Ever since the release of the first God of War game back in 2005, every single entry in the series, including the 2018 reboot, has been a PlayStation exclusive. For so long, no one really questioned this exclusive partnership between Sony and Santa Monica Studios, and given that all God of War games are stamped with the “Only on PlayStation” brand, the idea of seeing God of War outside PlayStation was mostly inconceivable....
Many gamers are still enjoying the recently released Halo 4, and it’s hard to think about what is next for the immensely popular franchise. The ending of the latest game left players wondering what will happen next, and the community has been abuzz with possibilities for the fifth iteration, but no one is entirely sure where the franchise will go. 343 Industries, on the other hand, has clear goals for the future, so they’ve already begun work on the next Halo title....
Until the return of randomized weapon rolls in Destiny 2: Forsaken in September, fans have had to rely on weapon catalysts and masterworks in order to make weapons feel a little more dynamic and less predictable. After being added to the game through the most recent expansion Warmind, the extremely rare exotic weapon catalysts provide another way for players to boost already powerful exotic weapons by completing certain objectives in-game. The system has proven to be pretty popular, even influencing Faction Rally events, and now Bungie has confirmed that even more exotic catalysts are coming soon....
In Nier: Automata, players are joined by their faithful little floating robot machines named “Pods”. These little guys help the player navigate around by gliding, can be used to fish, and are particularly helpful during battle. Additionally, they play a role in several parts of the storyline, depending on which route the player is taking. Players begin with a default pod available to them, but there are two others that can be found in the game....
With a new collection of some of the more recent Ninja Gaiden games being announced at Nintendo Direct, it only makes sense that we’d like to be a little better acquainted with the 3rd-person action-adventure hack-n-slash series. There are a lot of changes that have taken place in the series since its humble beginnings as a super-hard NES sidescroller. The series follows our protagonist, Ryu Hayabusa, also known as “The Ultimate Ninja”....

They have successfully breached the hearts of millions with The Switch’s simple charms. Nintendo doesn’t compete for the graphics race or the sweetest hardware, but it delivers some of the best experiences to all its users. With the Switch sales capturing 60% of the monthly market share, Nintendo overtook the Xbox One and the PS4 numbers by almost a million units in January 2020....
The Nintendo Switch has sold one million units in China. The console launched in the country a little over a year ago. China is the biggest video games market in the world. However, it takes a lot of extra effort from creators and developers to even be released in China, let alone find success. There is a big focus on mobile gaming in the country despite the success of consoles elsewhere....
Hello Games releases the latest patch for its space exploration and survival title No Man’s Sky, which provides numerous bug fixes and helps players load corrupted save files. Due to No Man’s Sky’s numerous post-launch problems such as frame rate issues, myriad game crashes, and bugs that wiped players’ planet discoveries, it’s safe to say that indie developer Hello Games has had a rough go of it since the game’s release last month, as it has been on the receiving end of plenty of negative criticism....

These demo stations in games and technology retailers allow gamers to test out the technology and experience VR gaming for themselves. After all, VR headsets like the Oculus Rift are come at a high price point, and gamers will want to be absolutely sure that buying a headset is worth it before they drop a whole load of cash on one....
It’s disheartening when a favorite MMORPG goes offline. All the hours, effort, and money players have invested into the game seem to go to waste, and all of those great quests and missions, along with the compelling and detailed lore, are lost forever. If an MMORPG is popular enough, however, or well-built, it may withstand the test of time. Some of these old MMORPGs came out over twenty years ago now, but are still available to play....
Find out how Capcom’s handling of the Resident Evil 7 Beginning Hour demo makes one Resident Evil fan less enthusiastic about the upcoming game’s full release. When it comes to video games, movies, books, TV, or any other form of media, my favorite thematic genre is horror. And one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had with the horror genre was with the terrifying Hideo Kojima-developed P.T. For the uninitiated, P....
With Overwatch 2 on the horizon, it stands to reason that the team are preparing to shift the bulk of their attention to the title. Before doing that, though, one last hero had to be added to the original’s roster: the much-ballyhooed A.I. fighting machine, Echo. As is always the case with a new Overwatch hero, it can be tough to gain XP as Echo, considering that the whole world seems to want to insta-lock her on sight....
Blizzard waves the banhammer with the latest Overwatch update by banning players who are using cheats, but some banned players are so unhappy that they want to sue the company. Since Overwatch launched on PC and consoles earlier this year, Blizzard hasn’t flinched when it comes to waving the banhammer at those who use cheats in its game. From naming and shaming cheaters with hilarious usernames, to deactivating accounts and stating clearly that it won’t overturn decisions and may not even listen to banned player’s appeals, there are no questions about how the company feels about those who use hacks to get ahead at its game....
With the recent launch of the new Overwatch League, Blizzard has cooked up a neat way to get fans tuning in to the Twitch streams of the competition. Each time players finish watching a live map, they’ll receive a single Overwatch token. Provided that gamers keep on watching and collecting the tokens, the rewards can eventually be exchanged for a cosmetic league skin. Blizzard recently introduced the league-based skins in a January patch update, with the caveat that they were only available through purchase....
After a month of teasers, Blizzard is revealing their first post-launch free character for Overwatch. Introducing Ana, support sniper and mother of Pharah.

With a new league recently released for Path of Exile, many newer players are jumping into the game for the first time. They are immediately met with a large range of skills, passives, and gearing lingo that makes the game stand apart from similar games like Diablo or Grim Dawn. The best way to learn Path of Exile is to break it down into smaller chunks and learn things one at a time....
The Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Kickstarter campaign has ended with just over two million dollars worth of funding, which is a staggering amount of money, considering the mixed reception to Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Owlcat Games added a lot of new content to Wrath of the Righteous over the course of the Kickstarter, so we’re here today to break down the aspects of the game that were funded by the generosity of fans....
The Monster Hunter series has had many elements changed in recent entries, especially with Monster Hunter Rise. The Clutch Claw and Slinger have been removed and replaced with the Wirebug mechanic. And some survival elements are gone as well, like the need to have hot and cold drinks for certain biomes. But something that remains is weapon sharpness, and knowing how to keep your weapon sharp can help get that sweet victory over the large monsters....
Monster Hunter World players on PS4 who have a Street Fighter 5 save on their system can now unlock gear based on Street Fighter hero Ryu until March 1. However, doing so isn’t quite as straight-forward as the other crossover events in the game. Instead of going to the regular quest board to unlock the Ryu armor in Monster Hunter World, players need to go to the Arena Quest Board in the Gathering Hub....
