Now that E3 2020 has been canceled due to coronavirus concerns, publishers and developers are devising alternatives to routine appearances at the hugely popular gaming conference. One such developer and publisher includes Ubisoft, who is considering a digital alternative to the company’s usual E3 presentation. The publisher behind such series as Ghost Recon, Assassin’s Creed, and The Division is currently considering a “digital experience” given the cancelation of the E3 event....

Though we’re only four games deep, and richly steeped in the battle between the templars and the assassins, gamers still figure that Ubisoft has to have an end point for the Assassin’s Creed franchise. While only partly focused on a central mystery, one that gets teased via cliffhanger in each game, the Assassin’s Creed series has brought up more than its fair share of questions — questions that we inevitably hope get answered....

Valorant, Riot Games’ online multiplayer shooter, is currently in closed beta. Given Valorant’s development state, as well as the ever-increasing amount of players being invited, bugs, glitches and exploits are bound to be discovered. One glitch, which allows the Agent Cypher to hover, may need to be fixed sooner rather than later. One of Valorant’s Agents, Sage, has an ability that creates destructible walls. These walls can be stood on by allies or enemies, but if they’re destroyed, gravity takes hold and any players standing on the wall will fall....

Shroud, Polish-Canadian streamer and former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive professional player, just added to the hype surrounding Riot’s first person shooter VALORANT. Apparently, he was part of the alpha playtest that took place this weekend, and the game effectively ruined every other game for him. “I was already kind of bored and I didn’t know what to play, but after playing VALORANT, it makes it all worse,” he said in a stream, explaining that it’s because he’s now played “a f***ing gem, and now I’ve got to go back to trash....

Following the extremely popular beta period, Valorant successfully launched earlier this month on June 2. The launch in question was preceded by the Valorant 1.0 patch that fixed and changed various things to make for a smoother and more balanced playing experience. Now, just over a week later Riot Games has put out another patch for Valorant, though patch 1.01 seems just a bit lighter than the previous 1.0 patch. Though the patch has fewer notes listed, this patch still brings about some important changes, including a noteworthy nerf to one specific agent: Sage....

After the controversial launch of Cyberpunk 2077, Gabe Newell provides some insight in favor of CD Projekt Red. As president of Valve, a fellow game developer and distribution company, Newell offers defense of the issues plaguing the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. The sci-fi open-world RPG was one of the most highly-anticipated games of 2020. Unfortunately, despite mostly positive critic reviews, Cyberpunk 2077 is an experience rife with bugs and glitches. While the PC version is functional, both last-generation and current generation consoles saw performance struggles across the board....

Tech reviews will often stress the importance of the item at hand. Reviewers can even take it further by claiming the item at the hand is the most important piece of your gaming setup. A mouse and/or keyboard is how you control your PC, so their quality is essential. Trying to game is pointless without a good graphics card. And can a PC survive without sufficient cooling? ViewSonic’s Elite XG270QC may or may not be the most important thing on my desk....

This article contains spoilers for WandaVision episode 8. Like episode 4 before it, WandaVision episode 8 drops the show’s sitcom homage format entirely to delve deeper into the context of the world outside the hexagon and Wanda’s own history. That doesn’t mean, however, that “Previously On…” still doesn’t find the time to shout out some classic television. In fact, this penultimate installment may feature WandaVision’s most important sitcom reference yet by taking things back to the very first episode with the help of The Dick Van Dyke Show....

As Warzone players continue to discover changes brought about by the new update, helicopter hitboxes are the latest feature to feel their wrath.

They’re the best way to traverse the map, especially if a whole squad is together, but it can quickly alert all nearby players to your whereabouts....

After being postponed into 2021, the long-awaited Watch Dogs: Legion multiplayer mode will finally be available on March 9.

As for PvP, Legion is bringing a free-for-all deathmatch called Spiderbot Arena that will likely see more content added throughout the year....

Hasbro Toys is now teasing the Marvel Legends 6” scale action figure line’s wave of tie-in toys for Multiverse of Madness. Among the various surprises, the preview provides a potentially profound revelation with a build-a-figure of Rintrah, a somewhat obscure green Minotaur-like sorcerer from the pages of Marvel’s Doctor Strange comics, seemingly brought to live-action glory for the movie, as the plastic suggests. Oddly enough, Elizabeth Olsen’s returning post-WandaVision Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch is nowhere to be found in this wave....

This article contains The Suicide Squad spoilers. If you’ve spent any time in the last few years among comic book fans, be it socially or online, then it’s easy to remember one of the most repeated criticisms leveled at the tangled madness we call the DCEU: The villains are terrible. This critique is not without merit. Despite DC Comics being home to some of the greatest villains of comicdom—who have in turn inspired some of the greatest movie baddies like Heath Ledger’s Joker, Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman, and Terence Stamp’s General Zod—Warner Brothers’ more recent DC Extended Universe has struggled to live up to that legacy....

The Bartlett administration never actually occupied the White House, but the trials and tribulations during its run are the subject of scrutiny and critical acclaim all the same. For one night, all the principals that made The West Wing a rousing success come together once again for charity to reenact an episode on HBO Max. The West Wing was once a centerpiece of NBC’s “Must See TV” lineup, depicting the exploits of the fictitious democratic President Jed Bartlett and his White House staff as they navigated the complicated world of politics....
