Without the acerbic wit of the Ninth Doctor in 2005, the 21st-century geek landscape would look a whole lot different. If we were to borrow the TARDIS from Doctor Who, and pop back to the debut of “Rose” on March 26, 2005, we’d know we were standing on the edge of a moment when everything changed. Before Doctor Who, Christopher Eccleston had been known for hard-edged, gritty roles like the game-changing horror flick 28 Days Later or Danny Boyle’s Shallow Grave....

Three clans are returning to Vampire: The Masquerade, as the Tzimisce, Ravnos, and Salubri will be included in an upcoming free book. In the lore of Vampire: The Masquerade, there are 13 clans that are descended from Caine, the first vampire.

The Tzimisce are known for using their powers to create hideous monsters as servants....

Wolverine; he’s in everything!

One Counter-Strike player decides to take the matter of stopping cheaters into their own hands, releasing fake hacks in order to get cheaters banned from the game. When playing online multiplayer games, one of the most annoying things to come across is an opponent who is obviously using some kind of cheat. Apparently, this irritant caused one Counter-Strike player to take up a clever form of vigilante justice. This user decided to create a number of fake hacks for the Valve-created multiplayer shooter, with an aim of getting those cheaters booted from the game....

Blizzard Entertainment achieved an impressive feat recently, as it announced this week that World of Warcraft: Shadowlands just became the fastest-selling PC game of all time. Unfortunately, that achievement proved to be short-lived, because Cyberpunk 2077 has broken the record Shadowlands just set. It’s plain to see that people have been excited for CD Projekt Red’s next big title in the leadup to release, given the years the developer has spent building up and hyping its ambitious open-world RPG....

Dark Souls 3 is a game all about overcoming difficult encounters. This game has some of the hardest bosses and enemies in the franchise, meaning players will need everything they can get to beat this game and its brutal DLC content. With that said, few enemies in PvE can match the skill of some players one will face in Arenas or invasions. Builds help mitigate this, focusing on certain attributes and gear to make fighting tough bosses and players easier....

Say goodbye to the Age of Fire. From Software and publisher Bandai Namco will release the final downloadable content for Dark Souls 3 next week, March 28. The Ringed City will be bigger than the game’s first piece of DLC, and will contain new enemies, equipment, story, and areas to explore.

In the asymmetric multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight, the killers tend to get most of the spotlight. This isn’t surprising with horror icons like Halloween’s Michael Myers and A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger appearing on the list of Dead by Daylight killers, but now the survivors are getting a high profile guest star as well. It was confirmed a couple of days ago that Dead by Daylight was getting Ash vs....

Hideo Kojima reveals that his upcoming PS4 game Death Stranding is not a horror game and that he will not be ‘pursuing’ a dark aspect to the game, despite what the trailers suggest. Although Hideo Kojima is best-known for his work on the Metal Gear series, the veteran games developer has also shown a keen interest in the horror genre. At his former employee, Konami, Kojima was working on the (cancelled) Silent Hills P....

After players finished tearing through hordes of zombies in Dead Island: Riptide earlier this year, a cliffhanger ending left the same question on everyone’s minds: There’s got to be a sequel right? Four long months of speculation have passed since the release of the second installment in the action role-playing (as well as survival horror) franchise and it looks like fans finally have a bit more information on the potential follow-up....

Destiny 2 finally has its first comic adaptation, as Bungie releases its eagerly-anticipated Fall of Osiris for free online. In a similar fashion to the Overwatch online comics, the short release can be accessed panel-by-panel to all fans, giving those interested a small look into the origins of Osiris and Ikora. The Fall of Osiris comic tells the story of how Osiris began to be outcast for his views on the Traveller, an event which resulted in the Guardian angering the Speaker and becoming something of a prophet to the masses....

The launch month of video game developer Bungie’s Rise of Iron expansion for its action-RPG Destiny generates much more revenue than the game’s original launch. Since Destiny’s second annual Festival of the Lost Halloween bash is currently underway, it’s safe to say that plenty of would-be Guardians are spending their time attempting to earn all of the seasonal rewards to be found within the event. Not to mention, Bungie has also given fans of the action-RPG plenty of activities to take on with the game’s Rise of Iron expansion, which has made more money in digital revenues in its launch month than 2014’s original version of the title....

With the release of Rise of Iron, Destiny weekly resets are providing more challenges than ever before, and here is everything you’ll need to know to survive this week, Guardians. Before the release of Rise of Iron, weekly resets were pretty straightforward in terms of what was available to experience in Destiny: hop into the weekly Nightfall, Heroic story mission, or Crucible. Now that the Destiny expansion has released, there is a little bit more to invest in each week to test a Guardian’s mettle....

Bungie recently announced its next expansion for Destiny 2 and plans for future content. Despite abandoning core aspects of the first Destiny, Bungie has shown that they are supporting Destiny 2 for years to come.
