Destiny 2 players have discovered a new build, combining perks and gear, for the Arcstrider Hunter that stacks a number of buffs to result in a single melee attack that can do insane amounts of damage. As the game moves toward its third year with the release of the Shadowkeep expansion in the fall, the past year of add-on content has helped add perks and exotics to the game that make this build possible....

With the news that Watch Dogs 2 is approximately a year away, one Game Rant writer examines the shortcomings of the series’ first entry and what Ubisoft can do to improve. Does anybody else remember when Watch Dogs was supposed to be a revolutionary new IP? Aiden Pearce was going to be Ubisoft’s next Ezio without the awkward Altair years. It looked like Watch Dogs was going to take some of the best elements of the modern stages in Assassin’s Creed, while bringing in gameplay based around a combination of hacking, stealth, and the open-world exploration of the Grand Theft Auto series....

This week saw the return of Shroud to CS:GO, top-level players discussing how Riot Games’ VALORANT will impact their game, and the ongoing 11th Season of the ESL Pro League. Shroud was eagerly welcomed back by fellow players and stream viewers after having spent most of March playing Call of Duty: Warzone. Speaking about the move back to CS:GO, Shroud did not mince words to both admire and poke fun at Warzone, “It’s just cause it is so difficult....

After last week many are probably still working their way through Paper Mario: The Origami King or Ghost Of Tsushima, but just because the two biggest games of July have released doesn’t mean that the games just stop coming. No dear reader, the games keep on rolling along and if paper-thin Marios or vengeful samurai aren’t your bag, then perhaps you’ll find something you like in this week’s releases. Here are just a few of the most exciting new releases for this week (July 19 - July 25):...

Russell Crowe is in Thor: Love and Thunder. Cool. Russell Crowe is playing a god in Thor: Love and Thunder. Cooler. Russell Crowe is playing the most incorrigible, inappropriately horny god-father of them all as Zeus. Impossibly cool. Crowe revealed in an interview to JOY Breakfast With the Murphys that “I’m gonna get on my bicycle. I’m gonna ride up to Disney Fox Studios, and around about 9:15 I shall be Zeus!...

Valorant is still a fairly new game, but that doesn’t mean that people haven’t learned the best ways to play it. The game has been booming, and most Valorant enthusiasts have already started their grind. It’s fair to say that Valorant is destined for success. A tactical-shooter by nature, Valorant comprises both FPS and MOBA nature. Although the game is easy to pick up and play, there is a lot to learn and understand in Valorant....

President Trump can not use an Oculus Quest to play VR games anymore. Following the events at the Capitol yesterday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has decided to ban the president from Facebook indefinitely. In a statement, Zuckerberg wrote, “The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden....

Genre TV fans owe a lot to the spy drama Alias. Premiering twenty years ago this week (just..how??), Alias was a near-instant critical and commercial success thanks to its near-perfect pilot episode. It went on to run for five seasons full of ambitious, go-for-broke storytelling that featured rich character dynamics and wasn’t afraid to take risks, even when those risks didn’t always pay off the way we might have initially hoped....

Valorant, Riot Games’ upcoming online multiplayer shooter, is already making waves while only being in closed beta. Not only are thousands of Valorant closed beta participants building hype for the upcoming game, but those wanting into the Valorant closed beta have forced Twitch to rewrite its rules due to a recent controversy. Twitch, which had been providing Valorant access from a complex drop system, now considers inactive 24/7 streams meant to draw in viewers for drops a bannable offense....

A major shakeup has hit the competitive Smash Bros. community, as numerous pro players and content creators have been called out for previous misdeeds. Amidst the storm, ZeRo was one of many Smash Bros. players accused of sexual misconduct with minors, and after the accusations began mounting, he actually admitted to the claims. For those that don’t keep up with competitive Smash Bros., ZeRo is considered the best Super Smash Bros....

Emotes are an essential aspect of chatting on Twitch, and the PogChamp emote has been one of the most spammed in the platform’s history. At the start of the year, Twitch removed the original PogChamp after Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez, the original face of the emote, made offensive remarks responding to the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Over a month later, Twitch has finally come to the decision on what will replace the iconic emote....

Uncharted 4 sees Naughty Dog push the bar for excellence to a new height, with stunning visuals, next-level character work, and one of the best games of this generation. To say that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is one of the most anticipated Sony releases of the entire PS4 console generation would be putting things mildly. The build-up surrounding the latest from developer Naughty Dog is arguably up there with some of the biggest releases in the history of gaming, and with that comes a laundry list of expectations....

Electronic Arts is still struggling to fight the flurry of negative consumer reaction for Star Wars Battlefront 2, a title with plenty of otherwise positive aspects like gorgeous visuals and a brand new focus on singleplayer activities. The company found itself in hot water earlier this week when gamers discovered it would take 40 hours of in-game playtime to unlock a top-tier hero, prompting a mass of negative comments about how the studio was seemingly forcing gamers into microtransactions if they really wanted to unlock the majority of content....

Supermassive Games officially releases the launch trailer for its PlayStation VR horror title Until Dawn: Rush of Blood in order to promote the game’s release. Although Until Dawn’s official follow-up isn’t in development, Supermassive Games still has plenty of scares in store for fans of the horror genre. As a matter of fact, the studio behind last year’s sleeper hit is ready to frighten audiences everywhere with tomorrow’s release of the virtual reality title spin-off Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, and the developer has put out its launch trailer to prove it....

When you first jump into Valheim, the game doesn’t really tell you what to do or where to go. The experience is your adventure alone to explore and wandering around aimlessly can get you a lot of resources and monster encounters. But, most importantly, you may tumble your way inside of the Black Forest. When you first find the Black Forest, ominous music begins to play in your ears as the words “Black Forest” go across your screen....

In Valheim, up to 10 players are tasked with surviving in a cruel mythical Norse world. The setting can be treacherous with the variety of monsters and the chance that the forest itself could decide to rise up against the player at any moment. The player’s ability to construct and improve their tools and home will be paramount to their survival in Valheim, yet uneasily, players have started noticing a new figure watching them at night....

Half-Life: Alyx developer Valve doesn’t typically crunch to make its games, say two people who worked on the game. Several other game developers have been criticized for their crunch development and one former Naughty Dog animator said that its crunch makes it “near impossible” to hire veteran animators. Speaking to GamesBeat, Half-Life: Alyx animator James Benson spoke about crunch culture at Valve and said that “it seems to me that Valve basically doesn’t think it’s good or useful in terms of good game development practice to slowly erode your home life by working you to death....

It would seem reports of movie theaters’ demise were greatly exaggerated. That seemed obvious last month when Shang-Chi performed beyond expectations and earned $94.7 million over a four-day holiday weekend. Yet it seems even more clear now since Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the follow-up to Tom Hardy’s madcap 2018 superhero movie, blasted past the box office records set by its predecessor, as well as every other film to open in a traditional three-day window since the COVID-19 pandemic started....

Since gaming became a platform to create digital worlds, players and designers have ever fantasized about the ability to inhabit virtual spaces. Now, after a rather headache-inducing test run in the 1990s, it looks like the gaming world is on the precipice of viable virtual reality. VR is becoming one of the most oft spoken terms when considering what’s next for the world of gaming and gamers should begin to see a serious presence this year....
