Cyberpunk 2077 launched to mostly positive reviews from critics though the game’s underwhelming performance on all systems has been a matter of concern for many. Console fans are especially disappointed by the plethora of game-breaking issues that plague the game and haven’t been fixed yet. Many have taken to social media to show their frustrations and as it seems, got “Cyberbug2077” to trend on Twitter. The performance of Cyberpunk 2077 on base PS4 and Xbox One is not looking good....

Valheim is all about exploration and survival, but it wouldn’t be a very good Viking game without boarding a longship and setting sail across the open waters. Currently, the ocean biomes are largely desolate, with the exception of Fish, Leviathans, and Sea Serpents. However, the developers have expressed their plans to expand upon this biome that is fundamental to the Viking culture. Here’s our guide to what you can currently expect to find in the ocean biome....

As new players explore the biomes of Valheim, they will eventually come across their first Burial Chamber, leading them to their first Surtling Core. Once players have picked one up, and if they also have come across fine wood, they will get the recipe for something called a Ward. What is a Ward The Ward is described in Valheim as something that “Emits a magical seal on the nearby surroundings that prevents other players from constructing buildings or opening doors....

Last week, an update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive induced a big change to the game’s skin trading and the economy surrounding it. Valve has finally made an effort to turn CS:GO’s skin trading system around. The developer has extended its seven-day trade cooldown to the game’s items received in trades, which includes skins. This means that players will have to wait seven days before the item they just received in a trade can be traded again or sold through the marketplace....

There are only three more episodes of WandaVision and a behind-the-scenes documentary remaining, with storylines to tie up and many questions unanswered. This morning, Disney Plus released a scene from tomorrow’s episode of WandaVision and this brief scene reveals quite a bit of information while also raising new questions. As each episode so far has played homage to a previous decade of television, this clip offers the first taste of a take on a 2000s aesthetic....

Following the confirmation of the game’s existence last week, the video game publisher Activision and developer Sledgehammer Games finally debuted the official reveal trailer for the forthcoming first-person shooter, Call of Duty: WW2 during a worldwide livestream event today. As one would expect, the footage is comprised of plenty of intense action that depicts the grueling nature inherent within the combat of the Second Great War. As seen below in the first official trailer for Call of Duty: WW2, the video’s contents have been taken from actual in-game footage, and begins on D-Day with the storming of the beaches of Normandy....

These days remasters are all the rage, offering fans updated versions of their favorite games from days past with visuals and sound on-par with modern day titles. However, these projects can take ages for developers to produce, and there’s no guarantee that any one game will even get a remake. Fortunately, emulators have made great strides in not only accurately reproducing games, but also making dramatic improvements to how they look, sound, and perform....

The fifth season of Stranger Things will be the last for the flagship Netflix series, but fret not, for it appears that the streamer has found something… stranger. Wednesday certainly appears to be bigger after its first week of release, in any case. Netflix confirmed as much when the company trumpeted viewing data for the Jenna Ortega series late Tuesday afternoon. According to the streaming service, Wednesday chalked up 341.2 million hours of viewership in its first seven days, as per Netflix’s own internal analytics....

As famously quipped by director John Frankenheimer, “casting is 65% of the battle”. Getting casting right can not only mean critical success but commercial achievement – finding the right actor for the part is crucially important. However, that doesn’t mean the first choice in necessarily the right choice. Oftentimes studios and directors will offer well-established actors key roles first, hoping their celebrity will guarantee a project commercial success. If they turn down the part, whether due to scheduling, price, or simple lack of interest, then the creative team can approach their real favorite choice....

In Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood, players will take control of Cahal, a shapeshifting eco-terrorist fighting against the Endron mega-corporation. Cahal is an experienced fighter able to take advantage of three different forms, including wolf form (Lupus), human form (Homid), and werewolf form (Crinos). Nacon, publisher for Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood, dropped a trailer today that shows off the carnage each form is capable of.

This The Orville review contains spoilers. The Orville Season 1 Episode 11 In one of the most balanced episodes of The Orville, the writers managed to give full service to more than one character development arc while still delivering an utterly unique storyline packed with heart-pounding action, admirably cogent techno-babble, and a skillfully embedded metaphor referring back to what the characters of focus were going through. Together with its fun humor and heartfelt dialogue, “New Dimensions” ranks high among the season one episodes leading into the finale....

Strangerville is the latest game pack for The Sims 4 and it comes with a story based element, which takes place in the new town of the same name. While many players are keen to explore the mystery for themselves, others just want to know the secret. If you’re eager to learn about the mystery without buying the pack or playing through the story in game, here’s what to expect in Strangerville....

This article contains spoilers for The Flight Attendant seasons 1 and 2 and Sherlock. The best mind palaces—a mnemonic device in which you create a space to store memories, information, and other subconscious scraps—are those built to resemble someplace familiar or personal. That makes it incredibly ironic, then, that all of Cassie Bowden’s (Kaley Cuoco) mind palaces are hotels. The internationally jetsetting flight attendant and (very) amateur detective at the heart of HBO Max’s The Flight Attendant spent season 1 trapped in a mental recreation of the lavish Bangkok hotel suite in which she woke to find her dead one-night-stand Alex (Michiel Huisman) with his throat slit....

This article contains The Wheel of Time spoilers. Being familiar with the books upon which a television adaptation is based already sets up even the most optimistic viewer for disappointment, but this is particularly true for readers who watch The Wheel of Time. The Eye of the World, the first book in the Robert Jordan series, is told from the point of view of the one who is quickly recognized as a candidate for the Dragon Reborn....

It’s hard to talk about the greatest video games ever made without mentioning the absolute masterpiece that is The Witcher 3. CD Projekt Red’s work on The Witcher series was lauded from the very first entry, even though the game did admittedly have some major drawbacks that took away from the overall experience. However, the studio learned from their experiences developing the first game and its sequel and applied all their learnings into the third game to create a game that is easily one of the greatest video games of all time....

If there’s one thing The Witcher games do better than most other RPGs, it’s making the players regret any decision they take. In The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, specifically, there are no moral black and white choices– everything is a shade of grey. The most Geralt can do is damage control by choosing the lesser evil. It’s a genius move too, that design gives incentives for replay. One quest does stand out as the most emotionally taxing and that would be the “Ladies of the Wood” during the first act....

This should really come as no surprise, but we’re pretty sure that CD Projekt Red is full of nerds. Who else would slip a quantum physics joke into Witcher 3 but some geeks trying to make like-minded souls laugh at the expense of everyone else’s confusion? Thankfully, I’m here to explain the joke and thus ruin it for literally every living being on Earth. You’re welcome. First, kudos to Reddit user DaedlyDerp64 for tracking down the Letter to Gaetan from the sidequest “Take What You Want,” which you get only if you spare Gaetan’s life during the “Where The Cat And Wolf Play…” sidequest....
