Every open world released in Warframe comes with a whole host of new Mods and items to use. The Plains of Eidolon brought Archwing launchers and flyable Dargyns, Orb Vallis introduced players to K-Drives, and now the Cambion Drift has introduced the player base to mech suits. Known as Necramechs, these mechanical suits bring a new suite of weapons and abilities for players to use. As with other summonable modes of traversal, they can be equipped with a wide range of Mods to suit any playstyle....

Early critical response to Watch Dogs 2 suggests that the sequel exceeds its predecessor, even though its multiplayer functionality isn’t ready for launch day. The original Watch Dogs, released in 2014, was a solid game that didn’t exactly set the world alight. It was clear from the outset that Ubisoft intended for it to start a franchise, but Watch Dogs 2 would have to be a marked improvement over its predecessor for this to come to pass....

Since Godzilla debuted in theaters in 1954, the giant monster has become one of the most enduring (and endearing) Kaiju in cinematic history. Now, the King of the Monsters is the subject of a new theme park attraction that has officially opened to the public in the city of Kobe, Japan. Awaji Island Anime Park originally scheduled the Godzilla attraction to open in the summer, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the debut until October....

Set in the same universe as Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood is out today for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. I admittedly don’t know much about the world or lore of World of Darkness, but immediately upon seeing the reveal for Earthblood last year, I knew for damn sure that it was a game I wanted to play. Werewolves taking on an evil corporation that utilizes giant mech suits with chainsaw and rocket arms?...

What Does Deep Q-Networks Mean? Deep Q Networks (DQN) are neural networks (and/or related tools) that utilize deep Q learning in order to provide models such as the simulation of intelligent video game play. Rather than being a specific name for a specific neural network build, Deep Q Networks may be composed of convolutional neural networks and other structures that use specific methods to learn about various processes. Techopedia Explains Deep Q-Networks The method of deep Q learning typically uses something called general policy iteration, described as the conjunction of policy evaluation and policy iteration, to learn policies from high dimensional sensory input....

Encodya - the point-and-click adventure from developer Chaosmonger Studio - tells the bleak and emotional story of Tina, a nine-year-old orphan, and her robot SAM-53, as they navigate the dangerous streets of the dystopian Neo-Berlin. In a new featurette on YouTube - the third of which from a series of developer videos - Encodya Chief Developer, Nicola Piovesan, explains how the game is based on his critically-acclaimed short film, Robot Will Protect You - which Piovesan directed....

The Harley Quinn animated series has finally arrived on the DC Universe streaming service. Boasting a rapid-fire jokes-per-minute ratio that would shame nearly any other comedy on TV, and having…no actual shame at all about anything whatsoever, Harley Quinn is unlike anything you’ve ever known to be associated with the DC brand. Sure, we all already knew that Joker is a terrible, abusive boyfriend and that Batman is a stuck-up fascist tool, but did you know that Commissioner Gordon is an overcaffeinated wreck who desperately craves Batman’s attention or that Poison Ivy keeps a foul-mouthed Venus flytrap that sounds suspiciously like J....

The Journey To Batuu game pack marks a huge first for The Sims 4. It’s a crossover project and brings the Star Wars franchise into the much-loved life simulator. However, the announcement was met with mixed reviews, with many skeptical about what the pack would involve and if it would have replay value. With such a niche theme, this is a pack that very much feels unique. The main gameplay is completely separate from anything else in the game and as such it is a pack you can skip without it feeling like you’re missing out....

Important choices are crucial parts of all video games. What separates them from other forms of media, like movies and books, heavily pertains to the ability to affect the world in some way. Whether for righteous or selfish reasons, the player is the one who should be at the helm of all digital adventures. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has great examples of player decisions which not only feel satisfying and appropriate but also ones that have a profound impact on the world....

In most cases, an actor being cast as a character without a name doesn’t signal great things for the career. Nobody’s queuing up for an autograph from ‘woman in lift’ or ‘angry hot dog customer 2’. Jamie Dornan’s lead role in BBC crime thriller The Tourist bucks that trend. In the six-part series, Dornan plays “The Man”, a nameless (at least to begin with) Irishman who loses his memory when his car is forced off the road in the Australian desert....

