Just a couple of days ago, the developers at Respawn Entertainment provided fans with an update about some forthcoming pieces of post-launch content in the Monarch’s Reign patch for Titanfall 2 by detailing the new titular Titan known as Monarch, as well as the game’s next map to be added, Relic. Now, the studio has officially released a trailer for the mech unit’s impending inclusion with footage that shows off how it will fare on the battlefield....

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 Remake has landed on current-gen consoles, bringing along all the 1990s nostalgia that players can handle. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 Remake is one of the most highly-anticipated games of Fall 2020 for several reasons, including the cheats and mods that players can unlock by completing the whole game. One of the levels players have to complete is the School level....

It’s been a troubling time for video game developer and publisher Ubisoft. From the game-breaking issues of Assassin’s Creed Unity and Tetris Ultimate, controversy surrounding the free DLC (that was being used to apologise for Unity’s problems) and the Unity patches that made some things even worse, gamers have had plenty of reasons to complain. But amongst these crises, open-world shooter Far Cry 4 managed to do just fine. Admittedly there were some problems with the PS3 version of the game but for the most part Far Cry 4 was reviewed well by critics and gamers alike....

This article contains major Us spoilers. In the final moments, he is having flickering doubts of who his mother is, but his suspicions are not nearly so dire as those experienced by the audience. For as this is occurring, we witness crosscuts to the first scene and get a confirmation that only the most astute viewers guessed: The Adelaide we’ve been following the whole film is not the little girl who got lost in the opening sequence....

Last week Valheim reached a peak of nearly 400,000 concurrent players on Steam, blowing past other big games like Grand Theft Auto 5 and PUBG. The survival game is still only in Early Access and yet it continues to increase its player base. Valheim sold 3 million copies in its first 17 days, and players are quickly figuring out all the game has to offer. Modders are already experimenting with creations in Valheim, and one modder has drawn inspiration from the classic fantasy series, Lord of the Rings....

As a surprise to no one, Valheim remains a top seller on Steam for the fourth week in row. It will be equally as unsurprising when it stays in the top spot for weeks to follow, given that it’s sold more than four million copies already, and it’s popularity has only grown. Valheim is an early access indie survival game that is inspired by Viking culture. The game is open world, and it can be played as single player or co-op PvE....

If a new patent is anything to go by, Valve is taking another crack at the “Steam Controller.” Roughly five years ago, Valve unleashed its own take on the gamepad for use with its digital distribution service Steam. Created with haptic feedback trackpads to better mimic mouse movement, the peripheral never quite took on with gamers. Its unconventional design is likely the main culprit there. As discovered by PCGamesN, Valve’s recently filed patent notes that the second iteration of the Steam Controller will feature swappable components similar to Microsoft’s Xbox Elite gamepad....

Something that impresses me with a superhero movie like Venom is when it doesn’t rush directly into the expected villain. When there are four different Fantastic Four movies, and they’re all about emphasizing Dr. Doom, it’s a breath of fresh air when, say, Man of Steel only makes an Easter egg reference to Lex Luthor instead of going directly for that confrontation. The MCU Spider-Man has yet to meet an Osborn, guys like Thanos and Darkseid started out as ominous benefactors, and the existence of Heath Ledger Joker was merely a cliffhanger tease in Batman Begins....

Void Bastards can seem like a pretty intimidating game at first. In this first person roguelike, you play as a number of prisoners stranded in the middle of the deepest reaches of space, and are forced by a bureaucratic, very British A.I. to get your prison ship up and running again. This unfortunately requires you to guide the various unlucky convicts through ships filled with glowing mutated baddies. That’s why we’re going to help you through your horrifying space adventure....

When most think of Warhammer 40K, they think of giant soldiers in power armor fighting hundreds of Orks. These super-human soldiers are Space Marines, and are the poster child of the Warhammer 40K universe. From tabletop to video games, Space Marines are instantly recognizable amongst casual to hardcore fans. Their time in the spotlight has resulted in lots of lore expansion for the faction. The color of their armor, the weapons they use, and how they behave in combat have all been explained through the lore that many casual fans don’t know about....

One of the best features of Call of Duty: Warzone is the ever-changing environment. From randomized circles to spontaneous loadout drops, the game offers tons of variation in the battle royale formula. Warzone objects have a tendency to not always follow directions with these random spawns, resulting in some interesting situations. It was not too long ago that players noticed that Warzone supply choppers would spawn under the map resulting in unexpected deaths....

Watch Dogs senior producer Dominic Guay reveals that the original Watch Dogs’ visual downgrade was because the developer didn’t know enough about the PS4 and Xbox One. When Ubisoft’s open world hacking game Watch Dogs was released on PC and consoles in 2014, one of the biggest controversies to surround the game was that its visuals had been downgraded from the game’s impressive E3 2012 reveal. As charted in this video on Ubisoft’s history of visual downgrades, although the E3 demo of the sandbox title wowed viewers with its lighting and animations, along with crowded settings, the actual retail version of the game wasn’t nearly as good-looking or realistic....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. And so we arrive at the best Epic Bond of the lot. A great big chocolate fudge sundae of a film with extra waffles and butterscotch ice cream. It begins by making a parachute iconic and cracks on from there. Boasts a henchman, car, and girl to rival Goldfinger, and a villainous scheme even more deranged than You Only Live Twice. Nuclear Armageddon meets Finding Nemo – what’s not to like?...

Emotional rollercoaster The Suicide of Rachel Foster, is releasing for PS4 and Xbox One on August 26. A suspenseful trailer was released alongside the announcement. In this tense story, the main protagonist Nicole must return to a place of anguish - the hotel that her parents owned before they died in Lewis and Clark County, Montana. Ten years before the events of the game, Nicole’s father had an affair with her best friend, Rachel....

Warning: contains spoilers for House of the Dragon episodes 1 and 2. House Targaryen are not us. The dragonlord rulers of the Seven Kingdoms live by customs that, in our time and culture, wouldn’t just raise eyebrows but would urgently require the involvement of social services and several SWAT teams. In the interests of keeping their bloodline pure, Targaryens marry their siblings (sometimes a handful at a time), betroth children to grown adults, and when it comes to sexuality, are unencumbered either by Judeo-Christian religious shame or childish embarrassment....

The sheer number of lovable characters present in The Witcher is simply way too many to list out, but one such character that will inevitably tug at your heartstrings due to his overall demeanor is Dandelion. The bard with a heart of gold might seem like nothing more than your run-of-the-mill comic relief character, but peeling away his surface-level hijinks will reveal a character that is way more complex than one might care to admit....

Interfering when Gaunter O’Dimm goes to collect Olgierd Von Everec’s soul and beating the Master Mirror at his own game is generally considered the good ending of The Witcher 3’s Heart of Stone expansion. That sort of chivalry is certainly inline with Geralt’s white knight mentality. But after experiencing Olgierd’s backstory, referring to lifting his curse as “Good” has always given me a bit of pause. So today, I am here to make a case for why letting Olgierd die is, in fact, the lesser evil....

Next month marks 10 years since CD Projekt Red unleashed The Witcher on gamers, kickstarting a series that’s gone on to etch its name in RPG history. Over the weekend, the studio celebrated this milestone with a panel at PAX West, releasing a special video to the internet to show its appreciation of the franchise’s many fans. While all three games in the trilogy were well-received, it’s fair to say that the series has matured well....
