Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment’s new battle royale game Apex Legends is experiencing connection issues on both consoles and PC. Respawn has been working to bring the servers back up to speed and while it looks like a lot of issues are fixed, there are still some out there. News of the Apex Legends connection issues first started early Saturday morning and persisted throughout the afternoon. Players getting dropped from matches and an inability to connect to a lobby are the most prominent issues that seem to be affecting Apex Legends right now....

Season 7 of Apex Legends is winding down and fans are speculating about what to expect coming to the game in Season 8. There were already rumors circulating about a new legend named Fuse coming to the game, but thanks to dataminers, players can get their first look at Fuse’s Ultimate ability. The addition of Fuse has not been officially confirmed yet, but it looks like the groundwork has all been done for the legend to make an appearance....

Respawn is spicing up Apex Legends in Season 5 with the brand new Season Quest feature – a massive treasure hunt entitled “The Broken Ghost.” The season-long search will require players to uncover nine different pieces of a mysterious artifact. The first step sees that players collect daily “Treasure Packs,” which are responsible for unlocking rewards and new “Hunts” for the artifact’s pieces. Hunts will occur weekly in Kings Canyon at night (spooky)....

Switch owners have been waiting quite a while for Apex Legends to come out on the console. Their wait is almost over, but once fans have the game on their favorite console, will they have a fair shot at competing with players on other systems via its crossplay ststem? While Apex Legends is likely to run smoothly on the Switch, there are other considerations to consider that may hinder players’ competitive edge....

It’s easy to look back on the past and see it as better than the present– potentially even the future. Maybe that’s why so many video game publishers turn to remakes and remasters, yet it more than likely has to do with how safe beloved franchises are from a profit standpoint. Recreating these long-lost childhood memories does have its pros, like revisiting a graphically-updated Racoon City, but not all video game remakes are designed with the same love, care, and detail....

It appears the leaks and rumors concerning an armored form of Mewtwo appearing in the Pokémon games were true. This is demonstrated by a video on the official YouTube channel for Pokémon that has revealed Armored Mewtwo is coming to Pokémon Go this month. The version of Armored Mewtwo is the same as the one that has appeared in the trailers for the upcoming Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution movie....

The Assassin’s Creed franchise is defined by its many protagonists. They all have their own personalities and live in different time periods. However, one thing each of them has in common is their incredible killing ability. Many of their executions come from the shadows, but they sometimes get in full-on fights, too. And out of all of them, Ezio is among the best in combat. The Italian Assassin has a distinct and deadly fighting style that he develops over the course of his time in the series....

For fans of video games, it doesn’t get much bigger than this week which features multiple big-name releases. Destiny 2 kicked things off earlier in the week, finally launching for PC players, while Bethesda readiest Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus to launch alongside Nintendo’s highly anticipated Super Mario Odyssey. As if that wasn’t enough, Ubisoft is also set to deliver the ambitious Assassin’s Creed Origins later this week after taking a year off from the formerly annual franchise....

To combat this, there are a handful of armor sets in the game the players can wear to properly match their playstyle....

Based in Japan, Studio Ghibli is one of the most well-known animation companies in the world. Their films are known for flowing motion, gorgeous natural landscapes, fantastical worlds, spunky protagonists, and promoting ideas of environmentalism and pacifism. Studio Ghibli has created movies like Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Ponyo, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, The Cat Returns, and many others. Their movies have inspired other creators, including those who make video games....

The Dragon Ball franchise is without a doubt one of the most legendary anime franchises of all time. Akira Toriyama’s epic sci-fi action cartoon saga has been around for over thirty years now, evolving from its humble manga origins to become a media franchise and global phenomenon. The original manga was serialized in Shonen Jump from 1984 to 1995, eventually selling over 240 million copies and becoming the second best-selling manga series of all time....

Few would ever consider how frustrating a pair of flashlights can be on a movie set. Roger Deakins prefers it that way. Still, when those flashlights have to light seven, eight, or ten-minute shots without affecting actors’ performances, their presence becomes its own kind of battle on the set of Sam Mendes’ 1917. “There’s a scene in the trailer where they’ve got flashlights,” Deakins tells us at New York Comic Con....

Something needs to be addressed right off the Buster Sword here: This is not one of those lists that seeks to “prove” that Final Fantasy VII is overrated or doesn’t hold up or was never that great to begin with. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing with things like this. Revered games can be criticized without being completely torn apart. We can be open to exploring the faults of a game we love without it taking away from our fondness for it and without it meaning that we’re suggesting the game doesn’t deserve its acclaim....

I spent all four years of High School being referred to as “Bella” by both students and teachers alike. It might have something to do with the fact that I bear a striking resemblance to the character, but there is no denying that my intense love for the series had a hand in that comparison. The first Twilight film came out while I was in the midst of eighth grade and as a lonely, clumsy, introverted kid with a shy streak that had just moved from the big city to a cold, rainy, small town, I related to the story for some reason....

The passage of time can be cruel, especially in the games industry. With technology moving forward so quickly, memories of classic games can be ravaged by aging graphics, simplistic gameplay and limitations of once cutting-edge hardware. In this list, we celebrate some of the classic games that despite their age, still look and play great today while highlighting some of the others that aren’t so fortunate. Regardless, all of these games are iron-clad classics that deserve your attention....

It’s a mark of how much a game has impacted the industry when it’s still discussed decades after release. Resident Evil and Silent Hill hold this honor, with gamers usually debating which is the better survival horror title. As both originated on the PlayStation 1, the games are greatly associated with the system. Although different breeds of survival horror, Resident Evil and Silent Hill codified the genre on the PS1– solidifying their legacies....

It’s unfair to say that Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t meet expectations because, even if it’s true, the expectations were so ridiculously high that nobody could have hit them. And while some genuinely problematic elements are more than a little disappointing, there are other incredible facets of the game that exceeded even the loftiest of goals. It’s worth looking at these successes and failures with a critical eye, analyzing what worked, what didn’t, and talking it out so we can establish exactly what went right and what went wrong....

If you’re familiar with the Fate series, then you may have already enjoyed the visual novel Tsukihime. For those who have indulged in the early-2000 era series, you’ll be happy to hear Tsukihime will receive the remake treatment this summer on Nintendo Switch and PS4. Tsukihime is almost 21-years-old now, but will find new life in Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon. The original plot follows Shiki Tohno, a young man that almost died, but gained an incredible power after his experience....
