Video game industry analyst Michael Pachter has been offering his predictions on what 2019 will have in store for gaming. He’s predicted that Overwatch and Black Ops 4’s Blackout battle royale mode will both go free-to-play, and that Nintendo will launch a handheld-only Nintendo Switch revision. He’s also predicted that Rockstar Games, hot off the heels of the wildly successful Red Dead Redemption 2, will announce a new title in 2019 that will launch in 2020....

Compared to its predecessors, Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers a great deal of customization options for players to sink their teeth into when it comes to home decoration. This includes, but is not limited to, the customizable Nintendo Switch model that players receive in the mail after a certain length of play. According to Nintendo Life, players who have updated their copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons to version 1.1.0 or later should have received an in-game model of their Nintendo Switch via the game’s mail system....

Apex Legends is now on Season 8 and that means quite a few changes to the game. You will see things like changes to ranked play, map adjustments, and some epic items in the new battle pass. It can be difficult to pinpoint exactly what changes have been made, but there are some you should be made aware of for the next time you play. The biggest changes have come to ranked play as they make adjustments due to the increasing volume of players coming to the game....

It is almost time fellow Legends. Apex Legends Season 9: Legacy is almost upon us, bringing with it huge map changes, sweeping balance changes, a new Legend, a new Weapon, and bigger than all of that, a brand new game mode, Arenas. It’s understandable to get excited about such an event, but hold your horses, getting excited won’t speed up time. The launch of Season 9 is coming very soon, and in this guide we’re going to break down exactly when you should expect to see Apex Legends update for the new season in your timezone....

When the release date for ARK: Survival Evolved was initially announced for August 8, alongside some rather tempting ARK: Survival Evolved collector’s editions, fans who had picked up the game in its early access model were excited to see what the full release had in store. Unfortunately, gamers will be left waiting a little while longer, as the game’s launch has been pushed back. The news comes courtesy of developer Studio Wildcard, who took to the game’s official community forums to announce that the release date for the full retail version of ARK: Survival Evolved has now been pushed back....

Ark is a bad game. Ask anyone who plays it and they’ll tell you the same thing: the game is a buggy mess, the developers are evil, and no one should ever play it. Yet, somehow, we’ve all sunk hundreds, if not thousands of hours into this “bad” game. The reason is simple, Ark: Survival Evolved is terrible at being a video game, but when it comes to being a life simulator, it’s incredible....

The worst NES games of all time are a truly special breed of bad video games. Say what you will about the downsides of the modern video game industry (and there is certainly a lot to say), but there is, in most cases, a baseline standard of quality ensured by better, cheaper technology, experience, and more controlled distribution channels. You may get the occasional indie game that is basically a scam, but when it comes to major releases…well, even Cyberpunk 2077 was pretty good in a lot of ways....

15-year-old William ‘Amnesiac’ Barton books a spot in the 2016 Hearthstone World Championships after winning the Americas Winter Championship this past weekend. Over the weekend, Blizzard held the Hearthstone Americas Winter Championship, the first major event of the game’s annual Championship Tour. Despite some tough competition, the winner of the tournament was 15-year-old prodigy William ‘Amnesiac’ Barton. Amnesiac has been one to watch for many Hearthstone fans since he began his rise in 2015....

The Pokémon craze is something that started back in 1995 when the first games for the series were announced for the Gameboy. Little did we know at that time that Pokémon would go on to be one of the most influential media entities around the world. First came the games, then the anime and after that the trading cards. Pokémon is now an integral part of the Japanese culture, the importance of which can be derived from the fact that Pikachu was nominated as one of the official mascots for Japan during the 2014 FIFA World Cup....

Destiny 2: Beyond Light has added Europa and Darkness Subclasses to the franchise for the first time. New items to earn and a new raid are enough to keep any avid Destiny fan busy. To make matters worse, there are also multiple quests that unlock Stasis Subclass features and certain boons while patrolling Europa’s frozen wastes. With the number of progression systems introduced after Beyond Light’s campaign, it can be disorienting figuring out what to do....

Ever since I started streaming, I’ve had no real need to play video games on a traditional television. Unless I was traveling and hooking up my PlayStation 4 to a hotel room television, my preference was to play my PS4 using the PC monitors on my desk. Quite honestly, playing games closer to the screen made it difficult for me to play (or care about playing) on a big screen TV....

When growing up, we are taught a bunch of life skills on how to interact with others and the world around us. Saying ‘please’ and ’thank you’ become second nature to us as we go about our lives. Some etiquette rules vary from family to family; leaving elbows off the table, putting milk in tea first or last, how you take turns using the TV remote. Etiquette rules have changed and evolved over time and are different in each country....

A four-year-old’s family was investigated in 2019 after the child’s Fortnite comments were mistaken for being something far more sinister. Chances are a lot of you reading this wish that your kids would play a little less Fortnite. Well, probably not as much as one family in the UK. Their four-year-old talking about the game at school ended with the family receiving a late-night visit from a police officer, and even being investigated under the government’s Prevent strategy....

People can say what they want about Cyberpunk 2077 and how it plays on release whether positive or negative, but the world is very pretty (when it runs well on PC). That said, those people are absolutely justified in their complaints because wow, does this game have a lot of issues. Even the new hotfix, while attempting to help, is actually adding more bugs into the mix as well. That said, when Night City looks good, it looks very good, and when it looks bad, it looks like something from the last generation, but admit it, this game was never going to look as good as people thought it would in their minds....

“I think I’ve always been my own kind of person, and you know sometimes to my detriment,” says Malcolm McDowell, chatting to Den of Geek via Zoom, 50 years after the release of A Clockwork Orange. “I’ve never really played the Hollywood card, I’m not really an insider, that’s just not my thing. And I like to be able to say no. And that’s it.That’s not probably a politically correct thing to do....

Steam, arguably the biggest video game distribution service out there, has given gamers everywhere access to an incredibly massive library of games, from smaller indies to big AAA titles. Since Steam now houses such a large library of games, many use the service to track the ever-fluctuating success and popularity of games. Over the years, many Flash games have grown and adapted, especially with the impending shut down of Adobe Flash in 2021....

It seems quite obvious by now that a lot of video games need to be made, as we all have great ideas that we know could be amazing in game form. Imagine your idea was going to happen. Just think: your idea for a game was going to go down and you were going to lead the team that makes it. Your dream game was going to come true, and a lot of people heard you were making it....

Among Us has experienced explosive, almost unheard-of growth during quarantine. Two years after its release, Among Us has gone from being an under-the-radar local party game to a giant among online multiplayers, standing shoulder to shoulder with Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout in terms of popularity. Twitch streamers can’t get enough of it. Among Us’s simple, engaging gameplay and affordable price tag (free for Android and iOS devices and just about $5....
