Fortnite has become a cultural touchstone for a generation, bringing people together through charm, frenetic gameplay, and savvy design. The game offers much more than gunplay at this point, with concerts and even full movie screenings on Fortnite’s map. One of the most important influencers in the Fortnite community is Tyler Blevins, known to the world as Ninja. One of the best players in the world, he has become his own brand....
Our quick take Nintendo 3DS XL - 4.0 / 5 So what’s new? Glasses-free 3D concept The games Design To recap The 3DS XL makes more sense than the original 3DS ever did. Why? Because the last 12 months have seen enough worthwhile content released. The larger screen is better to use, despite the resolution remaining the same. The 3D feature might be fun for some, but we left it switched off for almost all gameplay - so if 3D doesn’t appeal you needn’t worry, the 3DS XL has all bases covered....
Quarantine has brought out the arts and craftsy side of us all, and Nintendo fans have been going above and beyond to show us what they can do—including one particular fan, who has made protective face masks designed to look like a Nintendo Switch. The masks come in two variants, neon yellow and pink and regular red and blue. No details are spared: the masks have analog sticks and buttons with embroidered lettering, and even look to be triple-layered for extra protective capability....
Never before has hype inflated expectations as much as it did in the build-up to the release of No Man’s Sky. The game had everything. There was just one small problem though. When it finally released, many of these things were not actually in the game. In Hello Games’ defense, Sony did little to quench the fires of expectation. Regardless of who was to blame though, the game’s launch was catastrophic....
Earlier today Sony issued, and has since removed, a number of strikes against YouTube accounts that had No Man’s Sky footage, claiming it violated copyright law. Last week, both Sony and No Man’s Sky developer, Hello Games, were scrambling to take down video postings of gameplay footage from a leaked copy of No Man’s Sky that was purchased on Ebay for over $1,200. Sean Murray, head of Hello Game’s, pleaded with players to not watch the leaked footage so to not spoil the experience for themselves....

One of these games is Ori and the Will of the Wisps, which will be seeing some magical upgrades as it comes to the new console. With such a strong narrative and a complex platforming system, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a beautiful game that many players have taken to....

The second Outriders broadcast provides a ton of knowledge for eager fans. As a class-based RPG style shooter, many may be wondering how its classes tie together, how playthroughs work, and other factors like that, and community manager Robbie Palmer delivered upon some of those questions at the end. In a vein similar to Borderlands 3’s Gunner, Operative, Beastmaster, and Siren, Outriders features 4 classes for players: Trickster, Pyromancer, Devastator, and a mysterious unrevealed class....
In the fifteen days since Fall Guys’ launch, the game has gained a reputation for being a lighthearted, mini-game centric take on the battle royale genre. However, despite its cartoonish facade, Fall Guys rounds can take ruthless, friendship-ending turns, and no one has suffered quite as publicly under the game’s rule as Twitch streamer Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar. Over the course of eight days, Betar has repeatedly struggled to avoid elimination in-game, and never won a single match....
A new year is here, and it brings with it a brand new season of Overwatch’s Competitive Play. Competitive Season 8 is now live in Overwatch, giving fans of the game the chance to compete in placement matches and earn an SR rank. However, this new season of Competitive has some changes that fans should be aware of before they jump into the game’s online battles. Perhaps the most notable change is that the maximum skill rating difference between players on a team has been reduced....
We may all be waiting for Overwatch’s sequel to finally release (or actually get an official release date), but this hasn’t stopped Activision Blizzard from continuing to update the original game with new content and the like. And before a number of players jump ship to the sequel, one last hero has been added in the form of the long-since teased Echo. Echo was only officially announced last month, complete with an origin story trailer to explain her role within Overwatch’s lore, and Blizzard have confirmed that she’s now available for all players to try out in all versions of the game....
It seems like this nightmare is never going to end. The news that Cyberpunk 2077 has had the worst possible game launch has been beaten into the ground. But in the latest version of complaints about the game, people are actually getting pissed off that Sony and Microsoft are removing the game after giving them refunds. I’m not sure what this person was expecting. Requesting a full refund for a game littered with bugs is understandable, but on what planet do you get to continue playing a game you didn’t even pay for?...
The official Monster Hunter Twitter account posted some fresh concept art of a terrifying new enemy you’ll be facing in Monster Hunter Rise – the Aksonom. According to the post, “the peculiar Aksonom likes to stand on one leg,” and it happens to look a bit like an oversized – and highly dangerous – flamingo. At first blush it doesn’t seem to be that imposing of a foe. It fact, it actually looks a bit goofy balancing on one talon....
Tomorrow, Spawn will finally arrive in Mortal Kombat 11 as the game’s latest DLC character, and he is bringing a host of brutal finishing moves along with him. Among these finishers are two gruesome Spawn Fatalities, both of which were revealed over the course of last week, and a myriad of Brutalities that have all been collected in the video found below. These new Mortal Kombat 11 Brutalities see Spawn use an array of deadly tools, ranging from swords to chains to guns, to mercilessly finish off his defeated opponents....
http://youtu.be/wvawTOW-FVI The Assassin’s Creed series already toys around with the idea of time-travel, thanks to the existence of the Animus: a machine that allows its users to re-live the events of their ancestors or, in the case of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, those you have the DNA of. So to see that the newest trailer for Assassin’s Creed Unity reveals actual time-traveling, it’s a bit of a surprise - Even more so when you consider the fact that the time-traveling is occurring while you’re still running around in the Animus simulation as Arno....
Pre-orders are now available for NBA 2K21, meaning we also get a final look at who all of this year’s cover athletes will be other than Damian Lillard, who was announced earlier this week as the cover athlete for the standard edition on current generation consoles. Unsurprisingly, New Orleans Pelicans’ star power forward, Zion Williamson, will grace the cover of the standard edition on the next generation consoles of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X....
It just isn’t a great time for pro sports video games right now, with the FIFA and NHL games receiving backlash over no cross-gen support, people calling Madden NFL 2021 a glitchy copy, and the recently released NBA 2K21 now dealing with its own controversies. However, 2K has announced a shooting hotfix for its basketball game, which may be good news to frustrated players. NBA 2K21 has been out for only a day, but it’s already drawing major criticism for the difficulty in using the shot meter....
The pre-order window for the latest Digivice game based on the recently rebooted Digimon Adventure anime has run into some issues, so Bandai has decided to delay it, sort of like the Digimon Adventure: reboot itself. However, unlike the anime, the Digivice will only be held off for three weeks instead of indefinitely. The Digivice’s Premium Bandai standby page posted an update for it earlier this week. Withthewill.net — a Digimon dedicated community site — then translated the page and posted the information onto their Twitter account....
