As Call of Duty: Warzone’s popularity continues to surge, fans have begun to establish a proper competitive meta for the game. Infinity Ward’s latest effort into battle royale for the franchise has proven itself as a truly unique and different battle royale experience, and as players determine what loot is viable and what’s not worth using, there’s one particular feature fans have found to be pretty divisive. Players with enough cash in Call of Duty: Warzone have the ability to purchase any of their custom loadouts among the other usual fare of killstreaks and equipment upgrades....

In RPGs with romance options, there are a few different ways sexual orientations are handled, yet it is often assumed that the player and all of the characters are heterosexual. Some games might include specific characters as the “gay option.” In recent years, however, the trend of “playersexual” romance options has become more common. “Playersexual” means that regardless of the player character’s gender, all romance options are viable. Playersexual romance options allow players to pursue romance with any video game character they want, without having to change the type of character they’d normally play....

Click here to find out the details about how to join us for a free screening of that film, plus the premiere episode of Ash vs. Evil Dead (two days before its Halloween premiere)! Sam Raimi is often described as a master of horror and for good reason....

Everybody loves small details in games, especially the ones players can miss for years after the game’s release. Like in this case with Assassin’s Creed Origins, where a Redditor discovers a little episode, adding more life to the beautifully crafted Ptolemaic Egypt. Assassin’s Creed Origins was the start of the more RPG approach for the series. Odyssey and Valhalla continue this direction, almost completely turning the iconic series into gargantuan mainstream action-RPG rather than more niche stealth-action....

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla was the latest entry in the popular Assassin’s Creed franchise and was one of the first real next-generation gaming experiences available on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. The open-world game has so much content packed onto the world map and exploring it all can be quite daunting. There are some locations, however, everyone should make time to visit. Let’s now take a look at 10 areas in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla that everyone should visit as soon as they possibly can....

Vinland is a new and mysterious land that players will unlock after completing the Lunden arc in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. It might seem boring at first, especially with no armor or weapons to back you up, but there is quite a bit to do in this new land. This place features the same basic features as England and Norway with a twist. The best way to find things to do is to walk around this region and uncover new dots that indicate mysteries or wealth....

Written and directed by George Lucas in May of 1977, Star Wars was released by 20th Century Fox and went on to become a cultural phenomenon. The film masterpiece starred Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. After the first film’s success, audiences called for two sequels, first in 1980 with The Empire Strikes Back and then in 1983 with Return of The Jedi. For years, the world enjoyed the films over and over again and they became household titles in the Sci-Fi world....

Luck often plays a larger part in making a new toy successful than creativity or marketing. What’s hot one day in the toy world can be virtually forgotten a year later. These days, a lot of toys are not even being made for children, but for adults to keep them carefully stored in their original packaging as collectibles. With a narrow window for success, it’s no wonder that there are so many toys on the market languishing in store windows that you glance at and wonder what made the creators come up with something so weird and unnecessary....

Back in the days before “video games movie” became a term nearly synonymous with “box-office bomb”, movie studios were eager to get their hands on the rights to the most popular games of the day, and gaming companies were more than willing to sell. That well dried up pretty quickly after the release of one too many stinkers, but Street Fighter: The Movie was a pioneer. When the decision was made to turn the franchise into a film, only Super Mario Bros had been unlucky enough to be ridiculed by critics and fans alike....

With Dragon Ball Super coming to an end after 131 episodes, five story arcs, and two mini-arcs, it’s time we took a look back on the sequel that came seemingly out of nowhere. Beginning with Battle of Gods in 2013, Dragon Ball’s revival has been an unforgettable journey filled with ups and downs. We’ve suffered through horrible animation, been graced with the most creative video games in the franchise, and welcomed more new merchandise than ever before....

There are plenty of horror games for gamers to play this Halloween, but there are some who just don’t like the horror genre yet still want to celebrate the spooky season. Those gamers may be looking for less-intense games to play on Halloween, and while there aren’t many choices, there are a few games that are definite standouts. Here are three non-horror games for fans to play this Halloween. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture from The Chinese Room is not explicitly a “horror” game....

Halo Wars 2 will be four years old in just over a week. And to commemorate this anniversary, 343 Industries has some… well, bad news for fans of the game. It seems that the developer has no current plans for the game and will be focussing all its effort towards Halo Infinite and The Master Chief Collection. The news was announced via the Halo Waypoint blog, where the developer said, “It’s not always easy to be open and transparent – particularly when we expect it’s not an answer the community wants to hear – but we want to give it to you straight: 343 Industries has no current plans for further Halo Wars 2 work including content updates, balance patches, bringing the title to other platforms, or a new game in the series....

Although the 1980s are deservedly considered to be the most important decade in the history of the gaming industry, with Nintendo’s NES breathing new life into the home-console industry after the Atari 2600 caused it to crash; the 90s saw the gaming industry come on leaps and bounds. The Nintendo 64, PlayStation 1, Ocarina of Time, and Super Mario 64 all released in the 90s, and are among the most important releases in the industry’s history with their bold leap from 2D to 3D....

With Diablo 4 currently in development over at Blizzard, fans of the ARPG looter are itching for the chance to dive into more dungeons and hack their way through monsters all in the pursuit of loot. With no definitive release date yet, fans of the franchise will probably have plenty of time to explore other games before its eventual release. The influence of the Diablo franchise is hard to understate, and many other games in the genre take heavy inspiration from the Blizzard series....

The Dating Sim genre of video games is quite an acquired taste. While there is much to love from these types of games, including their often excellent story-telling and character building, some of the more “unique” games can slip through the cracks. The end result is gaming concepts so ludicrously brilliant and strange that sometimes Steam users purchase them just to answer the question, “How could this game possibly work?” throughout....

Given the large amount of success that Ni No Kuni has had over the years, it isn’t at all surprising to learn that Level-5 President Akihiro Hino has confirmed that another title within the series is on its way. It didn’t take long for Level-5 to become a household name after it released Ni no Kuni: Dominion of the Dark Djinn in December 2010. From the moment reviewers and players alike got their hands on the title, they were greeted with amazing visuals and character interactions that were unlike anything else in the industry at the time....

It’s been over one year since Animal Crossing: New Horizons first launched on Nintendo Switch and since then, dedicated players have impressed the community with some truly wondrous island creations. Customisation features allow your simple island to be transformed into something completely different, and the results are often astonishing. Most recently, a redditor has shared their incredible Animal Crossing island completely inspired by Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away. User IsleofBunny posted a series of screenshots to the Animal Crossing subreddit which each represent iconic locations and moments from the beloved animated classic....

The first season of the behind-the-scenes specialty show showcased store owners scrambling during COVID. Season 2 highlighted the vintage toys. A Toy Store Near You season 3 trots the globe to drop in on stores and lets the owners, employees and sometimes customers explain why this is their favorite vintage toy store. The upcoming season also explores educational and science toys, and brings attention to the local artists who are bringing a new age of collectibles into the community....

The final story achievement for Marvel’s Avengers reveals a major plot element, and partially confirms some fan’s expectations. Spoiler alert for Marvel’s Avengers story content. With the first PlayStation closed beta weekend coming to a close, fans are craving more content for Marvel’s Avengers. Those with access to a fraction of what the game has to offer have been left asking, “What’s next?” The beta provided players with the opportunity to play through the events of A-Day – the game’s opening sequence that has been shown off at various gaming expos over the past year – as well as two early missions featuring Hulk and Kamala Khan who explore A....
