Fortnite meets Metal Gear in the latest addition to the fan-favorite Metal Gear series: Metal Gear Survive. Considering the beta opened up yesterday and the game is set to release next month, more news seems to be opening up about the latest game. To that effect, the game has received a new trailer showing off its co-op gameplay. In the trailer, a group of soldiers quickly begin building up a base with several fortifications and traps, with creatures quickly closing in....

After making your way through maps like Sweltering Sands, Blushing Beach, and Maricopia Reef, Professor Mirror will proceed to inform you of a new location to the east of the Maricopia islands: Lental Undersea. As opposed to skirting along a beach or coasting through a reef, this new adventure will take you to the bottom of the ocean - fascinating, eh? Lental Undersea has quickly become one of my favourite regions in New Pokemon Snap, to the extent that I firmly believe this list of every Pokemon you can find there will convince anyone of how brilliant it is....

Hard Won Happiness is a request in New Pokemon Snap that can only be completed in Florio Nature Park (Night). While it doesn’t seem to matter which rank you attempt the request at, we completed it at research level three. The Hard Won Happiness request is specifically tied to Pidgeot, who you must befriend in order to mark this task as complete. While there are several steps in this interaction chain, it’s actually quite an easy request to tackle once you know what to do....

After years of stagnation, Ubisoft files for a trademark for the title 1666, which may indicate that the ill-fated 1666: Amsterdam game is finally going to be produced. The mysterious 1666: Amsterdam game has experienced a bumpy road, never even making it out of the concept stage before it was effectively cancelled by Ubisoft. However, a new listing in the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the title may indicate that it’s not dead just yet....

Ninja Gaiden is a legendary franchise. One of the classic frustrating, but rewarding, action platformers from the NES era, its intense difficulty has earned it a place in video game lore. When Ninja Gaiden was rebooted in 2004, the series shifted over to the character action genre, more in the vein of Devil May Cry or Bayonetta with a big focus on the action. With the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection bringing the reboot trilogy to modern consoles, it appears that the game is going to be upscaled nicely as some performance specs have been revealed....

In the Nintendo Switch’s recently released brawler, Ninjala, players are able to create their own characters. This character will remain theirs essentially forever. The game offers a decent bit of character customization from hair sets to different accessories and skin color. All of these changes are final, though, so beware. Players get the choice to change their character attire once they unlock the wardrobe, which is the hanger icon. They’ll then be able to unlock more the basic attire, voices, and styles of other characters through gameplay....

A Reddit post announces the “Big Things” mod for No Man’s Sky, which changes the size of plant life and terrain to make the planets feel more lush and alien. No Man’s Sky has been having a rough time since its release at the beginning of the month. No Man’s Sky players have been complaining about boring and unfocused gameplay, uninspired planet design, and frequent crashes, which has caused the title to bleed 90% of its active players since its release....

Many gamers admit to loving Wii games. A great hack & slash Wii game is No More Heroes. In this game, players control protagonist Travis Touchdown as he travels Santa Destroy on his famous motorcycle. Travis has to kill assassins so the story can continue. One of the most useful & fun side quests in No More Heroes is collecting all of the Lovikov Balls– here’s where to find every Lovikov Ball in the game....

Square Enix confirms that no worlds from the Final Fantasy series will be making their way into Kingdom Hearts 3, which will continue the franchise’s Disney location focus. The Kingdom Hearts series deserves its place in video game royalty, with the original game in the franchise counted among the best JRPGs ever made. Because of that, many gamers were excited to find out more about the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3, with fans of the franchise counting it among the most highly anticipated games of E3 2016....

Yesterday, the schedule for this year’s Tokyo Game Show, which will be held as an online event due to the coronavirus pandemic, was revealed. Many of the usual suspects will be in attendance, including Capcom, Sega, and Square Enix, but, surprisingly, Microsoft will be opening the event with a near hour long presentation. While it’s heavily suspected that Microsoft’s next-gen console, the Xbox Series X, will be releasing this November, we still don’t have an exact date or even an idea of how much it will cost....

