The Assassin Brotherhood is the principal organization that acts as the heroes in the world of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. They are the sworn enemies of the Templar Order. Both groups technically have the same goal, which is to save humanity, but their means and ideologies couldn’t be further apart from one another. The only thing more interesting about this enigmatic organization is its history. Forever serving under the cover of darkness, the outside world knows very little about the Assassin Brotherhood....

When a series has run as long as Assassin’s Creed has, there needs to be some kind of innovation that keeps the interest alive. The franchise has had a few titles that have revamped gameplay greatly, although Valhalla can’t be included here as the game brings back tried-and-tested techniques. Many of them have devolved into weaker levels due to the repetition involved. Other points are weak due to the failure in execution or needless convolution in this regard....

A region in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is called Cent and it is a beautiful location filled with coastlines and greenery. It is also home to several World Events that you are tasked with completing. They can seem easy at first, but then they throw a curveball and you are stuck confused about what to do. Luckily, they are not as hard as they seem, although occasionally you might need some help to solve them....

The world of Middle-earth was created from a combination of notes that J.R.R. Tolkien wrote throughout most of his life, which eventually formed the basis for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Tolkien passed away before he had a chance to finish telling the story of Middle-earth, which is why Christopher Tolkien stepped up to the task and spent most of his life assembling his father’s work into a cohesive whole....

Bulla Brief is the daughter of Vegeta and Bulma and now one of the side characters of Dragon Ball Super. She has a brother named Trunks, a grandmother named Panchy, and a grandfather named Dr. Brief. Though this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Bulla’s life. She’s smart, strong, intelligent, and charismatic, just like her mother! But there’s also much more to her than meets the eye....

Name a more iconic duo—Starsky & Hutch, Mario and Luigi, Dustin and Steve (shoutout to Stranger Things) or my personal favorite, Deadpool and Wolverine. Deadpool and Wolverine might not get along for the most part, or really get along ever, but that doesn’t stop them from being one of the funniest duos in the superhero universe. Deadpool and Wolverine’s “friendship” is the type of relationship I’m sure I would’ve had if I had a brother....

Far Cry 5 represents a radical departure for the series, which will come to the rural United States after sojourns into the frontiers of tropical islands and the Himalayas. Since leaks about Far Cry 5 confirmed its fictional Montana setting, gamers have been left wondering exactly what that means for a series that has made its name on exploring the unknown and fending off all kinds of domestic and exotic adversaries....

Unless you have been living under a rock, Fortnite is one of the most recognised games out there to date; along with Warcraft and Counter-Strike: Source. It is an anxiety-inducing battle royale game where your mission is to be the last person standing; whether it is in teams or solo. As of late, Epic Games has released many features that keep their audiences engaged and begging for more. I’m talking about challenges, different scenarios, and the most lucrative of all: skins....

Microsoft’s biggest first-party franchise for Xbox is, and has always been, Halo. The series has been going strong for over 12 years and its popularity has yet to dwindle in that time span, but new players may have missed out on the story of Master Chief’s beginnings. That’s why 343 Industries and the house of Bill Gates have opted to revamp the entire story of John-117 on Xbox One with Halo: The Master Chief Collection....

None of the mainline Pokemon titles are particularly difficult. That’s why players often look for secret side quests in them, or when that proves too small a challenge, just make their own. There are many challenges associated with Pokemon games that make them more difficult. Perhaps the most well known and widespread is the Nuzlocke challenge, where any Pokemon that faints is gone for good. Twitch plays Pokemon proved to be a popular one as well, with a Twitch chat controlling the player’s every move....

Remakes are a big deal in the gaming world these days. Gamers that grew up with Final Fantasy 7 are now experiencing the same game in a totally new way with the appropriately titled Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Activision is also cashing in on the remake craze with games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, Spyro Reignited, and the upcoming Diablo 2: Resurrected. Another old franchise that Activision just might remake: Pitfall....

The roguelike has evolved a great deal in recent years thanks to games like Spelunky, Dead Cells, and, most recently, Hades. Yet with all this advancement, longtime fans of the genre may be yearning for something a little more old-school. Fortunately, that’s just what they’ll be getting early next year, as it’s been announced that a sequel to the cult classic ADOM (Ancient Domains of Mystery) is in development. Said sequel is called Ultimate ADOM - Caverns of Chaos, and is coming out on February 11, 2021 courtesy of developer Team ADOM and publisher Assemble Entertainment....

A lone modder releases an extensive mode that drastically overhauls the notoriously bad Aliens: Colonial Marines, turning the laughably stupid Aliens into relentless killing machines. While developer Gearbox Software has built quite the franchise in the Borderlands series, the studio does have a large blemish on its sterling record: Aliens: Colonial Marines. Billed as the game Aliens fans had been waiting for, Gearbox set tongues wagging with a truly impressive trailer at E3 2011....

Good news for those holding onto hope for a VALORANT beta drop: all Twitch streamers who are playing the game will now have drops enabled. There is no need to be careful or selective about who you watch anymore; If a streamer is in the VALORANT category, drops will be enabled on their stream automatically. Although this can seem relatively insignificant, Twitch users have had issues with identifying fakes throughout the past week....

While many who’ve played the game believe Rocket Arena has the potential to be the next great multiplayer shooter, its price tag has been holding it back considerably. The game originally launched back in July for $29.99, which was a massive turn-off for a lot of would-be players. EA has since cut Rocket Arena’s price down considerably to just $4.99, but it goes without saying that most would prefer to not pay anything if possible....

In the 100 years between The Dark Descent and Amnesia: Rebirth, more than just the monsters stalking you have evolved. Possibly just as frightening are the puzzles this game has up its sleeve, fully capitalizing on the cryptic and alien locations you will find yourself in when you make it into the Alchemist’s Laboratory. If you’re feeling as helpless as Tasi in solving this puzzle, we’ll help illuminate things for you....

The Animal Crossing franchise has always been about player freedom and customization. Whether you prefer to spend your time meticulously decorating your house, tweaking your town/island itself or ‘choosing’ the perfect ten villagers over the course of many Mystery Tours (and/or Amiibo cards), the experience can be entirely tailored to each player’s preferences. Sadly, while Animal Crossing: New Horizons was very generous with customization options, the series has taken a long time to get to that point....

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has brought a huge amount of new and old adorable villagers to the Nintendo Switch. All sorts of different faces, animals, and personalities all can come live on your island, and everyone is bound to have a personal favorite that they admire most. When deciding which ones to invite to your island, it’s important to think about which villager might represent you the most, and the best way to do that is to seek the one that best fits your astrological sign....

Anthem’s Early Access is just a day away, so BioWare has helped put together something special for fans to celebrate. Today director Neill Blomkamp released his live-action short film “Conviction”, an official Anthem story. BioWare and Blomkamp began teasing the short film several days ago, including a short trailer featuring narration from a Cypher whispering about the Anthem. “Conviction” is as much a trailer as it is a short film, teasing several plot threads from the game, including showcasing the online multiplayer game’s villain, The Monitor....

A closer look at gameplay for Anthem, BioWare’s online multiplayer action RPG, may be just over a week away. Lead producer Mike Gamble posted on social media Monday morning that he and co-producer Ben Irving are planning to livestream Anthem gameplay for Halloween. Gamble then corrected that the livestream would actually be on November 1, but that Irving would still wear his “giant Transformers costume.” More details are expected soon....
