Watch Dogs: Legion is here, and it brings with it a slew of potential main characters. The idea is that you can recruit anyone in the game’s dystopian version of London. They’ll join the DedSec resistance and lend their unique skills to the cause. Some skills are inherently more valuable than others - a construction worker has access to heavy duty drones that can steal large items, for instance. But some people on Twitter are finding that one profession is very valuable in the Watch Dogs world: Games Journalist....

The future looks very bright for fans of From Software games and Souls-likes in general. The announcement of the studio’s next full title, Elden Ring, sent the community into a tizzy of speculation and hype for very good reason, while news of a Demon’s Souls remake by Bluepoint Games and rumors of Bloodborne on the PS5 have garnered another wave of excitement in recent weeks. While Bloodborne 2 is still just a rumor at this point, the confirmed Elden Ring and Demon’s Souls remake will play out against each other in a unique way....

The latest episode of Pokémon Sword & Shield involves Ash returning to the Vermillion City Gym, but it appears that the artists have forgotten what Blaine looks like, as he appears with an incorrect design during a flashback. Blaine is the seventh Gym Leader of the Kanto region and he specializes in Fire-type Pokémon. Blaine resides in the Cinnabar Island Gym, which means that most players won’t be able to encounter him until they have the capacity to use Surf....

Although many thought the PS5 controller would be simply titled DualShock 5, Sony unveiled its next-gen controller to be the DualSense. Already, many are turning the controller into a meme, as its two-toned design is definitely shocking compared to the design of past controllers, and it looks oddly similar to the time travel suits in Avengers: Endgame among other comparisons. Looks aren’t everything, however, as the controller boasts some rather interesting features....

Electronic Arts’ The Sims 4 has seen a number of new additions throughout the year that continue to expand what players are able to do in the 2014 life simulation game. The Nifty Knitting Stuff Pack released in July, adding an Etsy-esque online market to the game, and in September a Star Wars crossover called Journey to Batuu gave players a trip far, far away. Now, more winter activities are ready to be announced....

This article contains spoilers for The Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: World Beyond. The world of The Walking Dead is expanding its scope with the upcoming spinoff The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. The new series will not only see Norman Reedus go off on his own adventure, it’ll also break away from the franchise formula in terms of its setting. You see, this highly-anticipated spinoff will actually take place in France, showcasing a different side of the apocalyptic world we’ve been watching for over a decade, according to Deadline....

We love The Witcher games; after all, what’s not to love? It’s an excellent RPG filled with tons of amazing things to do with an incredible story to boot. So it’s no wonder we’ll want to plunge ourselves right back after the first playthrough, with the oh so popular New Game Plus mode. ‘Cause it’s just that good. And while doing that, we might as well list ten things that’ll be much easier in New Game Plus in case there are more unbelievers out there....

Microsoft’s been teasing an expansion of Xbox beyond just a console for years now. Even more recently, after efforts like Xbox’s Play Anywhere Initiative and Project xCloud expanding the ways to play Xbox games, now Microsoft seems to be inferring a jump to game streaming on TVs. Ironically enough, where the focus on the Xbox One initially was to become a multimedia machine, Xbox in 2020 has become the complete inverse of 2013 Xbox....

As theaters begin to re-open slowly across the country, concerns have naturally turned towards the question of how to keep things safe and sanitary for those interested in visiting. In response to these concerns, the National Association of Theater Owners has issued a brand new nationwide set of health and safety protocols intended to reduce the spread of Coronavirus, and keep patrons safe. The rules, dubbed “CinemaSafe” by the organization, include a wide host of safety measures that theaters will be expected to adhere to....

Ladies and gentleman, Destiny 2 is upon us, and it is glorious! Millions of players are back on the grind and I got to tell y’all, personally it feels amazing. All the excitement from the first game suddenly feels so familiar again and I welcome this feeling 100%. But, as all you gamers know, every rose has its thorns. Though Destiny 2 is filled to the brim with new, fun and compelling gaming experiences, it is not a surprise that it falls a bit short to is predecessor in a few ways....

As one of the larger fighting game franchises around today, Bandai Namco has done a solid job at providing fans of Dragon Ball Z with worthwhile video games. The IP is one of the few manga/anime properties that has found a large audience outside of Japan and – while the latest major entry in the series, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, has been been well enough received – this same audience has now created its own fighting game featuring characters from Dragon Ball Z....

The company behind games like Saints Row and UFC Undisputed isn’t ready to step off or tap out just yet. It was reported over the weekend by IGDA Mobile SIG chair Kevin Dent that THQ was facing severe financial struggles and had “cancelled all of its 2014 [game lineup]” (which is set to include Warhammer 40k: Dark Millenium Online). Dent laid out his sentiments in a series of tweets which reported the company to be returning intellectual properties to licensors and prepping itself for a sale to Asian suitors....

THQ Nordic and Koch Media have announced that the two publishers reached an agreement and will be trading various IPs with each other. The most noteworthy trade here is that Koch Media has acquired the Red Faction IP, reuniting original developer Volition with the franchise. Koch also received Painkiller from THQ.

It’s official - the PS3, PS Vita, and PSP digital storefronts are set to close before the year comes to an end. With it, thousands of digital games will be lost to time, only available to those who managed to purchase them before the lights were switched off for good. It’s an understandable decision when you consider the logistics behind such a thing, but it doesn’t make it any less heartbreaking....

There is a certain vibe to the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games that can be difficult to describe. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 may be a retread of the original games, but there is a real question of whether or not it can capture their old magic. If the celebrity cameo leaked for Pro Skater 1+2 is any indication, the answer seems to be yes. On top of the core gameplay, soundtrack, and level design that has returned, Pro Skater 1+2 seems to have captured the original games’ irreverence....

The time for Titanfall has finally arrived. While the developers at Respawn Entertainment unleash their multiplayer mix of on-foot action and heavily-mechanized warfare, it’s important to remember that they aren’t the first team to discover that the chance to pilot a hulking mass of motorized destruction is one most gamers will jump at. Entire tank simulations, online battle arenas and customizable robotic creations have cropped up over the past few decades, but we can’t help but think that a few games have managed to focus their attention and give players the chance to not simply pilot a mech into combat, but make one their very own - a character in itself....

One of Twitch’s most popular streamers of 2020 was xQc, a French Canadian and former professional Overwatch player. Now streaming a variety of games on Twitch for the esports organization Luminosity Gaming, xQc has solidified himself as one of 2020’s most viewed internet personalities, even after his temporary ban on Twitch following a stream sniping incident. Felix “xQc” Lengyel has even garnered the attention of Twitch giants like Dr Disrespect, who criticized xQc for streaming Bloons, a cartoony tower defense game....

Publisher Ubisoft is not always seen as the most gamer-friendly company in the industry. There has been a steady stream of complaints against the publisher’s DRM policy and online client uPlay. Meanwhile, much-loved series such as Assassin’s Creed have faced criticism over an annual release schedule - particularly when it results in the game-breaking bugs of highly-anticipated titles like Assassin’s Creed Unity. There are, however, a few reasons why Ubisoft has yet to fall into the infamous territory of EA....

The launch of Assassin’s Creed Unity has been less than ideal for Ubisoft. Overall, the game has been plagued with a variety of errors, including some major problems with frame rate, random crashes, and bizarre graphical and collision glitches. That’s without even mentioning the major connectivity issues, causing plenty of players to be unable to enjoy the cooperative mode that was seen by many as Assassin’s Creed Unity’s strongest selling point....
