The Anthem demo’s apocalyptic in-game event “The Storm” has begun, at least for some players. BioWare has been hinting that Anthem’s short open demo would wrap up with something special for several days now, though it has kept details about the event secret. The answer appears to be The Storm, an example of a dynamic open world in Anthem. As of right now, The Storm is mostly just a very large and glowing weather effect....
Anthem is $8.99 on the EA Origin store right now, an 85% discount that pretty accurately reflects the current interest in the game. More than a year after release, Anthem has completely failed to capture any kind of audience, nor has it delivered on any of the (now canceled) content releases on its original road map. Many may be under the impression that Bioware has moved on from the game and EA has decided to cut its losses....
Apex Legends design director Jason McCord recently confirmed four more seasons of content are in development for the battle royale. A dataminer and YouTuber known as iLootGames has found information in Apex Legends’ files suggesting one of the upcoming additions will be the “Tick” autonomous explosive from Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall 2. Ticks being implemented would not be farfetched. Not only do they sort of appear already as benign items called Loot Ticks in Apex Legends, but the game’s General Manager Dusty Welch has also previously teased that more items from Titanfall will be coming to Apex in season 5....
Following weeks of legal drama revolving around Fortnite’s payment system, Apple has filed a counter-lawsuit against Epic Games. The developer sued Apple in August after the tech giant removed Fortnite from its App Store. Apple and Epic Games have been embroiled in an ongoing legal battle since August. The fight began when Epic Games attempted to bypass Apple’s cut of in-app purchases by introducing a new way for players to purchase V-Bucks, Fornite’s in-game currency....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is fun. There’s plenty to do like finding old artifacts, fighting wolves, or romancing fellow Vikings. But the developers and publisher Ubisoft gifted gamers with yet another feature. They endowed players with something else to do in the newest 1.1.2 “River Raids” update – that being the titular river raids. While out on the new raids in the fairly empty new areas, it’s possible to find books of knowledge containing one of three new abilities to use....
By this point, the Assassin’s Creed series is one of the biggest in gaming history. But no franchise begins as a juggernaut; it takes at least one game to kick everything off. In Assassin’s Creed’s case, the first installment came out in 2007 and was met with a fairly positive reaction. While nobody saw it as a perfect game, most players were happy with it. That was over ten years ago now....
Ever since the first Assassin’s Creed game in 2007, the franchise has been one of Ubisoft’s crown jewels, producing twenty-two games under its belt. Luckily for Assassin’s Creed fans, the Xbox Store is currently offering massive discounts of up to 70%. Headlining the Xbox Store’s Assassin’s Creed franchise sale is Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which is the latest installment in the franchise released for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. Currently, players can pick up Assassin’s Creed Valhalla for $35....
This interview contains spoilers through1923 episode 4. Occasionally, the joy of watching your favorite television show or a new film is discovering an actor for the first time – enjoying their work so thoroughly that you bookmark their name or face in your mind. When you discover that other fans also enjoy that particular actor, it’s almost like being the cool kid on the playground for a split-second. You have the knowledge that you discovered this person first, regardless of the fact you’re only watching them on a television screen....
Pokémon is the famous series that many of us have grown up watching with joy and admiration. Not just kids, but adults; parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles are all aware of what Pokémon is, even though, they probably call it “Pokéman.” Mispronunciation aside, the point is that most modern-day people know about it. It’s even made a comeback in the new generation of kids. Unfortunately, this article is about to ruin a few childhoods....
We just want to get this out of the way first – Final Fantasy VII is (and will forever be) one of the best games ever made. The imagination, the vision, and the sheer aura that it exudes is simply something that can’t be replicated in video gaming–an authenticity that runs through every facet of its makeup. With a dollop of fantasy, a smidgen of love, and a pinch of horror, the seventh installment in the iconic RPG series is one of those titles that captivates the player from the first epic moment to the last....
It kind of feels like the Grand Theft Auto games have been around forever! The first one came out in 1997 but I think most people’s first GTA game was GTA III in 2001. After that game came out, games basically changed. It wasn’t until Vice City came out that the games started being known for characters and storytelling. I would argue that GTA IV was the first game in the series that I really cared about characters, but that’s me....
We all love Overwatch; it’s been one of the most entertaining first-person shooters out there and certainly one of the bigger successes Blizzard has made in a while. The characters are all fabulous, colorful and deep people that fans can relate to and care about. This is more than just a point and shoot kind of game. It’s one where the story is important, despite having no campaign in the game, and tells you something you can really invest in....
If there are two things I love in life, it’s amusement parks and Nintendo. We will actually see a mashup of these two ideas in the near future. Universal Studios has paired up with Nintendo to bring three distinct Nintendo themed parks around the globe (Japan, California, and Florida) by the mid-2020s and I can’t be more excited. Nintendo has always been a company that has tried to push the boundaries of gaming, one might call them innovative....
We just got our first look at Halo: Reach for the PC, and it is coming along quite nicely. Last week, 343 Industries provided us with an update on how The Master Chief Collection is coming along. Announced last March to be coming for PC via Steam, the first game to arrive as part of the Collection would be Halo: Reach, chronologically the first Halo game in the series. It’s also the first to be given the Master Chief treatment to be completely remade for PC in beautiful 4K....
In the day and age of modern technology, video game press can easily reach all corners of the internet. Unfortunately, some of these talked up games don’t always live up to their circulating rumors. Some titles deliver even more horrific scares than players initially expected, while others can leave much to be desired. While not being objectively bad all around, some of these games just aren’t the bone-chilling experiences the hype made them out to be....
Fighting games have started a trend of implementing guest characters into their roster. Super Smash Bros., for example, was based on that very premise and has continued to excel throughout the years as a result. Meanwhile, other fighting game titles like Mortal Kombat have begun introducing guest characters such as horror movie icons Jason Vorhees and Predator. There doesn’t appear to be any end to this trend either, as Microsoft has announced that Rash from Battletoads will be joining the roster of Killer Instinct....
Death Stranding was one of the most polarizing games of 2019. While some critics lauded it as one of the generation’s best, others detested it. Some players claimed it was their game of the year, whereas others labeled it as a total waste of money. Fortunately, we finally have the definitive review of Death Stranding - the 7-year-old review. The review was originally shared on Reddit and comes from the poster’s nephew....
The survival game Don’t Starve has been massively popular since its release back in 2013, with the multiplayer component Don’t Starve Together joining steam early access a year later. The fact the game is available on numerous platforms has greatly helped in its success. Don’t Starve has its quirks and interesting secrets which are a huge part of the charm of the game. While Don’t Starve takes place in a dark and surreal world known as the Constant, some things still don’t make sense or add up, even in a parallel world....
Playing Minecraft alone is one thing, but sharing the experience with friends is always a million times better. That’s why so many players opt to join servers or other communities where they can share their passion for building, survival, or custom games that pit competitive individuals against each other, such as bed wars. With how open Mojang is with its game, it’s a real treat to know that players can also fully create their very own server....
