As one of the first NPCs that players can recruit in their adventures on the Unreliable, Felix may be one of the companions that players have by their side the most. Aside from being full of snide remarks, Felix is also a handy side-kick to bring into battle, even if his special ability isn’t as useful as it could be. Felix’s main battle focus is defeating Corporate enemies, which are quite common in the tail end of the game, as well as giving the player a decent Sneak buff....

The long wait is finally over as both the Scourge Invasion and Naxxramas raid are live in World of Warcraft Classic, bringing the final hurdle to clear and one step closer to the launch of the (yet to be announced) Burning Crusade expansion. Exactly like the original launch in 2006, you will need to grab 39 of your best friends to tackle the most difficult raid tier in the game. Although the current world-buff meta provides a considerable boost in power, you will still need to stock up on consumables....

This The Walking Dead: World Beyond review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 4 A lot of people are critical of The Walking Dead: World Beyond for what the show is. It’s a teen-centric supernatural drama set in a zombie universe, like MTV’s Teen Wolf but not sexy due to the unspoken body odor surrounding every character. That’s not to everyone’s taste, which is understandable. The Walking Dead isn’t to everyone’s tastes, either....

This Walking Dead article contains spoilers. Now that Maggie’s in charge, Negan’s time is almost up. That much is clear to the man who’s been in villain rehabilitation for the past two seasons when he’s drafted to join a group of Alexandrians on a mission to recover the food and supplies the settlement desperately needs after the war with the Whisperers. The journey back to Maggie’s old settlement involves navigating the dark, walker-infested subway tunnels of a city that Negan knows well, but that’s not the only reason he’s been chosen for the mission....

Many fans are excited that Netflix’s The Witcher will be restarting production in August, and the showrunner is giving fans even more to look forward to. In a recent interview, the Showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich announced that the show will be deviating from the books in one significant way. With Season 2 of The Witcher on the horizon, there is a lot to look forward to. Now that the show has confirmed that the controversial time skips will no longer be happening in the next season, fans are eager to see what else will or will not be included in the upcoming installments of the show....

Long before the premiere of The X-Files season 11, fans have known that the shadowy figure known only as the Cigarette Smoking Man, played by William B. Davis, has been playing the longest of games, working his own own agenda. Now that certain deeper details (including a name, of all things) have come to light as CSM takes center stage in “My Struggle III,” William B. Davis speaks to us about his character’s journey....

Video game publisher Electronic Arts offers Titanfall 2 fans a Battlefield 1 skin for mechs if they also play the company’s World War I first-person shooter. At this point in time, it’s pretty safe to say that a lot of first-person shooter fans are delving into all that Battlefield 1 has to offer since it released last week. With that being the case, should those gamers also be planning on playing Respawn Entertainment’s forthcoming Titanfall 2, then they will be privy to an exclusive skin in the mech-centric title thanks to a new cross-promotion courtesy of publisher Electronic Arts....

Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment released its new free-to-play battle royale game, Apex Legends, and with that, the developer has confirmed that Titanfall 3 is not in development. There were rumors that Apex Legends was a kind of stopgap release for Respawn after being acquired by EA while work continued on Titanfall 3. However, the developer has confirmed that Apex Legends has been the focus all along. Respawn’s lead producer Drew McCoy has said that most people believed that the developer had been working all this time on Titfanfall 3....

Limited edition controllers are a welcome and sought-after addition to any collector’s stash. Many of them are tied to related limited edition consoles and match nicely in a glass display case but there are plenty that were released standalone. While controllers have regularly come in multiple colors at least since the Nintendo 64 popularized doing so with vibrant see-through ’90s plastic, the last few console generations have brought a significant rise in unique, themed, and tie-in controllers....

Most of today’s titles see release primarily through one of two investment efforts on the part of a publisher. Most games receive the make-it or break-it effort of high-end production, such as Naughty Dog’s Uncharted franchise and the second group consists of the low budget shout-outs to homebrew programming that are made widely available for download — Pom Pom Game’s Astro Tripper for example. More often than not, the smaller downloads appeal to the retro-gamer as most other gamers look for the immersive experience....

