The Witcher 3 released over five years ago, but it is still beloved by many and considered one of the best RPGs of all time. Developer CD Projekt Red has kept the game alive through various means as fans enjoy it from around the world, and one recent item is a Witcher-themed sword calendar for 2021. CD Projekt Red is quite busy with Cyberpunk 2077 finally releasing in just a few days....
Last night, The Game Awards 2020 aired and brought forth a plethora of world premieres and first looks for the next generation of gaming, as well as celebrated the accolades of this year’s top games. While The Last of Us Part 2 winning Game of the Year called for celebration, the absence of FromSoftware’s Elden Ring has fans worried. Elden Ring is the next entry in the Soulsborne series, which first spawned with 2009’s Demon’s Souls and led to the Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne, and Sekiro....
Over the last decade or so, I’ve played more than 300 different games. Some have taken just a few minutes of my time, while others have outright consumed sizable chunks of my life. Skyrim, for example, was a big draw in 2012, as the quest to complete every Guild mission consumed me. But even though games like Skyrim or Call of Duty have been huge time sinks for me, they have all paled in comparison to one of this year’s big games....
The Overwatch team have revealed their chosen picks for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in a recent Reddit AMA, with Tracer and Doomfist standing out as the two characters they want to see in the game. The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster mostly consists of characters who come from Japanese gaming franchises, with Banjo-Kazooie being one of the few representatives from an international series. A lot of western developers would love to see their characters represented in the Super Smash Bros....
Twitch releases its 2016 year-in-review retrospective, and Blizzard Entertainment’s hyper-popular title Overwatch appears as the new game viewers watched most. With a recent (but unintentional) Bastion buff that made the character OP in the Public Test Realm, more evidence on that points to the upcoming character Doomfist, and an adorable merch item in the Tracer Nendoroid figurine launching soon, the perpetual purr around Blizzard’s Overwatch seems at its highest volume yet....
Our quick take Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 - 4.5 / 5 Superzoom: 20x optical zoom Light Speed AF New 14.1-megapixel sensor TZ30: crammed with tech Improved movie mode To recap The TZ30 improves on the TZ20 in every area. Image quality is decent but not outstanding, and battery life could be better, yet every other area is a winner. A great zoom range from 24-480mm, excellent image stabilisation, very fast autofocus and a great 1080p movie mode make this a real crowd-pleaser....

Whether you want to be a solo player or a multiplayer pro, taking on traditional hunts or the new Rampage quests, there’s a quest for you, and this guide will help you find it....

Monster Hunter Rise’s Palamutes are one of the most anticipated features of the game....
Morbius is coming back to theaters. No, stop laughing. We’re being serious! The vampire-superhero spinoff, which is based on an obscure piece of Spider-Man IP, might’ve been met with derision and chuckles last April when it opened to a (just barely) respectable $39 million—and then tumbled a disastrous 74 percent in its second weekend—but Morbius has now become such a darling of fan culture on home media that it’s getting a second life in theaters....

Thanks to the sandbox nature of Mount & Blade: Warband it’s given rise to a number of interesting and in-depth mods. Some look to make minor tweaks to the game, while others convert things so thoroughly it feels like its own standalone game. These mods in particular change and contort the base game so dramatically they require their own learning curve and provide unique gameplay experiences. Whether it’s wielding magic, riding bears, or commanding your own undead army into battle, here are some of the more insane mods out there....

For those fans that would like a bit of help working out such a build for one position in particular, point guard, this guide is here to help....
I can’t help but cringe when I think back to my teenage years. I was still in the closet, spent much of my time playing games and watching anime, and was obsessed with emo music to an almost embarrassing degree. I was real edgy, but also a vibrating ball of anxiety that wanted to indulge in some form of media that truly understood me. I’m still not sure I ever really found that comfort, and I’m still uncovering who I really want to be even today....

You know what everyone could use in the sweltering summer months? A nice, cold glass of…anime. At least that’s the particular theme that comes up in Netflix’s list of new releases for June 2021. Netflix has been quietly expanding their anime offerings for awhile now but June is a particularly anime-heavy month. The absolutely metal sounding Record of Ragnarok arrives this month. So too do parts 1 and 2 of the newest Sailor Moon film on June 3 and Godzilla Singular Point on June 24....
Red Dead Redemption 2’s online mode has introduced another update with new events for players to partake in, including a new Public Enemy mode, the Railroad Baron event, a new Bellerose Hat, and more. The Showdown Mode turns players into bounty hunters or public enemies in an exciting match. Two teams have a designated player labeled as a public enemy, which rotates regularly among all teammates. Points are awarded for killing the opposing team’s enemy, but every kill they make in the process is a point for the other side....
