If you have the Blood & Wine DLC expansion for the Witcher 3, you’ll be able to find and complete a really weird quest that has a few different solutions. This quest is called A Knight’s Tales and involves a few things that are typical Witcher: a bleeding tree, a witch, a curse, and much more. There are two ways to activate this quest. First, head to the notice board at Castel Ravello and find the note called “Needed: Master Magicker!...
During a Call of Duty: Warzone match, TimTheTatman, CouRage, and Nadeshot ran into a particularly suspicious player. Throughout the entire game, their team was plagued by the hacker. After CouRage (the last remaining player) died to the shady character, they decided to jump into spectator mode and check things out. What they found was a total clown fiesta. The player in question was shamelessly using cheats to wrecking-ball their way straight through the match....
Believe it or not, there was a time when full motion video-based games were supposedly the future of video gaming. As console manufacturers began harnessing blossoming new technologies (mostly related to the CD format), they attempted to create new game experiences while capitalizing on gamer’s thirst for something groundbreaking. The ’90s saw a shift from pixel-based titles to FMV games which were supposed to create a more theatrical and engaging experience....
Activision has released a new trailer in celebration of the release of Face Off, the newest mode for Modern Warfare 3.

The first two Face Off maps, Agroud and Erosion, are available free of charge on Xbox Live, and are available for download now, while the other two will release as part of Content Collection #2....
There’s really something special about indie games. Even if they’re not always made with the experience and resources of a AAA studio, indie games are developed by people really passionate about their product and motivated to making something that represents their passions and ideas. Something indie developers usually have in common is that they’re hugely inspired by the studios responsible for the games they grew up with, from Sony to Microsoft to Nintendo....
The TurboGrafx-16 Mini is Now Available For Pre-Order after being delayed a month due to COVID-19. So it’s been an extra month, but the TurboGrafx-16 Mini is almost here. Was it worth the wait? That depends if you’re into rare and bizarre Japanese games or not. The original TurboGrafx-16 was mostly a hit in Japan. Released in 1987, it took on the Super Nintendo as Japan’s de facto home entertainment console....

If you haven’t already jumped on the rather hilarious Two Point Hospital on your console of choice, it may be worth waiting until March before you do so. Sega has just announced that Two Point Hospital: JUMBO Edition will be hitting PS4, Xbox One, and Switch on March 5, 2021, with all of the game’s DLC in tow. This is also technically a confirmation of the final two DLC packs coming to consoles, which have been missing for nearly a year now....

Now the Army has been forced to retreat; reports say they are pausing social activity and streaming on Twitch for the time being. This follows a report by Jordan Uhl, published by The Nation, on the Army’s recruitment tactics on Twitch....
2018’s God Of War was an absolute masterpiece of a video game. Rebooting the classic action game franchise, and not only maintaining the series’ history, but also creating a well acted and well written story. This was also combined with updating the combat to feel more impactful, and sculpting a beautiful world full of things to discover. There’s a reason why it won so many awards, and has cemented itself as one of Sony’s best games....
Owlchemy Labs has released the trailer for Vacation Simulator: Back to Job. The free DLC will add gigs to players’ VR vacation experience. This fall, Gigbot invites players to operate the Vacation Simulator poolside Cantina. It may not be the most beautiful gaming destination, but it’s quite nice. The trailer released today shows a poolside around which a parade of bots approach the booth. The human behind the counter must fulfill customers’ every request, which typically involves, in classic VR fashion, throwing the item in question in the customer’s face....

Fans of Mario Kart Wii will soon be able to access a mod that allows twenty-four racers to play on a track. The races that take place in the Mario Kart series will quickly become chaotic affairs due to the abundance of items that can be thrown across the track. It won’t take long for a simple race on the Rainbow Road to devolve into a deluge of banana skins, fireballs, and turtle shells....
Watch Dogs Legion has just received a pretty big update that adds some new characters and modes, but I’m honestly finding it hard to care. The only thing that will bring me back to Watch Dogs Legion at this point is the franchise’s best character, Marcus Holloway, and frankly, he deserves better. Although it offered some impressive mechanics and was a cool way to explore a near-future London, Watch Dogs Legion fell far below my expectations when it originally launched....
Speedrunners have been taking to DOOM Eternal in droves in an effort to uncover the fastest possible route. While usually something that gets perfected over years, we may have an early candidate for the fastest possible speedrun of id Software’s latest title. In a new video posted by IGN, id employees Marty Stratton (executive producer), Hugo Martin (director of Eternal), Jerry Keehan (level designer), and Evan Eubanks (lead programmer) watch as one player utterly decimates their latest creation in a mere 27 minutes....
Both Microsoft and Sony are making their bids for the next generation of console gaming this holiday. While many like to talk about the “Console Wars” every generation, it is partially true that both companies are dictating the future of gaming in various capacities this year. Microsoft and Sony are both taking very different approaches compared to previous generations, both of which have had its own degree of success. Each side will determine what happens to the gaming industry moving forward, and which perspective consumers favor most....
“It’s a classic ghost story with one of the best filmed jumps ever,” sums up Andy Nyman of Herbert Wise’s 1989 TV movie of The Woman in Black, “It properly delivers, and it properly delivers in a fantastically old fashioned way. It’s a proper ghost story at Christmas.” He’s not wrong. Now restored and released on Blu-ray with a load of new extras, the movie is still incredibly effective. Nyman has recorded a new commentary for the film along with fellow horror experts Kim Newman and Mark Gatiss....
Current UFC Featherweight Champion and EA Sports UFC 2 cover athlete Conor McGregor loses his fight at UFC 196 in the Welterweight division via submission to Nate Diaz. Is being on the cover of EA Sports UFC 2 a curse? If one asked Ronda Rousey or Conor McGregor that question, they might be inclined to believe so. Shortly after Rousey was confirmed to be one of the cover athletes for EA Sports UFC 2, Rousey suffered her first loss and relinquished her title to Holly Holm back at UFC 193 in November of 2015, ending the star athlete’s impressive undefeated streak....
With Red Dead Redemption 2 having launched to innumerable positive reviews, it’s safe to presume that most gamers will be spending the first weekend of the game’s availability exploring what Rockstar has said is the largest and most detailed map it has ever created. With this being the case, fans of the open world action-adventure franchise will likely be singing the title’s praises for quite a while, and other IPs are sharing the love as well....
