It was almost a year ago that the PS4-exclusive Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End blew away already lofty expectations, and fans have been eager for more from the award-winning franchise. Naughty Dog is currently working towards delivering a story-based expansion called Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, based around the characters of Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross, both of which will be intimately familiar to veterans of the series. As of this weekend, three new images starring the aforementioned characters have now been released for the upcoming downloadable content....

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is an excellent open-world Viking romp with so much to discover while traversing the lands of England and Asgard. If you have been uncovering as many secrets as possible and unlocking all the gear you can, then you will likely have already spent hours exploring Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, but that doesn’t mean every puzzle will be simple for you. In this guide we’re going over one of the most unique and esoteric quests in the game, Well-Traveled, and we’re solving the mysterious puzzle to unseal the well....

The argument about whether video games cause violence is as old as time. But a newer take regarding the effects of video games is that they can actually be quite helpful for depression sufferers. There are many that have intuitively argued that video games worsen depression, largely because they can turn into a time-suck or be a vice that is used to avoid dealing with issues. With over 26% of the US adult population suffering from depression, it is worthwhile to explore any potential avenues that could have positive effects on the mental condition....

Nearly two years after the launch of the HTC Vive, the high-end VR headset is getting its first major upgrade. After speculation and leaks, HTC has officially confirmed that the Vive Pro is on the way and the new piece of hardware will address some of the key complaints filed against the original device. There’s no denying that the Vive is a fantastic piece of hardware and it is, at least, on par with the Oculus Rift....

Warframe recently launched its 47th playable character – Yareli. This agile Frame is unique from others, featuring her own K-Drive and using the devastating powers of the ocean to overwhelm her opponents. What makes her even more unique, however, is that she was inspired by fan art from the passionate Warframe community. We had a chance to connect with Matias Tapia – the concept artist behind Yareli – along with Kaz Adams, Pablo Alonso, and Michael Skyers – Weapons Lead, Senior Game Designer, and 3D Character Artist – at Digital Extremes, to learn more about Yareli and the unique process that brought her to life....

Since its initial release in March 2013, Warframe has delivered consistent updates and built a fanbase totaling over 50 million, and the popular multiplayer shooter isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. In a video released on YouTube a few days ago, Warframe announced a plethora of new content is coming in spring 2021. It seems developer Digital Extremes has been busy, as the most recent Warframe update came earlier this month, bringing with it new rewards and challenges....

World of Tanks, a massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) developed by Belarusian company Wargaming, which features midcentury era combat vehicles, is coming to Steam in 2021. The free-to-play military game, which was first released online on April 12, 2011, in Europe and North America, has received generally favorable reviews on all platforms. Wargaming, headquartered in Nicosia, Cyprus, originally focused on turn-based strategy and real-time strategy games. Since 2009, however, the studio has developed free-to-play online action games in 2009, including World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes....

Call of Duty: Warzone is an incredibly entertaining battle royale to play, but its maze of menus isn’t the cleanest. On that note, some players have called attention to the odd obscurity of weapon blueprints – they don’t actually show the names of the guns. Don’t get me wrong, weapon blueprints are awesome. They contain some of the most aesthetically pleasing tools of destruction out there, further extending player individuality and customization in the game....

You know the saying, ‘never meet your heroes’? Well, that can be true of never revisiting childhood favourites. That movie you loved as a kid? It’s bad - unless we’re talking about Scooby-Doo, those movies still rock. I replayed GTA: San Andreas recently, and wow, that game is hard to look at. The sky looks pretty with its orange hues, but everything else looks like an undercooked cake that falls out of the tin as you pull it out of the oven....

Snorlax, Sudowoodo, Kecleon, and Voltorb - what have they all got in common? Not a shared type, or a unique propensity for learning a rare move. It’s not anything anatomical either - there’s a bit of a difference between a tree made of rocks and a sentient Poke Ball. What these four ‘mons have in common is that they’re massive pains in the arse because of the fact they have real significance in the overworld....

