Dr. Zahedi appears in one of the very early Outriders quests, and you’ll need to find him before you can progress with the story. The quest is called “Dedication”, and it’ll give you your first glance at the First City, which will become familiar by the end of the game. Zahedi will continue to make regular appearances during your campaign. He’s responsible for any sort of crafting you want to do throughout the game and will appear with your camp in each new zone....

Sure, Valve arguably laid the groundwork for Blizzard’s Overwatch with Team Fortress 2, but when talking about Valve’s Overwatch, that’s not what people mean. It’s an anti-cheat system that lets “good-standing” players evaluate whether reported players were, in actuality, cheating. This can lead to what is known as an Overwatch Ban, and that system is leaping from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to Dota 2. The update rolled out on January 27, “[Yesterday’s] update introduces a powerful tool to help the community regulate negative behavior amongst its ranks - Overwatch....

As if it needed to be said, Overwatch has proven to be an incredibly successful venture for Blizzard, with the studio set to celebrate the team-based shooter’s second year of availability soon by way of an official Anniversary event at the end of this month. Now, though, it looks as if the company has even more reason to commemorate the occasion, as Blizzard recently announced that the game has surpassed more than 40 million players since launch....

Blizzard puts an incredible amount of detail into each Overwatch skin that they craft and then stuff into lootboxes. Sometimes masked characters like Reaper or Genji will even be given facial animations just for that specific skin. Wrecking Ball, aka Hammond, aka the abnormally large, super-intelligent hamster that drives a spherical battle-mech - it’s a very silly game - is a favorite among Overwatch players who enjoy torturing their opponents by constantly bashing them with a giant swinging metal orb....

Games seem to love teasing players by showing them an item or treasure just out of reach early on in the game that, try as you might, you just cannot reach just yet. You might need a new ability, item, tool, or character of some sort that you won’t get until later that you need to bring back. That is exactly the case with the tantalizing treasure chest you can spot on the second floor of a mansion in Toad Town in Paper Mario: The Origami King....

A new Paper Mario adventure has been confirmed for Nintendo Switch. Paper Mario may be the most notable of the spin-offs within the Mario series. Unlike the main platformer games, Paper Mario offers deeply nuanced stories with twists and turns. The two prime examples of this are Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario. Both games feature big new villains, and a lengthy story mode to play through. Rumors have been swirling about a new Paper Mario game on Nintendo Switch....

The Warm Pelt is one of the last items you’ll need in order to complete the delivery task for the second Frost Islands sub camp, and it’s one of those items you won’t get just by running around the game, fulfilling the tasks given to you by the quest giver. By the name you know it’s an item you have to carve for, but what monsters drop Warm Pelt in Monster Hunter Rise, and where can you find them?...

Monster Hunter World allows players to finally play cooperatively with their friends, however, it does take some steps to get there. Players can tackle Monster Hunter World on their own, but it seems to be more fun to do with friends. The first step for players is to complete the opening quest before they are able to hunt for monsters with friends. After finishing the quest, Jagras of the Ancient Forest, players will be able to begin the process of playing cooperatively....

About a month ago, Capcom and CD Projekt Red revealed a partnership between the two that would provide Monster Hunter World with a crossover event featuring none other than The Witcher’s Geralt of Rivia, and the announcement had originally slated the content to come in early 2019. Now, the companies have decided to give Hunters on the action-RPG’s console versions a better idea as to when they will be able to give the White Wolf-starring event a go....

Much has been written about the greatest romances in video games. Some couples have even gained a large following, including pairs like Geralt and Yennefer from The Witcher 3 or Tidus and Yuna from Final Fantasy X....

You can tell if somebody’s watched German Netflix series Dark by the furrow in their brow and the delirium in their eyes. The 2017 – 2020 time-travel mystery required a flip-chart of graphs and diagrams to explain, but proved a cult hit for Netflix and led to its creators Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar signing a deal with the streamer. 1899 (read our spoiler-free review here) is the result....

A brand new Far Cry Primal trailer from Ubisoft focuses on the plight of the action-adventure title’s protagonist, Takkar, while also introducing the game’s characters.

Founja Jungle (Day) is the first biome you unlock in New Pokemon Snap after leaving Florio Nature Park. While the previous area simply had day and night variations of the same overall map, Founja Jungle is totally different, its dense, overgrown flora housing all kinds of different Pokemon species. Liepard prowls proudly through the foliage, but other, less confident ‘mons hide in the background - it’s certainly not going to be easy to find all of them....

Well, it’s actually pretty tricky, and you’ll probably need a few tries to get the perfect run, and the perfect shot. Luckily, we know exactly how to get the best shot, and complete the Why So Still Request in the process.

Not too long ago, Rockstar Games released a wealth of information about weapon choice and customization for its forthcoming open world western title, Red Dead Redemption 2, and now the studio wants to impart even more knowledge to players in the form of screenshots. So, in order to show off the combat and a few of the different firearms that will be available in the title, the developer has put out a fresh batch of images and short clips highlighting the game’s gunslinging action....

The people who are curious about the World of Darkness franchise and the Vampire: The Masquerade world can now be introduced to the setting through a new video on the World of Darkness YouTube channel. Vampire: The Masquerade suffers at the elevator pitch stage in comparison to games like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. It’s easy to introduce people who are interested in tabletop games to fantasy stories with set goals (slaying dragons, finding lost treasure), but Vampire: The Masquerade is a different type of game....

No, it’s still not Mother 3. In 1993, the war between Nintendo and Sega had grown so heated that Nintendo was willing to curb the industry as a whole if it meant damaging their competition. They were given the chance to do this during a Senate hearing on video game violence, which had been prompted by the release of two games; Mortal Kombat and Night Trap. Howard Lincoln, who was the chairman of Nintendo of America at the time, swore that Night Trap would never appear on a Nintendo system, even though none of the Nintendo consoles at the time had the ability to play the game, due to it requiring a CD-ROM....
