Gotham City Impostors is a unique shooter to say the least. Giving gamers the chance to experience first person shooter combat whilst at the same time having gadgets at the ready isn’t something altogether new, but combined with DC’s Batman property it becomes a wholly different animal. Just recently two new trailers have been released that help give gamers a better idea of the world developer Monolith has created. Much like Arkham Asylum and Arkham City were meant to be living breathing sources of constant interaction, Gotham City is developed to be a playground of destruction for Joker and Batman imitators....

Keanu Reeves continues his takeover of gaming with a new mod that brings him to Metal Gear Solid 5. At this year’s E3, Cyberpunk 2077 creators CD Projekt Red made the surprise announcement that Keanu Reeves would be a character in their game. Called “Johnny Silverhand,” he’d actually portray a pivotal character in the Cyberpunk series and be the main plot point in Cyberpunk 2077. This came around the same time as John Wick 3 and the Fortnite crossover that also brought Keanu to the biggest battle royale game out there....

Fireflow Volcano is a location in New Pokemon Snap that you unlock shortly after completing various tasks across the Maricopia Islands and Sweltering Sands. As you might guess based on the name, it’s filled to the brim with Water Pokemon. I’m joking, it’s obviously got loads of Fairy types. Okay fine, it’s Fire! Sorry about that. Hopefully you’ll forgive me given that I’ve put together a list of every single Pokemon you can find in Fireflow Volcano in New Pokemon Snap, including where to encounter them and which rank they start appearing in....

If you’re a fan of Slay the Spire’s roguelike deckbuilding but prefer to roll dice than draw cards, then Slash Roll is the game for you. Slash Roll just entered Steam Early Access yesterday and is holding a promotional 10% off sale. It’s an indie game from NiankSoft that seems to take a lot of inspiration from Slay the Spire, the deckbuilding roguelike. Only in Slash Roll, you build a dice pouch rather than a deck of cards....

There’s only one more week until gamers can explore the fictional city of Los Santos in what may arguably be the most-anticipated game of the year. While the leaked map of the biggest GTA game yet made all the buzz today, there are plenty of news bits you may have missed over the last week. On the news front this week, we’re going to look at Mirror’s Edge and Minecraft crossovers; Diablo and its clones; the future of the Dead Space, Need for Speed and Homeworld franchises; and the success of EVE Online and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon....

This year’s E3 has brought with it a slew of JRPG remaster announcements in just the first few days. Following in the footsteps of Square Enix, both developer Level-5 and Bandai Namco have revealed they are remastering 2013’s Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, one of their beloved PS3-exclusives, later this year. The significance of Ni No Kuni’s announcement is that it isn’t a Sony exclusive, as the game will release on PlayStation 4, PC, and the Nintendo Switch....

The Night Market in Valorant offers special and premium weapon skins at a discounted price, and it’s back in business for the third time since the game launched. The first Night Market was added to the game back in December 2020 with the update v1.14. Shortly after, Riot Games released the second Night Market earlier this year in February. With Riot Games adding the Night Market back in Valorant, players can once again roll their luck and get the featured weapon skins at a discounted price....

Nintendo has revealed it is still considering mini versions of more consoles as it attempts to bring its products to as many age groups as possible. The Nintendo Switch is well on its way to becoming the most popular Nintendo home console of all time. That doesn’t mean Nintendo isn’t considering more consoles in the near future, though. No, not the Switch Pro, the existence of which Nintendo still refuses to confirm or deny, but more mini consoles....

It’s been quite a hectic week for hardcore Super Smash Bros. fans, as Nintendo took legal action to stop The Big House, a recently cancelled tournament featuring both Smash Bros. Melee and Ultimate, on the grounds that the Melee bracket was running Project Slippi, a Dolphin emulator mod that enables rollback netcode in online play for the 19-year-old game. However, it now looks as Nintendo is increasing its use of legal resources in order to prevent the Smash community from tampering or modding their software, as a new wave of YouTube videos have started being flagged due to presumable copyright infringement denounced by the Japanese giant....

The Nintendo Switch’s latest firmware update, Version 14.0.0, finally adds a feature gamers have wanted for a long time: folders that allow them to organize their collections. This addition is a boon for anyone with a large game library, but the instructions for how to use it aren’t as readily available as some might like. That being the case, here’s a quick and easy guide that should help you use that new feature....

In my early days of being a scrub player in Fate/Grand Order, I felt particularly blessed to have summoned Arthur Pendragon. He’s a particularly rare character, with banners that come barely once a year, which puts him under the category of event servants (and not to be confused with his nonlimited female counterpart Artoria, the game’s mascot). Event servants are special units that only appear during specific holidays or themes, and if you miss them once, you may not get your chance again for a long time....

Oppo is reportedly readying an upgraded version of its Oppo Pad tablet with an Indian release expected in March or early April. It’s been reported that Oppo plans a few upgrades over the original model, with rumours currently using the Oppo Pad 2 moniker until told otherwise. And while details are scarce right now, Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station appears to have some morsels to share. As reported by 91Mobiles, the leak claims that we can look forward to the Oppo Pad 2 shipping with a new, larger 9,500mAh battery inside....

It was thought that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice couldn’t be grittier, but the original script sought to challenge those beliefs. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, directed by Zac Snyder, came out in 2016 and was met with mixed reviews with both sides arguing over just how dark a superhero movie should be. However, according to the original screenwriter for the 2000s project of the film, things could’ve been a lot different if that version of the movie premiered....

Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation following accusations of harassment, discrimination, and fostering a hostile work environment. You can read more about the investigation here. Yes, after some back and forward decision-making regarding what, exactly, Overwatch 2 will be, Blizzard has decided to turn their often controversial and confusing project into the only official way to play Overwatch from now on. It remains to be seen if Overwatch 2 can recapture the magic of its predecessor’s golden age, but that conversation can’t even start until the next Overwatch is officially released....

2019 has already been an eventful year for Overwatch, with Ana’s Bastet Challenge giving players a new way to unlock an epic-tier skin besides spending coins or getting lucky with loot boxes. After the successful Ana’s Bastet Challenge event, Blizzard is keeping the hero shooter’s new year momentum going strong, confirming that the annual Lunar New Year event is returning next week. Overwatch players can look forward to the Lunar New Year event returning on January 24 and lasting until February 18....

Blizzard is preparing for its next big in-game event for the competitive online multiplayer shooter Overwatch. Fans have been expecting news regarding the return of the King’s Row Uprising event for some time, and while Blizzard has delivered a handful of teasers so far an official announcement has remained absent. Today that changed, with Blizzard confirming the return of Uprising next month. King’s Row Uprising will begin on April 10, according to a teaser post that Blizzard dropped on Overwatch’s social media....

No ARPG on the market can match the sheer depth of Path of Exile. This free-to-play dungeon crawler offers a degree of customization that would make other games blush. Everything from your skills to your endgame experience can be suited to your needs. Unfortunately, Path of Exile’s depth comes at the cost of accessibility. This is easily the most obtuse dungeon crawler out there, but don’t let that dissuade you. Waiting beyond the game’s brutal campaign lies one of the most feature-rich, diverse, and satisfying ARPGs in the genre....

The cooperative first-person shooter series Payday has been popular since it debuted in the early 2010s, though the gap between 2013’s Payday 2 and a supposed Payday 3 in development for 2022 or 2023 has left fans in anxious anticipation. Luckily, Payday 2 is receiving DLC in the meantime, with its newest mission called “Breakfast in Tijuana” having released to the public on June 30. About six years after it first released, Payday 2 re-entered development in October 2019 to create DLC in an ongoing series known as the Silk Road campaign....
