After Tom Clancy’s The Division’s 1.0.2 patch went live, the Dark Zone punishment feature for XP and DZ funds did not, resulting in a wave of players going rogue. After Ubisoft announced that the first major post-launch patch was coming this week for Tom Clancy’s The Division, gamers were looking forward to the number of planned fixes. From the promise of improved rewards and lesser Dark Zone penalties to a series of bug fixes, there was much to look forward to in the planned 1....

Red Dead Redemption 2 contains a chapter which strikes many fans as odd. Immediately following a botched bank job in Saint Denis that leads to the deaths of Lenny and Hosea, the surviving robbers Arthur, Dutch, Bill, Javier, and Micah attempt to escape America by boat and are shipwrecked on the fictional Caribbean island of Guarma, to the east of Cuba. Guarma ends up being the setting for all of Chapter 5 of Red Dead Redemption 2....

Red Dead Redemption 2 is no stranger to secrets and mysteries. Although the game is pretty much grounded in reality for the most part, Rockstar Games still infused some supernatural elements in Red Dead Redemption 2, which only makes its story and overall experience more interesting. Just recently, a relatively new secret in Red Dead Redemption 2’s Saint-Denis theater was discovered by eagle-eyed fans. Unfortunately, this particular secret was never explained, which added to the game’s long list of unsolved mysteries....

The Haunting of Bly Manor, the spiritual successor season to the hit 2018 Netflix series, The Haunting of Hill House, has finally started to stir, making proverbial noises in the night with the reveal of a fall release window. Moreover, Netflix has released the very first images from the anthology iteration. After nearly a year since the last real update, which left viewers wondering if the show had become another pandemic-pushed production, Netflix revealed that The Haunting of Bly Manor will premiere on the streaming platform this fall on a date to be revealed....

The Legend of Zelda franchise is filled with creepy enemies, but cuter foes are far less common. In Hyrule, it’s pretty easy to tell the difference between a friend and an enemy for this reason. If you’re skittish, it’s probably best to hang out with the Koroks and Gorons and steer clear of actual combat. However, there are a few adorable enemies that make it difficult to keep swinging that sword....

This review comes courtesy of: Subscribe to the magazine here. As its name suggests, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 ($1,199/£1,399) is designed to provide a leaner and lighter experience than most gaming laptops, and it immediately impresses with an 19mm-thick frame and a weight of 4.1 pounds. That’s 8mm slimmer and more than a pound lighter than Lenovo’s own Legion 5 Pro, which is our current favorite budget gaming laptop....

Paramount+ is going to the mattresses on April 28. The streamer will debut the first three episodes of The Offer. Based on the experiences of producer Albert S. Ruddy, played by Miles Teller, the original miniseries is about the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 gangster classic, The Godfather. But it is really a love story to early 1970s filmmaking. Paramount+ will also add remastered versions of the full Godfather trilogy to its streaming library....

Star Citizen creator Chris Roberts makes some bold claims regarding Cloud Imperium Games’ upcoming title, comparing the game to an established titan of the industry. Roberts drew the comparison as part of the first “10 from the Chairman” video of 2016, after being asked if Star Citizen’s FPS module, Star Marine, would offer stealth gameplay to compliment its action elements. Roberts, whose studio Cloud Imperium Games has raised over $100 million in crowdfunding towards its debut title, had this to say on the subject of Star Marine design philosophy:...

All odysseys must end. The final year of the starship Enterprise’s five-year mission has long been speculated about, but never before been given such descriptive and reverential treatment as in IDW’s Star Trek: Year Five, a comic written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly. Yet, it too must come to an end as the intrepid crew of The USS Enterprise complete their final year of exploration in this true-to-The-Original-Series story that wraps up this summer....

