COVID-19 has impacted the game industry irrevocably. More than 800 surveyed developers stated that their games have been delayed due to the pandemic and new work from home conditions. We’ve seen countless examples of major delays throughout 2020 with games like The Last of Us Part 2, Destiny 2: Beyond Light, and Halo Infinite, just to name a few. Thus far, we have seen the impact that the pandemic has had on near-release and late in-development games....

One Game Rant writer saddles up to go ride dragons in Riders of Icarus, an upcoming MMORPG from Nexon that allows gamers to capture mounts and use them in combat. Those who fall out of the core group of hardcore MMORPG players can be forgiven for not recognizing Riders of Icarus, an upcoming MMORPG published by Nexon and developed by WeMade. The MMO marketplace is often filled to the brim with generic elves, magic landscapes, and some kind of vaguely World of Warcraft-looking production, but more importantly it’s hard to stand out from the crowd....

After years in development and a number of delays, the Fleischer-inspired platformer Cuphead has launched to strong reviews. Many platforming fans are testing the game out for themselves on PC and Xbox One, but may be discovering that its unforgiving difficulty is a little too much for them to handle. Luckily, there’s a trick to make the game a bit easier for those that are having trouble conquering its stages....

Some of the best content in The Outer Worlds were the side missions, and the same could be said of the Peril on Gorgon DLC. One of these optional tasks is called The Electric Fling, and will have you scouring all of Gorgon searching for phonographs. Unlike Spacer’s Choice, we’re the best choice to help you find them all. After speaking to the former journalist Roscoe Clanton on Gorgon in The Outer Worlds DLC, you will begin the side quest The Electric Fling....

One gumshoe writer sets out to hunt down the real-life Carmen Sandiego, embarking on a long quest to discover who brought the notorious criminal to life. The realm of edutainment video games walked a difficult line to simultaneously educate and entertain. One major standout is Broderbund’s Carmen Sandiego series, which was a major success, spanning dozens of games over multiple decades, and even a television show on PBS. One writer who grew up with the series made it his personal quest to hunt down the real Carmen Sandiego, and he’s now reported success in his endeavor....

If you’ve ever found yourself shaking your head at the whole Whitmore College storyline of the hit CW show, The Vampire Diaries, then you have come to the right place. Welcome to the world of The Vampire Diaries. The popular supernatural drama featured a love triangle between two immortal brothers and one beautiful human teen girl, and the supernatural threats they had to battle both from outside forces and from within themselves....

I know The Witcher 3’s new DLC isn’t going to be some enormous expansion like Hearts of Stone or Blood & Wine. I know there aren’t going to be any new characters, or quests, or sprawling areas teeming with all manner of belligerent beasties - that doesn’t change the fact I’m more excited about this than like, half the new games due to launch this year. It’s probably just going to be a new outfit for Geralt, or Yen, or Triss....

Square Enix has revealed its cult-classic RPG, The World Ends with You, will be receiving an anime adaptation. The announcement came from a new, official Twitter account dedicated to The World Ends With You: Animation, accompanied with a link to a countdown timer leading up to a future announcement. Fans speculated that a The World Ends With You-related announcement was on the way after Anime Expo unveiled artwork featuring TWEWY characters as part of its official program artwork in May....

TimeSplitters is one of the classic first-person shooters developed by Free Radical Designs and published by Eidos Interactive. The first installment in the series was released in October 2000 for PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox, with the latest being TimeSplitters: Future Perfect in March 2005, for the same three consoles. Since then, we’ve been hearing different rumors about a new TimeSplitters game. Earlier today, THQ Nordic, replied to a question on Twitter asking about a potential TimeSplitters game, to which the company tagged Deep Silver with another question, “New TimeSplitters when?...

