Online multiplayer games are a lot of fun for players of all ages. It’s exciting to have people from different places around the world come together and play a game. It’s even more fun in team-based games as people from random points in the Earth are now fighting together for the same goal. These team-based online multiplayer games are among the most played out there. This is helped by people inviting their friends to play along with them....

Games like Eve Online have been around for so long that they’ve taken on a life of their own. Wars have been fought, plagues battled, and thousands of dollars spent. All of it completely worthwhile to those who participate in, and build, the lore of the game. Eve Online’s lore got a significant addition last week, as the biggest PvP battle in gaming history took place on the game’s servers....

According to multiple posts on community sites, the PC version of The Division is easily hacked allowing players to utilize methods of cheating including infinite ammo and health. Since the closed beta period began last Thursday on Xbox One, The Division has proven to be wildly popular with players as the demand for access has far exceeded what Ubisoft was anticipating. Though the company has already revealed a massive list of fixed bugs and glitches prior to the beta starting, PC players have begun seeing some users utilize methods of cheating to give themselves an unfair advantage over others....

The Elder Scrolls 6 has an enormous legacy to live up to. Skyrim was hugely critically and commercially successful, selling over 20 million copies between 2011 and 2014. Despite this, it is not a game without its problems. For The Elder Scrolls 6 to succeed, it will need to solve some of Skyrim’s biggest issues in order to step out from its shadow and provide a truly next-gen-feeling RPG story. There’s one element in particular which the next game will need to improve upon to give players an exciting and fresh Elder Scrolls experience....

My grandmother was a horror novel aficionado. She loved scary stories. She welcomed Stephen King and complained about Dean Koontz. She could explain where the movie The Exorcist veered away from the book and avoided 72nd Street after Rosemary’s Baby went from pulp to celluloid. There was one movie and one book that scared her. The film was London After Midnight, the silent thriller starring Lon Chaney that is now sadly lost and only reimagined through stills that have survived....

As most PlayStation fans are sitting around twiddling their thumbs waiting for the much anticipated and rumored PS4 announcement at Sony’s “See The Future Event” this Wednesday, the official PlayStation YouTube channel has been teasing fans and building hype with history lessons of the previous and current PlayStation consoles.

There were fears that the upcoming Digimon strategy game, Digimon Survive, was facing yet another delay following an announcement from Famitsu. But developers Bandai Namco have confirmed that the game is still on track for 2020. The concern came about when the latest Weekly Famitsu issue claimed Digimon Survive’s launch window is TBA, with previous issues having announced it for this year. Fans naturally feared that the release would be pushed back again, having experienced the same in 2019....

Dragon Ball Xenoverse took a step forward that very few Dragon Ball games have taken in the past, allowing players to create a custom Dragon Ball character. This had been done once before in Dragon Ball Online, but never in a title as mainstream as Xenoverse. While this was a huge factor in why many were so excited about this title, it may be time for Dragon Ball to take things one step further, abandoning the stories of Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and the other Z Warriors in favor of something completely new....

Star Citizen has become famous for the sheer scale of developer Cloud Imperium Games’ ambitions (plus the hundreds of millions it’s made in crowdfunding), and infamous for the years of feature creep and inconsistent dev communication that have left many players wondering if the space sim MMO will ever be fully released. It remains to be seen if Star Citizen is more than a pipe dream, but players have plenty of new content to dive into while they wait....

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 9. Although a casual fan doesn’t need to know the ins-and-outs of Star Trek canon to get into Star Trek: Discovery, it certainly helps! Although all of Discovery Season 3 has been set in a “new” part of the Trek timeline, the 32nd Century to be exact, the series hasn’t entirely been freed of canon restraints. From Trill, to Starfleet history, and beyond, Discovery Season 3 has been a rollercoaster of connections to the entire sprawling canon of Trek....

Pokemon GO has over 500 million players around the world and it seems that internationally known movie stars are among that figure. The cast and crew of Star Wars: The Last Jedi are reportedly big fans of the game, so much so that it led to an epic Pokemon GO prank last summer. In new interviews, John Boyega (who plays Finn) and Kelly Marie Tran (who plays Rose Tico) explain how they teamed up to prank Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson....

Developer Respawn Entertainment has been granted extra time to make sure Star Wars Jedi: Survivor hits its high “quality bar”. The long-awaited game has therefore been delayed to late April from its original mid-March release date. The official EA Star Wars Twitter account posted that the new date for release will be 28 April, revealing that the game itself is “content complete” but that “bug fixes” and “polish” are still needed to enhance “the player experience”....

Star Wars fans are facing a tidal wave of new content in the next few years, from books to comics to streaming Disney+ shows. More than this, Disney has reshuffled the timelines twice in the last six months to better organize the layout of their imminent stories. The most recent demarcates the launch of the High Republic multimedia project. To better make sense of the new canopy, here is a guide to what happened in each era....

One of Stardew Valley’s core mechanics is building relationships with NPCs. From romantic connections to neighborly bonds, the player can grow close to almost everyone in town and go from being an outsider to a real member of the community. The easiest way to win villagers’ hearts is through generosity. Giving gifts, running errands posted on the bulletin board, and simply talking to people will raise their affection. Some of Pelican Town’s villagers, once befriended, are just as generous towards the player....

It’s not every day players get a new sci-fi RPG, but quite a few are now on the horizon, two of which are Bethesda’s Starfield and BioWare’s Mass Effect 4, Both of these games have huge expectations behind them, because of the pedigree of the developers in Starfield’s case and because of the history of the franchise in the case of Mass Effect 4. Starfield, a day one title on Xbox Game Pass, was announced well before Mass Effect 4, and the fact that Mass Effect 4 is on the horizon means that Starfield is going to have some competition that wasn’t on the board, initially....

The Steamworld series has always had a rather light narrative that kind of hangs out in the background of the games. Steamworld Quest is the first game in the series to have a story that’s a bit more than arbitrary filler. It tells a tale that attempts to remind us of the Super Nintendo RPGs from our childhood. If you love the Steamworld series, but simply don’t the time to sit down with the card battling, robot RPG, then sit back, and let us tell you the tale of Steamworld Quest....

Cats are dominating the news nowadays. They’re either being poorly represented in movie trailers, being thrown over chairs by streamers and, in this case, throwing a streamer offline with untimely barf. One can probably tell when their cat is about to spew some steamy vomit, but poor Joe - who goes by the name JadedBlue on Twitch - was not fast enough to save his system and his stream when his cat showed up and simply puked into his computer....
