  1. Since the launch of Dragon’s Dogma 2, Capcom’s friction-filled action RPG, players have been gripped by ***** thanks to Dragonsplague. The in-game virus spreads between Pawns (NPC party members players can rent from each other online) and if not handled properly, can wipe out the population of entire in-game towns.… Read more...

  2. We are gathered here today to bid one final farewell to the 3DS and Wii U’s online services, which will get ***** to rest on April 8. 13 years of life isn’t long, but in those years, the multiplayer functionality for these two Nintendo devices has served us well, connecting players the world over in games like Splatoon,… Read more...

  3. Helldivers 2 players are used to things not going their way, so the last few days have been pretty odd. After successfully liberating Malevelon Creek (aka ****** Vietnam) earlier this week, the ****** Automaton faction came back with even greater firepower, but players have managed to hold them off. In fact, they’ve… Read more... View the full article
  4. In 2007, I graduated high school with one stand-out senior superlative: Most Likely To Be On Reality TV. Since then, I’ve come close (I was nearly on Peacock’s The Traitors, but couldn’t take off from work, and skipped out on being a human canvas on a certain tattoo TV series because I was too anxious I’d end up with… Read more...

  5. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s fast-paced combat has a lot of little nuances beyond simply hacking and slashing. Each character in your party has their own playstyle, strengths, and weaknesses, and you make them your own by customizing each hero’s build with different materia. However, there is one universal trick that… Read more... View the full article
  6. A new patent recently filed by TV and streaming device manufacturer Roku hints toward a possible future where televisions could display ads when you pause a movie or game. Read more... View the full article
  7. Players trying to complete everything in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth are running into a roadblock at the very end of the game after the recent 1.020 patch broke one of the very last side quests. And until it’s patched by Square Enix, only those who own the game physically can complete the quest, get the trophy associated… Read more... View the full article
  8. A new report from the ******* States Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)—an organization focused on enforcing the laws that protect consumers—indicates the bureau is aware of and monitoring big online video games that are filled with in-app purchases, digital currencies, and shady third-party markets that turn… Read more...

  9. If you thought the current landscape of video game consoles and handhelds was already packed, the entirety of Russia has something to say about that. At the very least, Russia’s president Vladimir ****** does, since he’s issued a mandate: produce Russian video game consoles to compete with the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.… Read more...

  10. Off the beaten path of Dragon’s Dogma 2, away from the safety of the roads, ***** a creature unlike anything else the game has to offer. The Sphinx is a unique ****** in that she doesn’t challenge the player through combat; rather, she challenges you in a game of wits. It’s a series of riddles that test your knowledge… Read more...

  11. Sometimes, movies premiere on the same day and live harmonious lives at the box office. Last summer, Barbenheimer, the coexistence of Barbie and Oppenheimer, prompted movie theater marathons, memes, and cosplay dedicated to the diametrically opposed films. But that’s not always what happens, sometimes fans pit movies… Read more... View the full article
  12. Roblox is one of the biggest games in the world, letting people (who are mostly under 16 years old) create and play their own custom creations and share them with others. Roblox has also been at the center of controversy, as some believe the game exploits child labor and doesn’t do enough to protect them. When… Read more... View the full article
  13. Stellar Blade, the stylish character-action game with the drippiest protagonist in recent memory, launches as a PlayStation 5 exclusive on April 26. Ahead of its imminent release, developer Shift Up has spilt some tea on what to expect from updates after the game comes out, which’ll include more outfits for Eve and a… Read more...

  14. Back in the early 2010s, Batman was all the rage. Actually, what am I talking about? Batman is still all the rage, but at the time, it was an especially hot property. In the world of video games, Rocksteady’s Arkham series was taking off while Christopher Nolan was rounding the corner on his widely acclaimed trilogy… Read more... View the full article
  15. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is set to follow in its predecessor’s footsteps as a digital-only, shorter experience. Ninja Theory’s follow-up to the 2017 psychological horror action game will run about eight hours and cost only $50 compared to the $70 most AAA games cost on the Xbox Series X/S. If you prefer longer… Read more... View the full article
  16. We’re a little over a month away from the May 21 release of Hellblade 2: Senua’s Saga on Xbox Series X/S, the sequel to Ninja Theory’s 2017 action-adventure game Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. Ahead of its launch, some sites got the chance to check out Ninja Theory’s sequel via a 45-minute preview with the story-driven… Read more... View the full article
  17. The latest Palworld patch is a big one, bringing a host of new features to the survival-sim-meets-monster-catcher. Still in early access, Palworld is constantly being updated by developer Pocketpair, but this may be the most exciting update yet. Most notably, it introduces the game’s highly anticipated first Raid Boss,… Read more... View the full article
  18. A former developer at Rockstar North, the studio behind the immensely popular Grand Theft Auto franchise, has revealed the reasons why sometimes planes in GTA: San Andreas would just randomly ****** near the player. He also provided some insight into why a particular NPC in the game would take a photo and then walk off… Read more... View the full article
  19. A new life-size replica of the robotic doll and star of 2022 horror hit M3GAN is now available to pre-order from collectible company NECA. The doll was revealed on April Fools, but this isn’t a joke or prank product. No, this doll is real and it’s also really expensive, too. You’ll need to put down $500—the price of a… Read more...

  20. Often, when you rest in Dragon’s Dogma 2, your main Pawn will pick up work from other players online. These loyal non-playable characters in Capcom’s latest high-fantasy role-playing game tend to return bearing gifts, such as the currency Rift Crystals (which you can use to hire other players’ main Pawns) or… Read more...

  21. Destiny 2 is a game I’ve gotten used to quitting on. For as long as I’ve played it, I’ve always found reasons to put it down. As much as it wants to be a game people keep coming back to, everything about the way it’s been built makes it bristling, thorny, and off-putting. The longest stretch I’ve spent comfortably… Read more... View the full article
  22. Final Fantasy XIV’s next expansion, Dawntrail, releases on June 28 (for those who pre-order). I’m looking forward to it. There is just one problem—I still haven’t finished the last expansion, Endwalker. Yes, I know it came out at the end of 2021, but time just got away from me and I fell off in the middle of the… Read more... View the full article
  23. In an increasingly digital age, owning media outright has become less and less possible. Whether it’s movies, music, books, or video games, the pivot to digital has made it ******* for consumers to own permanent, physical copies of their favorite pieces of media. In video games, myriad titles that players have spent… Read more... View the full article
  24. Later this month the National Hockey League, WB Games, and **** Sports are coming together to hold the first-ever “MultiVersus NHL Face-Off” game. What’s that? Well, apparently it’s going to give us all the chance to watch beloved WB characters—like Bugs Bunny and Batman—play ice hockey together on TruTV. Read more... View the full article
