If you’re just getting into VR with the Oculus Quest 2, you may not be aware that there is a thriving aftermarket of upgradeable parts and pieces for VR headsets. The Quest 2 is a fantastic device, but it definitely isn’t perfect. The $299.99 price point is unbeatable, but to get there, some pretty obvious corners were seemingly cut. If you’re looking to make some improvements to the stock facial interface, look no further than VR Cover....

We have reached the end of the tapes on pawntakespawn.com, and if yesterday was a surprise, today is beyond words. Players found the final bunker in Call of Duty: Warzone connected to the videotapes. Inside of that bunker was a nuclear missile and a picture of our beloved Captain Price. Black Ops Alternate Reality Game Overview For the past five days, gamers have been going to pawntakespawn.com to watch videotapes of events that happened during the Cold War....

This article contains nothing but spoilers for the first episode of HBO’s Watchmen. We have a completely spoiler free review right here. HBO’s Watchmen is a sequel to the classic comic book story by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. That’s right, it’s a sequel, not an adaptation of the original work. And yes, you’ll note that we said it’s a sequel to the book and not Zack Snyder’s movie, which was faithful to the broad strokes of the book save for a handful of details....

I am hesitant to refer to the player avatar in Human Fall Flat as a human. Yes, it’s a humanoid, certainly, with a head, two arms, and two legs, but to say that is all that constitutes a “human” is inaccurate. It certainly doesn’t look like any human I’ve ever met, and its mannerisms resemble something pretending to be human more than humans themselves. As such, I feel it’s closer to an amalgamation of gelatinous alien material that has fused together into a humanoid shape in order to fit into the human world....

It’s been a big week for Grand Theft Auto fans. The long-awaited heists released on Tuesday, and after an initial hiccup in the GTA Online service, the heists are now available for players to run. After a year and a half way, we’re happy to report that the heists are quite enjoyable, though we definitely would have liked to receive them earlier. For those who are running the heists this weekend, be sure to check out our guides for the Fleeca Bank heist and the Prison Break heist....

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood is not the first attempt at creating a video game from the popular World of Darkness tabletop roleplaying system, but at first glance that wouldn’t be clear. With a rich setting, pre-existing lore, and one of history’s most iconic monsters, it would seem like it shouldn’t be difficult to make a great game out of this, but unfortunately that is exactly what happened. While Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood has the makings of a great game, it falls short in a few major ways....

DC has announced their biggest summer crossover since Dark Nights: Death Metal: Joshua Williamson and Daniel Sampere’s Dark Crisis, which will kick off with a #0 issue for Free Comic Book Day. But exactly what Dark Crisis is remains a bit of a mystery beyond some lovely teaser art and a promotional video. Dark Crisis looks like it springs right out of Williamson’s multiversal revision from Justice League Incarnate. In the fourth issue of that series, we get a reconfigured, welded-together history of the DC Universe that slaps every crisis – from the classic Wolfman/Perez joint, through Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, 52, Final Crisis, Multiversity, Doomsday Clock, and the Metal Wars – onto one coherent timeline....

The Sims 4 continues to grow with the upcoming expansion pack, Cottage Living, taking you to the picturesque village of Henford-on-Bagley. Your Sims can embrace rural life and all it entails including raising animals, growing crops, gossiping with neighbors, and attending village events. When entering this new world, the first thing you’ll notice is the clear British influence. So much so that the rolling hills, animal sheds, quaint pub, and duck ponds evoke memories of my own upbringing in rural England....

Whenever new content is released for The Sims 4, it can be difficult to judge its value. Often, the amount of enjoyment you get from an expansion pack will be very dependent on how you play the game, and opinions can change over time, especially if a pack ends up being neglected after a while. When I first saw Eco Lifestyle my concern was that it would be a pack that had limited appeal....

Fans of The Sims 4 have been very vocal in expressing their disappointment with some of the content packs developer Maxis has chosen to prioritize recently. One of the features players have long clamored for is more variety in the skin tone options for their Sims, particularly darker tones that currently have a tendency to look chalky or ashy. It seems that, in this regard at least, fans may soon receive their wish....

