Oh, Fortnite! Who would have thought? You have indeed come into your own as a battle royale title. A year ago we were talking about PUBG, and how it shook up the first-person shooter genre. Today, the spotlight is all on Fortnite. Many may wonder why this game has seemingly taken over the airwaves and has gained a lot of popularity. Some have offered up their reasons why. Unlike PUBG, Fortnite seems a bit more cartoonish so parents may feel younger players can join in which opens up a much broader market for the game....

E3 2018 had plenty of high points. Some of the best trailers presented at the annual industry event came from games like The Last of Us Part 2 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. There were also fresh details about other hotly anticipated titles such as the Let’s Go Pokemon games and Death Stranding. It even offered up major, surprising announcements such as the reveal of The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield during the Bethesda press conference....

After nearly a decade of hype, Cyberpunk 2077 has arrived, and the results are somewhat mixed. Even players visiting Night City on high-end PCs have run into a handful of issues, and there is no question that squashing bugs, improving stability, and optimizing the game across platforms should be priority one for CD Projekt Red. But the underlying game offers a compelling experience, and looking to the future, Cyberpunk 2077 has massive potential where mods are concerned....

The increasing size and scope of video games has led to some incredible innovations in the genre. Gigantic open-world experiences can be intimidating to some audiences, but when they’re done properly they’re like nothing else. Skyrim, the fifth entry in the popular Elder Scrolls series has proven itself to be one of the best examples of this type of game. Skyrim has helped establish the new standard, but there are still lots of other games that strive for something similar, whether it’s accomplished or not....

Perhaps more than any other genre, fighting games are dominated by franchises. Putting aside the occasional anime arena fighter, it is the genre’s classic IPs that always dominate the headlines. This primarily comes down to the competitive market, as certain licenses are fixtures in the eSports scene and it is difficult for new properties to make a dent. While certain fighting franchises continue to produce, at least, one substantial release per generation, other influential licenses have fallen to the wayside over the years....

Questions about screen time and gaming have been occupying the minds of parents for years, but for many the issue has come to a head since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. With most kids stuck at home for much of the last year and parents frantically trying to figure out how to balance childcare and work, many have turned to video games as a source of entertainment and solace in these unusual times....

In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, the Moon Pearl functions as a unique, key item. Unlike one of Link’s trusty weapons, this key item prevents him from becoming a rabbit in the Dark World. Upon entering the Dark World for the first time, Link becomes a defenseless bunny unable to use any of his abilities. Fortunately, he is thrust into a relatively safe part of Death Mountain....

It’s been announced that A Plague Tale: Innocence will get getting an upgrade for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and Nintendo Switch this July. Announced during Xbox’s Extended Games Showcase, A Plague Tale: Innocence is being optimized for Xbox Series X|S, featuring 4K resolution visuals enhancements as well as a smooth 60fps frame rate. As the headline suggests, the upgraded version of the game will be hitting next-gen Xbox consoles on July 6....

Though it’s been over two months since the PlayStation 5 launched in the US, consoles are still being scalped from major retailers all too frequently. For those who may be unfamiliar with the term scalping, it’s the practice of buying rare consumer goods in bulk, such as PS5 consoles, and reselling them at much higher price points to turn a profit. Scalping consumer goods is not a new phenomenon but it’s one that causes many normal consumers no shortage of headaches and frustration....

It’s a test many followers of the games industry subject Call of Duty to on an annual basis: Will Activision’s first-person shooter franchise, which exploded commercially after 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, continue to push the boundaries of record-breaking sales? It’s passed unequivocally in the last three years: Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, and Modern Warfare 3 have successively generated the largest 24-hour openings in entertainment history, and last year saw Call of Duty: Black Ops surpass Wii Play as the best-selling video game of all-time....

Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation following accusations of harassment, discrimination, and fostering a hostile work environment. You can read more about the investigation here. While the community response to the recent Activision Blizzard harassment lawsuit filed by the state of California has been largely supportive, this incident also sadly serves as the latest reminder that fan entitlement is capable of hijacking far more meaningful conversations. In case you missed it, the state of California recently filed a lawsuit against game publisher/developer Activision Blizzard following a two-year investigation into the company’s practices and policies....

Activision Blizzard makes a surprising announcement about the company’s plans for E3 this year, as the veteran publisher intends to partner with PlayStation at the event. Despite the overall success of E3 2015, it appears that Activision Blizzard will bow out of the 2016 version of the event - at least, in the capacity that gamers have come to expect from the company. Activision announced today that it will not have its own booth on the E3 show floor this year, instead opting to exhibit its upcoming titles with the aid of business partners like Sony PlayStation....

Aliens is obviously widely regarded as one of the greatest sequels in cinema history. Yet, despite only adding a subtle pluralization to the title of Ridley Scott’s 1979 bellwether chiller, director James Cameron whisked Sigourney Weaver’s embattled Ellen Ripley away from the spaceship-stuck shadowy insular horror of just one loose Xenomorph into a balls-to-the-wall surface scrap alongside the United States Colonial Marine Corps against a horrendous horde of the creatures. Thusly, one of the 1986 film’s most recognized sounds is the deadly-but-elegant rattle of the M41-A Pulse Rifle, which is set to be immortalized via Nerf....

In Valheim, raids on a player’s base can occur after certain criteria have been met. While inside of a player’s home base, words will appear at the top of the screen, warning a player that something is coming. With or without the best base defenses in Valheim, enemies will spawn and begin to move in. Enemy Events An enemy event triggers at random once a player has completed a certain part of the story or has killed a certain number of enemies....

Oh dear. 1080p 60fps fanatics are going to want to look away now. This isn’t going to be good news for you: the PlayStation Classic is going to be running PAL versions of a lot of its titles. The stars really were aligned for the PlayStation Classic. For one thing, this was the perfect time to release it. The holiday season is a peak time for spending, as we all know....

Ah, the long-awaited Altered Carbon flashback episode! The common thread, of course, between Kovacs’ delirious present and his troubled past is his sister Rei, whose motives reveal themselves throughout the episode leading up to the shocking conclusion. The mission of the Envoys somehow takes on more historical significance even as it is made more real by seeing how Tak and Rei joined the group. Overall, the back story is effective in creating context for what our protagonist might do now that the full scope of what his sister has done has been revealed....

This American Horror Story: Double Feature review contains spoilers. American Horror Story Season 10 Episodes 1 and 2 For 1984, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk channeled their inner Sean S. Cunningham in order to craft a campy, funny, bloody ode to classic slasher movies from Friday the 13th to Sleepaway Camp. From the very opening moments of this season, in which a car sweeps down a deserted two-lane highway along a cold, frosty beach, the first half of American Horror Story: Double Feature, dubbed “Red Tide”, evokes nothing more strongly than the works of Stephen King and Joe Hill....
