Despite his previous consoles being repeatedly shut down, “Crank That” rapper Soulja Boy reportedly plans to release another Soulja gaming console with “all new games.” But based on Soulja Boy’s previous endeavors in gaming, it’s unclear if this console will be a legitimate entry into the industry or just an emulator knock-off of popular gaming hardware. Apparently, Soulja Boy is back at it with more ideas. A Twitter account called Soulja Game Console (@SouljaGame) was created sometime this month with the first tweet reading “Soulja Game coming soon…....

Several weeks ago, Ubisoft confirmed the release date of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which will fall on November 17, 2020. As fans patiently wait for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, it is worth knowing that Green Man Gaming is currently holding an Assassin’s Creed franchise sale, which is perfect for those looking to play previous installments before the release of the upcoming game. Headlining Green Man Gaming’s Assassin’s Creed franchise sale is Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which was released back in 2018....

Assassins Creed: Ragnarok will be coming out soon and might feature another huge map like its predecessor. Assassins Creed: Odyssey had a sprawling world that encompassed the whole of ancient Greece. Some players loved the size and detail of the map, but many felt it was just too big. Odyssey continued to build on the RPG elements from Assassins Creed: Origins and allowed players to build a unique skill tree. It also featured decision-making and conversational systems that could influence the game....

Setting aside reports of stability issues and crashing on the PS5 version, update 1.0.4 for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla seems to have fixed at least one problem on the Xbox Series X. In their earlier comparison video, Digital Foundry determined that the Xbox Series X suffered from worse overall performance than the PS5 version of the game. Now with that patch’s arrival, Xbox Series X performance has been improved but at a price....

Saved by the Bell was a show that survived against terrible odds on numerous occasions. It started out as an NBC pilot for a different show, called Good Morning, Miss Bliss that focused on a teacher and the faculty at her school. This pilot led to an initial season, which was passed on by NBC and picked up by the Disney Channel. The show would later be retooled into Saved by the Bell, which focused on the kids at the school....

Skyrim has lasted far past its original release date in the year of 2011 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. And with its absolutely mammoth map filled with all manner of dungeons, caves, and cities it is no surprise that is still being played until this day. For fans of this type of open-world RPG, the replayability can be endless. But while it is obvious Bethesda have a big focus on the scale of the world creating a huge area for players to explore and fight in, they also have a good understanding of what makes these worlds actually feel alive; the details....

Everyone loves Nintendo. Over the decades they’ve created a very loyal fanbase. Even those who roll their eyes and say that they are too samey still enjoy their games. Yes, they’re predictable, but if last year proved anything it’s that they’re still meeting our expectations. While I’ll admit that it would be good to see some more original content come out of Nintendo, and while not every game they’ve made over the years has been a gem, I still appreciate the effort they put into their games....

One of the joys of playing a long-standing series like Fallout is seeing the graphics evolve over the years. From Fallout’s humble isometric-view beginnings to its expansive, first and third-person views that allowed players to fully immerse themselves in the detailed world of Fallout 3, the series produces improved visuals with every iteration. Fallout 4 will take Fallout graphics even higher, with plans to fully utilize ultra-high resolutions on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and modern gaming PCs....

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse studio Sony Pictures Animation is continuing to stretch its creative muscles as there will be a K-Pop-inspired demon hunter film from directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans. This film is like a next-level Hannah Montana. The girls are training for their big debut as a worldwide sensation K-Pop band, but in the shadows, they assume secret identities to take down demons. One of the film’s conflicts is that they will be trying to balance both of these lives at the same time, so you could say this film is similar to Kim Possible as well....

A Plague Tale: Innocence seems to have caught the gaming community by surprise. The game released quietly just today, and it has earned strong reviews, currently sitting at an 81 average on OpenCritic. This makes the game one of the highest-rated outings by developer Asobo Studio, primarily known for licensed games based on Pixar movies and motion-controlled Kinect titles in the past. Considering the surprisingly strong critical reception, some may be wondering if A Plague Tale: Innocence is worth the buy....

Video games have evolved radically over the past few decades in more ways than one. At the dawn of gaming, many developers had to experiment with what worked and what didn’t.

Needless to say, there were quite a few hiccups along the way, and localizing a video game to a different language is no exception....

However, whereas Celeste focuses on precision platforming, Ageless focuses on order of operations puzzle-solving to progress. Still, there are noticeable similarities, so comparing is inevitable....
