You can’t really discuss the best games ever made without mentioning The Witcher 3. The fact of the matter is that this game has gone above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to delivering the quintessential role-playing experience. Getting into the boots of Geralt has never been more fun, immersive, or engrossing than The Witcher 3, which swept all the awards it could possibly get when it was released in 2015 — and rightfully so....

Triss Merigold is an excellent example of a character that got more love in the adaptations than in the books. Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher author, wrote Triss as a supporting character. She isn’t as significant for the story as Triss’s fans would like her to be. And when she does appear, she sometimes does more harm than good. The CD Projekt Red changed all that. Unlike Yennefer, Triss was the major love interest for Geralt in the first two games....

There is no denying the success and cultural impact the Call Of Duty franchise has had on the video game world. First developed by Infinity War, and published by Activision for the PC in 2003, the first-person shooter has become a best seller with gamers across the world having logged over 25 billion hours playing time. Taking players through a series of campaigns set during World War II, the original game received rave reviews from critics and quickly gained a rabid fan base....

Anarchy Reigns has the potential to be a sleeper hit this year in gaming, what with its unique style of gameplay that really doesn’t fit into any definitive category. It appears to be an attempt at expanding the gameplay from its predecessor MadWorld into a multiplayer game - an ambitious project to say the least. It doesn’t hurt that the character roster so far is a wide assortment of interesting faces both old and new, not the least of which is the protagonist from fellow Platinum Games title Bayonetta....

Twitch has found out about the highly inappropriate (and sometimes illegal) streams taking over the Artifact channel, and they’ve taken action. It looks like the party’s over. No sooner do we find out about the Artifact Twitch directory being used for basically anything BUT streaming Artifact do we also find out that Twitch has caught on and is shutting the party down. As a quick refresher, the Artifact Twitch directory has–for whatever reason–become a haven for illegal streams....

The Just Cause movie has been in the rumor mill since 2011, but we only began to see it make the news again recently. The project is being adapted for the big screen by writer Derek Kolstad, widely known for John Wick films. In a new interview, Kolstad revealed that the upcoming Just Cause film would blend the best parts from the Indiana Jones and James Bond series. Started back in 2006 by Swedish developer Avalanche Studios, the Just Cause series has received four different action-packed entries so far....

Valheim is a refreshing new approach to the survival genre. The game provides endless ways to customize and decorate buildings, and the controls are surprisingly intuitive. Coffee Stain Studios have produced a much needed bright spot in the gaming community. One of the first steps in every survival game is creating a structure for storage and safety. Gamers new to Valheim will want to plan for their first building as soon as they spawn in....

The open world survival game Valheim has recently taken the gaming world by storm. The team behind the title, Iron Gate, managed to create a multiplayer experience that players have been diving into around the world. Set in a mythical world of Vikings and dangerous beasts, Valheim has a unique but modest graphics style. Those wondering if it is better to play with Vulkan enabled should read this guide for more information....

Sentinels defeat Cloud 9 and win the PAX Arena Invitational VALORANT event. This is the team’s first major tournament victory. The finals began on Ascent, a map where Sentinels dominated the opposition. The team started with a dominating 7-1 start. Cloud 9’s Tenz’s heroic Jett plays brought Cloud 9 back, however, Sinatraa and crew were able to stave off the opponent and they won 13-11. Unfortunately for the champions, Cloud 9 expectedly managed to dominate on Haven, winning 13-6....

Regional leaderboards may be on the way to VALORANT, Riot Games’ popular first-person shooter. The future update was teased in yesterday’s Dev Diaries episode, where David “Milkcow” Cole, the game’s competitive design lead, stated the idea was “already in the works.” The update is expected to come sometime in Episode II, which does not yet have a confirmed start date. The October 5th Dev Diaries episode mainly addresses updates coming in Act III of Episode I, which is set to begin on October 13th....

