Everyone has to start somewhere, and this includes playing video games. You may be experienced elsewhere, or you may be a new gamer. Either way, when you begin playing a brand new multiplayer game, it can be a little tricky to find your feet. Apex Legends is a brilliant game, but it can be overwhelming when you first start to play it. When you start Apex Legends, there are six base legends that you get for free....
We may not be getting Breath of the Wild 2 this year, but Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm might be an alternative for Zelda fans when it releases in the fall for the Nintendo Switch. This Switch release is a port of the Apple Arcade version from earlier in the summer, and it seems like an impressive mobile title based on reviews by both critics and players alike. The developer Cornfox & Brothers touts that it has over 20 hours of gameplay, side quests, and “massive” boss battles on its App Store page....

Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead universe is expanding, and not in all the ways you expect. The first movie, which involved time loops, robots, aliens, and even copulating zombies, unsurprisingly left viewers with lots of questions, but don’t expect this universe’s sophomore outing to deliver any of the answers you’re looking for. Instead, Army of Thieves is a prequel that largely ignores the zombie-infested hell of Las Vegas, and it’s all the better for it....
[UPDATE: It appears the screenshots are fake, as evidenced by the use of free assets from the Unity game development engine.] The Assassin’s Creed franchise may be taking a break in 2019, but that won’t stop leakers from keeping fans informed about the rumored Viking-themed Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok project. A new major leak has been dropped featuring seven screenshots from what looks to be pre-alpha gameplay, as well as new details about Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok’s ongoing development....
In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, players can choose between one of three main types of playstyles, and even mix and match them to a degree. For stealthy characters, the skills and items associated with the Raven tree work best. Those wanting to focus on ranged combat will upgrade things along the Wolf path, while the path of the Bear emphasizes close ranged combat. The different types of bows in Valhalla also emphasize these playstyles, with light bows being best in melee, hunter bows being balanced all around, and the predator bows raining down death from afar....
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla follows the Nordic Viking settlement of England from the perspective of a Nord. Popular manga Vinland Saga, meanwhile, follows early explorer Thorfinn as he seeks revenge for his father’s death and bears witness to King Cnut’s rise to power in the same region. With both things trading in the same setting and time period, then, a crossover would only make sense. What’s that? Valhalla’s set in 873 AD, while Vinland’s in 1003 AD?...
My favorite part of a console’s launch is seeing the weird accessories third parties bust out to make a quick buck. Obvious stuff like console stands, controller grips, and screen protectors if the system is a portable. Then there are the items that no one asked for. The ideas seemingly dreamed up from some executive’s powder addled brain. You know what would be good? A neck brace people can wear to play their Nintendo Switch’s on....
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has affected the scheduling and planning of esports events worldwide. This time, it affects the LCS and LEC. The League of Legends European and North American tournament run won’t be canceled, but will receive changes in terms of venue and activity scheduling. The LEC will be changing venues from Budapest to Berlin, and the both the LEC and LCS will receive heavy monitoring and extra safety measures. Despite the current health crisis, the LCS will continue as planned....
Nintendo might just be the most impactful video game company of all time. It made home console gaming a thing after the industry almost crashed in the ’80s. Nintendo characters like Mario and Pikachu are more recognizable to children than one-time titans like Mickey Mouse. And the Switch seems to be exciting both gamers and developers in a way that hasn’t been seen in a long time. A time like, oh I don’t know, the 1990s when the Nintendo 64 reigned supreme....
One of the oldest debates in nerd culture is Star Trek vs. Star Wars. Both are huge franchises with tons of ancillary material and deep lore. The most clear form this age-old debate has taken is comparing the two franchises’ most iconic spaceships. The Starship Enterprise and the Millennium Falcon. From the outset, this doesn’t really seem like much of a contest. After all, the Enterprise is a state of the art military research vessel and the Falcon is a hunk of junk that barely holds together while flying....
As the game draws closer to release, 343 Industries has committed to spending time every month talking about Halo Infinite and what separates it from previous iterations of the iconic sci-fi shooter franchise. The first of these updates launched yesterday, with 343 Industries’ Community Director Brian “ske7ch” Jarrard posting a lengthy article titled “Inside Infinite” over on the Halo Waypoint website. The update covers several aspects surrounding the combat in Halo Infinite, focusing almost entirely on the game’s Sandbox Team, which works on its vehicles, weapons, equipment, and mechanics....
As much as fans love getting lost in a carefree world for a while, the real stories that leave an impression on the mind are the ones with a twist, making players think they’re on one path and pulling the curtain back to reveal the grizzly underbelly. It makes them stand out among the crowd and forces fans to rethink their entire position on the game. The twist can go one of two ways; players are left in awe of the creator’s ability to weave a compelling narrative or drag the rest of the game into horrible muck....
Rock Band 4 hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. We know that, we’re not delusional. That said, the random resurrection of Rock Band 3 DLC packs has reminded us just how much we loved Rock Band while the franchise was at its best. Harmonix hasn’t been shy about dropping hints that a current-gen sequel is right around the corner and hopeful fans are already crossing their fingers for an announcement at this year’s PAX East or E3....
There has been another Pokémon Gold & Silver demo leak and it’s hot on the heels of the Space World ‘99 leak. The new leak is based on an earlier version of the game that predates the build that leaked in 2018, with even more unused Pokémon designs that have never been seen before now. In 2018, a demo of Pokémon Gold & Silver that was shown at Space World ‘97 leaked online, which featured a number of unused Pokémon designs that had never been seen before....

Controversial Twitch streamer Alinity lashed out at recent criticism aimed her way, claiming she is receiving favoritism from the site but is quick to call them “totally ridiculous” during a broadcast. Natalia Mogollon, better known by her Twitch username Alinity, has once again found herself in the hot seat of Twitch drama.

A number of concerned individuals filed official animal cruelty complaints against Alinity, prompting the Saskatoon Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to launch an investigation into the matter....
