Today, Xbox unleashed a flurry of new game announcements and updates during the third-party studio Inside Xbox stream. And while things may not have been as massive as some fans might have hoped, there’s still plenty of new information to look at, including some new details about Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. During the Inside Xbox stream, developer Paradox Interactive gave fans another look at the new entry in the Vampire series....

In a day and age where even laptops can have multiple monitors, like Mobile Pixels DUEX and TRIO Monitors (available on the Game Rant store in both dual and triple versions, with max sizes of both dual and triple monitors fitting up to 15.6" laptops), one has to wonder what that could mean for gaming. If a gamer recently took advantage of a Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal, the old monitor need not be thrown away but repurposed as a secondary or tertiary screen....

In collaboration with ConsoleVariations.com, a website dedicated to cataloging and preserving rare and unique game consoles, YouTube channel DidYouKnowGaming? recently put out a video that showcases the rarest Nintendo consoles ever made. Many of these consoles are one of a kind, and consequently, extremely valuable. Take the case of the N-Zone Nintendo DS, for example. The blue-painted first-gen Nintendo DS was originally commissioned by German Nintendo fanzine N-Zone as part of a giveaway contest back in 2005....

As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, more companies are taking action to ensure the safety of their customers and employees. Massive retail chain Walmart has confirmed that it will soon be requiring all customers to wear masks, or “face coverings” beginning Monday, July 20. Previously, Walmart had only been requiring its employees to wear masks. According to a statement by Walmart, about 65% of its stores were already requiring face masks due to government mandates, so this will ensure consistency across all its locations....

After months of waiting, Disney has finally revealed its reopening plans for Walt Disney World. These plans were sent to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force for review, meaning they aren’t set in stone, but if approved would see the park begin reopening on July 11th. Of course, Disney’s reopening process will be a multistage one. The plan proposes that July 11th will see the opening of Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, while the other two Disney parks, Hollywood Studios and EPCOT, will wait to reopen until the 15th....

Operation Orphix Venom has arrived, so it’s time to kill some Sentients serpents using your dumb-as-nails Necramech. Digital Extremes warned us that we’d need to invest in the Necramech system, and with Operation: Orphix Venom, those that have modded their own Necramech will reap the rewards of heeding that warning. The Orphix are Sentient serpents that have figured out a way of disabling a Tenno’s connection to their Warframe. Yes, that sounds pretty bad, but the good news is that Necramechs get around this disabling field allowing you to destroy the Orphix thanks to your scary, skull-faced mecha....

Warframe developer Digital Extremes brought both bad and good news for fans of its long-running space ninja simulator this week. The Canadian studio won’t be hosting its annual TennoCon fan expo in its hometown of London, Ontario this year due to concerns over COVID-19, marking the event’s first cancellation since its inception in 2016. However, fans will still be able to catch up with Digital Extremes’ big summer reveals for Warframe with a digital show scheduled for the same day, Saturday, July 11....

Warzone’s most recent update added sniper rifles to the Gulag which, on the surface, seems crazy for a room so small. Call of Duty has set Warzone apart from other battle royale games in a number of ways. However, the way in which it has done so that is discussed and dissected most is the Gulag. A prison to which players are sent after being eliminated where they can fight for a second chance in that round....

One Tumblr user has put together a video highlighting the various taunts in Uncharted 4 to the song ‘Cake By The Ocean’, and the end result is nothing short of spectacular. There’s little doubt amongst gamers and critics that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is one of the, if not the, best games available on PlayStation 4. As it turns out, consumers seem to agree with this sentiment, as the title managed to sell through almost 3 million units within its first week at retail....

This article contains Peacemaker spoilers. The Peacemaker finale had at least two more scenes that we’ve added to the long list of “I can’t believe they filmed that” shots this show pulled off. It also made a huge change in the status quo for the DCEU’s clandestine services. After Peacemaker, Vigilante, and the gang successfully blew up the cow WITHOUT resorting to using the Scabies Helmet, Adebayo held a press conference to set the record straight....

This piece contains spoilers for Enola Holmes 2. The first official case for young Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) starts with a missing girl: factory worker named Sarah Chapman (Hannah Dodd). But as Enola tugs at all the loose threads, she discovers mounting evidence—a missing page from the factory books, a suspicious surge of typhus, a scandalous romance—that draws the attention of the factory’s owners, Scotland Yard, and even her brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill)....

After being successfully funded on Kickstarter several times over, The Shapeshifter will also see a release on the NES in addition to the original Game Boy. Greenboy Games’ The Shapeshifter has been soaring past its milestones on Kickstarter, starting with its modest 6,000 euros goal, which was hit in just 12 hours. Following this, The Shapeshifter began surpassing its other milestones, including adding two more chapters to the game, The Ice World and The Rockfall....

Eredin Bréacc Glas, King of the Wild Hunt - now there’s an intimidating name! Do you want to know what it actually means? Eredin Green Trout. If you’ve ever seen a fish in real life, you’ll know that trout are not, in fact, green. A decent trout is about two quid at the butchers, so if you’re a discolored green one, you’ve probably been swimming in toxic waste and aren’t worth 50 cents....

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a classic game by any measure. It may have initially been released way back in 2002 for the PlayStation 2, but there are still many gamers who will tell you it is the best version in one of the most beloved video game series of all time. The combination of the setting in Vice City (Miami) and time period (the 1980s) allowed Rockstar to do things with Vice City that it had not done in previous incarnations of the GTA franchise....

Former Bungie composer Marty O’Donnell reveals that the infamous cliffhanger at the end of Halo 2 was not the way the game was originally meant to conclude. Ever since longtime Bungie composer Marty O’Donnell was fired from his position at Bungie, he has been keeping himself busy. Not only has O’Donnell started a new studio that is currently working on the PlayStation VR game Golem, but he has also been spilling the beans on some of Bungie’s most well-kept secrets....

This week, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare got a new update that gives players a long-requested increase in the ability to customize their blueprints – available now on all platforms. In last week’s Briefings, developer Stephanie Glover revealed a plan to allow players more creativity to build weapons in the armory with Gunsmith Customs, and so far the feature has enabled players to make some great-looking weapons. There is some great news for hopeful fans of the Modern Warfare remaster, as evidence mounts that we may soon be seeing multiplayer added to the game soon....

Thor: Love and Thunder begins with the image of a bald man, dehydrated and abandoned, walking through a desert with a small child limp in his arms. It’s remarkable since before this sight, our only impression of the Marvel Studios fourthquel has been marketing that’s reveled in the blithe and psychedelic. As the Love and Thunder title suggests, this is meant to be a goofy romantic comedy, with an emphasis on comedy....

CESA announced in a press release on Tuesday that Tokyo Game Show 2021 will once again be hosted online. The event will be held for four days from September 30 to October 3. This marks the second year that Tokyo Game Show has had to cancel the in-person convention and shift to an online format as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To prove that the online format of Tokyo Game Show will still exhibit the same amount of gaming content as they would in person, this year’s theme is, “Still, we have games....

Earlier today, Sony gave fans their first look at Uncharted 4 gameplay during their PlayStation Experience Keynote. The footage was trademark Uncharted, featuring returning hero Nathan Drake gallivanting through a jungle environment, albeit with some new tools (grappling hook!) at his disposal. Although the Uncharted 4 footage seemed to focus on the visuals and animation afforded by the PS4 console, Naughty Dog did have a small story tease at the end of the demo....