Previously, it seemed as if the fate of the Walking Dead Final Season hung in the balance, but thanks to Skybound Entertainment, Episode 3: Broken Toys is finally here. It’s worth highlighting that, at the time of Telltale’s closure, Episode 3 was nearly complete and it shows. This episode, more so than the previous two entries, is a refined experience that strikes a unique balance between tried-and-true Telltale story-telling, intense action, and a stand-out direction for the game....

After confirming The Walking Dead: Season 3 last year, Telltale Games reveals that the latest season in the popular point-and-click zombie series is coming in 2016. After Telltale Games announced The Walking Dead: Season 3 at last year’s SXSW, the developer followed the reveal up by stating that a 2015 launch wasn’t happening. No release window details have been issued since, but based on the recent comments from Telltale Games CEO Kevin Bruner, it appears that gamers will be getting The Walking Dead: Season 3 sooner than expected....

As a concept, the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise is something I both love and hate at the same time. On one hand, it’s a killer idea with a charismatic villain, awesome set pieces, dark humor, and over-the-top violence. On the other hand, it’s a completely broken idea. The fact that it’s a franchise makes it completely hollow. As great a villain as Freddy can be – and it says a lot that a child murderer was somehow celebrated as an ’80s icon – he inherently breaks the story....

When you first turn on The White Lotus, you’re going to notice that you’re watching a TV show quite unlike any other you’ve seen for one specific reason. No, we’re not talking about Murray Bartlett’s exasperated Armond taking a dump in a hyper-privileged guest’s luggage. And no, we’re not talking about the same Armond who got to enjoy the sensual creases of Lukas Gage’s ass while performing a rim job in front of God and everyone....

The CW has continued its recent cutbacks in content, and neither The Winchesters nor Walker: Independence have been given back orders for full seasons, meaning their freshman seasons will remain at just 13 episodes. Both shows are prequels to some of The CW’s bigger hits in recent years. The Winchesters is a prequel to Supernatural, following the lives of John (Drake Rodger) and Mary Winchester (Meg Donnelly) back in the ’70s and exploring their demon-hunting origins....

CD Projekt Red rose to stardom after it finished developing the highly popular Witcher video game trilogy. By the release of the third installment, the developer had set a benchmark for fantasy RPGs. The games themselves are based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels. They detail the story of Geralt of Rivia, who is a monster slayer for hire. While the games are based on the books, they actually take place after the source material....

Game developer CD Projekt Red puts out an official teaser trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s forthcoming DLC, Blood and Wine, which reveals its release date. Following a release date rumor from fans implying that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s second expansion is set to drop at the end of this month comes CD Projekt Red’s official announcement of Blood and Wine’s availability by way of a wonderful new teaser trailer for the content....

Mad Catz looks to be in dire straights as several senior executives abandon ship ahead of their quarterly financial report, prompting a massive drop in stock value. When it was announced that Mad Catz would be co-publishing Rock Band 4 with Harmonix, many assumed that this was the company’s Hail Mary effort to put some wind back into its proverbial sails. However, even then Mad Catz ended up having to secure extra funding just to get the game published, and an audit of their finances showed that if the game wasn’t a massive success, the company may have to cease operations altogether....

There is quite a bit going on this week in the world of Call of Duty. First, a leak by a source backed by Eurogamer’s own sources claims that the next game in the series to release this fall would be called Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. If true, this would shift the game back towards an older, historical setting and away from the futuristic stories seen recently....

Currently, the Xbox One marketplace is offering tons of deals across various games and services. While today marks the last chance for a great deal towards Game Pass, a number of popular indie games, as well as Xbox 360 backwards compatible titles, have been marked down this week. Arguably the best deal available this week on Xbox One involves Xbox Game Pass, the company’s gaming subscription service. Today is the last day for users to get three months worth of Game Pass for just $1....
