The following article contains spoilers for Vikings: Valhalla season 2. Season 2 of Vikings: Valhalla ended with lots of drama: Freydis and her Jomsvikings managed to fight off an invasion by Olaf’s forces, while Harald and Lief finally reached the outskirts of Constantinople, after a perilous journey that involved going over a literal waterfall. Elena, the young noblewoman they’ve been traveling with turns out to be the future empress of Constantinople, and Harald’s attraction to her may now mean provoking an international incident....

From the sniper-friendly Downtown to the crucible of Prison, Verdansk is certainly vast and full of a diverse set of hotspots. Yet, with the introduction of a Cold War map debuting later this year, what other new and interesting places should Warzone implement into its mainstage? Wrapped in its real-world history and mystique, Chernobyl and its accompanying Pripyat would make a fine and equally terrifying addition to the chaotic battle royale....

We’ve been wondering just what the heck Bugsnax was going to be about, and now we have our answer. Sony teased us earlier in the summer with the first minute or so of Bugsnax gameplay, confirming that you play as a journalist on the hunt for the famed explorer Lizbert Megafig, who discovered an island populated by bizarrely edible insects called Bugsnax. You’re tasked with finding her for an interview, but that turns out to be no easy task....

Netflix’s video game docuseries High Score premiered back in August. Utilizing interviews with developers and other industry veterans, it takes its audience through its perceived genesis of the video game industry back in the late ‘70s through the console wars of the ‘90s. Spanning six episodes, the series alternates between giving a general timeline of video game history and providing a deep dive into the origins of specific genres of games....

This Westworld review contains spoilers. Westworld Season 2 Episode 4 “You only live as long as the last person who remembers you.” These are the words uttered by a host to human prey in just one of the plethora of timelines created by tonight’s episode. In fact, it is easy to dismiss much of what occurs to Grace (the Raj’s runaway guest) when she runs into the Ghost Tribe during such an otherwise overstuffed hour-plus of intrigue....

But by the time the credits roll on this tale of witchcraft, Cristina has instead found purpose as the new bruja (Spanish for “witch”) of the Mexican village where she was born, ready to continue fighting the demons that lurk in La Boca as her unlikely mentor Luz once did. “We’re not good at this, but we’re going to get better,” Cristina tells Carson in the final scene of the movie....

EA might be saying woo hoo (oh…wait,) as The Sims 4 now has over 30 million players across all platforms. This information comes from EA’s 2021 first quarter financial report. Twinfinite found the news of this gargantuan number, but one of the most important factors of maintaining a live service title is keeping the player base interested. The Sims 4 has done well in that retrospect as well; all daily, weekly, and monthly player counts have reached record high statistics, despite it being a 6-year-old game....

X-Files baddies come it two flavours: first are the mytharc baddies, part of the larger story running across the show’s nine series and movie. And then come the Monsters Of The Week – the workaday X-Files that keep Mulder, Scully, Doggett and Reyes busy throughout 20-odd episodes a season. There have been classics in both camps, and here are our favourites – graded in Xs for sheer coolness, their impact on the series as a whole and/or how much they creeped us out, basically....

The Witcher game series has sold over 50 million copies, riding on the immense wave of popularity of both the third installment and the Netflix series that launched late last year. CD Projekt’s latest financial report broke these milestone news, placing it right next to other huge names like Borderlands, Metal Gear, Far Cry, and others. The team also announced the news on Twitter, thanking their fans for their devotion. As a reply by the official Xbox Twitter account says, “Congratulations!...

People don’t really seem to dispute the fact that Skyrim is a beautiful game (though there is some debate about the gameplay), but one aspect that most will agree on—it does not involve enough of the role-playing element, despite it being an RPG. Luckily, mods exist! There are mods for all sorts of different things including faster leveling, surreal lighting, and even a magical College of Winterhold. But if you’re looking to bring more of that role-playing element into this game to make up for its shortcomings, these are some that you can check out....

Cyberpunk 2077’s sprawling Night City is filled to the brim with interesting things to see and discover. As with many RPGs as big as Cyberpunk, simply standing around and listening to the NPC conversations can reward you with an easter egg that you would have never expected—such as a reference to the The Office. One of the first small easter eggs that people found in Night City was legendary game designer Hideo Kojima, as he sat in a hotel bar, being pitched movie ideas by adoring fans....

The Joker is a monumental villain in comics and in cinema. He is an embodiment of chaos, a true enigma, and the purest opponent of Batman. Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight arguably features the greatest portrayal of the Joker on screen. Jack Nicholson’s version in 1989 set a high bar and Joaquin Phoenix gave audiences an in-depth origin of the criminal mastermind. Neither were able to represent the spirit of the character as well as Heath Ledger did in 2008....

Mobile gacha game Azur Lane is extremely popular in Japan, so it makes total sense that Japan’s most popular and eccentric musician would get dressed up as one of Azur Lane’s premiere characters to celebrate the game’s third anniversary. TM Revolution has once again donned his incredible Enterprise cosplay to advertise on behalf of Azur Lane. The costume involves an extremely short miniskirt, a naval-style hat, and a bow that resembles the aircraft carrier’s control tower with an arrow sticking out of the bridge....

Many players are making their way through Mass Effect Legendary Edition by playing all three games back-to-back. While this is a great way to immerse yourself in some of the most iconic RPGs out there, it means that you’re probably sick to death of the Reapers by the third game. Unfortunately for those of you feeling this burnout, this is obviously the game featuring them the most. And not just in a narrative sense, as one change that came with this sequel was having Reapers actually pose a threat to you on the galaxy map....

The next group of Mii Fighter DLC costumes for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate have been announced and they’re adding some popular characters, with Bomberman and Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes coming to the game. Bomberman is already in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an Assist Trophy, which was seen as the right choice by many fans, as his bomb-based moveset would be extremely limited for a full fighter. Travis Touchdown has been a strong contender for a Super Smash Bros....

Creators in the Twitch community have been blindsided multiple times this year by an old foe, a recurring problem with livestreaming that’s reared its head the most recently. Every year, it seems, there’s a widespread purge of clips and VODs on the livestreaming platform as DMCA copyright claims are filed against streamers. This year in particular has been especially problematic for content creators, as numerous clips and VODs (some of which are several years old) are receiving DMCA strikes....

Twitch Prime has been firing on all cylinders recently, putting out a variety of free games and bundles for subscribers to play. Considering how many people are at home as a result of stay-at-home policies or quarantine, Twitch Prime (and Twitch in general) has been hugely comforting. Keeping the trend going, Twitch Prime has now revealed its lineup of free games planned for July. As is now standard, four free games will be released as part of the Free Games with Prime monthly program....

Twitch has been making headlines a lot recently with accusations that the streaming platform isn’t treating all users of the site equally. The lastest Twitch streamer to come under fire is “xQc,” an Overwatch professional player who received a 72-hour ban from the site after streaming a pornographic video online. xQc broke the news to fans during a live stream yesterday announcing that Twitch had confirmed that he would be banned from streaming on the site for three days, which is likely to begin at some point today....
