Tfue was once considered one of the best Fortnite players during his heyday, which made his sudden departure from the game’s competitive scene all the more shocking. As a streamer who owes much of his fame to his skill at that game, fans were racking their brains trying to think of why he might have moved on to other games. Finally, Tfue has opened up on this matter, and the answer is actually quite simple....
Ground-type Pokemon are one of the strongest types in the series. Many Ground Pokemon are also dual-types, leading to loads of interesting typing opportunities. Most Ground-type Pokemon also have expansive movesets at their disposal that they can use to pull off some powerful tricks and attacks. But even among the strongest, there is still a pecking order to be found. Here are the 10 mightiest Ground-types, the earth-shakers, the real go-getters, the Pokemon to watch out for....
Bugsnax is a game that was given out for free on PS5, allowing players of the new console to indulge in its fun gameplay.

Supposedly there is an island full of edible creatures that resemble everyday bugs and an ancient civilization that used to live there.

“They’re making an Avatar game! Oh, wait… never mind it’s the other Avatar. Yeah, the blue ones. Damn.” I imagine this was a pretty common reaction to the trailer for the new Avatar game shown off at E3, and the fact that so many people reacted in this way is a reminder of exactly how strange the Avatar movie is. Personally, I thought the movie was decent without being spectacular, and I’ve never seen the Avatar animated series, so I have no real skin in the game....
He’ll be back. Like a particularly nasty pair of puncture marks (or other skin irritants spread by oral infection), the mysterious and most illustrious of vampires can never be hidden away for long. And why should he be? It is he who served the cross, he who commanded nations hundreds of years before you were born! Does anybody really think a mediocre Stephen Sommers or “untold” origin story would be the last we would see of the good Count Dracula on the big screen?...
On February 7th, as part of Super Bowl LV, a new television spot was released to market Marvel Studios’ upcoming series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Although the spot itself only announced that a second trailer for the series had been released, this second trailer offered fans a lot to obsess over. As well as giving extended looks at the return of Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) and the new paramilitary force the ‘Flag-Smashers’, the trailer also revealed the series’ main antagonist for the first time on screen: Captain America: Civil War (2016) baddy, Helmut Zemo (Daniel Brühl)....
This The Flash review contains spoilers. The Flash Season 5 Episode 22 What a mess. Taken completely in isolation, “Legacy” would be an acceptably middle of the road episode of The Flash. As a season finale? It’s almost unacceptable. Rescued only by the anti-heroics of Eobard Thawne in its final half, The Flash season 5 finale is the muddied, logical endpoint of a season that started with tremendous promise, lost its way, and never quite managed to find its way back on track....
Xbox Live Gold is Microsoft’s subscription service that provides Xbox players access to online multiplayer, special offers, and monthly free games. While access to the Xbox console’s online functionality is the primary reason players subscribe to the service, the monthly roster of free Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games is also its biggest selling point. Some players are probably wondering what lies in the future of Xbox Live Gold, especially now that Xbox players are slowly transitioning from the Xbox One to the Xbox Series X....
When it comes to Rockstar Games, in any capacity, attention to detail is generally a significant pillar of world-building and design put into in-game worlds. That much is clear in the satirical adaptation of modern America in Grand Theft Auto, with references to real-life counterparts in all things, realistic or imagined. However, when it comes to the publishers second-biggest franchise, Rockstar Games takes a much more subtle and grounded approach. For as many narrative plot points and characters that are unique to Red Dead Redemption 2, a genuinely large portion of the game’s moments, environments, and characters are based on real events in U....
The PS4 generation is almost at an end and Sony is ready to send it off in style. The first of its two big 2020 games, The Last of Us Part II, will be releasing next Friday, and the embargo on critic reviews lifted earlier this morning. Much like its predecessor, this hotly anticipated sequel is receiving pretty rave reviews across the board. There’s a wider diversity of opinions this time out, though, so every score isn’t simply a 10/10....
