System Mechanic 10 5 Review

Game Rant’s Jason Weissman reviews System Mechanic 10.5 While Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners ponder what the next generation of game systems will be capable of, those in the know realize that next-generation graphics and gameplay are already here.

Tales Of Arise Has Already Been Rated In Australia

Tales of Arise, first planned for release in 2020 and later delayed, might claw its way back up to release sooner than we expected. The game has been rated in two countries this month - Australia and Brazil - and while non-finished games can be submitted and later resubmitted, optimists among us might assume that the multiple submissions mean the latest Tales game will be releasing sooner rather than later, possibly even early next year....

The Best Video Game Secrets Ever

For the most part, games are meant to be fun. They’re an escape, the quintessential form of interactive entertainment. Why watch a film, when you can be the star of one, right? Game developers are gamers too and like to have as much fun in their work as we do playing the finished product. Many games, as a result, include little nods to fans, geek culture and other games. From hidden Easter Eggs, collectibles and secret levels, to cheat codes, hidden modes and bonus features, video game secrets serve to not only give a little wink or extra fun to players, but in many cases, help market games through viral means....

The Burning Crusade Classic 10 Best Questlines In The Expansion

There’s a new expansion coming to World of Warcraft, and what’s different about this one is that it’s actually an old expansion. The original Burning Crusade was released in 2007 to a hungry fanbase, and although novelty has been replaced with nostalgia, those same loyal denizens of Azeroth are no less rabid. The game sold more than 2.4 million copies on its release date, making it the fastest-selling game of all time up until that point, and the download rate for this time around will likely be the same....

The Division Incursions Set Gear Bonuses

Via Twitter, Ubisoft is showing off the bonuses The Division players will receive by gathering Patch 1.1’s gear from Incusions, weekly Operations, and PvP. The Division’s players are a month out from the game’s launch and are already hankering for Ubisoft to get with the post-launch content already. After all, the game isn’t a particularly end-game focused experience (for now).

The Elder Scrolls 6 5 Rumors We Hope Are True 5 We Hope Aren T

The Last Of Us Hbo Series Set Photos Suggest Major Character Death

This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us. While we know that HBO’s The Last of Us series will make some changes to the original game’s story, recent set photos from the production of the upcoming show strongly suggest that it will still feature one of that game’s most shocking and impactful character deaths. Before we dive into that, let’s make it clear that while we’re theorizing about the upcoming HBO series’ plot based on what happens in the games and what these set photos strongly suggest will happen in the show, it’s possible that those theories will prove to be right and that we might end up spoiling a potentially major moment from the upcoming show....

Steam Adds An Official Lgbtq Game Tag Coincidentally During Pride Month

Steam has finally added LGBTQ+ as an official game tag just in time for Pride. Let’s say you’re tired of playing the usual assortment of heteronormative protagonists in games and you’re ready to walk on the wild side. You’re ready to dive into the rich and deep culture of homosexual gaming, but don’t know where to start. Previously, Steam didn’t exactly make it easy to find games featuring gay characters. The LGBTQ+ tag did exist, but only as a user tag which didn’t actually help with Steam’s sorting algorithms that make recommendations when you go to the storefront (that’s the page that recommends games based on previously played/owned games in your library)....
