One ambitious Redditor releases a desktop checklist app for Fallout 4 that can help players to keep track of their quests and find hidden loot throughout the game. Fallout 4 features an extremely expansive world, which can make it difficult for gamers to discover every single thing that’s hiding in the Boston Commonwealth. For gamers who are still hunting for collectibles, there’s one gamer that’s been hard at work on since the game premiered in order to make the task a little easier....

Many families across the world are spending the weekend self-isolated in their homes due to the novel coronavirus. What better way to spend a quiet weekend than earning loot? That’s the argument Gearbox president and CEO Randy Pitchford is making by putting out yet another Borderlands 3 SHiFT code for free loot. There’s more Borderlands 3 loot than normal this weekend, with the SHiFT code granting 3 Golden Keys. In his message to Twitter, Pitchford first says hello to the new Borderlands 3 players on Steam and then says, " Let’s stay home this weekend and play Borderlands 3!...

Fans have long awaited the return of tabletop game HeroQuest and, if the countdown clock on the new HQ website is anything to go by, we haven’t got long to wait!

Fans have been circulating a piece of Horizon Forbidden West art online, believing that it’s a new key art for the upcoming sequel. Some actually think that the art might be the official box art for the game as it has a layout similar to Horizon’s Zero Dawn’s cover. Said cover features a battle-ready Aloy and a powerful Horizon Zero Dawn machine. This key art follows the same formula; only instead of a Thunder Jaw, the machine is the new pterodactyl-based one the game plans to introduce when it releases....

The release of Mortal Kombat X may be just a few short months away, but the team at NetherRealm Studios is still having plenty of fun slowly revealing each of the game’s fighters and their updated arsenal of Fatalities. With each snippet of footage that the studio releases, we’ve been able to learn a little more about the current-gen’s first Mortal Kombat experience. The last update gave us a look at how Scorpion and Quan Chi would finish off their foes and this time around we get a preview of another pair of fighters…...

Raid: Shadow Legends – the game that is aggressively advertised everywhere you look – is growing its roster later this year by adding Tyler “Ninja” Blevins to its ever-growing list. Ninja will be available to all players at no cost for three months after his arrival. While Ninja is best known for flossing and playing Fortnite, he has no problem branching out his brand. From starring in comic books to showing up on The Masked Singer, Ninja has slowly expanded his reach beyond the world of streaming....

While the PlayStation team has remained committed to their effort to bring more of their first-party titles to the PC, their release strategy for those ports has been…erratic so far. It’s sometimes tough to tell which first-party games they will port to the PC and when those ports will actually be released. It also seems like the PlayStation team is generally more interested in bringing older PlayStation titles to the PC rather than relatively new games....

With Red Barrels Studio’s Outlast 2’s release date scheduled for Tuesday of next week, the video game developer has decided to scare some additional excitement into fans of the survival-horror series ahead of the sequel going live by putting out the title’s official launch trailer. As one would expect, the footage offers little in the way of actual gameplay, as it instead opts to set the creepy tone of the title with a bunch of nightmarish scenarios and unsettling atmospherics....

Overwatch’s Halloween Terror update will release for all players in a matter of hours and last until the beginning of November, according to multiple leaks For all those excited for more content for Blizzard’s first-person shooter Overwatch, you’re in luck as a leak announces that the highly-anticipated Halloween update will be releasing soon. It seems the developer has dropped the ball a little when it came to keeping the secret under wraps, as the Taiwanese Overwatch website accidentally showed a promotion for the Halloween event which will run from the 11th of October through the 1st of November....

If there’s one thing Nintendo is good at, and they’re certainly good at a lot, its hiding tons of fun Easter Eggs for fans to discover in their games. Sure, we’ve seen most of the stars of Nintendo’s games side by side in their Smash Brothers series, but there’s still something special about seeing a little detail or reference to another game that isn’t quite as obvious. In his latest outing, Paper Mario: The Origami King, Mario can come across a slew of Easter Eggs and secrets – sure to make the most dedicated Nintendo fans smile....

NBC’s long-running sitcoms like The Office and Parks and Recreation have had a huge shelf life on Netflix, and soon the latter program will be available on NBC’s new streaming service Peacock. Before then, the stars of Parks and Recreation will be getting together again on April 30 to do an at-home reunion special to raise money for the nonprofit Feeding America. The television drive to raise money for Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund is being done in collaboration with the insurance company State Farm....

If you’ve played other Monster Hunter titles before, you’ll likely be familiar with the concept of traps. Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruins also has traps that you can use against enemy monsters, each of which is used in a different way. Trapping monsters is not only helpful in battle, but can sometimes be part of the requirement of making a monster retreat, so it’s definitely worth having some on hand at all times....

Just like in Pokemon where attacks are separated between physical and special, attacking skills in Monster Sanctuary are divided between the Attack and Magic stats, with each gaining more power depending on the stat associated with that attack. In some cases, monsters that focus on Magic over Attack will also have some kind of supporting role, either through healing, buffing, or debuffing, but there are also some that focus entirely on dealing as much damage as possible and shouldn’t be ignored when creating a team....

The nature of Mass Effect is that you go from planet to planet. While the Normandy is your hub across all three games and the Citadel is your link to the wider universe, you journey to dozens upon dozens of worlds across the 100 plus hours of Commander Shepard’s journey. Because of how the plot evolves, though, you don’t get to see many of the major planets until the third game - replaying the trilogy in such a condensed fashion with Legendary Edition, this feels very anticlimactic....

While the Mortal Kombat 11 release date is over two months in the past, NetherRealm Studios is keeping players engaged with its newest fighting game through post-launch support.

Fans of the 2009 cult hit Demon’s Souls are sure to wake up to a surprise this morning as Namco Bandai has released a batch of new screenshots for the game’s spiritual successor, Dark Souls. The screens show off many of the environments and enemy types players will encounter throughout the course of the game - so be prepared, once again, for a rough ride. The images give glutton-for-punishment gamers a look at From Software’s follow-up, expected to be just as brutal as the original Demon’s Souls....

To celebrate the upcoming release of Dark Souls 3, Namco launches a contest asking fans to submit videos attempting to explain Dark Souls’ notoriously confusing storyline. Since launching on the PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2011, Namco’s Dark Souls series has built itself quite the reputation: The action RPG franchise known for its dark gothic world, brutally unforgiving difficulty, and rapid fanbase. One thing the series is not known for, however, is an obvious story....

Warning: contains spoilers for Never Have I Ever series one. In a shareholder letter sent almost exactly one year to the release of Never Have I Ever season two, Netflix singled the Mindy Kaling-Lang Fisher teen show out for praise. Not praise as any human being being might put it, but acknowledgement of the half-hour comedy having “notched success” as a “key content vertical” – the words every showrunner wants to hear....

Apple is reportedly working on an upgrade for its Apple TV device lineup, bringing faster performance to its already pretty snappy set-top box. That said, the performance bump is seemingly a little while away - it won’t come out until sometime in the first half of 2024, according to the report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The new box will apparently feature a new chip to power its enhanced responsiveness, but knowing Apple we would also assume that it’ll bring some new features to the table....
