We have the early scoop on where to find the vendor Xur and what exotic armor and weapons he has available to Destiny players for the weekend of January 13th. It may not have been a lot, but this week Bungie dropped its first hints of new Destiny content, suggesting that March or April might see the release of an update that reinvigorates the fan base and paves the way for the presumed release of Destiny 2 in the fall....
The Stormcaller’s Chaos Reach super and the subclass’s associated Geomag Stabilizers exotic boots appear to have been accidentally nerfed in the latest update to Destiny 2. Players took to the Destiny subreddit to report their experiences, saying that the Chaos Reach super is shorter and doing noticeably less damage than it was doing before the update, in addition to the Geomag Stabilizers not extending the duration of the super, which is the exotic’s main perk....
Bungie is readying its reveal for the “Next Chapter” of Destiny 2. Today the once again independent game developer announced a livestream on Thursday, June 6 at 10:00 am PT wherein Destiny 2’s future will be unveiled. The short message from Bungie doesn’t provide much for players to dissect, unfortunately. “Tune in for the reveal of the next chapter of Destiny 2,” it reads. Perhaps referring to the reveal as Destiny 2’s next chapter rather than the Destiny franchise’s does offer a clue....
It’s Friday which means that the exotic salesman Xur is back in world of Destiny 2 once again. As players continue to wait for the inclusion of Year 2 exotics in his loot pool, Xur keeps up his weekly tradition of bringing year 1 exotics, slightly remixed with randomized rolls. Those waiting for the appearance of Forsaken exotics may be in for a long one if Bungie’s Annual Pass roadmap for 2019 is anything to go by....
Today, Bungie finally unveiled Curse of Osiris, the first DLC expansion for Destiny 2 that will release on December 5th. As its main selling point, Curse of Osiris will feature a new story starring Osiris the legendary Warlock, but it will also add tons of smaller items to the game. While it would be nearly impossible to list everything that Curse of Osiris adds to Destiny 2, mostly because we don’t know everything that Bungie will add, there are a few things that caught our eye....
It looks like even more big changes are coming to Destiny 2: Beyond Light, with a new Challenge system appearing. Bungie revealed that Destiny 2 is moving away from weekly bounties and introducing Seasonal Challenges. Fans of the sci-fi first-person shooter will have spent a lot of time with weekly bounties. These were typically big objectives connecting to ritual activities. In an attempt to reduce the fear of missing out, FOMO, Bungie is making a switch with this system....
After taking a few weeks off, Lord Saladin has once again returned to The Tower, which means it’s time for the Iron Banner once again. Just like the latest Faction Rally from two weeks ago, this edition of Iron Banner is also sporting new loot for players to earn. Saladin himself is offering three guns directly including a grenade launcher, assault rifile, and pulse rifle as well. For this round of the Iron Banner in Destiny 2, players are battling in the Clash game mode and can continue to work on the season 2 Iron Banner challenge if they weren’t able to finish it the first time around....
In 2013, Capcom released DmC: Devil May Cry, a reboot of its hack-and-slash Devil May Cry series. The game was criticized by fans for a number of reasons, including its redesigned look for Dante and for not continuing the story of Devil May Cry 4, but it was still met with a largely positive reception by critics. Ultimately, fan rejection of DmC saw the game fail to meet Capcom’s sales expectations, and so any plans for a sequel were shelved in favor of Devil May Cry 5, but that doesn’t mean the door is shut on DmC: Devil May Cry 2 forever....

With the recently released Streets of Rage 4 receiving positive fan reaction, some are getting a bit of a nostalgia wave for the originals. One area that is getting some attention is just how great those original soundtracks were, and Wayo Records is thinking the same thing. Wayo Records is reissuing the soundtracks of 1991’s Streets of Rage and 1992’s Streets of Rage 2 with the “Perfect Soundtracks.” A soundtrack collection of Yuzo Koshiro’s work on both seminal SEGA beat-em-ups releasing for each game....
An unfortunate reality of the current generation video game consoles and push towards digital media is the advent of downloadable content (DLC). What was once considered additional/expansionary elements of a game that could be downloaded post-launch has become something that releases alongside the retail version of the game, often times on the disc itself, hidden and locked away until players fork out money to utilize content on a disc they already purchased....
In a recent PlayStation blog post, Sony unveiled the PS5 release date for the upcoming co-op RPG, Haven. The game will release on PS5 on December 3rd, 2020, and early in 2021 for the PS4. Alongside this news, the post also shares information about how the game’s co-op systems will work, and it looks absolutely seamless. According to PlayStation, Haven was developed as a single-player experience first and foremost, but the developers couldn’t pass the opportunity up to include couch co-op in the game given its focus on two protagonists in a relationship with one another....

The Last of Us 2 proved to be a hugely controversial game when it launched in 2020, with some of the controversy stemming from one scene early on in the game.

Crusader Kings 2 is unique among video games. The grand strategy game was released in 2o12 and remains one of the most popular games in the genre 9 years later. Part of the reason why Crusader Kings 2 remains popular is the continued post-launch content releases from Paradox. Now, however, Paradox is in a difficult position. It has years of great Crusader Kings 2 content and a reliance on the income DLC brings in, but needed a way to monetize that content without charging large prices to new players....
