A patch meant to address a number of issues in 2005’s Star Wars Battlefront 2 (Classic) has been pulled after numerous issues. As soon as the patch went live, loyal stormtroopers and rebels on both Steam and GOG began reporting a number of game-breaking bugs. These issues included the game freezing while loading in, as well as resolution issues that left the screen black when a match started. This is the first patch for the 16-year-old Star Wars Battlefront 2 (Classic) in three years, and it was only a few hours before it was pulled and the game returned to its former glory....

During the 2022 Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, Bethesda’s Todd Howard finally revealed a substantial amount of new Starfield gameplay footage. We still don’t know the game’s new release date (it’s coming to Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Game Pass in 2023), but our first real look at Starfield‘s gameplay at least answered a lot of questions about what kind of game it really is. While such a reveal likely would have torn the house down in front of a live E3 crowd, the fans watching the first Starfield gameplay footage via Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook at home had a more…mixed initial reaction....

The Summer Games Done Quick 2017 speedrunning marathon has ended after a full week of playing games, bringing in a record $1.76 million in donations for the event.

In what might be one of the craziest stories to come along in quite some time, Candy Crush Saga developer King has been granted a trademark for the word “candy” as it pertains to video games, software, and a few other products. They have done so in order to give themselves the legal means with which to stop copycats from profiting off the Candy Crush name — a noble cause, at first glance....

Marvel’s Avengers has already taken the world by storm as players are having a blast playing as different superheroes in an action-packed RPG brawler. Upgrades are a crucial part of the game as it helps the player tailor their experience. The best example of this is through evolving the skillsets of each individual hero. Players can unlock skills for each hero based on that character’s Hero Level. There are three categories that each have four skill trees to branch out in....

To the casual gamer, Japanese RPGs are usually synonymous with Pokemon or Final Fantasy. But the genre offers up much more than ball-dwelling monsters, and blonde spiky-haired swordsmen. With Final Fantasy XV set to rejuvenate everyone’s interest in JRPGs on September 30, gamers will have a few months to brush up on their JRPG chops before Noctis and his entourage take over. That’s where we come in. From the classic SNES era to the recent gaming generations, here are what we consider to be 10 of the greatest JRPG’s ever created....

As the world is slowly transitioning towards the brand-new PlayStation 5, it doesn’t mean PlayStation 4 will simply be forgotten into the dust. Especially in its last year as Sony’s main system, the console had the pleasure of many great exclusive releases, such as The Last Of Us Part II, and will therefore always remain iconic. That being said, 2020 wasn’t all dancing on roses for PlayStation 4 releases. Some of the games really did end up scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to ratings, and their quality often speaks for them....

Many Pokemon designs are inspired by real-life animals and objects, and dog lovers everywhere should rejoice at how many of them resemble man’s best friend. Each generation typically introduces a new canine or two to the National Pokedex and finds interesting ways for them to represent types like fire, dark, and even ghost. There are so many dog Pokemon, you could easily form your entire team around them. Each one has its own style, personality, and design that helps them stand out from each other....

A New Year has come and the last of the holiday decorations have been stored away. Yet even if we have turned the page to what is hopefully a bright, shiny new 2018, the fact remains that if you live anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon line, things are hardly warming up. In fact, winter is just entering its deepest and scariest throes with a chill that risks spreading to your soul, and there’s nary a Christmas light in sight for comfort....

The next-generation arrived with a bang, with both PS5 and Xbox Series X reporting massive sales on the consoles. Of course, between the high demand for these consoles and the various online scalpers, getting hands on them is quite difficult. Even for Black Friday, the biggest consumer holiday in the United States, next-gen gaming isn’t quite simple to jump into. Nonetheless, while getting a new Xbox Series X remains a struggle, there’s plenty of deals to take advantage of....

To celebrate the announcement, a new trailer was posted to give new console players a glimpse of what they’re in for come June 19th....

Just over a week ago, the Division 2 and Resident Evil crossover event was announced with teases of weapons, items, skins, and more to be unveiled. The only thing known at the time was that Leon Kennedy’s RPD uniform would be arriving for any who logged in, but now, more has spilled with Ubisoft’s trailer. Raccoon City is sending “their best and brightest to answer the call in D.C. and New York City,” with the RPD uniform at the ready for players to dress up and play the part, while Jill Valentine’s iconic getup is also being added....

There are two kinds of heroes in the world of video games: those who talk, and those who don’t. Some protagonists start their lives as quiet characters and eventually graduate to speaking roles, but The Legend of Zelda’s Link has always remained the strong, silent type. While voice acting has become the norm in video games, Nintendo’s landmark series The Legend of Zelda has primarily stuck to its non-voiced roots. The franchise only recently started exploring voice acting with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild via voiced cutscenes, and yet despite all of the characters talking around him, Link never utters a word in the game except for the usual grunts of “Hyut!...

The Oxford English Dictionary defines “meme” as “an image, video, piece of text, typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.” And if you’ve spent any time on Reddit or Buzzfeed then you’ll probably find many who believe this is what the internet was made for. Well, they say laughter is the best medicine so crack a smile at some of the best, stupidest and most famous memes we’ve found from around the web....

It’s time to play the music. It’s time to light the lights. It’s time to meet the Muppets… in LittleBigPlanet 2? That’s right, The Muppets will be the focus in the latest batch of downloadable content for the PS3’s LittleBigPlanet 2, and fans of both franchises will be able to get this latest content starting today. The pack itself contains the traditional “decorations, stickers, objects, music tracks, sound effects, and voices,” but that’s not all....

Just a few days after Sony announced its plans to slow down PS4 download speeds in response to the coronavirus situation, Valve has announced that it is making a similar move with Steam’s auto-update feature. The coronavirus pandemic and the growing number of people being forced to stay home have led to a record amount of traffic on Steam and other networks, resulting in a greater strain on both the networks’ servers and the internet bandwidth of millions of users....
