Alpacas playing soccer is the latest game we never saw coming, and it’ll arrive on Steam and Switch later this year. Rocket League is soccer (or football, depending on where you’re from) but with cars, right? So imagine replacing those cars with fluffy semi-camels from South America. What do you get? Alpaca Ball Allstars, the new game from indie dev Salt Caste Studio. Alpaca Ball takes place in a fictional world where Alpacas are the highest form of life and regularly fill stadiums to capacity in order to watch Alpaca Ball, which is like soccer, only you don’t kick the ball with your feet....

Since the integration of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War into Warzone, there has been a learning curve for those trying to build the ideal loadout. A number of the Cold War guns entered Call of Duty: Warzone with attachments that did not actually do what they claimed to do. Barrels with descriptions indicating an increase to bullet velocity instead causing a decrease, or claims of recoil reduction instead causing more bounce in the weapon were common....

Ever since it was added to the game, the RAM-7 has been the most powerful weapon in Call of Duty: Warzone based on stats alone. However, it has not achieved the same popularity as other ARs because of its slightly unusual recoil pattern and severe lack of customization options. With the right attachments and correct technique, the RAM-7 can be one of the most formidable weapons available, so anyone who wants to do well in Warzone or Modern Warfare should at least be aware of the RAM-7’s potential....

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot fans wait patiently for news about DLC 3, but Bandai Namco is keeping things locked down tight on that regard. For this reason, when fans discovered a new Kakarot screenshot presumably showing the first glimpse of DLC 3, they were filled with excitement. Unfortunately, unlike previous leaks, this one doesn’t make it obvious one way or another what the next DLC will be about, leaving many to speculate based on what little information there is....

E3 may have reached its conclusion, but that doesn’t mean that gamers will have to wait months to hear more about the long-awaited Crackdown 3, as further information will reportedly be dropping later in July. On the 22nd of this month Microsoft is set to reveal more news at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 in a panel that promises exciting reveals. The Comic Con panel will be hosted by Larry Hyrb (Major Nelson) from 11AM - 12PM PST and is set to feature Senior Narrative Designer Dave Mongan, Senior Art Director Dave Johnson, and Design Director Clint Bundrick, who will discuss behind-the-scenes action which has gone down during the development of Crackdown 3....

Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled has had a great launch since mid-June, but there is a significant issue for PlayStation 4 players and their save files. Beenox Team has released a blog post stating that on July 3 we will see a proper fix released to eliminate the chance of corrupted data if the Time Trials date file becomes too large. Primarily this affect players who completed too many Time Trial races, which would have been those focused on the unlocking N....

Kingdom Hearts fans don’t have that long to wait for a critical mode in Kingdom Hearts III, with the game’s co-director promising one will come soon, during the Game Developer’s Conference (GDC) on Tuesday. The latest game in the franchise dropped in January, 14 years after Kingdom Hearts II launched, with many other releases occurring between the two numbered titles. However, it doesn’t come with an extremely difficult mode and there have even been complaints from players who claim the game is too easy....

First Castlevania, then Devil May Cry. Now, Cuphead is getting the animated treatment on Netflix. The run ’n’ gun game originally released in 2017 to instant acclaim. Cuphead is one of those independent titles that attracted a lot of mainstream attention. Its art style, its challenging difficulty, and its overall charm of appearing like a 1930’s cartoon earned it many awards in 2017. The game has even transcended platforms; it was originally envisioned as a lifetime Microsoft exclusive, but was ported to Nintendo Switch in April of this year....

Since its release in December, players have been putting in those hours exploring the world of Cyberpunk 2077. Even though the game is a buggy mess on base consoles, CD Projekt Red has already recovered the development costs via the pre-orders themselves. In the game, players get to play as V- a mercenary whose sole goal is to make it big in the city of dreams. The game features an array of customization features including character creation....

Unfortunately, the big Cyberpunk 2077 news somehow isn’t that Dr. Disrespect has been confirmed to be in the game. Instead, it’s that CDPR has delayed the game until December 10. Of course, that surprise announcement brought out the worst in some people, and led the game’s lead designer to decry death threats against the team, and remind fans that developers are people too. For those of you keeping track, this is the third time that CDPR has delayed Cyberpunk 2077, leading fans to wonder if they will ever actually get to see the game, or if it’s all just smoke and mirrors....

