The Division’s Incursion update releases, and brings with it the extremely difficult Falcon Lost Incursion. Check out our guide on beating this mission on challenge difficulty. Getting through The Division’s newest update, Incursions, is a challenge in and of itself. Its own developers have commented that they struggled to make it through Falcon Lost, but gamers who want to push their skills to the limit can go even further by setting the mission to challenge difficulty....

Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us 2 is a game that is mired in secrecy. Players have been trying to avoid gameplay trailers so as not to spoil their experience and the developers have done their best to keep many of the game’s biggest secrets from the public eye. Of course, there has been a major Last of Us leak that revealed some key points of the plot, but there are still those who want to go in as pure as possible....

With so many action scenes throughout The Last of Us 2, there was a lot that went into recording the movements and mannerisms of the characters. One stuntwoman named Amy Johnston, who had done previous motion capture for Naughty Dog as Nadine Ross in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, also worked extensively on this game as several characters and decided to detail some of her experiences working on the recent PS4 game....

If you were to live in the world of Aang and Korra, you would probably wish to be a bender. That is the most entrancing aspect of that world because it does not exist in ours. To be a nonbender in a bending world seems a tragedy, but the creators of the shows handled their nonbending characters with great skill. Sokka in Avatar: The Last Airbender was beloved by fans for his significant comedic timing and those unexpected deep moments that were centered around his own personal journey....

Often ranked as one of the top five best Zelda games ever made, Ocarina Of Time is without a doubt a bonafide classic. It featured an epic story, enchantment, horror, and adventure and changed The Legend Of Zelda for the better. One way how it became such a classic was through its massive and challenging dungeons; dungeons have been a staple of Zelda since the beginning. Some are fun but challenging worlds to explore within themselves while others are confusing and frustrating messes....

Metal Gear guru Hideo Kojima is back with a new installment in his epic series, exclusive to the PSP. A fantastic 10-minute trailer came out in September from the Tokyo Game Show and from what was shown, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker looks great. The graphics are easily on par with PS2 Metal Gear games and the storyline looks just as melodramatic as ever. This installment of the series takes place in the twilight years of the Cold War....

The Mysterious Benedict Society season 2 debuts Oct. 26 on Disney+, and now is the perfect time to catch up. Season 1 arrived in June 2020 but was quickly lost to adults in the shuffle of the new Marvel and Star Wars universe series. Season 2 follows up on season 1’s unique combination of mystery and adventure with a necessary social message. Even though Disney+ is targeting the series for preteens and teens, the show’s writers have made sure that there are plenty of strong concepts, jokes, and references adults can enjoy....

The Mystery of D.B. Cooper is a surprisingly smooth ride. You would think, with all the suspects and twists the story takes, it would run into some heavy turbulence. But director John Dower (Thrilla in Manila, My Scientology Movie) and his crew navigate the story of the only unsolved airplane hijacking in U.S. history artfully. The lax security of the fairly new industry is the reason on Nov. 24, 1971, the night before Thanksgiving, a man identified as Dan Cooper paid twenty bucks to board a Northwest Orient Boeing 727 flight bound for Seattle....

Maybe all good things don’t need to come to an end? We knew that was already the case when the Star Trek: The Next Generation crew continued to appear in four feature films and now will reunite for season three of Star Trek: Picard. But despite reports that the third season of Jean-Luc’s adventures would be his last, producer Alex Kurtzman may have changed his tune. When a member of the Televisision Critics Association asked if there would be more Picard after the third season, Kurtzman responded with a non-commital, “Who knows?...

The U-Wing is a relatively new ship in Star Wars lore, first designed for Rogue One. It is the main ship used Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor in the film, and is known across the Rebel Alliance for its use at the pivotal Battle of Scarif at the end of the movie. It is quite different from any of the other Rebel ships featured in Star Wars: Squadrons. The U-Wing’s main role is to support your team, featuring a resupply droid that seeks allies to help them recover ammo and health....

