We can think of no better way to celebrate Pancake Day than by watching someone make beautiful pancake replicas of our favorite Pokemon. Today is just February 16 or Shrove Tuesday in most parts of the world. However, in the UK and a handful of other countries, it’s Pancake Day. An odd concept to many Americans since pancakes are readily available all year round. Although Brits can eat pancakes whenever they like, for some reason the sweet treat, or savory depending on your toppings, is only really eaten one day a year....

Four years after release is the perfect time to announce a new season pass, right? Publisher 2K Games and developer Firaxis seem to think so because that’s exactly what they’ve done. Coming as a surprise to everyone, the successful Civilization VI is about to get expanded even more with a ton of new DLC. Coming in the “Frontier Pass,” players can expect to see an additional eight civilizations added to the already immense roster that this game has....

Call of Duty: Warzone has just removed the fan-favourite Verdansk Solos mode, and yes, the people are outraged. Or at least a little bit miffed. But it’s okay Call of Duty fans, because there’s a new battle royale mode to play solo, although it’s a little bit different. The Gulag, everyone’s favourite prison, has been removed, and in a nod to global capitalism during a pandemic, you will not meet your death as long as you have enough money on your person at any one time....

There are plenty of ways to regulate the temperature of your CPU, and depending on who you ask, you hear a lot of different answers on the best way to do it. If you ask me though, an all-in-one liquid cooler is a fantastic way to not only keep your processor cool, but also to add some flair to your PC build. Corsair’s Hydro Series H100i RGB Platinum SE 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler, while certainly a mouthful, is by far my favorite CPU cooler....

One of the fun elements of Crash Brandicoot 4: It’s About Time are the Flashback Tapes available in many of the story levels throughout the game. These collectibles can only be picked up if the player doesn’t die prior to collecting them. The player must finish the level after collecting it in order to unlock a Flashback Level. These unique levels are set prior to the events of the other mainline games in the series....

Crytek’s Crysis YouTube channel just shared a trailer for the upcoming Crysis Remastered port to Nintendo’s hybrid system. The trailer, entitled “Nintendo Switch Tech Trailer,” goes fairly in-depth into Crysis Remastered’s technical specs, showing off exactly how well the port fairs on the handheld. The answer is, well, fairly good actually. Running at a commendable 30 frames-per-second and 720p resolution, the game looks quite good. Many other titles on the console run at fewer frames and at a lower resolution – with even the first party title Xenoblade Chronicles 2 running at a lower 540p resolution while in handheld mode....

In a game as competitive as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, it’s important for the developers to make sure that both sides have an even playing ground. Map layout is crucial with the primary game mode requiring terrorists to attack while counter-terrorists have to defend and defuse. Terrorists need to have good enough hiding spots while planting bombs but counter-terrorists have to be able to access those points as well. Both sides must be able to reach either bombsite quickly and navigate through chokepoints with similar levels of cover and difficulty....

There is a cursed rode in Red Dead Redemption 2 that is setting people, carts, and horses ablaze. We’re not sure why there is a patch of dusty road in Red Dead Redemption 2 that is lighting everything that walks over it on fire. Some say it’s just a glitch, one of many that a game the size of RDR2 was just bound to have. Others say it was intentional, a “feature” left in to correspond with Halloween and with Rockstar expertly timing when such a glitch would be discovered for maximum spook factor....

Keanu Reeves is one of those actors that you just can’t hate; the internet loves him, and who can blame them? He has starred in top-notch movies and brought to life iconic characters like Neo from The Matrix or John Wick from, well, John Wick. Keanu’s stardom has been in the making since the early 80s, but recently his internet popularity grew thanks to him appearing in one of the most controversial games of 2020, Cyberpunk 2077....

With Cyberpunk 2077 slated to hit shelves early next month, fans are beginning to question just how good their hardware will have to be to run CD Projekt Red’s upcoming sci-fi epic. Prior to today, the team had only posted a basic set of specifications for PC players preparing themselves for what looks to be one of this year’s most technologically demanding experiences. However, CD Projekt Red has now corrected that, taking to Twitter earlier to unveil more specific PC specifications and the requirements need to utilize ray-tracing....

The Dark Souls franchise is home to a wide array of grotesque, lumpen creatures. Regular mobs can be an absolute nightmare to look at, never mind to do battle with. When you’ve made it through one of the deathtrap-laden areas and are ready to move on to the next, what’s waiting for you? An even more hideous, difficult, and absurdly difficult boss, that’s what. Every player will find some bosses more difficult than others, and everyone’s experience will be different, but, where the Gaping Dragon of Dark Souls is concerned, there’s one thing everyone can agree on: it’s one of the ghastliest creations in the series....

It’s safe to say that we won’t see Dark Souls 4 in 2020. Development company FromSoftware is focused on games like Elden Ring, and it’s too soon. We don’t know what to expect from the next Dark Souls installment if it ever releases. Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director of Dark Souls, Demon Souls, said Dark Souls 3 is his last game. He did, however, open the discussion for passing the directing torch to someone else....

Though Dead Cells was released less than a year ago, it has seen tremendous success in terms of sales. The game has sold over a million units, and a large portion of those sales came from the Nintendo Switch version. Sébastien Bénard of Motion Twin (the developer/publisher of Dead Cells) spoke at GDC 2019 about the response to Dead Cells and how 60% of the game’s sales were on the PC platform....

Hideo Kojima comes clean about his decision to partner with Sony, instead of the many other companies giving him offers, to make the upcoming Death Stranding. Death Stranding made its first appearance at E3 2016 and though not much has been revealed about the upcoming game just yet, it has been cause for a lot of excitement in gamers everywhere. The game sees Hideo Kojima, founder of Kojima Productions, partnering up with Sony to create a whole new title unlike any the man has made before....

Depending on a player’s style, the Lava Bow can play a crucial role in making this already testing experience a lot easier. Not needing particularly high stats to back up the high damage it can deliver and getting more powerful with the magic stat, this bow is the perfect choice for mages who need a little physical boost in different situations. Though getting the bow is no easy task, its added fire damage at range can make the difference in the mid-game....

Without a doubt, Guardians have been spending as much time with Destiny: The Taken King as possible since the expansion’s release last week. Gamers’ devotion to the title is no doubt due in part to Bungie’s hard work in providing fresh experiences for devoted players and newcomers alike, especially with the inclusion of an intense centerpiece quest to take out Oryx in the King’s Fall raid, the incorporation of new multiplayer modes, as well as the long-awaited addition of a Sparrow racing Patrol mission in Update 2....

Sturm is one of Destiny 2’s most underrated Exotics. This novel Hand Cannon overloads its magazine as players earn kills using Drang, an energy Sidearm that accompanies this weapon. When used properly, this weapon can kill powerful enemies in PvE and potentially one-shot players in PvP. Like most Exotics in Destiny 2, you will need to earn it. Sturm must be obtained through an Exotic questline that Failsafe provides on Nessus, one of the first planets unlocked for New Light players....

The Thunderlord is one of the most powerful weapons in Destiny 2, but after its initial return to the game during the Festival of the Lost in October 2018, the quest was removed from the game and with it went a guaranteed path to getting the must-have exotic. But for a limited time in the current Season of the Drifter, the quest will be returning, giving players who do not yet have the Thunderlord another chance at completing the weapon’s signature quest....
