Tony Hawk S Skate Jam Coming To Mobile

It’s been a number of years since a quality skateboarding game has been released. While the independently-developed Session looks to draw inspiration from EA’s skate franchise, the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series has been in a strange sort of limbo. However, while THPS might be dead Tony Hawk is making a comeback with a new skateboarding game of his own, though not in the traditional sense. Thanks to a collaboration with Maple Media, Hawk has brought back at least some of the vision of older Tony Hawk Pro Skater games in Tony Hawk’s Skate Jam....

Top Fall Guys Maps That Should Instantly Go Into The Trash

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is the latest battle royale sensation that’s driving all the teens, tweens, and 27-year old Twitch streamers wild. It’s not hard to see why. It’s a family-friendly, colorful platformer with a wacky sense of humor that can still invoke the same feelings of competition and anxiety that you’d get from shooters like Fortnite or Apex Legends. It probably doesn’t hurt that it’s free on PS Plus right now either....

Twitch Streamer Gets 3 Million Followers Overnight

Streaming on Twitch is somewhat hit or miss for the average gamer. For most, it can be extremely difficult to build a fan base and get consistent views, but there’s always that off chance that something causes the streamer to blow up in popularity. At first glance, that’s what seemed to have happened to small Call of Duty: Warzone streamer, NeonSniperPanda. NeonSniperPanda is an intermediate level Twitch streamer, boasting around 10,000 followers before the sudden increase....

Twitch Streamer Swebliss Accuses Site Of Discrimination After Ban

Just recently, Twitch has banned popular Swedish art and fashion streamer Swebliss for 24-hours over inappropriate attire. Swebliss seems to disagree with this decision, as she is now accusing the site of sexism and being discriminatory. Twitch has strict guidelines on what it considers to be appropriate attire, with the general rule of thumb being that streamers should not wear clothes that would be inappropriate in public. However, even these guidelines are fairly ambiguous and can lead to quite a bit of contention....

Twitch Streamer Thegrefg Breaks Viewership Record

There is a new record holder for the most concurrent viewers on Twitch. Not only is David “TheGrefg” Martinez now the owner of the highest individual viewed stream on Twitch, he absolutely dwarfed the old record, which was held by famous content creator Ninja. Over two years ago, Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins broke the record for concurrent views with around 650,000 viewers while playing Fortnite. While many games have peaked since then, nothing has come over the top of Ninja’s magical night, until now....

Ubisoft Ceo Questioned By Investors How Much He Knew About Toxic Work Culture

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot was questioned about how much he knew of the toxic workplace culture that has resulted in the resignations of at least four executives so far. It hasn’t been a good month for Ubisoft–at least internally. The company was rocked by allegations of sexual harassment and an overly misogynistic workplace culture late last month, and since then the scandal has claimed at least four high-ranking Ubisoft executives....

Valheim S Underground Builds Are Becoming All The Rage And This One Is Stunning

I’m pretty sure Iron Gate Studio never really intended for their game to turn into a Viking architecture and city-planning game, but that’s basically what has happened. Since there’s only so much you can do in Valheim’s early access period, the end-game for most players is to construct a home base that goes way beyond what we know of Viking ruins. Reddit user Fyxate has gone all-out to make this incredible home up in the hills....

Valve S Source 2 Engine Could Be Getting Ray Tracing Support

If you’ve kept up with the latest hardware news, you’re probably aware that ray tracing is a pretty big deal for both next-gen consoles and the latest releases of graphics cards. Ray tracing essentially simulates light bouncing off of surfaces, adding a level of detail to virtual worlds that hadn’t been possible before now. It’s the reason why Cyberpunk 2077 looks so good (at least on PC anyway), and it’s the reason why both the PS5 and Xbox Series X are touting ray tracing as one of their next-gen features....

Van Helsing Season 2 Episode 3 Review Love Bites

This Van Helsing review contains spoilers. Van Helsing Season 2 Episode 3 “Do not underestimate the cost of being a monster.” It’s often said no greater love exists than a son’s for his mother, and for the third week in a row, Van Helsing catches viewers totally off guard drawing on a narrative device used only sparingly to this point. In an episode examining the depths to which desperation can push a human being, “Love Bites” takes viewers on an emotional rollercoaster ride that could potentially send Vanessa down a dark path she’s thus far managed to avoid....

Video Aussie Gamer Attacked By Angry Bird During Livestream

The last thing you expect while playing a video game is to be attacked by an angry bird unless you assume the role of a green pig and decide to steal the bird’s eggs. Yet for Lynchy, an Aussie Gamer, a livestream became a fight for survival after an angry magpie hurled itself into his face. Lynchy, who was quietly playing Valorant last Friday afternoon, was shocked when the magpie first flew into his room during the gaming live feed but was even more stunned when the bid slammed into his face....

Vikings Season 4 Episode 20 Review The Day Of Reckoning

Revenge does not come without a price, and the Vikings Season 4 finale puts on full display the fracturing family Ragnar Lothbrok leaves behind. Even though Lagertha and Rollo’s arcs are noticeably absent in this epic installment, the sheer weight of the brothers’ journeys demands that their tales stand isolated from the rest of the saga. And as always, Vikings delivers. Though I’m generally not a fan of extended fight scenes and battle sequences, Michael Hirst’s decision to focus solely on the great heathen army attack on Wessex vividly reminds us of the brutal nature of war and the Viking spirit and mentality as they glorify Odin and the gods by avenging their king’s death....