The Witcher 3 has cemented its reputation as one of the greatest video games ever made — a notion that has definitely become even more widespread than before with the release of the Netflix series that boosted the popularity of the franchise as a whole. The title is the closest any AAA game has probably come to perfection, with everything from the story to the combat excelling in every way, shape, and form....

One would be hard-pressed to find a game that is just as narratively rich and in-depth as The Witcher 3, which is widely considered by many to still be one of the finest video games ever released even after all these years. CD Projekt Red completely knocked it out of the park with the final title in a trilogy that had already been picking up an incredible amount of steam. The Witcher 3 was the perfect sendoff for Geralt and his friends, capping off an epic story in a rather satisfying manner....

Part of a gamer’s joy when playing any sequel is being reunited with favorite characters from prior games in the series. Unfortunately, just because a character survives through a game doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll make an appearance in its sequel, and fans are sometimes left pining. Given the nature of The Witcher series, it’s understandable that not all characters from The Witcher and The Witcher 2 could possibly appear in the third game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt....

THQ and developer Kaos Studios’ Homefront - with its quasi-visionary premise and future-North Korean invasion stroyline that had shades of Red Dawn - was one of the darker military first-person shooters released in 2011. But even though it almost succeeded in crafting real moments of poignancy within a quality FPS, our Homefront review noted how the second half of the the game became increasingly lackluster; its narrative essentially epitomized the developers themselves: an inspired, but ill-equipped-for-the-long-haul studio going up against then-gaming superpowers Call of Duty: Black Ops and EA’s Battlefield series....

While THQ’s plan to release MX vs. ATV at a cheaper price and then make the rest of the retail price off through DLC didn’t pan out, they are trying again with one of their other popular franchises: Saints Row. Announced by THQ’s Brian Farrell is the publisher’s plan to provide Saints Row: The Third purchasers with content for up to 40 weeks after the release of the game. Whether or not this content will be substantial, how much it will cost, and what type of DLC they are aiming to provide is unclear, but we anticipate there will be a combination of crazy vehicles, weapons, and perhaps some missions....

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands (a D&D-inspired RPG spin-off of the Borderlands franchise) is shaping up to be one of the most entertaining shooters of the year. Actually, if the exceptional Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep DLC this game is clearly based on is any indication, this could just be one of the best Borderlands games ever. While everyone will have a chance to see whether Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands lives up to the hype when the game is finally released on March 25, some gamers may have the chance to play the shooter slightly earlier than others due to the title’s somewhat staggered release time schedule....

Titanfall 2 is adding a special one versus one game mode, accessible only through exclusive tickets included with purchases of Doritos and Mountain Dew. Update: A representative for Electronic Arts has sent us an official statement regarding the Titanfall 2 Coliseum tickets: – “Anyone can earn Coliseum tickets just by playing multiplayer, but they are also available through the Mountain Dew and Buffalo Wild Wings promotions.” One of Titanfall 2’s competitive online multiplayer modes has just been announced, but the source of the announcement may come as a surprise....

Specific addresses were attacked and Twitch affiliate streamer Angry Roleplayer, claims that at least 20 million IP’s and IP gates have been blocked so far. According to Reuters, in a statement made by the Head of Roskomnadzor, Alexander Zharov, the group “have currently informed both companies that a significant number of IP addresses located in the clouds of these two services have fallen under the block on the basis of the court ruling (to block Telegram)”....

While Fortnite may be losing its spot as the most popular game on Twitch, it’s still one of the streaming site’s biggest draws. In fact, some Twitch streamers have made significant money by streaming the popular battle royale game, but aspiring streamer Exotic Chaotic has struggled. That is, until his friend KingMascot donated a whopping $75,000 to him during a livestream. KingMascot, who has made significant money by investing in Bitcoin and the stock market, donated $75,000 to Exotic Chaotic because he was aware of his friend’s financial struggles....
