There is a virtual arsenal in Dark Souls 3 where any player can find a weapon that suits their playstyle. This wide array of equipment is one of the biggest reasons why people still play this game despite newer Souls titles appearing on the scene. One of the most fun types of weapons to use are Hammers and their big brother weapon type the Great Hammers. Some declare these armaments as brutish; lacking refinement....
Video games have become one of the best ways to escape to another world and indulge in different kinds of genres. Horror or sports can be easy to break down into video games, but other worlds have taken longer to become the norm. It’s taken some time, but games that center around cowboys and indulge in the western genre are now big hits. It’s been a harder process, but now westerns are a great filter to put over first-person shooters or action video games....
When Sony revealed that the PlayStation 5 will be coming in two versions, one with a disc drive and one without, it seemed like a no-brainer. Like it or not, the future of gaming is digital-only, and a new console generation seems like the perfect opportunity to walk away from Blu-rays and GameStops once and for all. There is however one wrinkle to the digital-only life: a highly anticipated PS5 feature called backwards compatibility....

It’s official: Michael Keaton is returning to the role that made him a superhero movie legend in the 1990s. The actor will once again don Batman‘s cape and cowl in the upcoming The Flash DCEU movie, which will reportedly see the Caped Crusader become a mentor to the much younger Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) during a multiverse-spanning adventure. We know very little for sure about Batman’s role in the movie besides the rumors, but with filming currently in progress in the UK, we’re starting to get a sense of what Keaton’s return will look like....
December 4th update: Keighley’s comments during the podcast were taken out of context. The Game Awards creator said that “That kind of stuff is part of what we’re thinking about now. It’s not just about the ‘30-second CG teaser for insane franchise sequel #6,’ which some people want…” Keighley did not explicitly state that The Game Awards 2017 will feature an announcement about a sixth franchise game as this article originally suggested....
Warning: contains spoilers for The Handmaid’s Tale season 4 episodes 1-9. When Esther, a 14-year-old child being sexually abused by her elderly ‘husband’ and others he invites to assault her says “maybe there are no good men in Gilead,” it’s hard to argue. In season four of The Handmaid’s Tale, June gently tells her that she thinks there are good men everywhere. “It’s just complicated. Gilead makes it hard to be good....

A player has shared a newly discovered game breaking glitch from The Last of Us, and it’s hilarious. A new video showcasing the glitch was posted to the official Last of Us subredit by redditor Straydes, where it was explained that their dad was playing the game at the time the bug was found. Glitches and bugs aren’t unheard of in Naughty Dog’s 2013 title. I’ve encountered quite a few during my many playthroughs of the game, but none quite as jarring as this one....

The first trailer for Marvel’s Eternals is here, and it’s full of quick looks at all of our…favorite characters is probably a stretch, but there sure are a bunch of Eternals in there. Ajak narrates, Ikaris and Sersi get stuff to do, we even get Kit Harrington’s Dane Whitman/Black Knight looking at the sky and knowing nothing. But there’s one thing missing that one might expect from the first introduction to an otherwise obscure set of characters....
Quick, think of your favorite episode of ’90s Star Trek. When one of the crew members talks with the ship’s computer, whether it be Commander Riker asking about the location of Captain Picard or Captain Sisko calculating his team’s chances against the Dominion, what do you hear? You hear the voice of the late, great Majel Barrett Roddenberry, often called “the First Lady of Trek.” In addition to being the wife of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and voicing Starfleet’s computer AI, Barrett Roddenberry played a number of other important characters on the various series, namely the original Number One on the first Trek pilot (a role now played by Rebecca Romijn on Strange New Worlds) and Lwaxana Troi, the meddlesome Betazed mother of Counsellor Troi....

Industry veteran Jason Schreier was asked in a MinnMax interview about the long-rumored KOTOR remake to which he said, “There is something there. It’s real.” What’s more, he even stated who is behind this remake, naming Aspyr who is known for its video-game ports, having even worked on mobile versions of KOTOR and console ports of Jedi Academy, Republic Commando, and Episode 1 - Racer....

Starfield rumors are flying fast and free ahead of this year’s E3. Most recently, Jeff Grubb spoke of Starfield on The Games Mess, saying that sources are expecting an E3 gameplay reveal but not to expect a release until next year.

Valve has been under fire lately due to controversies surrounding the games that it allows on its Steam service. It’s also facing stiff competition from the Epic Games Store, which is snapping up exclusives and winning favor from both fans and pundits alike. The time has come for Steam to strike back, which it seems to be doing by fighting razzle with dazzle, as it was announced today that the Steam library is going to be receiving a redesign and it will have new features integrated into the service....
