Before fans get their mitts on the highly anticipated next entry in the Soul Calibur franchise they will soon be able to travel back to when the series, not counting its forefather Soul Edge, first kicked off, albeit in a much smaller format. According to a report from Andria Sang, the first Soul Calibur, the one that made its way to both the arcade and the Dreamcast, will be appearing on the iOS app store later this week....
One intrepid YouTuber jumps into Overwatch using only a DJ Hero turntable to control Lucio in a multiplayer match-up, with the results not being totally one-sided. It goes without saying that YouTube stars and Twitch streamers are always coming up with unique ways to play games, and this week a YouTuber named WhyBeAre has tackled playing Overwatch in a strange fashion. The YouTuber, who typically doesn’t show Overwatch content, took to an offline game controlling Lucio with a DJ Hero Turntable....
At Blizzcon 2017 last week, Blizzard introduced Overwatch fans to a new character named Moira, who uses orbs to drain her enemies for self-healing. Given how complex that mechanic could be, some fans are concerned Moira could make a huge impact on the current meta of the game. This week, Blizzard set the character loose on the Overwatch PTR (Public Test Region), which means she is free for anyone on PC to try....
Publisher and developer Blizzard officially announces another partnership with Funko Pop to produce even more figures for Overwatch for release in April 2017. Last year, just ahead of Overwatch’s release date in May 2016, fans of Blizzard’s team-based shooter were shown images for several figures inspired by a few of the playable heroes in the game that have since been released in a line of Pop models by the toy manufacturer known as Funko....
On January 30th, Blizzard released the latest patch notes for its ever-evolving game Overwatch, with this set of patch notes making some big changes to popular heroes Junkrat and Mercy. One of Overwatch’s most used defense heroes, Junkrat, got one big change to his Concussion Mine. His Concussion Mine will now “deal less damage to targets farther away from the explosion’s center.” Junkrat mains will now have to be more precise with their attacks and more strategic with their Concussion Mine throws....
Previous rumors have pointed towards the fact that Microsoft’s successor to the Xbox 360 will introduce a method of blocking used titles from being played. The Internet was abuzz regarding the speculation, and indeed the countless rumors pertaining to the next-generation Xbox itself. Meanwhile, talk relating to Sony’s next major console had been noticeably quiet. That came to an end, in some style it must be said, when sources recently suggested that the PlayStation 4 is known as ‘Orbis,’ and that it will include an anti-used games system....
We finally know what PC hardware you’ll need to play Baldur’s Gate III, and it’s pretty much what we expected. The PC requirements for Baldur’s Gate III have dropped on Steam after news of its Early Access release arrived yesterday. In all likelihood, you’ve probably got a machine that can handle Baldur’s Gate just fine if you’ve purchased a computer in the past year and a half or so, but even if you haven’t you should still be able to get by with some reduced graphics settings....
More than 20 years after they were essentially made obsolete by the CD, cassettes are “in” again. Unlike the vinyl revival of the decade prior, which happened in part due to the different method a record stores sound compared to the way a digital sound file does, cassettes are by most people’s estimation an inferior audio format, at least insofar as sound quality is concerned. In a world where most music is listened to digitally, however, the compact size and unique aesthetic of a tape has made it a collector’s item of sorts once again....
Today’s Monster Hunter digital event has brought big news for Monster Hunter fans, including a second demo for Monster Hunter Rise and a release date for Monster Hunter Stories 2 on Switch and PC via Steam. That release date is July 9, which gives you plenty of time to pre-order for some bonus goodies. But before we get to that, take a look at the brand new trailer that just dropped....

In case that one image wasn’t enough to convince you, more set images from Netflix’s The Witcher have emerged, this time putting to rest any doubt about The Wild Hunt’s appearance on the show. Only two days ago, we wrote about an image taken from the Witcher set in North Devon which suggested that the Wild Hunt may come to the show. While the image wasn’t very clear, the armour worn by the riders, as well as the horses looked similar to the one shown in the game and described in the original books....
With Mortal Kombat 11’s release date looming, many fans are certain to be devouring any details they can find about the upcoming fighting game. While the recent Mortal Kombat 11 beta offered a great deal in the way of information about the title, a newly leaked PlayStation 4 trophy list has even more to share. The PS4 Mortal Kombat 11 trophies were recently leaked on Reddit by user DeftonesBandPSN, a poster that has previously shared achievements for games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Kingdom Hearts 3 prior to their release....
This week’s “music sounds better with…” interview, in collaboration with Cambridge Audio, focuses on British drum and bass duo Sigma, who have seen their last two single releases top the UK charts. Cameron Edwards and Joe Lenzie have only been signed to current label 3Beat Records for little over a year but have already had great success with Nobody to Love and Changing in that time - the latter featuring Paloma Faith....
This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers. My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 10 “The time has not yet come” Patience is an extra special virtue in anime. It’s a medium, especially the shonen genre, that’s notorious for dragging out conflict. Patience is something that’s been integral right from the start of My Hero Academia since it engages in what’s ostensibly a superhero origin story. Characters like Midoriya understand that they won’t become the Number One Pro Hero overnight and that it’s a very gradual process....
My Hero Academia fans can get ready to see their favorite dubious villains in style. My Hero: One’s Justice 2 has had a slew of new DLC announcements in the past month, which does not seem to be ending any time soon. This time, Bandai Namco has announced two upcoming summer DLC items: a free-for-every-player Nomu character, and the paid Outlaw Suit Costumes set. My Hero: One’s Justice 2 mixed things up by introducing a roster of more playable villains than the first game had to offer....
Nerf is getting in on the space bounty hunting business with its latest entry into the foam-flinging firearm market. To commemorate the near overwhelming popularity of The Mandalorian on Disney+, the toy company is releasing a fully functional Nerf replica of the titular character’s pulse rifle. Maybe little Ralphie should have asked for this instead. The rifle is a full 4 feet long and is surprisingly authentic to the blaster rifle shown in the series....
It’s a great day to be a 3DS owner. In addition to a Resident Evil: Revelations demo going live on the eShop, Nintendo has released a fresh batch of details and a brand new trailer for one of Game Rant’s Most Anticipated Games of 2012, Kid Icarus: Uprising. For longtime Nintendo fans, Kid Icarus: Uprising is the clear highlight of a remarkably strong slate of early 2012 3DS releases that also includes the aforementioned Resident Evil: Revelations and Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D, among others....
The Doom franchise has had some high peaks and mighty falls in its 27-year history. While Doom: Eternal was a critical and commercial success some iterations of the franchise have performed far worse. There have been attempts to create films of the series which resulted in an ill-fated film with Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban that failed to impress critics or fans of the franchise despite a handful of nods to the original games....
There’s no doubt about it: Iron Maiden is one of the most iconic and successful bands in the history of humanity. Even though they’ve yet to be included within the hallowed chambers of Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with more than 85 million records sold worldwide over a career that has spanned 35 years, the heavy metal act has unquestionably gone on to solidify themselves in the pantheon of rock gods....
