With over two hundred weapons available in the game, there is no shortage of options to choose from....
This article contains spoilers for Welcome to Chippendales episodes 1 and 2. Fans of Downton Abbey actor Dan Stevens will likely find themselves unsettled by his role in Hulu’s new true crime drama, Welcome to Chippendales. Although Stevens has certainly played villains before, and none so iconic as his murdering psychopath David in 2014’s The Guest, in the new limited series from the creator of Pam & Tommy he stars as real life creep Paul Snider, who murdered his wife Dorothy Stratten (Nicola Peltz Beckham) in 1980 and took his own life soon after....
Final Fantasy is one of the most premiere video game franchises. Along with the likes of Dragon Quest, many JRPGs were heavily defined by Final Fantasy. Although it isn’t as apparent in some of the mainline games, Final Fantasy’s gameplay at the time was very much based on the class system. Good examples of this are games like Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy V, each of which has an incredibly advanced class system....
What Does Cloud Archive Mean? A cloud archive is a service involving vendor storage of client data sets in the vendor’s own infrastructure. Like other cloud services, the cloud archive happens through the web – data gets moved from on-premise, in-house systems to a cloud destination somewhere in the vendor’s network. A cloud archive with data retrieval capability is one of the most basic and fundamental cloud services that vendors provide in today’s technology....

Players will need to act fast, however, as the game is only available until 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET today.

There are a lot of long games out there that will allow the players to get emerged into the story for hours on end. But The Witcher 3 is one of the longest RPGs. It can take several hundred hours to finish the game. That’s thanks to the large number of quests Geralt, and the player alongside him can take on. Besides the main storyline in which Geralt searches for Ciri, there are also plenty of side quests, Witcher contracts, and treasure hunts....
The entire XCOM subreddit is full of sexy snake waifus because of XCOM: Chimera Squad. XCOM: Chimera Squad comes out on Thursday. For the first time, you’ll be able to take command of a mixed squad full of humans, Sectoids, Mutons, and even Vipers. Your squad is tasked with the preservation of City 31, a shining example of what aliens and humans can do once they put their differences aside and try to work together....
If you can find the time to pull yourself away from gawking at the giant container ship currently stuck in the Suez Canal, you’ll find that this year is starting to heat up in terms of game releases. The middle of March saw the next-gen update to Avengers, which massively improves the experience. On March 26th Hazelight Studios’ It Takes Two released to rave reviews, with praise pointed at the art style and impressive co-op mechanics....
Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim - an animated prequel film set 250 years before the events of The Fellowship of the Ring - is officially on its way. The film will follow the story of Helm Hammerhand - a legendary King of Rohan. While J.R.R. Tolkien has given some detail of Helm Hammerhand’s life events in the books’ appendices, the specifics of Hammerhand’s story have never been told....
Today’s announcement that the Nintendo Switch will be receiving a port from both the Bioshock and Borderlands series with a physical release was great news at first, but less so as details emerged about the way in which the developer is handling the physical copy. On one hand, physical releases are great for collectors who want to display their game, or for those who want to sell, trade, or let friends borrow later a game in the future....
Marvel stars Tom Holland and Daniel Kaluuya recently engaged in a virtual chat as part of Variety’s Actors on Actors series to discuss each other’s careers and techniques. While Peter Parker is undoubtedly Holland’s most iconic role, Kaluuya is much more renowned for his Oscar-nominated lead performance in Jordan Peele’s terrifying social thriller Get Out than his supporting turn in Black Panther. One interesting revelation from the two actors’ conversation is that Holland is interested in joining Kaluuya in the horror genre....
Torchlight 3 has seen major design changes since the sequel was first announced, but there was never any doubt that pets would be back and better than ever – now with Cats, Dragons, and more. With the game set to exit early access on October 13, we spoke with Echtra CEO and Torchlight franchise creator Max Schaefer about how the pet system has evolved and what to expect. “The big things we’ve done with pets is make it where there’s no longer just the pick you make at the beginning of your journey, and now that’s what you have forever....
Earlier this week, I was invited to tour an island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons with Maisie Williams. That’s right, I waltzed onto Arya Stark’s island and whacked her with my net! Like millions of other people in the world, she’s a massive fan of Animal Crossing. That’s why she teamed up with H&M to create Looop Island, a gorgeous playground designed to promote a sustainable future for fashion and the active recycling of old garments to reduce harm on the environment....
This Twin Peaks review contains spoilers. We must’ve done something to displease Lynch, for now we are being punished. Has one of you been watching the series on your iPhone or something? Episode 7 was bordering on coherency and, frankly, that was David Lynch being a bit too generous. “Now, survive this!” screams Part 8 at us long-suffering Twin Peaks fans. We got to see a little bit of what’s going on with Evil Cooper, who gets double-crossed, shot, and then has his insides torn open by a bunch of painted vagrants so that he can birth an orb with BOB’s face on it (so that’s how BOBs are born!...
Ubisoft has finally added XP boosts to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, a premium purchase that increases your leveling rate by 50%. This is nothing new for Assassin’s Creed games – as XP boosts were also present in Odyssey – but plenty of folks were hoping this might be the game in which Ubisoft bucked the trend. Still, there’s clearly a market for this sort of microtransaction. “As more and more post-launch content becomes available, we want to give the option to players to advance their progression,” said Ubisoft....
When it comes to games, Ubisoft has been holding steady. Despite the confusing temporary appearance of the female version of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla’s protagonist, the game itself seems to be on track. Behind the scenes however, the company is in hot water. There have been multiple accusations leveled against Ubisoft recently, coming over several days and from multiple sources. Most of these have been of sexual misconduct, and the accusations have come from many former female employees....
Ever since it was first made clear that a new assassin would be taking over for Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad in Assassin’s Creed 2, players had been speculating about the possibility of a female protagonist - because Desmond Miles is merely reliving the experiences of his ancestors (which wouldn’t outright be limited to male-only ancestors). Instead, Ubisoft introduced players to Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and despite an appearance by Shao Jun in the AC spin-off film, Embers, the team followed-up the fan-favorite Italian with another man, Connor Kenway, for Assassin’s Creed 3....
Despite facing numerous obstacles outside of their control, at least a few teams of players for the newest raid in The Division 2 have finally beaten Operation Dark Hours on console, after nearly a day and a half of trying to complete it. With PC players having much less trouble and taking less time to complete the same raid, developer Massive Entertainment has said it is open to the possibility of making changes to Dark Hours on consoles....
