In competitive FPS games where you can buy the guns you use, having the right tools in your arsenal can mean the difference between an easy victory or a quick defeat, especially in Valorant, a highly successful game that will come out of beta soon. This is why it is always important to know which weapons are worth your time, and which are not. Even though the type of gun people get comes down to personal preference, there are some that are so much better than the rest, that it might be worth pushing yourself to try different playstyles....

Vampire: The Masquerade is not like other tabletop RPGs that have a focus on combat or accumulating wealth. It has a much greater focus on roleplaying and character development than other RPGs. With that being said, the player needs to be ready to contribute when called to action. The source of all drama is conflict and all of the pontificating in the world is meaningless when the character needs to fight for their life, extract information from an unwilling person, or sneak through an area without getting caught....

When Doc plaintively asks Axel “What have we become” in “Help Out,” the ninth episode of Syfy’s Van Helsing, her question sets the tone for the entire episode and possibly the remainder of the vampire apocalypse’s first season. This week’s installment slows things down a bit, allowing for some introspection and self-assessment, yet still manages to lay the groundwork for some compelling plotlines. It’s bad enough that characters like Vanessa and Doc call into question their own self-worth, but when they look in the mirror, the person staring back appears unrecognizable....

The first full trailer for Marvel’s WandaVision dropped during the 2020 Emmys, and with it came a TON of new information about the show. But there’s one quick little nod to comics history that might herald a shift in how the Scarlet Witch and Vision are portrayed in the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe. For a brief moment, Vision joined his wife the Scarlet Witch in wearing a comics-accurate costume. That’s right: he’s rocking the big yellow cape, the drab green body, and the diamond....

This Quantum Leap review contains spoilers. Quantum Leap Episode 11 After a two-week hiatus, Quantum Leap returned on Jan. 30 with a bang. More than one, in fact. After the last episode’s setting in a hospital, where Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) was a fish out of water, our quantum leaper lands in a facility housing a nuclear reactor, which is exactly his element. Not only does Ben, once again, leap outside his own lifetime, landing on Sept....

The Outer Worlds debuted in 2019 and was well-received by fans and critics. A spiritual successor to Obsidian Entertainment’s previous work Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds has followed the lead of its almost-predecessor in a few ways. Most recently, The Outer Worlds has received DLC, though not nearly as many expansions as New Vegas got. The first DLC, titled “Peril on Gorgon,” came out in September 2020 and led players to a nearly-abandoned Spacer’s Choice research facility on the outskirts of the galaxy, on the Gorgon asteroid....

Plenty of classic movies have been adapted into board games, and it’s just been announced that one such film, The Princess Bride, is getting one in a few weeks. The 1987 cult comedy was one of the first films to memorably poke fun at fairy tale tropes with its whimsical story full of true love and swashbuckling heroics, and soon fans will be able to relive it with The Princess Bride Adventure Book Game....

Given that The Quarry is the latest horror game from the brilliant minds behind the modern genre classic Until Dawn, it should come as no surprise that the game’s cast is filled with horror character tropes voiced (and often motion-captured) by a lot of familiar names. Indeed, part of the fun of playing a game like The Quarry comes from trying to figure out where you know so many of its cast members from....

Jackie Chan is one of the most recognizable actors in the world, having acted in well over 100 films since the 1960s. His first big breaks came as a child actor and as a stuntman in several Bruce Lee films and before too long he was starring in kung fu films of his own. Known for his athletic prowess, comedic timing, and genre versatility, Jackie Chan continues to be a staple in action film history....

This article is presented by: Back in 1951, the New York Yankees were still on top, the Dodgers were in Brooklyn, the Giants roamed New York’s Polo Grounds, and fans could collect the first set of Topps playing cards at one cent for a pack of two. Needless to say, a lot has changed the past 70 years, all of the above remain woven into the fabric of baseball. And much like last year’s Topps Project 2020, the trading card giant is giving artists the freedom to put their own stamp on traditional trading cards with Project70....

While Ubisoft experienced a strong 2014 in terms of game sales with such games as Watch_Dogs, the French company also faced a number of struggles such as dealing with the severe technical issues Assassin’s Creed Unity launched with and even backlash over graphical downgrades. Earlier this week Ubisoft revealed some interesting sales data in terms of how their games sell on various platforms. Surprisingly, it appears that the Xbox One is struggling to outsell it’s last generation console counterpart, the Xbox 360....

Big name streamers often come up against opponents who are sniping their streams, following their every move. Riot’s entry in the tactical FPS scene, Valorant, recently released a patch that nerfs shotguns, among other things. Next on the list of things to fix are stream snipers. With any live service game that continually introduces new content, there is a greater potential for something to go wrong that throws the game out of balance....

Valve has today announced a new feature that could help consumers make heads or tails of Steam’s growing library: Steam Reviews. The feature will start off in open beta — as many Steam features do — and will eventually expand to become part of the Steam ecosystem. Product reviews are not unheard of — in fact, customer reviews are a part of almost any online retailer — but they are also a complicated minefield to navigate....

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodhunt is not a game that should work. It takes the slow building intrigue and nuanced story telling of the tabletop game and Bloodlines video game and turns it into a battle royale where you stalk through the streets with chainsaws, shotguns, and axes, jumping from rooftop to rooftop and murdering your opponents in a violent, action packed bloodbath. The masquerade is all about how vampires move through the mortal world undetected, influencing and manipulating those around them, playing out vampiric politics and power struggles without ever being detected by the humans....

Riot Games has been transparent so far with how they have approached their newest game VALORANT. Already bringing updates and addressing issues with the closed-beta, the developers have done good with their active approach. One big talking point since the closed-beta launch, and one Riot didn’t hide or shy away from - is their anti-cheat software Vanguard that must be installed to be able to play the game. Recently, a number of users have been having issues with Vanguard, raising concerns over the software and what it might do to a player’s computer....

Vera really likes to keep us waiting. Series 11 of this beloved British detective series began broadcasting back in summer 2021, and after four episodes were released between then and January 2022, there’s been a year-long unexplained wait for the last two feature-length episodes of the series, which finally began airing on ITV1 on Sunday 15th January. But like buses, you wait for one series of Vera and two arrive at once, as straight after Series 11 finishes we’ll be getting four more weekly episodes making up Series 12 as well, starting on 29th January....