The nightmarish supply-and-demand issues experienced by PC gamers regarding GPUs on the current market appear to not be going anywhere soon. Nvidia has just launched its RTX 3060 after rumors, and it appears that the consistent scalping will continue unabetted. The RTX 3060 released for $329, echoing the similarly low price that the rest of the Nvidia Ampere series has enjoyed. The gamers have absolutely not enjoyed it, however: an international semiconductor shortage emphasizes the difficulties multiple tech manufacturers are experiencing, further stymied by the trade war between America and China resulting in a 25% tax tacked onto tech arriving from China....

Having started its life as a simple block-building sandbox with some survival elements, Minecraft has become a many-headed beast. Even if one potential avenue or head is cut off, two or three more crop up. Given enough time, there’s no telling what this franchise could be capable of. This is especially true considering the once-condemned idea of the game receiving Oculus Rift support looks as though it could be receiving a change of wind....

Oddworld Inhabitants and Frima Studio reveal Oddworld: Soulstorm, an upcoming addition to the Oddworld series that is expected to see release in 2017. Although the 1990s saw the release of a huge number of iconic video games, the Oddworld series is often a dark horse for the most beloved franchise of the era. Both Abe’s Oddysee and follow-up Abe’s Exoddus have a special place in gaming history, finding a niche through enthralling gameplay, quirky humor, and a unique world....

Four legendary skins leak for the upcoming Overwatch event Year of the Rooster, revealing new looks for the characters Winston, Roadhog, Zenyatta, and Reinhardt. Blizzard is following up its successful Halloween and Christmas events with Year of the Rooster, which kicks off for Overwatch fans on January 24th. Blizzard has already revealed the event’s new skins for Mei and D.Va, but a Chinese player has discovered an ad for the event that seems to show off the four other legendary-tier skins fans can unlock beginning next week....

Path of Exile’s newest Delirium league contains plenty of content for RPG fans to chew through. Whether you are pushing hard Maps with this league’s Delirious fog or crafting Cluster Jewel passives for your build, this league has something for every type of player. While the league mechanic itself is a great addition to the game, this league has many issues. Fans have complained about this league’s focus on ground effects for killing players, and many argue the game’s technical performance is at an all-time low....

With winter finally over, Capcom is ready to bring in the spring season with a brand new event in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Starting on April 9, 2020, and running for a whole month, players that log into the critter hunting title will be able to take part in the “Full Bloom Fest.” There will be seasonal event quests that will dole out specific rewards, including a rather fantastic looking layered armor set....

The world might be infested by monsters in Monster Hunter World, and yet players will spend just as much time hunting rare materials as hunting monsters. Just like monsters, materials can come in a variety of types that are more or less rare, and all of them serve a purpose. From the newly added Bathycite Ore, to Malachalite Ore and Earth Crystals, you’ll need a steady supply of these items to keep your weapons sharp and armor strong for your next big hunt....

In the words of Mileena, “millions cried out for my return,” and she is right about that. The half-Tarkatan, half-Edenian princess, is one of the most popular characters from the Mortal Kombat franchise. When Mortal Kombat 11 was released, she was nowhere to be seen, but she eventually returned through DLC. In her many appearances, Mileena has boasted some gory, shocking, and brutal finishers. Over the years, she has gained popularity for multiple reasons, her story, origins, and maniacal nature being huge parts of it....

Mortal Kombat 11’s Aftermath expansion will launch on May 26, bringing with it plenty of new content for fans of the fighting game to dig into. Arguably the highlight of the Aftermath expansion is the inclusion of three new DLC characters, Fujin, RoboCop, and Sheeva. RoboCop has been getting the most publicity when it comes to the new Mortal Kombat 11 DLC characters, but NetherRealm has shown Fujin some love too, releasing one of his intro videos....
