main character of the Star Wars films....

Classic cartoons only captured a small fragment of character’s lives. We knew The Jetsons featured married couples, but we know little of their lives as young adults. The creators of these shows didn’t have time to give us every detail of these characters’ lives. They may have also wanted us to imagine what could have been. Some fans were able to make this possible by recreating cartoons into live-action movies, like The Flintstones....

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled’s quips and loveable characters make it stand out from other kart-racing games. One might wonder how many kart-racing games there could be. Some notable titles are Mario Kart, M&M Kart Racing, Looney Tunes: Space Race, F1 Race Stars, Team Sonic Racing, Diddy Kong Racing, and Digimon Racing. Kart-racing games have been a significant genre of the video game industry for quite some time. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is on track to be one of the highest-selling games of the year—no pun intended....

With the exception of some licenses, an argument can be made that most of the games on the original Xbox were underappreciated. Compared to the Xbox 360 and even the Xbox One, Microsoft’s first foray into the console market was a decent but not spectacular commercial success. While certain games garnered universal acclaim and recognition, other great titles fell by the wayside. Some releases like Dead or Alive 3 became synonymous with the Xbox brand due to being launch titles, while games from established franchises like The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind benefitted from being console exclusives....

Wildermyth follows the story of characters from lowly farmers to legendary heroes, with fire-infused transformations, epic weaponry, and background stories that grow organically over your campaigns. The story is procedurally generated, which means no two runs will be the same.

The mechanics are relatively straightforward, but the game is quite deep when it comes to strategy and how you decide to build your characters....
