Star Wars: Squadrons finally released on PS4 and Xbox One last week, letting players step into the cockpit of several iconic starfighters and take part in frantic first-person space battles. The single-player campaign does a pretty good job of showing you the basics in terms of flying and dogfighting, but for players wanting to do much more than simply bullseye womp rats from their T-16, there are plenty of other important tips and tricks worth knowing to dominate in the galaxy far, far away....

Update 1.5 of Stardew Valley added a lot of new content and changes to the game and its intriguing world: Ginger Island and its many secrets, Qi Challenges, the Special Order Board, and even a new beach farm map for players to catch the waves. There are, however, new items and secrets that aren’t as well-known about, ones never mentioned in-game until you stumble upon them and realize the game has surprised you yet again....

The first State of Decay game was rough around the edges, but managed to attract a loyal following nevertheless. It’s clear that the concept had a lot of unrealized potential, which Undead Labs could fulfill with a sequel. Well, after originally being announced way back at Microsoft’s E3 2016 presentation, State of Decay 2 is finally available, but is it the upgrade fans were expecting? State of Decay 2 is definitely a step forward from the first game in terms of content, but overall, it feels like more of the same....

Steam may finally be arriving in China next week. As first noted by SteamDB founder Pavel Djundik, both the Chinese Dota 2 and CS:GO websites have been updated to notify players that February 9 will be the start date of a “Steam Platform test.” Both Dota 2 and CS:GO currently have their own dedicated launchers for Chinese users. However, starting on February 9, that launcher will no longer allow users to play their respective games and instead will direct Chinese players to download Steam....

If Arrow star Stephen Amell needed any help bringing Jack Spade, the lead character and baddie of the DWL in Starz’s Heels, to life, he had a co-star nearby that could ensure he was authentically portraying a professional wrestler. Phil Brooks, better known as CM Punk to wrestling fans, is set to appear in Heels as Ricky Rabies, a motor-mouthed heel who goes toe-to-toe with Spade and others in the DWL....

A recent Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town trailer shows off some new features, including clothing and furniture crafting, playing with pets, mini-games, and more. This might be the final gameplay trailer for the upcoming Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, which is due to release in the west next month. But while most farming simulators tend to be the same, tasking the player with tending to crops, raising livestock, and marrying a villager, it looks like Story of Seasons will be adding a number of innovative activities to its upcoming title to keep it interesting....

Lore is important in most RPGs, and the action-RPG series Destiny is no exception. However, the first game was criticized for hiding much of its lore behind Grimoire Cards and such, prompting members of the community to collect all of Destiny’s relevant lore in one convenient location called the Ishtar Collective. The Ishtar Collective is a great way to learn more about Destiny’s lore, though it appears an English student has copied it for their English homework....

When gamers think of enemies that you wouldn’t want to confront in the real world, their minds usually wander to the Resident Evil series or something from Dead Space. Rarely does the kid-friendly enemies of the Super Mario franchise pop into the heads of fans. With cute turtles, squishy goombas, and shy guys, who could actually be scared of enemies from this franchise? The truth is that some of the enemies of the Mario franchise would actually be a nightmare if players met them face-to-face....

The next event in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate involves lots of animal Spirits, as it pits players against enemies with big ears. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been hosting regular online events since launch and some of them have had bizarre concepts. The most recent event involved gun-toting Spirits, which makes sense, considering how many characters in the game use firearms, but there have also been hair-themed tournaments and events involving blue characters....

Take-Two Interactive, whose franchises include BioShock, Borderlands, Grand Theft Auto, NBA 2K, and Red Dead, have pulled their $980 million bid to purchase Codemasters, a British game developer and publisher based in the UK. A month ago, the NY-based company was outbid by EA, which offered $1.2 billion to purchase Codemasters. According to VGC, Codemasters failed to hold a shareholder meeting before January 12, 2021, which enabled Take-Two to withdraw their bid....

Every great story has to start somewhere, for many adventurers this will be sat around a table in a tavern, drinking some ale of dubious origin while recanting exploits and tales of great valor. It’s then that a mysterious stranger joins, with a round of drinks, and hands over a map, a small coin purse, and exclaims that, “Heroes such as yourselves, would fare well under his employment!” As the Dungeon Master, your job is to set up the perfect start to the session, whether it is a single, one-off adventure or a multi-part campaign that has been running for several years....

Chinese company Tencent, most known for investing in developers behind games like League of Legends and Valorant, has also been on Pokemon fans’ radars this year. Ever since a surprise “Pokemon Presents” announcement near the end of June 2020, Pokemon Trainers have been aware of an upcoming “League of Legends-style” Pokemon game, helmed by Tencent, and dubbed Pokemon Unite. In a recent development, sharp-eyed gamers noticed a particularly unique Chinese-language hiring notice posted by Tencent, most likely related to either its upcoming Pokemon Unite title, or a new Pokemon game altogether....

Prey, Dishonored, Deathloop, Redfall. The past and present of Arkane Studios’ games have delivered much and promise even more for the future. This list takes a look at the ten highest-rated Arkane games based on Metacritic reviews. Considering they’re a studio of game releases few and far between, it’s fair to say this a comprehensive list of just about every Arkane game, including Arx Fatalis, the game that started it all, and the Dishonored prototype, Dark Messiah Of Might And Magic....

Beat ‘em ups were once one of the most popular genres of video games. If you could go back in time and visit an arcade you would instantly notice the games with the largest crowd around them were beat ‘em ups. Beat ‘em ups were designed to coax as many quarters out of gamers as possible. One of the ways they accomplished this was by being very difficult, but another was by also being extremely fun....

There are cool weapons invented within a game and the Insect Blade, or the Insect Glaive, from Monster Hunter: World is no exception. Not only is the Insect Glaive a sword-and-spear-like weapon, it has a Kinsect, which allows you to control an insect that harvests extracts from monsters. The Kinsect allows you to boost your abilities, and the Insect Glaive gives you the ability to even vault. In other words, aerial abilities are definitely guaranteed....

The following contains The 100 spoilers. Heading into the final season of The 100, most fans didn’t really know what to expect. After a penultimate season that catapulted the characters we knew over a century into the future, deposited them on an unknown planet and introduced literal bodysnatchers pretending to be gods, pretty much anything seemed possible. For the most part, Season 7 has swung for the fences, establishing new and complex sci-fi concepts involving teleportation stones, time dilation, and a planet inhabited by another, completely different human civilization....

Just a few days from its release in October, a new launch trailer for The Dark Pictures: Little Hope shows fans what to expect from the latest entry in The Dark Pictures Anthology. The second entry in development from Supermassive Games, The Dark Pictures: Little Hope has players taking the role of several college students and their professor who all get stranded after their bus crashes in the town of Little Hope, which has a history of witch hunting....

With The Evil Within 2’s launch just around the corner, it’s not too much of a surprise to learn that the game’s trophy list has leaked prior to the official release. Although the trophies don’t reveal too much about the game’s plot, the subtle references to the story or characters involved in it might still spoil the experience slightly for the more dedicated of fans so we’d advise gamers to proceed at their own risk....
