The Rarest Encounters In The Fallout Series

Random encounters are things the player may or may not come across while exploring the various post-apocalyptic wastelands of the Fallout series. These occurrences are usually the result of the player meeting some sort of unmentioned criteria or stumbling across an unplanned event spawned by the game’s RNG. Every game in the main Fallout series holds a large variety of fun and sometimes outlandish scenarios that one can experience. Many exist to expand the world lore or be short and comical in a way that can break up the monotony of exploring....

The Russo Brothers Reveal Their Favorite Marvel Phase 4 Movie

Perhaps more than any directors to work with Marvel Studios over the last 14 years, the Russo Brothers’ path seems entwined with the MCU’s own journey. The two Ohioan filmmakers were once a bit of a gamble for Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige: young directors better known for their television work on series like Community and Arrested Development than for the type of splashy Hollywood vehicles that used to lead to Hollywood blockbusters....

The Switch Is My New Favorite Way To Play Duke Nukem 3D

Duke and I go way back. Some of my earliest gaming memories are going to Funcoland with my dad and buying the original PlayStation entries - yes, those iffy Tomb Raider rip-offs. In high school, I wiled away hours in Duke Nukem 3D and its countless mods, fan-made remakes, and other pieces of ephemera related to the game. That’s not to mention all the anticipation leading up to Duke Nukem Forever, and sifting through the subsequent fallout that game brought....

Whether you’re murdering dogs, bashing heads in with lead pipes, or just watching your friends die, there’s not much escape from the misery. Replaying it, I knew I was going to have to go through all that again. But there’s one detail I had forgotten: why was Abby so unnecessarily violent with her sledgehammer? I am not a squeamish person when it comes to video games....

Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Luigi

He’s an Italian plumber dedicated to rescuing Princess Peach who can jump super high. You probably thought of Mario, but you should have been thinking of Luigi. Let’s face it, Luigi gets a bad rep compared to Mario. Mario is basically the face of video gaming for most people, rightfully so, but that does mean that Luigi kind of gets sidelined to an almost irrelevant corner at times. Nintendo tried to remedy this with the Year of Luigi, but we all know how that ended....

Tony Hawk S Pro Skater Designer Gets 100 Million Combo Score On Stream

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, Vicarious Visions’ recent remake of the earliest entries in Neversoft’s extreme sports series, has a lot of secret items like tapes on Venice Beach to collect. However, one of the biggest draws for the game is how much freedom players are given to ride around and rack up combos by chaining tricks. As one developer has shown, there are huge possibilities for how many crazy tricks dedicated players can pull off....

Top Games For 2020 Where Good Headphones Make A Difference

While many gamers gush over visual experiences in gaming, such as majestic skylines and striking characters, some games rely just as heavily on soundscapes as they do landscapes. A truly immersive gaming experience requires a pair of quality headphones, such as the HCG1 Pro Gaming Headset, which is compatible with all major consoles and PC. To be included in this list, titles had to be released in 2020, and had to have some sort of tangible reason for accurate or directional sound recreation to matter for gameplay....

It might just be the biggest challenge that Twitch viewers have collaboratively taken on yet, but they’ve prevailed. Now, the Twitch Plays concept is one of the most intriguing in recent gaming memory. It’s one of those ideas that sounds like it’ll be such an unmitigated disaster that you just can’t resist tuning in....

Instead of creating engagement with a project, the studio was forced to apologize for misleading fans with its use of Rayman concept art....

Ubisoft Renews Beyond Good Evil Trademark

Ubisoft has just recently renewed its trademark for Beyond Good & Evil. The French-based video game publisher and developer has long been working on a sequel to the 2003 cult-classic, so this trademark renewal could mean many different things for Beyond Good & Evil and Ubisoft. When a publisher renews a trademark, speculation often comes forth. Although the renewal could simply be necessary behind-the-scenes paperwork, it also sometimes leads to exciting news, like how the game Skate 4 was revealed this year after EA renewed the Skate trademark late in 2019....
