First bosses are a rite of passage in the Dark Souls series, and the first boss in Dark Souls 3 is no different. Here’s how to get the latest instalment started right. Iudex Gundyr, aside from having a name as difficult to pronounce as Dark Souls 3 is to play in its later stages, is not the most challenging boss players will encounter over their adventure into the Kingdom of Lothric....
When first booting up Darkwood, players are greeted by a warning that the game will not hold their hand. And it certainly does not. Inspired by games like Dark Souls, Darkwood is a game aimed directly at the hardcore gaming crowd. This means that some players will find Darkwood straight up inaccessible, but those who take the time to push through its many challenges will be rewarded for their efforts....
During a recent interview, Christopher Reese, the director of Sony Interactive Entertainment Bend Studio stated that the development team for Days Gone is “pushing the PS4 to its limits” in terms of the visuals and gameplay provided in the forthcoming action-adventure survival-horror title. Naturally, this made the game’s fans get even more excited for its eventual launch, and caused them wonder when the concrete time of its availability will be announced....
It’s official: Death Stranding is launching this year. Sony released a brand new trailer for Hideo Kojima’s highly anticipated first post-Konami project and confirmed the Death Stranding release date for November 8, exclusively on the PlayStation 4. In addition to revealing the Death Stranding release date, Sony has also detailed the game’s pre-order bonuses as well as what’s coming in the $200 Collector’s Edition. As was expected, the Death Stranding pre-order bonuses that leaked on the PlayStation Store prior to the game’s release date announcement have proven to be accurate....
Deathloop is the new stealth shooter in the works at Arkane Studios, developer of the Dishonored series. Many of the mechanics revealed in the trailers shown so far, from the gunplay to teleportation, are reminiscent of the first two Dishonored games, though the upcoming game will also contain multiplayer aspects. Deathloop has the potential to be an incredible immersive experience, especially considering its multiplayer aspects, which in most games require a greater suspension of disbelief than their single-player counterparts....
In a world where Cyberpunk 2077 is creating a whirlwind of hype, it appears that another long-delayed game from the past decade is still in with a small chance of being released. Deep Down, a co-operative dungeon crawler from Capcom, which was originally a PlayStation 4 exclusive, has had its trademark renewed. Originally announced in February 2013, Deep Down was due to be a free-to-play title in the vein of Dark Souls, with procedurally generated dungeons in a medieval style setting, featuring fantasy creatures such as shapeshifters, orgres, and dragons....
As if it needed to be said, the team over at Bungie are intent on providing Destiny fans with enough patches and content to keep them busy until Destiny’s The Taken King expansion releases this September. For instance, a couple of weeks back, the developers gave out unique emblems to players dedicated enough to complete 10 new and difficult challenges for Bungie Day – one of them being the goal of having won at least 100 Crucible matches....
Bungie’s Destiny has certainly split critical opinion over the past week, but for the segments of players who have taken to the game, it’s proving to be a rather engrossing experience. The end goal for players at the moment is to journey through the ultra-difficult Vault of Glass, an experience that’s been compared to raids from MMO games. Released this morning, it’s recommended that players reach level 26 before they even consider setting foot in the Vault — and to do that, you’ll need to make the most of end-game currencies to get your hands on some high-level gear and continue llevelingpast level 20....
Season of the Drifter kicked off last week, bringing an influx of new content for Destiny 2 players to explore. In addition to a large quality of life update, new loot to chase, and the addition of much-needed changes to Gambit, Annual Pass owners also received access to Joker’s Wild content including new modes like Gambit Prime and the horde-style mode, Reckoning. Reckoning is a four-player PvE mode where motes from Gambit Prime can be used for more challenge....
The day many Destiny 2 fans have been waiting for finally arrived this week as the highly anticipated Beyond Light expansion launched. The game underwent significant changes thanks in large part to a significant portion of content being removed and placed inside of the Destiny Content Vault. While vaulted content can reappear down the road, the void left in the wake of content being sunset is seemingly impacting a good number of players....
Ever since the release of Beyond Light, Bungie has struggled to get a handle on the beast they’ve unleashed in Destiny 2’s PvP game modes. Stasis, by and large, has dominated the Crucible at all levels and for every class, with players calling for Stasis nerfs continually for the last six months. And on this point at least, Bungie has certainly listened. Stasis has been hit with nerf after nerf for the past two seasons, but no matter how many nerfs Bungie throws at the problem, Stasis remains both stubbornly strong and stubbornly popular....
Since the arrival of Destiny all the way back in 2014, the entity known as Darkness has been an ever present threat to players even though it has only just started slowly revealing itself recently. Things may be coming to a head however as players discovered that the Darkness ships have begun entering the solar system, slowly approaching as Season of the Worthy rolls forward. This arrival also seems to indicate an all new direction for Destiny 2, if the most recent leak is to be believed....

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is out soon, July 9, on Nintendo Switch. Ahead of its summer launch, Capcom has released a new E3 trailer highlighting the game’s story. Monster Hunter Stories saw its last entry nearly five years ago on the Nintendo 3Ds, and this provides us our first peak at Capcom’s narrative for its second installment, Wings of Ruin. The trailer features a few beasties some of you hunters may already be familiar with, like a big bad Rathalos right out of the gate....
People on The Continent need to find love too, so it comes as no surprise that this dwarf has signed himself up to The Witcher 3’s equivalent of Tinder. A screenshot of the dwarf’s plea for love was recently shared on Reddit. He’s a bit hard on himself at times, but that’s probably just his attempt at appearing like a relatively sincere bloke. The last thing he wants to do is totally catfish someone, after all....
Cloud Imperium and Roberts Space Industries recently kicked off the 11th year of posting public updates on the development of their perpetually-upcoming multiplayer sci-fi space exploration and combat simulator Star Citizen.

“Cheaters never prosper.” A phrase that has been around for hundreds of years, but in the world of gaming, it too often fails to be true. Gamers who are fed up with seeing cheaters romp to victory should take a moment to enjoy the amazing work of You Tuber ScriptKid. He created a fake cheat mod for the recently resurgent Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) which causes the cheaters in the first-person shooter to be trolled endlessly with misfires and mishaps....

A Twitter leak earlier this year revealed that a Crash Bandicoot mobile game was being developed by King, the company behind Candy Crush Saga.

It’s been a busy week for international superstar Cristiano Ronaldo: the 32-year-old Portuguese player has led Real Madrid to trophies in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, smashed in an incredible 54 goals in his last 59 appearances for club and country, and reached his 600th career goal in the process. Suffice to say, Ronaldo is a rather hot ticket player, and the brand built around his career helps move product....
