Today is a sad day for fans of classic Need for Speed games. Those include Need for Speed Carbon, Need for Speed Undercover, Need for Speed Shift, Need for Speed Shift 2: Unleashed, and Need for Speed The Run, which will all be delisted from digital storefronts today. This comes to use directly from Need for Speed community manager Max Myrus, who broke the news on the Need for Speed subreddit....
With streaming services growing like weeds and a new one on the way this month in the form of Quibi, there’s never been more pressure on Netflix to remain our platform of choice. As a result, it’s making original TV series and movies at an accelerated pace that we can barely keep up with. There’s only so much time in the day! Please, think of us as the Dom Toretto of streaming – we live our lives a quarter mile at a time....
Hitman Absolution has had us excited since we last saw it at E3. In fact, IO Interactive made a cinematic trailer for the game and also showed off some gameplay from one of the earlier levels and it looked very promising - read our Hitman Absolution preview. Square Enix released a new Hitman Absolution teaser which showcases some interesting moments of gameplay, leading into what will be an uncut full release of the gameplay trailer to be released tomorrow....
Each new season of Destiny 2 brings a bit of excitement to players who are on the lookout for new weapons and gear including exotics. Fans love the thrill of surprise, which is why hidden quests that appeared and led to weapons like Whisper of the Worm and Outbreak Perfected have been so well received. Bungie made a big misstep last season by revealing the Bastion exotic early, which turned out to be a reward for figuring out the lengthy community puzzle inside of the Corridors of Time....
Say what you will about this year’s revamped VGX event - with its odd couple hosting, old school editing and Nintendo-based trolling — the fact remains that on a night supposedly dedicated to increasingly sidelined awards, the show produced only one standout winner. No Man’s Sky, the latest effort from Joe Danger developer Hello Games, appeared out of the murky depths of anonymity to soar well clear of its console competition....
Video game documentary studio Noclip recently sat down with Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick to discuss “The Struggles Behind Bringing Back System Shock”. Kick and Noclip founder Danny O’Dwyer talk about how the idea to reboot System Shock developed, and the multiple complications Nightdive has had to overcome so far during the process. Noclip Media was launched in 2016 for the specific purpose of creating video game documentaries, chronicling the interactive video entertainment platform along with the games and game makers who have made both into the media phenomenon it has become....
James Gunn and Peter Safran outlined the “first part of the first chapter” of the new DC movie and TV universe, simply dubbed DCU at a press conference on the Warner Bros. lot this week. Amidst a slate of projects that includes everything from Booster Gold to The Authority to Creature Commandos to a new Batman (with Robin) and much more, there was a lot of love for Superman and his world....
Hunt: Showdown is a very unique multiplayer game. It is described by Crytek, the developer, as a player vs player game inside of a player vs enemy world. It’s among the best battle royale style games, even if it doesn’t have the popularity of games like Fortnite or Apex Legends. Along with the solid PVP experience, the developer recently added a single-player Trials Mode. The Trials Mode came with update 1....
Destiny 2 players may be biding their time with the content the Season of Arrivals is providing them with, but most are keeping their eyes on the game’s next expansion, Beyond Light. The start of Year 4 is shaping up to potentially bring the biggest shakeup to Destiny yet, and players will get a better look at just how much so in just a few days. Gamescom is going digital this year, and its Opening Night Live event on August 27 looks set to be the major, E3-style showcase that’s been largely missing this year....
Nintendo has recently published a website dedicated to recruiting recent and future college graduates. The news comes at what may seem like the perfect time with COVID-19 still hurting the job search for many, especially those are just out of school. The company is no stranger to opening its door for recent graduates as they’ve been increasing their number of recruits for years now. Candidates are being hired in science and engineering, design, production planning, and within a multitude of office departments like human resources, legal affairs, accounting, and much more....

A No Man’s Sky alternate reality game (ARG) seems to suggest that the space exploration title will be getting new content in August. Developer Hello Games began sending mysterious tapes to No Man’s Sky players last month, prompting players to begin participation in the ARG. Over the past month, No Man’s Sky players and those who have spoken about the game on Reddit have received cassette tapes as part of a ARG that players are calling “Waking Titan....
Although No Man’s Sky certainly got off to a rocky start in the video game world, the title has recently been building up a stronger reputation after the release of the substantial Atlas Rises update. This update brought a huge number of changes to the space exploration game, including much-wanted multiplayer functionality and the addition of 30 hours of story content. Now, the Atlas Rises update is getting a further patch....
In an attempt to see the scale of a planet in No Man’s Sky, time-lapser TheyCallMeConor walks around half of the globe in-game in just under 12 hours. There’s no question that No Man’s Sky was one of this year’s most anticipated games. So, whether players are enjoying their time exploring each one of the 18 quintillion planets, or fans have joined the anti-Sean Murray bandwagon, it’s hard to deny that the game is at least somewhat groundbreaking in its sense of scale....
Let there be no doubt about it: in his final outing as James Bond, Daniel Craig gives his finest performance yet in the role. His 007 is a near-perfect fusion of strength, brutality, resourcefulness, humor, inner pain, and physical weariness—making the Bond of No Time to Die possibly the most layered and multi-dimensional edition of the character in the franchise’s entire 59-year run. While Bond’s never been the most complex of onscreen characters, past attempts at fleshing him out in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and Craig’s debut, Casino Royale, have been surpassed here....
With Riot Games franchising the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) from the 2021 season onwards, many teams made moves to increase their commercial viability for the South Korean domestic league. Notably, existing LCK team T1 signed popular Twitch streamer Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp as a content creator. However, an unexpected challenger was found during the application process. Enter Norway’s Omaken Sports, an organization founded by Norwegian Minecraft YouTuber Joachim “Noobwork” Haraldsen....
As far as horror games go, 2017 has seen some fairly high profile titles hit the market, including the likes of Resident Evil 7, Outlast 2, and Friday the 13th: The Game. Compared to those releases, one new horror game has flown a little under the radar, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t deserving of just as much attention from fans of the genre. Observer, a cyberpunk horror game from Bloober Team, may just be the horror game genre’s sleeper hit of 2017....
Octopath Traveler’s bespoke iteration on the wildly successful Bravely Default combat formula rewards players for planning ahead and attacking aggressively, so much so that you can make or break (pun intended) a boss fight by keeping a keen eye on weaknesses and attack initiative, even when your gear is far from ideal. That said, a good shield never hurts to have around and it sure can make each turn of yours less stressful when you can be sure that you’ll survive your enemy’s upcoming signature spell....

It has been revealed that the original Fable should have been a completely different game, one that made it far enough into development to actually be played. Fable isn’t as popular as it used to be but is still a favorite among gamers. And, with a fourth installment expected to be revealed at E3 this month, that should definitely change. The role-playing game made its way onto the scene back in 2004, bringing with it consequences for good and evil acts as opposed to many other titles which don’t punish, and even reward, negative behavior....
