Naruto is — without a shadow of a doubt — one of the most popular shōnen manga series of all time. It’s the third best-selling manga series in history, selling more than 220 million copies worldwide and capturing the hearts of millions of fans across the globe. Series writer and creator Masashi Kishimoto has created one of the most fleshed-out worlds in recent memory, and it’s no surprise that even after the original series ended its run in 2014, the franchise is still going strong with a spin-off in the form of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations....

DC Comics and Scorpion Comics are preparing to unleash a new wave of the Dark Knight’s detective work with Batman: The Detective. To commemorate issue one, God of War art director Raf Grassetti has illustrated a variant cover for the debut, and Batman’s design is every bit as menacing as it is punch-the-air cool. Batman: The Detective will see Bruce Wayne leave the gritty confines of Gotham City to take his investigation to Europe....

Elected officials in the United States have begun to weigh in on the loot box controversy and the debate of whether or not loot boxes should be considered gambling. Hawaii State Representative Chris Lee made headlines earlier this week when he introduced two bills that aimed to ban the sales of games with loot boxes to minors, and now, a United States senator has also spoken out about the issue....

Valorant currently has ten different characters, or Agents, to choose from, split into four different classes: Controller, Duelist, Sentinel, and Initiator. Brimstone falls into the Controller category and happens to be one of the most useful Agents in the game. He’s got a lot of utility to make use of, usually revolving around affecting sizeable areas with a certain effect at the same time. Let’s take a look at ten tips for getting the most out of Brimstone....

Valorant has a huge technical advantage over Overwatch, developer Riot Games confirms in a new dev diary. Riot Games’ new multiplayer shooter has been compared heavily to Overwatch and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, but this could help the game beat its two biggest rivals. In a Valorant dev diary, Riot Games confirmed that the game’s server tick-rate is 128hz. A server’s tick-rate is the rate at which the server updates the game’s state, and a rate of 128hz means that the server can do this 128 times a second....

Developer V1 Interactive has announced that its vehicular sci-fi FPS Disintegration will be shutting down its multiplayer servers on November 17, 2020. Effective across all platforms (PC, PS4, and Xbox One), the game launched not even five months ago, and the team couldn’t justify keeping the servers up for what was essentially a dead mode. “While our player base showed interest in the single-player campaign, the game, unfortunately, struggled to build a significant audience necessary for a compelling multiplayer experience,” writes the team in a blog post....

Warning: this Vigil review contains spoilers. DCI Silva needs to send a fruit basket to whoever thought to include a ‘Cancel Tube Flood Cycle’ button on Britain’s vanguard-class submarines. That one will have gone straight to the top of her personal Best Button list (my top three: Cadbury’s, R1 on a PlayStation controller, and Moon). Silva had a narrow escape from the triple nightmare of drowning in an enclosed space while screaming so loudly that everybody can see your fillings without actually making a sound....

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. After eight near-perfect episodes, the story of WandaVision has concluded with a finale installment that sticks the landing on all fronts, including multiple cinematic battles, several heartfelt goodbyes, and a long-overdue moment of agency for a heroine who has so often been denied a choice in her own future. But while “The Series Finale” is a deeply satisfying coda to what is probably Marvel’s most emotionally gratifying outing to date, it leaves us with more than a few questions about where these characters go from here....

In the months since its release, Call of Duty: Warzone has already established itself as one of the most popular battle royale games out there. Like every other game in the genre, players are expecting the Warzone map to change at some point, and all signs are pointing towards a Cold War-themed map dropping later this year. The rumors first began when a leaked video showed what appears to be unreleased Warzone footage, indicating that a brand new map, named Urzikstan, is on its way....

After the initial MAC-10 nerf, players have been experimenting with the other SMGs in Warzone to find the next best secondary. The MAC-10 nerf was enough for players to consider using other weapons at close ranges, and most of the SMGs in the game are now viable. Raven was responsive to criticism and quickly balanced the meta in Warzone. Players can finally use several underrated loadouts, and there are a few new SMGs that are top tier guns....

One of gaming’s most iconic and funny glitches seems to have returned in Watch Dogs Legion. The game just launched over the past 24 hours, but already fans have found a bug in Watch Dogs Legion that resembles one from a totally different Ubisoft game. Assassin’s Creed Unity saw mixed reviews when it launched in 2014, and part of that was thanks to the game being filled with issues and glitches....

This will be one of two expansions to the original game....

With the news that John Cena is playing Peacemaker in the upcoming James Gunn sequel, The Suicide Squad, it’s worth examining who the character is and how he got to the movie. The easy answer is he jumped backwards out of a balloon to assassinate the president, and in case you can’t tell, I’m really excited to talk about Multiversity again. WHO IS PEACEMAKER? He’s The Comedian. Seriously, Peacemaker was the character Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons based The Comedian on in Watchmen....

It’s been 15 years since the release of Darkwatch, but creators of the game have never stopped dreaming about what the universe could have become. “I miss Darkwatch every day of my life,” Darkwatch lead designer Paul O’Connor tells me. “That was our company, that was our game, that was our shot.” O’Connor is one of the four co-creators of Darkwatch and a founding member of both Sammy Studios and the company it would eventually become: High Moon Studios....

A not-so-secret surprise is now available in Forza Horizon 4: a Cyberpunk 2077 car. The Game Awards served as the stage to “officially” reveal it even though fans have known about it.