Tom Holland has two new movies out this month: the first, Cherry, arrived in theaters this past Friday (Feb. 26) ahead of a March 12 premiere on Apple TV+. It’s the first movie directed by Anthony and Joe Russo since Avengers: Endgame and has gotten a fair amount of attention and press. The second, Chaos Walking, will show up in theaters this coming Friday (March 5) and is an entirely different story altogether, Chaos Walking has gotten plenty of press–but all for the wrong reasons....

Warner Bros. and MGM finally cast Lara Croft in their hotly anticipated reboot of the Tomb Raider film franchise, opting to select an actress that’s sure to excite fans. It would seem that video games are getting primed to become the next big thing for Hollywood, with both Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed being two of the biggest attempts at bringing games to the big screen this year. While the quality of those films is still up in the air, the pairing of Warner Bros....

Open-World video games have to be one of the most played genres of this generation. And that is because of the fact that a lot of developers are opting to create huge worlds. This is done to add longevity to the game by keeping the players busy with side missions and tasks. Sony’s PlayStation 4 has seen a plethora of free roam games, since 2013 including a lot of amazing exclusives....

This article contains mild Top Gun: Maverick spoilers. (Really trailer-level stuff, folks.) What does a man like Tom Cruise’s Lt. Pete Mitchell, aka ace Navy pilot “Maverick,” look like in his old age? What would it be like for such a man to retire? That is a question that would seemingly be posed by the prospect of a legacy sequel released 36 years after the original and iconic Top Gun. And yet, the answer remains elusive in the final, and joyously satisfying, Top Gun: Maverick....

When parents took their kids to see Transformers: The Movie in 1986, they probably weren’t expecting quite as much death and mayhem. But in the feature-length spin-off from the hit Hasbro toy-line and accompanying TV show, the spectre of death was everywhere; one early scene alone saw the evil Decepticons hijack an Autobot space shuttle and execute all the heroes inside. It’s worth bearing in mind, first of all, that the Transformers TV series, which had been running for two years by that point, had never killed off any of its characters – even though they often engaged in protracted brawls and laser battles....

It’s the original Watch Dogs game’s seventh anniversary, and Ubisoft offers a small treat for all fans, showcasing the upcoming content for Watch Dogs: Legion. Fan-favorite Aiden Pearce, who is a protagonist of the first game, is making his appearance while traveling from Chicago to London for a mysterious corporate espionage job. Bringing familiar characters to Watch Dogs: Legion was a wise move from Ubisoft, as fans were pleased to know they will meet older Aiden Pearce in London this year....

There have been few RPGs quite like Undertale. In the game are a variety of quirky characters from the mysterious and maniacal Flowey, to the loveable goof Papyrus. A cool thing the game adds that lets these characters interact with the player is the cell phone. The cell phone works a bit differently when compared to phones in other games like GTA and Persona 5. This is because it does more than just being a means of communication....

New and veteran players alike are getting deep into the experience of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and there is an abundance of information to track in order to keep up with everything going on in the real-time world. To help, there is an informative app that can keep track of important and time sensitive information for Android — the ACNH Companion. This app offers several functions. First, there is a complete (or nearly complete, as the developer says he will be adding to it often) Wiki detailing all of the available fish, bugs, fossils, villagers, and furniture that can be acquired as a player progresses through the game....

Grand Theft Auto has easily become one of the most beloved games in the gaming world, especially since the latest installment. With its recent updates and online interactive gaming capabilities, gamers have been even more invested in the series than they ever have been before. As with many other games, players devote tons of precious hours attempting to uncover many of the hidden easter eggs and other in-game secrets… and believe me when I say that there are a lot of them in this series....

Anyone who plays competitive games long enough will inevitably end up in at least a few matches where they’re hopelessly outmatched. With the latest Valorant update, however, it’s now easier for players to wave the white flag and surrender when defeat is all but guaranteed. The ability to surrender was recently added to Valorant in its previous update, but it wasn’t without some shortcomings. Namely, it required the entire team to vote in favor of surrendering to call a match, regardless of mode....
