For those who can actually keep Cyberpunk 2077 up and running, there’s a lot to explore and do in Night City. Is it everything that was originally promised? Not at all. Is it a flawless experience? Nope! In fact, with every hotfix, more bugs start popping up. But, regardless of the gameplay, CD Projekt has always been fantastic with their character writing and dialog, and that hasn’t changed with Cyberpunk....

Halloween and Christmas are objectively the two best American holidays. One allows for us all to indulge in our gothic, spooky side, while the other comes along with family and cheer (forced or otherwise). There’s another holiday between them, however, that is at constant risk of being overlooked. Thanksgiving doesn’t have candy like Halloween or presents like Christmas. What it does have, thankfully, is television. Just like its Halloween counterpart, Thanksgiving comes along in the fall at an important time in the TV schedule....

Diablo 3 hasn’t exactly earned the same reception as its predecessors. Online-only DRM, new purchase restrictions, lack of end-game content, exploits, a controversial real-money auction house and missing features like PVP after more than a decade of development threw a few dents in what otherwise was a successful PC release for Blizzard, both in terms of sales and critical reception. David Brevik, one of the founders of Blizzard North and a key part of the development of Diablo and Diablo 2, is currently working with Gazillion Entertainment on their similarly-styled action RPG Marvel Heroes and recently offered his thoughts on the release and response to Diablo 3, a response that certainly didn’t go unnoticed....

In a recent update on the Xbox One store page, players discover that Tom Clancy’s The Division requires 32 GB of hard drive space, which isn’t much bigger than the beta size. After multiple delays, The Division is finally slated for release in just a few short weeks. Since the closed beta ended a couple of weeks ago, many fans have been curious as to just how much of the world players had access to compared to how much was held back like the previously teased borough of Brooklyn....

It’s no secret that The Division’s end-game is seriously flawed, but one writer thinks Ubisoft Massive can fix this problem by taking a few lessons from Diablo 3. Loot-based games are a tricky thing to balance properly. Not only do the developers need to get the drop rates just right, players also have to have reasons to grind for rare loot beyond just collecting things for the sake of collecting things....

Players need not rely on weapons and armor alone to fortify their skills in The Elder Scrolls. Jewelry items, in the form of enchanted rings and amulets, can make a big difference both on and off the battlefield. The sheer number of these artifacts is mind-boggling. Nobody’s pockets are that deep to acquire them all. Buried amongst the thousands of mundane pieces of jewelry are a rare few that truly stand out....

Ever since Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls 6 back at E3 2018, people have been wondering exactly when will the game be released. Bethesda has stated it expects the game to release on next-generation consoles, which means that it’s some time away. However, the launch of next-gen consoles may not be the only factor affecting the game’s release date. According to a new investigation, Bethesda parent company ZeniMax Media is involved in a trademark dispute over the term “Redfall,” which is widely thought to be the subtitle of The Elder Scrolls 6....

Not much news has been released about The Elder Scrolls 6 since the game’s teaser trailer was released by Bethesda back in 2018. However, earlier this year, Todd Howard revealed an interesting detail about the way the game’s world would be created that could have big implications for other aspects of the game. Howard revealed the potentially huge scale of The Elder Scrolls 6’s map and the method through which this could be achieved by the studio....

While the video game industry has never seen as many role-playing experiences and free-to-play MMOs as it currently enjoys, there’s no denying that The Elder Scrolls is still among the most respected and polished - a fact proven by the release of Skyrim. That unwavering momentum is what Zenimax Online Studios hopes to capitalize on with The Elder Scrolls Online, their MMO set within the fiction of the franchise. Our hands-on experience with TESO convinced us that it’s still too early to tell if the game will merely succeed in adapting the franchise to the MMO sphere, or offer something genuinely new....

Nearly a month on from its release and The Last of Us Part 2 continues to be all anyone is talking about. The game launched to hugely positive reviews from critics but received mixed reactions from players. Creative director of The Last of Us 2, Neil Druckmann, has been in the middle of a lot of criticisms made about the game but still made sure to send a positive message to his team at Naughty Dog after launch....

Those five words ring loud and true even with their chilling coldness. Despite the many leaks amassing in droves across the internet, The Last of Us: Part II and its newest story trailer successfully enraptured its truest fans. Though riddled with scenes and imagery already teased, the trailer offers some examples of new mechanics and characters from the forthcoming sequel. “I have to finish it.” Old and New Faces Shown at the climax of the State of Play trailer, effectively pile-driving the force and emotion Part II will only expound upon, Troy Baker’s gruff voice echoes before gracing the screen with the now-aged expression of his character....

Many people have fond childhood memories of playing the early Legend of Zelda games, and later installments’ popularity proves that the series hasn’t aged a bit. Link and Zelda are, after all, two of Nintendo’s most iconic protagonists. Link’s pointed ears and green outfit are nothing short of iconic, and so is the bond he shares with the series’ titular character, Zelda. It seems pretty straightforward at first glance: she’s a princess, he’s a hero, bound to protect and serve her....

The Medium is a game that a lot of horror fans have been looking forward to for quite some time now. With dynamic camera perspectives, next-gen graphics and visual polish, and the promise of a return to a more Silent Hill-esque horror experience, The Medium seemingly has a lot to offer players. Although, some players have begun to notice a rather curious quality the game possesses that has nothing to do with its horror elements....

The Xbox Showcase event drastically switched from lighthearted trailers to a dark, unsettling trailer for the upcoming game from Bloober Team, The Medium. Backed by a “dual soundtrack” by Arkadiusz Reikowski and legendary Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka, The Medium features the psychological terror of being trapped between two worlds. The trailer starts off with memories of a pregnant woman who appears to lose her child before birth. The woman is haunted by visions of a spirit world and cannot control which world decided to manifest and cause horror....

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away – wait, sorry, nope, wrong franchise. Let’s start again. Long, long ago in an era called ‘the late 80s’, Wesley Snipes was almost cast as Geordi La Forge, the helmsman of the USS Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation who would go on to become its chief engineer. After the audition process for the Next Generation character wrapped, Snipes would end up losing the part of Geordi to Roots actor LeVar Burton, which he has now admitted he was pretty disappointed about....

From his adventures in The Clone Wars to his classic role in A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi is Star Wars‘ quintessential Jedi mentor.

When a remaster of Star Wars Episode 1: Racer was revealed to be in the works, fans were understandably excited. The 1999 pod racing game has long been a fan favorite among Star Wars fanatics, so the remaster seems like a perfect choice. Now the game has an official release date, and will be coming to both Nintendo Switch and PS4 on May 12th.
