Among all the video game subscription services available in the market today, Microsoft’s Xbox Live Gold is often the most criticized by players due to the overall value it provides players compared to its competitors. In 2020, Xbox players were more unhappy than not, with some thinking that Microsoft takes “quantity over quality approach” to selecting free games it offers monthly. This could potentially have something to do with the sheer value of Game Pass, but that’s neither here nor there for many subscribers....

It looks like Demon’s Souls Remastered has at least one secret that wasn’t in the original game. A new door hidden behind an illusory wall was discovered by a Redditor - the catch is that no one can figure out how to get past it. Reddit user OrganizedBonfire posted a video clip on the Demon’s Souls subreddit that shows them in world 1-3. They go through an illusory wall and find a locked door....

Sonic is still headed to the Tokyo Olympics this summer, and the seven bosses he will be faced with when he gets there were recently revealed. Sporting events around the world are currently on hold due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and the biggest casualty so far has been the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The Games were slated to take place this summer, but have instead been postponed until (at least) the summer of 2021....

Although 2020 was a trying year for a lot of publishers, THQ Nordic has had quite a solid run over the last 12 months, releasing several huge games from a variety of cult-franchises. From the Destroy All Humans remake, which was the first entry in the chaotic third-person shooter series since 2009, to Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, which finally resurrected the beloved fantasy RPG for modern audiences, the studio made a lot of dormant fanbases incredibly happy....

Respawn Entertainment announces that this weekend will be host to a double XP event for Titanfall 2, allowing players to progress through the ranks in half the time. Players who are looking to rank up fast in Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall 2 need look no further than this weekend. Starting Friday, the developers are allowing users to earn twice the usual amount of XP for a select time. From Friday the 9th of December through Sunday, Titanfall 2 players will be receiving double the amount of XP for their in-game pilots, when playing any of the game’s currently released online game modes....

Fans of Undertale and Deltarune had good reason to be excited this week. An update on the progress of Deltarune was promised, and, almost a week later, delivered. After a long period of radio silence, there’s finally some big news on Toby Fox’s current project. Undertale has become known throughout the video game scene and beyond. Created by a small team headed by Toby Fox (who did a huge chunk of the work himself), Undertale was generally well-received....

Are there too many video games coming out right now? The answer is yes, and this is after 4-5 major releases were pushed back to next year. That’s not stopping the industry from steam rolling ahead as we saw yesterday with the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 5 and as we’re seeing right now with Ubisoft unveiling the long-awaited next installment of the Rainbow Six franchise, validating rumors dating back to May of this year about development of the next game....

Despite being ten years old, the recent remake of FromSoftware’s cult classic Demon’s Souls is introducing the brutal adventure to a whole new legion of gamers as a PS5 launch title. The game is notable not only for its incredible difficulty, however. The new audience is observing the title with fresh eyes, experiencing all the surprises in store while venturing through the five Archstones. The way levels are designed and how players unwrap the mystery around the enemies and the environment is why it is so beloved....

Love Conquers All Many of the greatest stories ever told in literature, film, and poetry have had love as the primary force pushing the narrative (and the protagonist) forward. As most gamers have already noticed, the video game genre is no exception. From the early days of the NES all the way through the newest console generation, many of our favorite games are nothing more than an interactive love story once all the boss fights and puzzle-solving missions are stripped away....

The total playtime for Dontnod’s newest explorative mystery Twin Mirror is unexpectedly short and somewhat uncharacteristic of the studio, which may have partially led to reception of the game being less enthusiastic than anticipated. So far, Twin Mirror has not been well-received by critics, with average scores hovering between 5 to 6 out of 10. Earlier this year, Dontnod released Tell Me Why, following in the footsteps of its trending progressive platform, this time for the trans community and those struggling with mental health....

Twitch surprised many streamers yesterday by informing them that they are once again pursuing content takedown claims related to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). As the Twitch support team notes in the Twitter thread above, this issue dates back to June when Twitch started responding to takedown claims processed by the Recording Industry Association of America. The gist of the problem is that many Twitch streamers have used music and other copyrighted content in their streams for years now....

Underworld: Blood Wars, directed by Anna Foerster, is the fifth (and possibly final) installment in the Underworld franchise. In it, Kate Beckinsale reprises her role as the death dealer Selene, who is now trying to put an end to the ancient conflict between werewolves and vampires that has been waged for over 600 years. The thing is, there really isn’t much written about the animosity between vampires and werewolves in literature or old movies, and you would think it would be a natural....

Mario Kart is a game series that can unite people young and old. The series serves as a bridge between generations and, apparently, between Presidents and their granddaughters. United States President Joseph R. Biden made his first trip to Camp David with his family over the weekend. Located in western Maryland and operated by the United States Navy, Camp David has long served as a country retreat for the President and their family; as well as a place to host foreign dignitaries and officials....

Min-maxing in Genshin Impact is a rough endeavor. Even if you happen to have the good artifacts and weapons lying about, knowing which to pick and pair with what often winds up a confusing and cumbersome chore. No worries though, it looks like one fan has been hard at work to create tools that do all of that math for you in the form of Genshin Optimizer. There’s tons of RNG in Genshin, every venture into a dungeon is a bit of a crapshoot....

You can’t reach Valhalla alone (or create a build that becomes all the rage on the internet) without the right combination of food and Viking work-ethic. While we can’t help you with the latter, we have the perfect guide for the former. To keep you and your Viking friends well-fed, this represents the top food items and how they benefit your character in Valheim. No matter how far you’ve journeyed (or how long it took you to build recreations of famous Lord of the Rings locations), you can find something useful to eat....

New York, London, Paris, Munich, everybody talks about, um, Count Orlok? Yes, vampires are everywhere. Movies have documented them in tall mountains, small towns, icy landscapes, and in the desert wind. But why rough it in remote locations when you can enjoy all the discomfort of a torn throat in the hustle and bustle of a big city where help and danger are equidistant at all times. Netflix recently set its vampire turf war film, Night Teeth, in the neon nightlife of Los Angeles....

2017 has been a pretty dope year for video games, with everything from Zelda: Breath of the Wild to For Honor. That isn’t even considering the fact that the year isn’t over yet, and we have stuff to look forward to like Wolfenstein: The New Colossus and Star Wars: Battlefront 2. But what are we to do with our lives once we consume every game that this year has to offer?...

Vikings: Valhalla second season is now available on Netflix. With brothers Harald and Olaf Sigurdsson now on different sides in the battle for the throne, and Leif and Freydis reunited, the action continues apace. We certainly have some gripping stuff to get our teeth into. Here’s everything we know about the new season so far. Vikings: Valhalla season 2 release date Netflix released all episodes of Vikings Valhalla on 12 January 2023....

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. We have a spoiler free review here. WandaVision episode 2 expands the mystery around Wanda and Vision’s new locale, Westview, and it does so in large part by introducing a slew of new neighbors. Fred, Linda, Dennis the Mailman, Dottie, Phil, Geraldine, Beth, and Herb all make their first appearances in this episode. But who are they? And what clues might they give us to what’s really going on in Westview?...
