Add another horror game coming to PlayStation 5, as In Sound Mind has now officially been announced for the next-generation console. The PS5 confirmation came via the Youtube description of In Sound Mind’s newest trailer, released as part of the PC Gaming Show 2020 presentation. While In Sound Mind is certainly worth looking forward to, the psychological horror game still needs some time in development. The game is planned to release some time in 2021....

EA Sports recently revealed its Madden NFL 20 player ratings. Some NFL stars are no doubt happy with their Madden NFL 20 ratings, like cover athlete Patrick Mahomes, who has the highest quarterback rating at 97. However, Madden NFL 20 can’t rate all players highly, and so there are understandably some who are unhappy with their ratings in the upcoming game. Since EA Sports released the Madden NFL 20 player ratings, there has been a variety of reactions from NFL stars on social media....

Nier Replicant commits what I’ve always thought to be one of the bigger sins in game design by asking me to go through excessive amounts of backtracking. Some of my favorite games commit the crime — titles like Devil May Cry 4 immediately come to mind. But with Replicant, I’m a little more forgiving, and by the time I was reaching the game’s newest ending, I realized Yoko Taro had talked me into doing it again and again, with no complaints....

Those who want to play Nintendo’s upcoming Legend of Zelda before anyone else will very literally have to be first in line… or at least one of the first 500. Nintendo is giving 500 fortunate fans the chance to be the first to play the upcoming Legend of Zelda title this June at its New York store. June 11 marks what is being called “Super-Fan Signup Day”, an event where the first 500 Nintendo fans in line will be given the opportunity to test out The Legend of Zelda before anyone else....

The third annual Canadian Videogame Awards takes place in less than a month and the nominees for this year’s awards were unveiled earlier this week. With a growing presence of developers in Canada, and bigger titles taking advantage of Canada’s talent, 2011’s nominees list features an increased number of high profile console releases, downloadables and mobile apps, including key triple-A releases. Mass Effect 2 took home the big awards at the 2011 awards and this year, Ubisoft headlines the nominees list with multiple nominations for Assassin’s Creed Revelations, Assassin’s Creed Recollection, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, Just Dance 3 and Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012....

She is the Bride of Dracula. That is what they whispered whenever Florence Balcombe Stoker stepped into public view. Once an ethereal beauty whose features could capture Oscar Wilde’s imagination, if not his true ardor, the widow of author Bram Stoker spent the final decades of her life being haunted by her husband—but not his ghost; it was his vampire that refused to give her rest. Today, Florence is chiefly remembered as the architect behind what some might call the greatest act of attempted vandalism in cinematic history....

Fortnite’s biggest tournament yet will officially begin on November 30th, 2018, and some of the game’s biggest names failed to qualify. Fortnite has now become so big that it is more than just a mere video game. Hard to explain that to someone who doesn’t play, but those of you who have been drawn in know exactly what we mean. There are a lot of you too. At last count, Fortnite had 8....

One of the most exciting things about new gaming hardware is having great looking new titles that show off the extra performance.

For a limited time, anyone who buys an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090, RTX 3080, RTX 3070, or a pre-built PC with one of the new cards, will get a free download copy of the upcoming Ubisoft title Watch Dogs Legion....

After going hands-on with thatgamecompany’s next title, Journey, at E3 2011, for which the developer received a nomination for Best Original Game, we’ve kept a watchful eye on the game - eager for a chance to play the final release. Last week, we were treated with official confirmation that Journey would be launching on March 13th via the PSN but, despite following the title for nearly two years, we still know very little about what to expect - not a surprise given the auteur style of thatgamecompany (Flower, Fl0w) who consistently push boundaries in the industry....

The Call of Duty League’s inaugural season recently concluded with Dallas Empire’s dominating victory in the finals, and teams are already making changes to their rosters. Los Angeles-based OpTic Gaming’s Call of Duty team has announced it will be releasing four players, including one member of its starting line-up. Succeeding in Call of Duty’s fiercely competitive esports scene demands stellar performances, and OpTic had a rough start in the 2020 season....

Although Blizzard has yet to officially declare whether or not Overwatch will be receiving a summer event this year, a truly dedicated fan of the game recently datamined the title to find files that indicate that the newly added character Doomfist is set to receive at least one skin for a currently unconfirmed Summer Games function. Should the trove of information be accurate, the gauntlet-wielding warrior will be receiving four cosmetics for the seasonal event, and will eventually get 71 cosmetics in total....

While Overwatch boasts many great skins for its cast of characters, it is hard to argue against Mercy having some of the best. With her base design being so easy to build special outfits off of, Blizzard has made many memorable skins for the Overwatch hero — and the community has done the same. Previous Mercy skin concepts saw her getting a special, fan-made Valentine’s Day makeover, with the skin gaining appreciation due to just how intricately designed it was....

Blizzard’s team based hero shooter Overwatch has captured the interest of fans with its detailed maps and need for strategic tactics since its launch in 2016. Not only are players exploring classic maps to find hidden glitches or secrets to help them in their next fight, but some users have begun to look at the newer maps, such as Havana, which went live in May 2019. Havana is an escort based map for Overwatch that seems very straightforward, but can turn into a hard fought battle very quickly....

The update not only adds over 100 new items into the popular loot boxes, but it also introduces a new PvE mode, expanding upon concepts first introduced in the well received Junkenstein’s Revenge....

HNLPacesetter has been accused of hacking in Call of Duty: Warzone during a $1000 2 v 2. The YouTuber who posted the video stated that his movement was incredibly questionable - not checking any corners, running straight down main roads blindly, and then hunting a player he and his friend had not actually seen before killing him. These actions scream that he isn’t wary of his surroundings, something unusual for a game as slow-paced and hesitant as Warzone in the quiet in-between patches....

Thanks to the high quality of the content found in the base game, and due to Capcom’s continual support with unique events and gear, there’s no doubt that Monster Hunter World deserves its spot on our list for the best role-playing games of 2018. Now, continuing its near-constant updates for the title, Capcom has decided to provide even more crossover content to the action-RPG with the introduction of some fresh Assassin’s Creed-themed armor and gear....
