Ever since the official confirmation that Ubisoft was working on Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the action-adventure role-playing game has been compared to the franchise’s former installment, Assassin’s Creed Origins. After all, many consider Origins to be a fresh take on a long-running franchise, so many may fear that Odyssey won’t live up to expectations; however, when it comes to map size, that doesn’t seem likely to be the case. For context, Damascus in the original Assasin’s Creed measured in at 0....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the latest installment of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. After exploring Egypt and Ancient Greece with the previous Assassin’s Creed games, the players must now explore old Norway and England in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and face its various challenges and enjoy its wonderful sceneries. One of the many things players loved about this game is its incredible visuals. The Assassin’s Creed games have always prevailed when it comes to making their worlds as gorgeous and alive as possible....

Did you know you could go fishing in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla? It’s one of the many actions on your action wheel you can easily forget about seeing as the tutorial doesn’t really go over it. It’s kind of like how you can do The Rekindling World Event and not realize that you’re supposed to drop the torch on the floor. Yet if you incorporate fishing into your regular gameplay, it will prove surprisingly profitable....

Many of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla fans are already aware that choices in missions can vary from importance. Some are just for fun, while others can become one of the many mistakes in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla that impact the storyline for the game and how the character interacts with the world. After the “Heavy is the Head” quest in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, players are tasked by Ubba to search for Ceolbert in the Isle of Waifs....

Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi became the most maligned film in all the Star Wars franchise. That’s a pretty huge dubious honor in that it became more hated than Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the forgettable animated offering that was panned by critics and fans alike. The film’s infamy was more magnified due to the divide between the general audience and critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film’s critical score is almost double than what the fans have rated it....

Ah, He-Man. Just that name alone swaddles me in waves of comfortable nineties nostalgia. Now, granted, the much beloved He-Man and the Masters of the Universe show was a little before my time. I was born right at the close of the eighties, and so arrived too late to enjoy its brief 1983-1985 original run. Still, though. As today’s endless reruns of Friends, Cheers, Frasier and such will testify, TV shows are never really gone....

A great hero captures our attention, but a chilling villain keeps us coming back for more! In hindsight, the ’90s were among the more rewarding decades for children and cartoon aficionados. Following a chiefly frustrating period of around 15 years, Disney temporarily recaptured its glory days and enjoyed a renaissance period. Admittedly, Mickey Mouse’s grip loosened towards the end of the century, but Beauty and the Beast instigated a brief era of cinematic brilliance for the studio....

Despite being the Persona series’ “means by which all things are revealed,” the tarot holds many hidden meanings. The fourth major arcana, however, is fairly straightforward as far as symbolism and significance goes. The Emperor represents the ultimate male ego, the absolute governance of secular law, patriarchal power, arbitration, and control over one’s surroundings. Yet this description is seemingly at odds with Persona 5’s Emperor confidant, Yusuke Kitagawa. The artful Phantom Thief is deeply eccentric, somewhat aloof, and while he periodically makes definitive declarations about the nature of beauty, art, and lobsters, he more often defers to the will of the party as a whole....

The latest entry into Microsoft’s hit FPS series is underway in 2021 with Halo Infinite, but another delve into that universe appears to be on the horizon as a job listing hints towards a new project. On Microsoft’s careers website, it stated, “343 Industries is looking for a producer to help develop a new project in the Halo universe.” Perhaps it’s a spin-off, but a sequel doesn’t seem likely. Microsoft intends for Infinite to act as a live-service, long-lasting game, so an Infinite 2 being in development when the first isn’t even out yet wouldn’t make sense....

For serious fans of the Halo series, the surprisingly stylish announcement trailer for Halo 4 was Christmas come early. It’s already been too long to know what’s been happening to Master Chief, and the trailer revealed that the next game in the series would be picking up right where the story left off. But not, Halo 4’s Director of development is hinting that quite a lot has happened since we last saw the Chief, and players can expect that the protagonist won’t be the same old faceless space marine this time around....

The original Xbox was a controversial piece of gaming equipment to say the least. While some found it to be a beast of a machine, others found that it was buggy with a short shelf life. Regardless of your experience with the console, you can’t deny that it had some great exclusive titles. Some brought genres to new heights and others left a nostalgic mark in our memories, but the Xbox will always have a place in our hearts....

The PlayStation 2 has held the title for the most popular game console for a very long time, a title that was earned by having great hardware, price, and a huge selection of games, as well as other little-known facts. The problem with having a large selection of games, however, is that some games will be completely overshadowed by others for one reason or another, despite their quality. While it’s logical that amazing games tend to become popular due to their quality, some good games are unknown to most, often being rediscovered years later....

RPGs (role-playing games) today involve completing quests and building a fictional character in a fictional setting. It’s a blanket statement, but RPGs haven’t changed much in recent years. Taking place in the fictional country of Albion, Fable 4 is an upcoming action RPG. Fable 4 needs to innovate for it to stand out in a saturated RPG market. The previous Fable games are renowned for their relatable stories and unique settings....

Fans of the Resident Evil series are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the series’ eighth mainline installment on next-gen consoles in 2021. With all-new, characters, enemies, and a completely fresh setting, the internet is absolutely rampant with speculation as to what gamers could be in for when the title finally drops. However, though there’s ample reason to be excited, there are a few features that have us a bit worried. Why did Chris Redfield seemingly kill Mia in the debut trailer’s final moments?...

The MMORPG world has gone through major upheavals. Not only is Classic WoW getting its next and possibly final patch, but the latest retail expansion, Shadowlands, is up and running after a tense delay. So far, opinions on whether it’s a good or bad thing overall are starkly divided, with some hating the new features and others loving them. Whether or not an expansion is truly great is always easier a few years down the road, so it’s not a shock to see that the jury is still out on this one....

As players of Civilization 6 have definitely noticed, the Maya and Gran Columbia Pack added a few new features including 4 unique disasters. These have been a new obstacle for every player to face with their introduction in Civilization 6. However, there are many disasters from the real world that have yet to rear their ugly heads. What are disasters in Civ 6? As mentioned before, disasters are a feature that was not available in previous titles....

Warning: contains spoilers for A Discovery of Witches season 2 episode 8. Near the end of A Discovery of Witches season two, episode eight, Peter Knox walks into the hospital room where new parents Sophie and Nathaniel are recovering from the birth of their daughter Margaret (no, nobody else is much keen on the name either). As a powerful witch who represents his people on political assembly the Congregation, he’s there to verify that the baby is – as he’s been told – a witch born to daemons, and then to kidnap the child so that she can be raised by her own species....

VentureBeat writer Jeff Grubb is claiming that the long-fabled Nintendo Direct for March is set for tomorrow. Grubb published an article on March 10 claiming that Nintendo would be publishing an Indie Direct and another major Nintendo Direct in March, and with half of the article already correct, it seems that a Direct is set for tomorrow. Grubb posted a tweet on March 25 claiming that the Direct is still on track to happen, following it up with another message saying, “Nintendo has planned on March 26 for a long time....

Recently, Atlus has found amazing success in western audiences with Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal. The JRPG’s immense popularity has significantly expanded the Persona fanbase far beyond what it once was, especially in North America. Now, Persona 4 Golden has released on PC and is already seeing great success for an eight-year-old game that’s an enhanced handheld version of a 12-year-old game. Many have assumed that a Persona 3 Portable port would come next, but Persona 3 would benefit greatly from a remake over an original port....
