Nintendo Switch continues to prove itself as the plucky little hybrid handheld that could. In its home arena of Japan, the PlayStation 4 remains ahead on lifetime sales (it does have a significant head start, after all), but recent evidence demonstrates that it may actually edge Sony’s system out. Sooner rather than later, too. Now, compared to the poor old Wii U, the plucky hybrid handheld is doing phenomenally well. It surpassed its predecessor’s lifetime sales around the world way back in January this year....

No Man’s Sky has had a new lease on life in recent years. With the new Beyond and NEXT expansions, a literal universe of possibilities have opened up to players. While exploring barren planets that no one has ever found before is still such a cool adventure, players must properly maintain their elements and supplies to fuel their intergalactic quest. One of the most important elements that have been added as of the NEXT update is Cadmium....

GeForce Now has officially crossed the ten million members threshold. The news comes during a week of big announcements from Nvidia, which recently held its GTC 21 Keynote, offering a deeper look at the company’s performance and plans for the future. News of GeForce Now hitting ten million members was amplified by Piers Harding-Rolls on Twitter, a games industry analyst and the brain behind Ampere Analysis.

The Oregon Trail is one of the oldest games ever created and has had the staying power to keep being released up to a few years ago. The game series is largely remembered today for being an excellent source of memes, especially for ones about dying of a certain disease. Despite being one of the most talked-about games in history, a lot of new gamers have never played it, and even those who did play it don’t know too much about it....

Legendary weapons and armor are the most powerful pieces of gear you can find in Outriders. These pieces come pre-loaded with a Tier 3 mod and exceptional stats. If you intend to push into the highest challenge tiers of Outriders’ end game activity, Expeditions, you’ll want to build up an armory of weapons and armor to help you get there. While there are a few guaranteed ways to farm legendaries throughout the main campaign, your main source of legendaries will come from Expeditions....

Earlier this month, Outriders developer People Can Fly responded to criticisms and concerns about issues during the launch of the Outriders demo. The developer detailed a target wish list for Outriders demo and full launch changes and pledged to start rolling out fixes within a week or so. Today People Can Fly followed up on that promise, releasing some platforms specific fixes mentioned previously and providing an update on future patches....

Outriders turned more than a few heads when the development studio People Can Fly, backed by Square Enix, released a playable demo on February 25. With aggressive play across four classes, authentic dialogue guiding players across a ravaged planet, and tailorable difficulty that promises greater rewards for shouldering additional risk, the title seems to hold great promise, and the developer has stated that it wants “to be open, honest, and upfront” about Outriders....

We all have fond memories of our first Pokémon game. For veterans of the series, these were anywhere between Gen I-III. Red, Blue, Yellow, Crystal, Silver, Emerald, whatever the game it was special and made a lasting impact on what would become lifelong fans of the franchise. But as we get older we tend to see things through rose tinted glasses. We remember things a little better than they actually were and that can cloud our judgement sometimes....

When it comes to Overwatch, Blizzard isn’t afraid to completely rework its characters in order to find a better balance in the game. As it turns out, the studio is currently testing two huge reworks for a couple of its most popular characters, and while the D.Va changes have already been discussed, Blizzard has now revealed the changes coming to the healer character Mercy. The Mercy rework coming to Overwatch sounds rather significant, and should completely change the way people play the popular healer....

Overwatch players discover a new bug in the game’s 3v3 mode that sends mech-piloting character D.Va into a texture-less version of the map when she is ejected from her mech. Overwatch’s 3v3 mode is much loved by fans as they work out the best strategies for the Arcade game mode also enjoying running around its frosty map, Ecopoint: Antartica, and making up their very own Hide and Seek game modes. However, the 3v3 mode has also suffered from several technical issues ever since it was introduced....

Our quick take Panasonic Lumix GX80 - 4.5 / 5 Panasonic Lumix GX85 review: Design Panasonic Lumix GX80 review: Big new features Panasonic Lumix GX85 review: Performance Panasonic Lumix GX80 review: 4K and Post Focus Panasonic Lumix GX80 / GX85 review: Image quality To recap Overall the GX80 is a solid mid-level compact system camera.

Trading can be a very lucrative and useful activity in Path of Exile. When done properly players can obtain powerful items, helpful resources, and amass large fortunes in their stashes. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t do much to help players understand what to trade, how to trade, and what things are worth. Fortunately, there are some key basics to get players started. The market fluctuates on a daily basis and will often be influenced by which event is going on and which League the player is in....

April Fools brings with it much laughter and skepticism for the gaming industry, as tech giants and publishers poke fun at themselves and different aspects of gaming culture, such as the Final Fantasy 14 Go reveal. Most of the time, these ideas are only concepts meant to be enjoyed briefly, giving headaches to people who are left wondering “what if?” In the case of Path of Exile, however, players won’t be left wondering, as the developers unveil a brand new Battle Royale mode for a limited time....

Warning: contains plot spoilers for Peaky Blinders season six 1-6. Gold = Money = Death Visually, season six is dripping with gold, a symbol of the material wealth Tommy Shelby has amassed over more than a decade of gangsterism. From Arrow House’s art deco bathroom to its china plates and the upholstery on its dining room chairs, from the Midland Hotel suite to the sanatorium’s X-ray machine, the characters are surrounded by gold – Tommy most of all....

Although most Monster Hunter World players will be pretty satisfied with their builds by the time they reach the endgame, there is always room to improve. They can specialize gear and weapons towards specific monster targets or even seek out the right combination of decorations/jewels to slot in their armor, but the real endgame grind is augmenting. As we have previously revealed in our Monster Hunter World augmenting guide, the key to augmenting armor is collecting streamstones of a specific type....

Earlier today Capcom revealed Monster Hunter World will finally be coming to the PC on August 9th, nearly half a year after the game originally released on console. Without question, the fandom had been waiting for this announcement and it was enough to let that sink in, but Capcom confirmed a few additional details about Monster Hunter World on PC as well. The biggest revelation is that Monster Hunter World will not support crossplay between any of the console versions and the PC....

These teasers included a promotional video that said that Google would be revealing its vision “for the future of gaming” at the event. Although the video teaser was vague, it may have been more revealing that some initially realized.

The Mortal Kombat movie from the 90s has a valid claim to be the best movie inspired by a fighting game, though its competition is mediocre at best, but the new Mortal Kombat film is looking to make a name on its own right. So far WarnerMedia and HBO Max have shown very little of what’s to come for Mortal Kombat in 2021 with only a couple of sneak peeks being teased in January and also in an HBO video showcasing their 2021 movie offering....

This post contains spoilers for She-Hulk Attorney at Law Episode 7 Turns out, it worked pretty good! She-Hulk episode seven “Ribbit and Rip It” proved to be a highlight of the series, even winning over those disappointed by the show thus far. The episode saw Murdock defending designer Luke Jacobson (Griffin Matthews) against a lawsuit from wealthy idiot Eugene Patilio (Brandon Stanley) aka Leap-Frog, represented by Jen Walters.

For fans of The Witcher, Christmas must indeed be the most wonderful time of the year, as it was near the holidays in 2019 when the series made its debut on Netflix. Since then, the streaming giant’s adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels has become the fantasy series to watch right now. With a third season all but confirmed for The Witcher, fans’ questions have turned to just when they will get to enjoy season 2, or at least get a full trailer showing what the future holds for Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia, a matter that’s only worsened by the show’s scheduling mishaps, whether they be due to COVID-19 or just Cavill getting hurt on set....
