A new Silent Hill game has been teased by a popular manga artist. There had been rumors that Sony was looking to buy the Castlevania, Silent Hill, and Metal Gear series from Konami, but Konami denied that such a deal was happening. On Instagram and Tumblr manga artist Suehiro Maruo, who is known for his violent horror creations and for making art in the erotic grotesque style, posted two images that had Silent Hill fans feeling excited....
It’s been nearly six years since Ubisoft’s popular stealth action franchise, Splinter Cell, has last been seen, prompting fans to continue to seek answers as to when the series may return. Even after the surprising reveal that series protagonist Sam Fisher, and original voice actor Michael Ironside, was joining Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands for a short time last year, no announcements or news has come out regarding a potential new entry....
Controversial game Rape Day has been promptly removed from Steam by Valve, despite its claim that it would feature titles focused around pretty much anything. Just like movies, TV shows, and any form of entertainment, really, video games have been blamed for violent acts and behavior almost as long as they’ve been around. In fact, games tend to share a much larger portion of that blame. Probably because the consumer is actively taking control and performing those acts themselves rather than just watching them unfold....
Since the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater back in 1999, Tony Hawk has without a doubt become the face of skateboarding video games. From the Underground series to the release of American Wasteland, the vast majority of the titles toting his name have gone on to become bonafide cult-classics in their own right, with large communities dedicated to still playing and enjoying the fast-paced skating classics years after their release....
One of the central and mysterious figures of The Witcher 2 is the Kingslayer. This bald-headed behemoth and fellow witcher is protagonist Geralt of Rivia’s main focus throughout the story, and from the outset, CD Projekt RED has promoted several trailers highlighting the Kingslayer’s impact. Today, the Polish developer has released a new Xbox 360 video trailer which provides some insight into the Kingslayer’s mindset. For the uninitiated, witchers are powerful mutants capable of taking on multiple opponents in combat and are renown for their monster-slaying capabilities....
This article contains spoilers for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. There will never be another Wes Craven. A filmmaker with an eclectic palate, this horror maestro had a special touch for creating terrors that have stood the test of time. Ghostface in Scream, the horrible inbred freaks in The Hills Have Eyes, and just whatever Shocker was supposed to be (okay… not all of them were winners). Yet one beast stands tall above all the rest: He wears a dirty brown hat, has a burnt face, and knives for fingers....
The world certainly seems to have it out for you in Nioh 2, and the Darkness In The Capital DLC only reinforces that with tougher missions and bosses to contend with. Aside from your own skill, gear, and strength of will, the only other person, or rather creature, you can always count on are the trusty Kodama. These little guys will happily buff you on your current mission, but only if you’re able to find them first....
No Man’s Sky fans are in a tizzy today after Hello Games surprise-dropped news of an impending update that will arrive next week. It’s called Origins, and nobody knows what it’s about, but everyone wants to find out so badly that it actually crashed No Man’s Sky’s website. It all started earlier this morning when the real Sean Murray dropped a single tweet of an orange emoji. This sent the No Man’s Sky subreddit into a fit of orange-themed memes that is still raging as of the time of this writing....
No Man’s Sky is plagued with issues on PC but, while we wait for a fix, here are some things that players can do to help improve their game’s performance. Despite being subject to several delays, including a last minute announcement that the PC version of No Man’s Sky would release a few days after the PS4 copies, there’s no denying that the best-selling, space exploration title is broken for PC gamers....
There is a lot to do in the fourth Elder Scrolls game, Oblivion. From all of the different factions to join to all the different Easter eggs to find. Some of the best content the game has to offer are the Daedric quests. Before you can undertake a quest for one of the mysterious Daedras, you first have to find the shrine associated with that Daedra, identified by a pointing holy statue icon....
To outsiders, Only Connect can be a punchline. They see it as the impossible quiz show – tough, smug and incomprehensible to anybody whose photo wasn’t in the local paper for passing A-level maths aged nine. Its host makes weird jokes, its questions may as well be in another language, and its contestants are nerds who probably cut their own hair. A line in an episode of Sky comedy Breeders typifies the stance when a parent tells their child that no, they can’t be home-schooled because then they’d end up on Only Connect....
At last Thursday’s virtual Game Awards, BioWare debuted a teaser of a new Mass Effect game, featuring Dr. Liara T’Soni, an Asari researcher born in 2077, who is dedicated to studying Prothean technology and culture in an effort to understand the extinction of the Protheans, an ancient galactic civilization that lived 50,000 years before. She also has the ability to “manipulate dark energy and create mass effect fields through the use of electrical impulses from the brain,” according to BioWare....

It isn’t often that Blizzard makes a change and then quickly goes back on it, but such was the case this week in Overwatch. A recent buff to Overwatch’s Moira that Blizzard had begun testing on the Player Test Range created so much controversy among players that it has already been reversed. The Overwatch community is known for being passionate and vocal, and Blizzard, to its credit, usually listens. In this case, players already find Moira tough to target due to her advanced mobility, and the recent update pushed it over the edge....
Overwatch fans logging into the game should all now be able to play as Sombra, the hacking hero with serious sabotage skills and a rather mean machine pistol. Overwatch fans who have been eagerly awaiting for the release of Sombra need not wait any longer, as Blizzard has now officially released the character on all platforms. In the new update, players will also be able to take a look at the new Antarctica map, the new arcade mode, and experience a veritable mountain of balancing updates....
Overwatch is full of unique heroes to play as, from the movable turret Bastion to Lucio, the support hero that uses music to heal allies. Torbjorn is another one of these unique Overwatch heroes, though a frustrating glitch is making him much harder to play on a certain map. World’s richest man Elon Musk should be disappointed to learn that his favorite Overwatch hero is not working as intended, with the issue at hand being tied directly to Torbjorn’s turrets....
Overwatch’s next official seasonal event, Halloween Terror, is launching today and includes an assortment of new cosmetics as well as a cooperative Brawl mode. As last night’s leak teased, Overwatch’s next big seasonal event has officially launched.

For the next 20 days though, players will have the privilege of earning new cosmetics from the limited time jack-o-lantern Loot Boxes, or participating in the special Junkenstein’s Revenge co-op Brawl....
At Blizzcon, Blizzard revealed a brand new support hero for Overwatch, and fan reception to her has been overwhelmingly positive. The new character is a Talon geneticist named Moira O’Deorain, and she packs the ability to siphon life from her enemies, deliver it to her allies, and use her Talon associate’s Fade ability to quickly teleport around the map. In short, she’s certainly an Overwatch hero to watch out for....
Activision Blizzard may have taken quite a hit following its recent decision to lay off up to 800 employees despite boasting a record financial year, but that clearly hasn’t slowed it down. The company is already prepping for a new bunch of updates for Destiny and is now potentially teasing a brand new character for Overwatch, in the form of a piece of lore and a very brief teaser video....