Ubisoft offers freebies and refunds after fans of the Heroes of Might and Magic and Magic 7 Collector’s Edition criticize the company for ‘deceptive’ marketing. The Heroes of Might and Magic series has been incredibly popular ever since the turn-based strategy games launched in 1995 and it’s why so many fans were keen to get their hands on the recently released Heroes of Might and Magic 7. It’s also why many fans opted to get the Heroes of Might and Magic 7 Collector’s Edition, with the $100 bundle set to come with: an exclusive hero (Solmyr), an added scenario map, a figurine, a pack of tarot cards, a 96 page art book, a soundtrack, two lithographs and, crucially, a physical version of the game....

Ubisoft is already having a busy start to the year. Far Cry New Dawn launches tomorrow, and its third-person shooter The Division 2 is set to release next month. But that’s not all that the developer and publisher is working on, with the company having shared some information about its plans the forthcoming financial year. During the latest financial briefing, Ubisoft confirmed that it is planning to release between three and four AAA games during the next financial year....

One editor talks about his recent exposure to the Uncharted franchise, and how the Naughty Dog-developed series left a profound mark on his outlook of gaming. Spoilers follow. I had never really understood the hype surrounding the Uncharted series. PlayStation fans the world over spoke to its quality, while others opted to berate reviewers that dared to give each new entry anything lower than a 9 out of 10. Despite all the hubbub over what Nathan Drake was getting up to with the arrival of each installment, I largely ignored it....

Without Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End to help anchor Sony’s 2015 release schedule due to the title’s delay into 2016, fans are now turning their attention to Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection to get that treasure hunting fix. Featuring all three previous Uncharted titles from the PlayStation 3, developer BluePoint Games has rebuilt each game with updated gameplay and graphics for PlayStation 4 owners. In addition to releasing a spoiler filled story trailer that details all three games, Naughty Dog has revealed a few more tidbits of information about the experience....

Naughty Dog reveals more details surrounding the multiplayer of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, including the fact that multiplayer DLC can be unlocked in-game. It’s almost time for another of the most anticipated games of 2016 to see release. On May 10, the Uncharted series is due to see its final iteration through the release of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. However, developer Naughty Dog will no doubt be hoping that the game’s multiplayer will prove to be just as enthralling as the single player mode’s story, and has revealed that there will be a certain level of multiplayer parity for all users....

Valorant has been out for a little bit over a month now, and players are getting more and more familiar with the game, it’s mechanics, and the ten different Agents available to play in the closed beta. These Agents are split into four different classes: Initiator, Controller, Duelist, and Sentinel. Omen fits into the Controller category and can be pretty effective in the right hands. Let’s take a look at Omen and some tips on how to get the most out of playing him:...

VALORANT is free to download and play, so like many free blockbuster games before it, unlocking new content can be a tedious process—the point being that these processes can, of course, be alleviated by spending real world money. Since the game revolves around a central cast of heroes (called Agents in its in-game parlance) the first marker of progress for new VALORANT players becomes unlocking its full roster. Eventually this task hinges upon activating “Contracts,” a system never outright explained within the game....

Once upon a time, before Twitch and Tiktok and even when YouTube was in its infancy, I had to decide what to do with my life. As other high school seniors were filling out early admissions college applications, I was torn between two things: gaming and theatre. Video games had been my favorite thing since I could barely hold a controller, and I grew up wanting to write for Nintendo Power....

A game by the name of Walking Simulator looks suspiciously like Kojima Productions’ most recent undertaking Death Stranding. Obviously that must have been entirely coincidental and not intentional in the slightest, because it’s not like anyone out there has described Death Stranding as being nothing more than a walking simulator or anything. Except for the fact that that’s exactly what people have done, criticizing Death Stranding for being just so dang boring....
