The lore or interconnected storyline of the Crash Bandicoot universe is not exactly complex. N. Cortex did a bad thing, Crash has to stop him by spinning around and collecting fruits/crystals. At the end of almost every game, players can find Crash and the main antagonist Dr. Neo Cortex battling it out for the fate of the Wumpa Islands and sometimes the world. N. Cortex has a troubled past and an even more troubling outlook on life, so, with a new game that fans are hyped for on the horizon, we figured it was time to take a closer look at this chaotically evil mess and rank the worst of his achievements over the years....

On June 22nd, 2020, Toys for Bob revealed their next project, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time. The first new Crash Bandicoot adventure in about ten years is already shaping up to be a glorious return to form for the franchise, recapturing all the magic from the original PlayStation trilogy. One magnificent part of the games has always been the plethora of secrets and unlockables. Here’s hoping the new game follows this tradition by allowing players to dress up the playable characters with customizable skins....

During a recent interview with NECA Toys’ Randy Falk, the director of product development casually mentions that Sony is bringing back the beloved Crash Bandicoot series. It’s hard to believe it, but Crash Bandicoot turns 20 years old this year. The beloved platforming mascot that helped launch the original PlayStation has cemented himself as a fan-favorite amongst gamers, but it has been almost eight years since the series last saw a core installment....

It’s been nine years since director David Cronenberg made a new film (his last being the dark Hollywood satire Maps to the Stars), but it’s been even longer—going back to 1996’s Crash and 1999’s eXistenZ—since he has explored the themes that first put him on the map as a filmmaker: the transformation and/or evolution of the human body, often via violent technological or biological means. When his new film, Crimes of the Future, was announced, it already signaled to diehard Cronenberg fans that a possible return to those ideas was afoot: after all, this was also the title of his second feature film, which he made back in 1970 as a student at the University of Toronto....

Cyberpunk 2077 has one of the buggiest launches in recent history with the game barely even running on PS4 and Xbox One. It’s triple-A and it’s full price, so naturally, there’re some who want their money back. Yet, what Cyberpunk 2077’s disastrous launch has shed a light on more than anything is Sony’s anti-consumer refund policy. It’s time it was updated. As with its competitors, Sony allows for a 2-week refund time, but the catch is that if you even so much as begin to download the content, you’re no longer eligible....

One of the biggest surprises of E3 2018 came at the end of Microsoft’s press conference when CD Projekt RED’s long in development Cyberpunk 2077 made its long-awaited debut. Unfortunately for fans, Cyberpunk 2077 was only shown behind closed doors though the demo was apparently enough to impress critics as the game took home numerous E3 awards including Best of Show. Part of the reason why the demo was so impressive is actually how the studio approached the show and how it created the gameplay....

The big day has finally arrived. After being first teased all the way back in 2012, Cyberpunk 2077 is here, and players are flooding into Night City at a record-breaking pace, making Cyberpunk the first single-player game on Steam to reach a million consecutive players. It’s not all good news, though, since it has its fair share of technical issues, and it turns out that these even extend outside of the game itself to PC players’ desktop screens....

Still looking for all of Dark Souls 3’s hidden secrets? This checklist will help you find every important hidden item, gesture, miracle, ring, and more. FromSoftware’s highly-anticipated Dark Souls 3 has been out in the West for a little over two weeks now and many players have begun to complete the game fully, including discovering all the secrets that the notoriously tricky title has to offer. However, as a game with very little direction, finding every hidden item in the kingdom of Lothric is incredibly tasking for the less experienced Souls fans....

Outside of the PSP release of Twisted Metal: Head-On and its re-release, the last game in the core Twisted Metal franchise came over a decade ago with Twisted Metal: Black on the PS2, a game that earned rather positive reviews. Needless to say, it’s been a long wait for the franchise to return. Twisted Metal was originally scheduled to debut in October but was delayed until this February where it sits oddly perfectly with a Valentine’s Day release....

In Days Gone, Infestations are locations that have become overrun with Freaks. Deacon can clear them out to not only earn XP and Trust but also enable fast travel in new areas of the map. After first visiting Iron Mike’s Camp in Lost Lake, you will be asked to visit a local town called Sherman’s Camp. Upon arrival, you will see that the town is home to some Freaker nests. Here’s everything you need to know to destroy the infestations in Sherman’s Camp....

PC game retailer Green Man Gaming is currently holding a Bandai Namco publisher sale, with discounts to 85% off.

As we inch closer to the release of House of Wolves, Destiny players are trying to finish up their check list for old gear. Whether it be drops from Crota’s End or Vault of Glass, many are scrambling to procure the most useful guns in Destiny, since all gear will soon be at max level. However, while players are forced to rely on the cruel mistress known as RNG (random number generator) for their raid drops, the exotic vendor Xur is a little kinder....

During the first week of Destiny 2’s new Warmind expansion, players came across the Nascent Dawn quest, which would lead them on a five-part quest timegated across multiple weekly resets. The ultimate reward of the quest is the Polaris Lance exotic scout rifle, an extremely powerful exotic for PvE activities. The reason Polaris Lance is so good lies in its exotic perk, “The Perfect Fifth”: Precision hits return ammo to the mag....

Ever since Destiny 2: Shadowkeep introduced Armor 2.0, theorycrafting has become a much more integral part of the game. Season of Dawn furthered this trend by introducing the Charged With Light mechanic that many seasonal mods play off of. Season of Arrivals has doubled down on this mechanic. Those that choose to maximize their characters will find plenty of new interesting buffs to utilize this season. As for Guardians who care little about maximizing their builds, the new Arrivals mods might win them over with how applicable they are to certain playstyles....

Destiny 2 is currently conducting the Guardian Games live event, which is a competition of the classes to see, basically, which class is the most popular by way of earning medals and grinding out the event’s Laurels currency. While the event is just a few days old at the time of this writing, it seems likely that the Hunter class will ultimately win. In the end, the class that wins Guardian Games will lock in the color of their class item to gold for the year until the next Guardian Games comes around in Destiny 2, so it is not as though the winning class is going to get much besides some cosmetic flair and bragging rights....

In Destiny 2’s May 29 update, a handful of the game’s exotic armor pieces got a buff to make them more powerful, with the aim to give players more options and good choices in equipping exotics. Afterwards, Bungie promised to continue retooling more exotics in future updates, and now the developer has previewed a new batch of nine exotics going under the design knife for the next update arriving July 17....

Over the past couple of weeks, Bungie has opened up considerably about the changes coming to Destiny 2 when Beyond Light launches in November. While much of the discussion has surrounded new content like the Stasis subclasses and how customizable they are, Bungie is subtlety bringing other enhancements to the current game. Earlier this week, Bungie made an important change that likely went under the radar for most Destiny 2 players....

Since the launch of Destiny 2, the Eververse microtransaction store has been a source of frustration for players. From the sales of individual shaders to exclusive armor sets, the storefront has changed many times due to the player base’s negative feedback. Any chance players get to get around the system is welcomed by fans, and the next Twitch Prime reward might do just that. Reddit user u/JpDeathBlade made a post regarding these upcoming Destiny 2 Twitch benefits, explaining how an item that will be sold in the store tomorrow will also be this month’s Twitch Prime reward....

Destiny 2 fans just got one of the biggest development updates in recent memory. Joe Blackburn, Assistant Game Director of Destiny 2, gave a comprehensive rundown of the studio’s plans for the near future and years ahead. It’s safe to say that almost every update listed is what fans had been eager to see implemented. At the end of the article, Blackburn also gave a teaser image of some The Witch Queen armor, which has spawned theories already....