When Sony officially revealed what the PlayStation 5 looked like back in June, people had a field day with how ridiculous the console looked. Many mocked the console’s design as resembling a WiFi router, a Keurig, the Pope’s hat, and even an ice cream sandwich. The reveal even went on to create a meme of what the PS5 resembled. However, even though Sony’s new machine looks radically different than previous consoles, I think it is time to admit that the sleek white design is, dare I say, a sexy and progressive change of pace....

Cobra Kai Never Dies! After Netflix acquired Cobra Kai from YouTube Red, it quickly became the #1 streaming show in America. The renewed interest has fans wondering what styles of Karate are portrayed in the series, just like they did back in the 80s when The Karate Kid first came out. Cobra Kai takes plenty of artistic liberties with its portrayals of martial arts training (it’s a show after all – if a sensei really trained his teenagers in a junkyard, their parents would have conniptions)....

Bethesda is well known for creating quality short stories in their games, and we’ve compiled 6 of what we believe are the saddest stories hidden around the commonwealth in Fallout 4. Bethesda is a company with many years of great storytelling experience, and the company has become quite adept at crafting many touching short stories that populate both the Elder Scrolls and the Fallout series. Whether it’s a tragic family story at a lighthouse or even a tree-based moral dilemma, the company is certainly capable of scripting some touching stories and putting them in unexpected places, and such is certainly the case in Fallout 4....

Yesterday, the official Twitter account of The Sims posted a video teasing that a new expansion pack is on the way for The Sims 4. True to its word, EA dropped a new trailer for The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle expansion, which as the name suggests, promotes a more environmentally-friendly way for players to live out their digital lives in the popular life-simulator game. As revealed in a new trailer that was released alongside the announcement, The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle expansion pack will be available to purchase for the PC and consoles starting June 5th....

Tabletop game Gloomhaven has been one of the biggest in the genre since its release in 2017, and has recently had its debut online in the form of a tactical RPG from Asmodee Digital. It’s a game of up to four players who choose characters with special skills to form a guild of adventurers attempting to uncover the mysteries of a fantasy world plagued by corruption and darkness. It’s also set to get a sequel in Frosthaven, which has just become the most-funded Kickstarter boardgame of all time....

The Troubleshooters is the newest project by Swedish tabletop role-playing game makers Helmgast AB, whose previous efforts include dark fantasy games Kult: Divinity Lost and Eon. While the majority of the company’s past projects were created exclusively with a Swedish audience in mind, its newest will be its second-ever intended for an international market. What makes The Troubleshooters unique from its past efforts is its setting: a world directly inspired by Belgian and French comics from the 1960s....

Not too long ago, Telltale Games gave fans a sneak peek of what’s to come with The Walking Dead: The Final Season by showing off the first 15 minutes of gameplay, wherein Clementine adopts a leadership role as she takes care of the orphaned AJ. As it so happens, the studio has been teasing the conclusion of Clementine’s tale with the upcoming content, but just because players of the episodic series expect closure, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be the end of the story completely....

The future of The Walking Dead: The Final Season has been hanging in the balance since developer Telltale Studios announced its planned closure. Now it appears that the developer has requested the game be pulled from digital distributors. The Walking Dead: The Final Season was available across a wide variety of digital game distribution platforms including the Xbox Games Store, PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Steam, GOG, and others. As of this writing, the game is no longer available for purchase on any of these networks, with the exception of the Nintendo eShop....

The fantasy franchise The Witcher has had its fair share of various monsters and enemies that Geralt of Rivia has to fight against. After all, the witchers are primarily known as monster hunters. They make money by accepting contracts that usually (but not always) result in them slaying various beasts. But Geralt has a special talent to get involved in various other issues, from regicides to multiple romances with beautiful sorceresses....

Quests are never straightforward in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, as they often take unexpected twists and turns, usually ending up being darker or more supernatural than expected; sometimes even both. From the name of this secondary quest, Carnal Sins, one can expect a series of sinister happenings. Carnal Sins can be started by speaking to Dandelion in The Chameleon (once the establishment that was known as the Rosemary and Thyme) after the previous quest involving this important character, known as Cabaret, has been completed....
