One of the best players in the first-person-shooter Apex Legends has been banned from competitive play. This ban comes after it was discovered that they somehow managed to get to the top without anybody noticing that they were using an aimbot to cheat. In Apex Legend’s ranked play, players battle against each other in order to climb the ranks in hopes of getting the prestigious Predator badge. However, any sort of ranked gameplay mode that involves skill-based matchmaking often results in less scrupulous players trying to win through hacks and cheats....

Despite phenomenal sales and plenty of accolades, not to mention succeeding as the biggest entertainment launch in history, there are many gamers who have begun to sour on the Call of Duty brand. While multiplayer keeps gamers engaged for countless hours in competitive matches, fans who prefer a robust campaign story or can’t access to online features - i.e. anyone who can’t afford Xbox Live Gold or lives in rural (and some international) areas - have begun to feel underwhelmed by what Call of Duty has to offer them....

Steam is making a lot of changes these days.

Gamescom Opening Night Live kicks off today - if you’re interested in checking out over 35 brand new game trailers from 18 different publishers, you can tune in to the official livestream right here. Gamescom was cancelled earlier this year as a result of ongoing concerns surrounding the pandemic, but it was announced that the iconic video game convention would be going digital shortly thereafter.

There is something admirable about a trailer that just throws out uncut footage of a game instead of hand-selecting specially vetted cutscenes that are designed to create a visceral reaction in an audience. Quickly cut together to the point of being indecipherable, resounding soundtracks and polished graphics or cinematics in a trailer can often make it hard to tell which purchases are worthwhile and which are not. The new trailer for BioShock Infinite’s DLC Burial at Sea does just that by inviting players to watch the first five minutes of gameplay....

Eevee might be the most popular Pokémon there is to date. In fact, I’m gonna poke a hornet’s nest here and say that it might even rival Pikachu in being a favorite of many.

The Writers Guild of America today announced its nominees for Outstanding Achievement in Video Game Writing. Though most look at video games for their gameplay or storytelling possibilities, many forget that someone has to sit down and write out all potential pieces of dialogue and many of the major story beats in the game.

Disney’s shrewd Star Wars acquisition has proven to be quite the deal and the company has certainly pushed the May the Fourth holiday to new commercial heights, so there’s no better way to celebrate it than to release a crossover with another one its beloved new properties, The Simpsons.

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 1 In The Simpsons’ season 32 premiere, “Undercover Burns,” the needs of the many are outweighed by the wants of the one.

Sadly, it appears yet another delay has been added to that list....

Official news from the set of The Witcher had been a little slow, with most of the information related to Netflix’ hit fantasy series coming from fan leaks or tabloid sources. However, it looks like the show’s social media team is finally ready to start sharing some of its secrets with fans of The Witcher. Up until this point, The Witcher production team has been juggling a series of setbacks in its filming schedule, ranging from COVID-19 catching actors and crew members off guard to Henry Cavill suffering a minor injury....

The case of the Zodiac Killer–who murdered five people (that we know of) in Northern California in the late 1960s, and whose identity still remains a mystery–has fascinated filmmakers ever since his reign of terror began. This is partially because of his methods, partially because of his direct contact with investigators among the police and media, and partially because he was never caught. He was never even positively identified, which means, for all we know, he could still be alive today....

The Tokyo Game Show has been held annually since 1996 and has served as a place for developers and publishers to release new trailers and details for their upcoming games, as well as an open spot for the general public to take part in cosplay and try out demos....