The story of 2021’s Dune begins with a kid falling in love with a book. Before he was the world-famous film director of Arrival and Blade Runner 2049, Denis Villeneuve was a teenager who devoured sci-fi novels. When he was “between 13 and 14,” he remembered seeing “these eyes.” The iridescent blue eyes were on the face of a man staring at the young Villeneuve, painted by Wojciech Siudmak, for the 1970 French paperback translation of Dune....

This WandaVision review contains spoilers. WandaVision Episode 8 Recap episodes are a mainstay of sitcom TV. This week WandaVision takes on the trope in what is easily the most heartbreaking episode of the Marvel series yet. While WandaVision began its season as a broad comedy playing on the archetypes and style of classic American television, there was always something darker lurking underneath. This week in a darkly entertaining adventure into the past, Agatha leads Wanda through a nightmarish house made of Wanda’s own memories....

There are a staggering amount of mission and gameplay types in Warframe, and, while the player base is thankful to the developers for them, some of them are less popular than others. That’s because, at its core, Warframe is a game that involves a metric ton of grinding and repetition to get the best results. That means that certain mission types are better suited for grinding efficiently or reaping the most out of the time played, seeing as the game is free....

Warhammer: Chaosbane has released details for both its endgame and future content in its Season Pass. For those not familiar with the upcoming title, Warhammer: Chaosbane feels like a polished mix between Diablo 3 and Grim Dawn, set within the brutal Warhammer universe. Early reviews describe it as close to the lore but also appealing generally to anyone who enjoys Action RPGs. The developers at Eko Software have laid out the plans for the post-launch of the game, beginning in the summer with the addition of Difficulty level 11 and new elements in the form of rings....

When he isn’t enforcing Emperor Palpatine’s stranglehold over the galaxy, Darth Vader makes time for the homies. But being a Dark Lord of the Sith, Vader can’t stop himself from dunking on his boy Franklin. Or at least that’s what a new fan edit would have us believe. A rising trend of GTA 5 fan videos features a recreation of a famous scene. In the original, protagonist Franklin comes home with his friend Lamar beside him....

Who keeps letting the Watch Dogs out? Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs 2 just can’t keep a secret, and a new trailer leak reveals another unintentional sneak peek prior to E3 2016. It has been tough sledding for Ubisoft lately when it comes to Watch Dogs 2. What could’ve been one of the surprise bombshell announcements of E3 2016 has instead been beset on all sides by leaks that, while generating a lot of hype in their own right, have certainly dulled gamer anticipation ahead of Ubisoft’s E3 2016 presentation....

There was a time when Electronic Entertainment Expo could only be enjoyed in one of two ways: by physically attending the biggest video game trade show in the world, or by streaming the action from a computer. Last year, Sony decided to up the ante for its diehard fans that couldn’t make it to E3 by hosting livestreams of their press conference in theaters across America. The event was free, but limited, with many states getting passed over, leaving many super Sony fans out in the cold....

This article contains spoilers for both screen versions of West Side Story. For most of his career, Steven Spielberg has spoken of his desire to make a musical. It turned out to be well worth the wait. Despite harboring serious reservations about a remake of one of the finest movie musicals ever made—Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins’ West Side Story movie from 1961—I was entirely won over by Spielberg’s sparkling and passionate reimagining of the original 1957 Broadway show....

With Ubisoft Forward coming to a close, and Microsoft’s digital event right around the corner, gamers are probably wondering, why is E3 still around? While the showroom floor is great to get first-hand glimpses of new game demos, and for media outlets to get some exclusive interviews with developers, a large portion of fans just stream the event from home, or just watch all the game trailers the following day....

Although the story of the Kaldwin dynasty ended in Dishonored 2, developer Dinga Bakaba from Arkane has indicated the studio’s interest in continuing the franchise, and has pushed back on the idea that the end of Corvo and Emily’s stories means the end of the series. Though Dishonored 3 has yet to be announced, there are plenty of clear settings from the first two games’ lore that could provide a springboard for the third chapter’s success....
