March marks a momentous occasion for Cities: Skylines, and that is especially true in 2021. As of March 10th, the game has now been out for over five years, and in celebration of this exciting fact, Paradox Interactive decided to share some mind boggling statistics. While there is plenty of interesting data among the statistics it shared, one of the most impressive revolves around the total population of cities created by players, a number that eclipses that of the real world several times over....

At PAX East, Cliff Bleszinski described an ending for Gears of War 3 that involved the planet Sera exploding, leading to a Gears of War 4 set on Earth and the Moon. Obviously that ending never happened, and Cliff Bleszinski is now directing the development of LawBreakers while Gears development is handled by Microsoft’s studio, The Coalition. Yet the possibility of a Planet of the Apes-esque Gears of War ending is exciting to consider, even if it was just a passing idea from Bleszinski....

Some dedicated Yakuza fans have discovered that code from Judgment’s website reveals that the Stadia logo found on the front page was originally a Steam logo. It was recently announced that Sega’s surprisingly popular Yakuza spin-off title, Judgment, is getting the remaster treatment for next-gen consoles and Google Stadia. The announcement left many Yakuza fans wondering why the game isn’t also getting an enhanced version for PC. It turns out that Judgment may have initially been slated for release on PC via Steam....

Controller drift is certainly nothing new—analog sticks respond without actually being touched. However, what was once something we encountered from time to time now appears to have become commonplace. If you know a handful of people with a Nintendo Switch, then chances are you know someone whose console has suffered or is suffering from Joy-Con drift. You may have even experienced it yourself. Even though some Switch owners claim to have suffered from drift as far back as 2017, the issue wasn’t thrust into the limelight until two years after that....

Released in 2001, the GameCube was Nintendo’s sixth-generation console and the highly anticipated successor to the Nintendo 64. In many ways, it ushered in a new era for the Japanese company, introducing optical discs and a slew of other exciting accessories and features. While the console failed to take the market by storm, selling under 25 million during its entire run, most fans remember the GameCube fondly. Games like Super Smash Bros....

Thirteen years on from its release, Dead Space is still regarded as one of the best horror games ever made, especially within the community of dedicated fans that to this day mourn the death of the franchise. Unable to meet publisher Electronic Arts’ increasingly ambitious sales expectations, the final death knell for the series was 2013’s Dead Space 3, an action-heavy sequel that abandoned the scarier tone and environmental storytelling of the original for co-op shooter gameplay meant to appeal to a wider audience....

The Far Cry 6 leaks are only a few days old yet theories and rumors have already begun circulating about the identity of the main antagonist. One of the most awestriking claims is the possibility that this well-awaited sequel could potentially be a prequel to Far Cry 3, which is arguably one of the very best in the series (and in overall open-world gaming). Bolstering this theory is one rather interesting aspect discovered in the leaked promo art, specifically the tell-tale scar on the young boy’s eyebrow....

As the true nature of the Traveler gets revealed in more recent Critical Role episodes, many are interested in the backstory between our favorite little blue tiefling and her patron. Here is Jester Lavorre and the Traveler’s interesting relationship, explained. Warning for spoilers up to Campaign 2 Episode 94 of Critical Role. The Traveler first came to Jester when she was a child. Being the only child in her mother’s place of work and living, the Lavish Chateau in Nicodranus, left Jester with no one her age to play with....

Cruella, as a concept, is a movie begging to be memed. We’re all a little tired of origin stories by this point, especially when they’re being given to characters that nobody has ever wondered about the backstory of. Ratched, the story of Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, is the latest example of this. Well, Cruella is the latest example, but before that, it was Ratched, and before that there were dozens more....

Following the release of the video game developer Studio MDHR’s run and gun title Cuphead last week, many fans of the title have gone on to discover its difficulty, with many undoubtedly still struggling to unlock all of the feats on its achievements list. That said, though, one player has already managed to display their mastery of the game, as they have gone on to beat all of its bosses without dodging, using any charms, or taking any damage....

Everyone is more or less willing to pay a little above sticker price to secure a product they really want. However, selfish resellers who think they can purchase the PS5 to flip it for double the price are hoarding tons of the consoles to do just that. In order to supply a hard wake-up call to an extortionate seller, one Scotsman took it upon himself to serve justice. Andrew Tough from Glasgow, Scotland took matters into his own hands amidst the chaos of the PS5 launch....

Updated: asked tweets about them to be taken downThe person responsible for the datamines has , saying that these leaked functions were taken out of context. They could point to a new upgraded Switch, or just testing for potential features. Nintendo doesn’t like to reveal details about upcoming projects until as late as possible, but a Switch firmware update may have given one particular game away. After the massive success of the Nintendo Wii, its successor, the Wii U, has to be considered a failure at this point....

Dead By Daylight has made it clear that it intends on collecting the most well-known figures in horror and adding them to its Realm. With some of the most recognizable faces, such as Michael Meyers, Freddy Krueger and Scream, it’s no wonder the game has formed such a loyal fanbase. And this is for good reason; what other game allows you to assume the role of so many legendary icons in one game, each with unique abilities related to their own stories and lore?...

With only two weeks left until Bungie releases Destiny’s third – and biggest – expansion, The Taken King, the developer is actively building hype among gamers. Over the last few days and weeks, Bungie has revealed new weapons and armor, and new features coming to the game, such as the exotic weapon blueprints. However, there’s one aspect of The Taken King that Bungie has been fairly quiet on: a new public event feature called the Court of Oryx....

There’s actually so much to do in Destiny 2: Beyond Light that I’m having a tough time figuring out what to tackle first. Beyond Light dropped just over a week ago, and with it came an entire Expansion’s worth of content to get through. Europa is a vast new world filled with secrets to explore, quests to complete, and loot to grind for. Completing the main campaign is really just the beginning as you then have to work to perfect your brand new Stasis powers in a series of quests that put you through all of Destiny 2’s playlist activities....

Since splitting from Activision, developer Bungie has tried to make it clear to Destiny 2 fans that there are limited resources available at the studio. The company has been as transparent as possible explaining why content is created a certain way, and why some bugs are fixed immediately while others take weeks or months to be addressed. Now, Bungie is trying to help players understand why ritual weapons are no longer part of the core Destiny 2 experience, and again it’s part of a trade-off....
