Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan vows to nerf Bastion following a controversial buff. Many players complained that Bastion is overpowered following changes made to the character on the PTR some weeks ago, and the official roll out of those changes earlier this week only reignited calls for the robot to be nerfed. Responding to fans on the game’s official forums, Kaplan admitted that Bastion “is a little too powerful right now,” though he disagreed that the character is an “I Win button” choice of hero....

Originally released in 2016, Night School Studio’s Oxenfree has not only received acclaim, but it still regularly has new players discovering it for the first time. The story of Oxenfree is a bit basic on the surface, but it resonates with players because of its relatability and simplicity. Alex, the player character, is a rebellious teen coping with her own loss while getting to know her new step-brother Jonas on a secret trip gone wrong....

Monster Hunter Rise is doing pretty well for itself on Switch. In just one month, Rise has already sold over 6 million copies worldwide, a sales pace second only to Monster Hunter: World. And Capcom has no plans to stop, with the first free update adding the Chameleos from previous Monster Hunter titles. For those coming from World, Chameleos is very similar to the Pukei-Pukei in appearance and the way it just flies around....

The free title update for Capcom’s hugely popular multiplayer RPG game, Monster Hunter World, is live, and with the update, a fierce new monster has arrived in the game. The version 4.0 update includes many changes, fixes, and a new set of gear, but most notably, players can look forward to now encountering Empress of Flame, Lunastra, in the game. Lunastra is an Elder Dragon, and unlike Kulve Taroth, which was recently introduced into Monster Hunter World, Lunastra is a returning Elder Dragon, who originally appeared in the series’ 2006 installment, Monster Hunter 2....

After having shipped over 5 million copies in its first three days of availability, there’s no doubt that the action role-playing game Monster Hunter World was set to be one of the most popular titles of 2018. Now, though, it looks as if MHW is one of the most coveted releases in Capcom’s history, as it has become the fastest title to ship 6 million units for the Japanese video game publisher and developer....

With Monster Hunter World set to release in just a few days, many fans may be in full hype mode for the upcoming title; considering it received an almost perfect score in its first review, it’s very understandable. To keep the hype train going, the full achievement/trophy list of the game has also leaked, giving some valuable insight into what the game fully entails. With 50 trophies – composed of 1 platinum, 2 gold, 11 silver, and 36 bronze – Monster Hunter World seems like a time-consuming but relatively easy game to 100%....

In a sudden and surprising move, publisher Warner Bros. has removed Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition from Steam as of March 21. The news broke Sunday morning without fanfare or meaningful comment. The Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition was simply there and then it wasn’t, with a simple notice that it had been removed at the behest of its publisher. Those who own the Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition will retain it in their libraries, but no one can buy it until it’s relisted....

With the franchise spanning over numerous mainline entries and spinoffs, Mortal Kombat has seen its fair share of antagonists over the years. From Shang Tsung and Shinnok to Quan Chi and Mortal Kombat 11 antagonist Kronika, there are several substantially evil villainous faces occupying the franchise’s universe. Perhaps the most notorious of the bunch is none other than Shao Kahn, with the brutish emperor long remaining a core staple of the series due to his reputation as an absolutely savage final boss that would give any player a run for their money....

NBA Jam is one of the all-time most memorable sports games. Played in arcades and home consoles in the ’90s, NBA Jam was a delight for sports fans and video game fans alike. Recently, the developer of the classic revealed something that NBA Jam fans have been suspicious about for some 20 plus years: the Detroit Pistons were a cheat team. Mark Turmell was the designer and lead programmer for 1993’s NBA Jam....

Although we should be getting some news on NEO: The World Ends With You in the next couple of days, we’ve actually already found out something pretty interesting about the next entry- it takes place three years after the anime. As spotted by Gematsu, game director Tatsuya Kando said that NEO takes place three years after the anime, which seems to imply that the anime will be the official canon for The World Ends With You....

You might be wondering - how does an action-packed FPS all about war crimes, shooting your friends, or even slaughtering hordes of the undead celebrate a holiday like Valentine’s Day? Easy, there’s the Top Secret Admirer bundle and new playlists full of pink and fitting names now in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. The new bundle, which costs 1,500 Cod Points, is all about Cupid, turning both a tactical rifle, the AUG, and a sniper, the Pellington 703, pink....

If you’ve been playing New Pokemon Snap then you have probably already taken dozens, if not thousands of pictures of Pokemon, with Professor Mirror throwing hundreds of those into the bin shortly after. Shame. But there’s actually a function in the game that makes it even easier to get those incredibly tight pictures, ones where Pokemon usually fly past your camera at speed, making it difficult to get the ideal shot....

Great news for fans of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, as Niantic has finally caught up and adjusted core gameplay features in a similar way to Pokémon GO that will allow for play without needing to leave the house.

The latest major addition, Darkness In The Capital, has just recently released, and with it comes plenty of new environments, bosses, and missions to undertake. One of your first priorities when exploring these new locations is finding the little Kodama spirits hidden within the level to gain access to their blessings, plus unlock a trophy or achievement for your trouble....

The Shivering Isles expansion pack for Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion was the DLC expansion pack that changed the game.

Bill Murray and Sofia Coppola are finally making a movie together again. And no we’re not talking about that bizarre A Very Murray Christmas Netflix special either. On the Rocks marks the pair’s first narrative feature collaboration in the seventeen years since Lost in Translation, and judging at least from the trailer, it looks to be very much in keeping with the melancholy detachment that colored their previous collaboration. In the new movie, Bill Murray plays Felix a successful celebrity and playboy who’s long been estranged from his adult daughter Laura (Rashida Jones)....
