Matches in Call of Duty: Warzone can usually be characterized by their fast-paced action, except of course, when certain buildings only have one way in and campers decide to wait until someone is unfortunate enough to wander in. Such behavior is common in matches, and it can feel frustrating, though a simple solution is available, and it features a tool from the main campaign of the game. Reddit user u/sintaroactual posted a brief video showing off how the tac-ladder is used in the main game campaign, and how it would be a perfect tool to allow access to these kinds of buildings with only one way in or out....

The big Destiny 2 Next-Gen update is here and fans have been quick to see exactly how Bungie has improved the experience for those lucky players to have a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S before 2021. Alongside a number of Next-Gen performance enhancements in Destiny 2, like an increased framerate cap with improved resolutions, the biggest improvement would have to be the new loading speed. The load screens in Destiny 2 are notorious for leaving players hovering in orbit over planets or flying through slip-space for huge amounts of time, an issue that plagued the original game even more egregiously....

With players always eager to grab the next best game off the shelves (or download with trigger-happy gaming thumbs), let’s look at the top 15 games in all of PlayStation history that everyone couldn’t wait to buy....

It is incredibly rare that I purchase a game more than once across multiple systems. As a recent college graduate, I have never had much of a disposable income, so each game I add to my collection needs to be important to me. Occasionally, exceptions must be made to this rule when a game’s creators have gone above and beyond in creating a a phenomenal work of art. Hitbox Team is one such developer....

It’s the reality TV show that has shaken up the game: when The Traitors arrived in the UK just before Christmas, for a show so at odds with the ‘season of good will’ it was a surprise hit, pulling in over three million viewers and sending social media into meme meltdown.

The Walking Dead season 10’s original finale, “A Certain Doom,” ended with a shocking reveal that completely shattered the status quo of the show. Just as Eugene, Yumiko, Princess, and Ezekiel were about to meet up with the mysterious Stephanie, they were intercepted by a new group of armored soldiers that likely look very familiar to fans of Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard’s original comic book. They’re of course the Commonwealth, a new faction that are unlike anything Alexandria has ever faced....

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 20 One of the hallmarks of The Walking Dead has been a pretty strong ethos of community survival. No man is an island, and one of the things real-life disaster preppers mention is that forming a community of people with different skills and similar values is an invaluable part of continuing on past the fall of mankind. The cold open of this week’s episode makes that abundantly clear; from scenes of Carol getting rescued by Daryl in the early days to Carol leading a one-woman assault on Terminus in “No Sanctuary”, having friends has always been the key to surviving the stickiest of situations....

On the same lines, there are also some bosses that are way out of Triss’s league....

Ever since 2010’s Tron: Legacy revived the classic sci-fi film franchise about the inner world of computers, fans have been hoping Disney would follow up with another sequel. Good news for them then, because it looks like Tron 3 is not only in development, but already has a star attached to it. If this sounds at all familiar, that’s because Tron 3 had actually been greenlit back in 2015, originally going by the name Tron: Ascension....

Jett is a highly mobile agent that can excel at dueling and reaching areas that are off limits to most other players. This makes the character a dangerous threat in capable hands, and her strengths are offset by having a lack of utility for the rest of her team relative to other agents. If a player is thinking of making Jett their main agent in VALORANT, they need to be aware that a team would be right to expect a certain level of individual performance given the lack of utility sacrificed to select her....

Some of the studios that have been affected by these regulations are EA, Aspyr Media, Certain Affinity, and Owlchemy Labs, which have all halted operations in Texas for the week, according to statements received by Kotaku....

With the recent addition of Conclave-exclusive mods being accessible in PvE, many players have forgotten of Warframe’s PvP offering. The Conclave has its own balance, maps, modes, and even mods. These mods range from rather useless to game-changing, both for the mode itself and PvE activities. Weapon augments, Warframe augments, and powerful conditional buffs are all tied to Conclave. While not all Conclave mods can be used in PvE, hopefully, all of them will be converted at some point....

Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition and the Indomitus launch box are nearly upon us, and what better way to get ready than to learn about one half of the contents: The Necrons. We took a look at the Space Marines last week, so it’s only fair! The introduction of Necrons to the Warhammer 40,000 universe is a little murky and it just goes to show that there is much that we don’t know yet....

Like all forms of storytelling, video games have many characters for people to relate to. If players have ever wondered which characters they are most similar to from some of the most iconic franchises in the world, they may choose to determine it through their MBTI.