The NPD results from the month of June have come out, and The Last of Us Part II reigns on top of the North American sales charts. Perhaps controversy does help games thrive in the marketplace. The Last of Us Part II also reached #3 on the Top 10 Best Sellers list for the year, behind Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the leader of the pack, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare....
This Star Trek: Discovery review contains major spoilers for the end of Season 3. What a ride! The third season of Star Trek: Discovery was easily its most consistent and, dare I say, best yet? From the get-go, the series’ decision to vault its characters into the far future for its third outing proved itself a smart one, as the crew of the Discovery set about exploring this strange, new reality....
During an era when Star Wars properties were few and far between, The Force Unleashed games arrived to shock everyone. Mixing hack-and-slash gameplay with cinematic storytelling, The Force Unleashed became a smash-hit and an instant classic. The sequel was not as well-received. Still, both titles are solid in their own right and rank among some of the better Star Wars games. But which is superior out of the two? Many would perhaps lean towards the original, but the sequel does improve on the first in several areas....
Motive Studios’ space combat game Star Wars: Squadrons released in October 2020, and the title quickly earned a spot as one of the best flight simulators to come out in recent years. Earning predominantly positive reviews from multiple media outlets, Star Wars: Squadrons was even nominated for Best VR/AR Game at The Game Awards 2020. It was a little surprising, then, when Star Wars: Squadrons became playable via Free Play Days for Xbox Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers just three months after release....
“What if Darth Plagueis was a light sleeper?” journalist Charlie Ashby responded on Twitter to the question “What If?” It’s a stunning pitch for an alternate Star Wars timeline, brilliant in its simplicity but with major implications for the galaxy far, far away. Let’s think about Plagueis’ alternate sleeping habits for a second. Were Plagueis a light sleeper, Palpatine probably wouldn’t have been able to murder him in his slumber, which would have likely led to Plagueis killing the future Emperor before he even had a chance to become Supreme Chancellor in The Phantom Menace....
Releasing recently for PC, Microsoft Flight Simulator has been noted by many as one of the largest games in recent memory. Using data from Bing maps to authentically recreate real-life landmarks and airports, the simulator packs a major blow to any player’s hard drive, with the game currently sitting at over a 120 GB download. While this isn’t too much of a frustration seen as the experience Microsoft Flight Simulator offers has been hailed as one of the best you can find on PC this year, it has brought up a very unique issue that’s been a concern for Steam players....
Somewhat surprisingly, mobile gamers — mostly women —dominate the gaming scene, according to a large-scale market research effort held by Newzoo last year. Newzoo apparently spent a year collating gaming market insights and trends in order to settle upon a new system of classification - or segmentation - of the gaming consumer market. This system goes beyond the traditional “casual vs. hardcore gamer” dichotomy, comprising a comprehensive model of nine unique gaming personas....
Since No More Heroes 3 was first shown at E3 during Nintendo’s 2019 Direct feature, there was no doubt that the game was aimed directly at pleasing all the fans who drove the success of the earlier games in the series. When the first game released in 2007, No More Heroes utilized the then-new Wiimote technology to allow players access to unique gameplay. Players take control of protagonist Travis Touchdown and his beam katana in a long series of missions to assassinate other assassins, waving the controller about to vanquish foes....
Super Meat Boy Forever may feel like it’s been in development forever, but that’s quick to come to a conclusion. During The Game Awards 2020, Team Meat shared the latest trailer for Super Meat Boy Forever. The trailer concluded with the game’s newly updated release date, which had previously been a broad window of 2020. Team Meat is delivering on that promise, as Super Meat Boy Forever’s new release date will be December 23, less than two weeks from now....
It’s incredible to see how much video games have been able to evolve as an industry and there have been monumental advancements made in the last generation of gaming alone. New features in games gain popularity, which has allowed different genres to excel and gain larger audiences than ever before. The launch of new intellectual properties this gaming generation has opened a lot of doors and hinted at what’s to come in the future....
