Since its release last September, Destiny has dominated the gaming universe. The game’s success is impressive, with millions of players still logging many hours a day. Even with the House of Wolves release a couple months away (at least), players have been hard at work grinding for new weapons and armor and discovering new ways to enjoy the game. Over that six-month time, we have seen some impressive feats completed by Destiny players....

Outriders is an upcoming looter shooter from People Can Fly and Square Enix. PCF’s experience with games like Bulletstorm and Gears of War: Judgment paved the way for Outriders’ overall philosophy and gunplay, but the story behind its four unique classes is interesting as well. In Outriders, players will choose between the close-range assassin-like Trickster class, the close range tanky Devastator, the medium-range crowd controlling Pyromancer, or the long-range jack of all trades Technomancer....

Healers are a key part of a good Overwatch team. Providing sustain, armor, and defensive ultimates where needed to keep their teammates alive, and essentially enable their aggressive plays, without a proper healer a team can’t even dream of winning a round. However, simply keeping your team alive isn’t enough when playing support. What separates a great healer from an average one is a wide range of skill sets that can serve the team in multiple ways, from planning the fights ahead to reading what the enemy is likely to do next....

One of the key complaints of the first Overwatch was the lack of single-player and co-op options to differentiate from the standard competitive gameplay. Well a number of announcements made during BlizzCon have helped to show that Overwatch 2 is looking to correct the mistakes of its predecessor by having more complex PvE from the beginning. Coming alongside the BlizzCon announcements, the game’s official Twitter account sent out a series of updates to give players a better look at the PvE coming to Overwatch 2....

The Overwatch community has proven to be wildly creative in the past, with fans of the game constantly sharing great cosplays and unique concepts for new hero skins. One Overwatch fan has continued this tradition of creativity, sharing an incredible replica of Lucio’s Sonic Amplifier to Reddit. While Lucio and his Sonic Amplifier will get a visual redesign in Overwatch 2, the current look of the weapon has been kept intact with Redditor DDoom3099’s replica....

In a previous article, we dived into several of the longest-buried secrets in video games. But like Lara Croft or Nathan Drake, our appetite for hunting for new treasures can’t be satiated. In that spirit, we present an additional trove of easter eggs that took gamers more than a few years to unearth. Some went unnoticed for decades. Other, more contemporary secrets lasted a few years, which, in the internet era, is an incredible feat in itself....

Every four years on January 20, the United States holds an inauguration ceremony for the newest President complete with speeches, parades, and more. While new President Joe Biden understandably received most of the attention at the event this year, former Presidential candidate and current Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders once again managed to catch the attention of the public including fans of Mortal Kombat. While Sanders has been no stranger to memes over the past few years, the Senator was photographed at Biden’s ceremony sitting in a chair, legs crossed with his hands also draped over his knee in wool mittens....

According to MSI, anyone who participates in Intel Inspires will “have exposure to colleges, universities, and industry professionals. The connections forged at Intel Inspires may lead to valuable industry relationships and to university and college scholarships....

Let me start this off by saying I don’t understand the Snyder Cut in any way, shape, or form. It’s a movie that already came out and flopped once, a movie that both we and the franchise had seemingly already moved on from. New stories have been released and some characters have even been recast. It’s a do-over well after most of us have moved on with our lives, and it’s apparently somehow completely different to the Justice League we’ve already seen, and now set to consume another four hours of my life, having already stolen two....

This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers. My Hero Academia Season 6 Episode 15 “Still, I’m alive…” My Hero Academia has reached a bit of a standstill between its heroes and villains after the cataclysmic events of the Paranormal Liberation War. While this encounter wasn’t technically a victory for either side, it’s the villains who are able to move freely and continue to realize their dreams while U.A. High’s strongest resources are still largely contained to hospital beds....

In a recent letter to its shareholders, Netflix has confirmed that The Witcher Season 2 will be arriving in the second half of 2021, along with other returning shows including Sex Education, La Casa de Papel, and several new original films. Henry Cavill is back as Geralt of Rivia, and considering that the first season was among the most watched shows on Netflix, we are all in for a treat....

Netflix has confirmed most of its upcoming content for July, so it’s time to take a look at what’s on the horizon. It’s a quiet-ish month for the streaming giant, but we assume it’ll only get quieter in the next part of the year as the industry shutdown continues to impact release schedules everywhere. Nonetheless, Netflix still has some intriguing projects to offer, for the time being. July will see the return of The Umbrella Academy for its highly anticipated second season, but Netflix also has a few new gambles in the form of its Unsolved Mysteries and The Baby-Sitters Club reboots, along with a brand new spin on the Arthurian legend with its Lady of the Lake series, Cursed....

Mobile MMORPG fans will soon have yet another high-profile grindfest to dive into, courtesy of Blade & Soul Revolution. Netmarble recently announced that its open-world RPG will be coming to a global audience later this year. Blade & Soul Revolution is inspired by the similarly named Blade & Soul MMO on PC. A new website for the game offers a glimpse at its art style and narrative, and even includes a slick CGI short....

The Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer has set off a flurry of speculation around the Internet - due to the limited number of details that were revealed in the teaser. Of course, there are a few things we do know: the game will take place in and around Los Santos (including beaches and the wealthier countryside areas), online multiplayer will return, as will the series’ focus on a deep story campaign....

Showcasing dragon mounts, new gear, and perhaps attempting to invoke some of that classic Morrowind magic with its new setting and narrative, last week’s trailer for Dragonborn, the second full expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, began Bethesda’s official unveiling process for what appears to be the game’s most ambitious add-on to date. With Dragonborn taking flight in mere weeks for the Xbox 360 (Tuesday, December 4), the studio released even more details regarding the DLC today (and yes: even more than those culled from an October update’s source files), along with some captivating new screenshots exploring beyond last week’s trailer....

Square Enix may have taken over a decade to release Kingdom Hearts 3, but the company has released Kingdom Hearts spin-off games on a regular basis, with new titles coming out frequently. As it so happens, it appears as though Square Enix is preparing to launch a brand new Kingdom Hearts spin-off game called Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memories, if a recent leak is any indication. Dataminers have dug through the files of Square Enix’s site for the Kingdom Hearts: Dark Road mobile game, which is where they found a logo for Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memories....

Perhaps one of the most highly anticipated games for the current console generation is Ubisoft’s Gods and Monsters. Few details have been shared for the game since its announcement at E3 2019; however, Ubisoft recently announced that the game had been given a new name but did not reveal what it was. Now it seems that the game’s new title has been discovered, thanks to a new rating by the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee....

In order to compete in the market with high profile games, most developers are attempting to include new and innovative multiplayer experiences into their products, many now focusing on co-op play. Mass Effect 3 just proved that any game that has combat or focuses on story can still be creative and fun with multiplayer and other upcoming games attempting to do the same include Diablo III, Steel Battalion and Starhawk....