Befriending the Stardew Valley villager Vincent up to a certain Heart Level can lead to a special cutscene and increased profit output. Here are the best and worst gifts to give Vincent that will influence his relationship with the farmer. Friendships and relationships are one of the biggest draws of Stardew Valley, though they operate a bit differently than in the farming sims it’s inspired by. Rather than being able to give villagers 1 gift every day, they can only receive 2 gifts every week, except for birthday gifts....

Bethesda recently announced that they have decided to delay Starfield and Redfall until the first half of 2023. While that news has disappointed many, it sounds like this decision may help Starfield avoid that dreaded Cyberpunk 2077 situation. In terms of the actual delays, there really isn’t a lot of official information to go on at the moment. Bethesda publically confirmed the delays via Twitter today, and some members of the Starfield and Redfall teams have since commented on the news....

After weeks of claiming that its stores are an “essential” business and have to remain open during the Coronavirus pandemic, GameStop has been ordered to shut down its stores in Massachusetts by state authorities. When the Coronavirus started to gain traction and impacted more of the US population, stores and businesses that weren’t considered essential had no choice but to shut down in order to lessen the risk of exposure. However, Gamestop continued to operate its stores because it believed that it was “essential” and that it needed its stores to remain open to generate business....

Steam has always been known for its extensive library of downloadable games, but the thing that gets the PC gaming community excited more than anything are Steam’s annual sales. Specifically the Steam Summer and Winter Sales. Though, now thanks to a recent leak, the start date of the Steam Summer Sale of 2020 has been revealed. Steam is a digital video game distribution service created by Valve back in the early 2000s....

The 1980s were in many ways peak Stephen King when it came to screen adaptations. For one thing, the man himself was at the height of his popularity. He has of course remained one of the world’s best-selling authors for decades, but his initial string of books that started in the mid-1970s and extended well into the ‘80s—which included classics like Carrie, ‘Salem’s Lot, The Shining, The Stand, and Different Seasons, just to name a handful—made him into a genuine publishing phenomenon like no other....

Recently, Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare fans have seen an upsurge of accounts being hacked and stolen. At first, the hacked accounts were simply gone with fans losing tons of effort, time, and account information in the process. Warzone’s fans now have a chance to regain access to their accounts, but it comes with a rather hefty price. Warzone is one of the biggest games of the year, with its developers seeing massive success in its free to play model....

The long wait for the reveal of the latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters is finally over as Nintendo has announced that Mythra/Pyra will join the game’s astonishing collection of playable fighters. Nintendo’s confirmation of the latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters has prompted the usual reactions from franchise fans everywhere. Of course, that’s really another way of saying that there are legions of fans out there who are still (vocally) wondering why Waluigi, Geno, and Sora aren’t in the game despite years of requests....

Take-Two is being taken to court by a tattoo artist who is claiming copyright for the publisher using her artwork in its WWE 2K video games. Wrestling video games have been a part of the industry for well over two decades. Firm favorites such as No Mercy and the SmackDown series still hold up to this day. Handy as more recent offerings have not gone down nearly as well. Last year’s WWE 2K20, for example, was labeled one of the worst wrestling games of all time by some....

Take-Two Interactive announced today that it will not pursue its planned acquisition of publisher Codemasters. 2K and Rockstar’s parent company originally intended to buy the publisher of the Dirt and Grid games in November for $994 million, but a competing bid from Electronic Arts emerged just weeks later with a value of $1.2 billion. With Take-Two pulling out of the race, the road ahead seems clear for EA and Codemasters to unify under one roof....

Telltale Games has released yet another teaser image for the upcoming Game of Thrones series, which will follow the choice-based storytelling styles of The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. This time, however, the teaser image confirms that the first season of Telltale’s Game of Thrones will feature six episodes, with the first still on schedule to arrive before the new year. This is great news for fans of the show, especially considering Telltale usually only puts out a 5 episode run for each season of their other titles....