This Star Trek: Strange New Worlds review contains spoilers. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 6 One of the best things about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the way that it completely blows apart the idea that week-to-week episodic television can’t be as deep, nuanced, or emotionally impactful as more serialized stories with season-long arcs. In fact, I’d argue that even though Strange New Worlds has self-contained adventures that take place in each episode, it is also telling plenty of meaningful, long-term character stories at the same time....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Leading the charge back to television for the Star Trek franchise, and paving the way for three further series to follow, Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s seven seasons had some very high points, and a couple of very low ones (that some would simply call “Season 1….”, not that I’m one of them.) These are the top 25 “must-watch” episodes, not necessarily the top 25 for quality, or indeed my 25 favorites, but the 25 stories that give you the best flavor of the series and its relatively unplanned story arcs....

Ever since its launch in February of 2010, Star Trek Online has been the go-to game of fans of the franchise who wants to relive the franchise’s long history in an MMORPG setting. Star Trek Online’s 11th anniversary also brought a huge event in the game that players can participate in until February 25th on the PC. Of course, given Star Trek Online’s anniversary milestone, players are probably wondering what’s in store for the game in the future....

This Star Wars: Andor article contains spoilers. Do you remember when the Andor previews came out and fans were told not to expect any easter eggs? Well, that turned out to be a ruse less convincing than Supreme Chancellor Palpatine not being Darth Sidious. While it’s true that showrunner Tony Gilroy’s spy thriller doesn’t feature the traditional in-your-face fan service, it’s proved to be a much deeper dive into the franchise’s lore than anyone expected....

Oscar Isaac made a name for himself in sci-fi films when he appeared in Ex Machina, but it was his role as fan-favorite Poe Dameron in the Star Wars sequel trilogy that propelled him to greater fame. Thanks to those appearances Isaac has gone on to clinch other roles in movies like X-Men: Apocalypse, Dune and even as Solid Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie if rumors are to be believed....

Ever since the new Star Wars Battlefront was revealed via a teaser trailer a couple of years ago at E3, fans have been patiently awaiting the next installment in the long dormant franchise. EA and DICE have been working on the title for years now, and are wisely releasing it the month before the theatrical debut of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, in order to capitalize on the massive Star Wars hype that is sure to dominate the last couple of months of 2015....

In order to celebrate its Steam Controller selling upwards of 500,000 units, Valve allows a discount to the price of the peripheral to $35 as a limited time offer. After having had its release date in November 2015, with almost seven months gone by, Valve’s Steam Controller has hit a huge milestone in sales. According to a blog post from the American video game developer and digital distribution company, the Steam Controller has sold over a half a million units, prompting Valve to allow the retailer GameStop to reduce its original price of $50 as well as the cost of the Steam Link Streaming Adapter to $35 through June 7 as a way to show solidarity with its fans....

There have been a lot of games in the Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon franchise. While some of the entries don’t feature marriage, those moments are few and far between. This is likely due to the fact that one of the biggest draws to the game is choosing whom to marry. In fact, most players do multiple playthroughs just so they can marry everyone in town. Thankfully, this is easier since the newest game, Pioneers of Olive Town, introduced both gay marriage and divorce....

With the release of Subnautica, many fans are excited to experience the great depths of the ocean floor. And now that Subnautica has arrived on the Nintendo Switch, more players than ever are experiencing all that the game has to offer. Like other open-world exploration games, there are huge environments to explore and materials to collect, and one of the rarest and most valuable are diamonds. Diamonds can be found all across the map in either their natural crystal form on the seabed or in shale outcrops....

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to the cancellation of many summer events. Summer Games Done Quick, the annual speedrunning charity effort, is one such event. But also like so many events, an alternative digital happening has taken its place. While it won’t be wholly the same, it’s still a great cause. Summer Games Done Quick fans can look forward to it starting tomorrow, Sunday the 16th, at 11:30 am ET....

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury isn’t just a sharper, faster version of Super Mario 3D World. It is that, of course, but the small changes Nintendo has made to the original make this remaster feel transformative. Oh, and Bowser’s Fury might just be better than most of the content in the main game, so that’s also nice. Super Mario 3D World is a Wii U port that got a bad rep thanks to launching on a doomed console....
