Ubisoft Wants To See Assassin S Creed Make It To Number 10

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 Glitch Lets Cypher Hover

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....

Valorant Update Nerfs Sage

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....

Viewsonic Elite Xg270Qc Gaming Monitor Review Curves For Days

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....

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....

What Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Toys Reveal About The Movie

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....