A Cyberpunk player has shared a clip of the moment they bought an incredibly expensive car accidentally and died of a heart attack moments later. A lot has been said and written about Cyberpunk during the three short weeks since its release. Most of that has been bad. The game is riddled with bugs and glitches, especially if you’re playing the last-gen version. For some players, the game is so broken that they have sought out refunds....

There are some good races to play in the beloved tabletop RPG Dungeons & Dragons, and then there are some great ones. Needless to say, dragonborn are one of the players’ favorite options to play as when customizing a new character. Introduced as a playable character in the 4th edition of the game, dragonborn have quickly stolen fans’ hearts. While some of the dragonborn abilities lose their usefulness at later levels, they can be interesting to play for roleplay purposes, draconic flavoring, and they still work as an option for a few classes....

The adventures and hijinks of Springfield’s beloved Simpson family have been a perennial favorite for over 30 years now, offering viewers untold amounts of laughs and guffaws (even if the show began going downhill after Season 7). And for an animated sitcom that’s been around for so long, a lot of episodes have aged quite nicely (their cracks at Donald Trump and Woody Allen, for example, have certainly come into their own)....

Game publisher Bandai Namco officially announces that developer From Software’s Dark Souls 3 hits the landmark of having 3 million units ship worldwide. In a press release circulated by Bandai Namco and translated from Japanese to English by the fine folks over at Gematsu, it has now been revealed that Dark Souls 3, the third entry in From Software’s famously challenging franchise, has surpassed more than 3 million worldwide shipments of the title....

Dauntless, the free-to-play behemoth-hunting action RPG developed by Phoenix Labs, will soon recieve its “Call of the Void” content update. This update includes new behemoths, new locations, new challenges, and new abilities. But there’s one more thing that the game will add which it completely lacked before: an actual story – and one that players will be able to affect, at that. Dauntless, which we had previously described as “Fortnite Meets Monster Hunter Clone,” always had an emphasis on gameplay to the detriment of any narrative – something that it has in common with its two inspirations....

Without a doubt, Kojima Productions’ forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Death Stranding is easily one of the most anticipated games for E3 2018, as many are hoping for the developer to finally show off some concrete gameplay for the title. Should that not occur, one of the game’s stars, Mads Mikkelsen, has at least offered up a tease as to what fans should expect from the way in which Hideo Kojima’s project will operate, with the actor saying it involves player “collaboration”....

Best known for its brutal difficulty and deeply interwoven narrative gameplay, Demon’s Souls also has a multiplayer component that many first time players may not even realize exists. For Soulsborne veterans, Co-Op and PvP are, in many ways, more beloved even than the base experiences, with various subreddits and online communities dedicated to both assisting others against bosses and also invading worlds for some one-on-one bouts. As for Demon’s Souls Remake, multiplayer works much the same as it did in the 2009 original, only now players have the option of utilizing passwords, making co-op all the more streamlined....

The Destiny franchise’s exotic merchant Xur has thankfully been given a nice buff following the new Season of the Drifter, not only expanding his inventory to include some Forsaken exotics on occasion, but also thanks in large part to a new weekly questline called Invitations of the Nine. Thanks to these changes, Xur has started to become relevant again, with many players even looking forward to his arrival each week....

For the forthcoming release of Destiny 2’s Season of Opulence, developer Bungie has revealed a few details in the days prior. One of the biggest reveals is the new Destiny 2 Menagerie activity, which is a 6-player dive into the Leviathan, as players attempt to discover more secrets of Calus, the former emperor of the Cabal Empire. Beyond that, though, there’s plenty of more content also coming to the Sci-fi first-person shooter title such as the new raid and plenty of new weapons and armor....

The “This Week at Bungie” update published this week was a bit meatier than usual. In addition to the announcement of a 24-hour trial for Gambit, the developer also provided fans with a preview of what’s going to happen to grenades and specific exotic gear pieces as Destiny 2 transitions into its second year. All throughout the lifespan of Destiny and now Destiny 2, Bungie has continually adjusted how guardian abilities and gear function in an effort to improve the overall player experience....
