In Tadpole Treble Encore, you’ll embark on a musical adventure that uses sheet music as the foundation for its gameplay.

A new trailer for Crysis Remastered has confirmed the release date for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions of the game. The remastering of the 2007 first-person shooter will release on September 18 for those platforms after having been already released on Switch last month.

For the past year and a half, the PS4 has been selling extremely well, having now sold over 20 million units. For many PS4 players, the key factor was price as the console initially retailed for $100 cheaper than its closest rival, the Xbox One. Many players also bought PS4s after feeling unhappy with Microsoft’s Xbox One policies (such as the ‘always on’ requirement, which the company later reversed) and some statistics suggest that the PS4’s graphics are a big reason too....

It’s something that many take for granted these days, but there was a time not too long ago when consoles couldn’t connect to the internet. The idea of having no online gaming and no DLC may sound terrible to some, but there was actually one big benefit of consoles being offline. Developers actually had to finish their games before releasing them. The ‘release now, patch later’ mentality began to creep in shortly after online gaming on consoles became popular and has only gotten worse over the years....

Choosing between the four cyberware weapons is a real task in Cyberpunk 2077. Each one has a function that they do better than the others, so it’s perfectly legitimate for a player to love even the “worst” weapon because that item happens to be the best be for their build. They all feel unique and are rewarding to master, even as the game tends to reward a more traditional weapon layout featuring assault rifles and baseball bats....

Cyberpunk 2077 is a massive game that responds dynamically to player choices in all sorts of ways. The first choice players must make, and perhaps the most important, is to choose a Life Path. This is the background that the protagonist, V, comes from, with each Life Path having a different opening sequence. The Life Paths included in the game are the corporation-bound Corpo, the rough-and-tumble Street Kid, and the outsider Nomad....

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has had a major effect on many, with game development hit hard alongside other facets of the entertainment industry. Major games like Capcom’s Monster Hunter Rise were impacted by COVID-19, as were titles like Motion Twin’s roguelike Dead Cells. However, yesterday the indie developer announced another update will be coming in mid-December, with news about something “bigger” dropping within the next few months to follow. In a community update posted to Steam, Dead Cells confirmed that the mid-December “Christmas” update will be “full of little stocking stuffers,” including a new weapon, mob, and lore room, as well as skins, a diet option, and more that is still being tested....

While Def Jam is mostly associated with distributing hip hop, pop, and urban music from artists such as Big Sean, Kanye West, Nas, 2 Chainz, Teyana Taylor, and Pusha T, there was a time in the early 2002s when the company lent its name to a series of video games, including Def Jam Vendetta, Def Jam: Fight For NY and Def Jam Icon. Def Jam Vendetta, a 2003 wrestling video game, which featured rappers like DMX, Method Man, Redman, Ludacris, and Ghostface Killah, was largely met with positive reviews with many appreciating that the hip-hop-inspired game had injected new life into the somewhat tired wrestling genre....

Video games range from mindless entertainment to emotional experiences. Though some gamers love to relax with an FPS at the end of the day, others want to be immersed in a fictional world. Story-heavy games are quickly increasing in popularity. For these games, the plot is almost more important than the gameplay itself. Without a strong story to hold things together, gamers have little motivation to continue the game. Content is cut from every video game....

Spoiler Warning; this article discusses major plot points from one of Supernatural’s most recently aired episodes A lot happened on the 18th episode of Supernatural’s final season, but what most fans of the long-running series seem to be talking about is the declaration of love from one of its characters to another: Destiel is here.

Bungie may not like to call Destiny an MMO, but they sure aren’t shying away from adopting the genre’s more popular features either. And like an MMO, Destiny is almost set to unleash its first major expansion, The Taken King, which is said to drastically revamp the experience for old and new players alike. However, those new Destiny players will enter The Taken King at a significant disadvantage. Because they have not contributed to the 2 billion+ total play hours of Destiny, these newbies will need to comb through a lot of vanilla content before they reach the new stuff....

Or maybe some just want to poke in from time to time and see what exotic weapons and armor Xur has for sale....

The Destiny universe is a complicated and immense tapestry of lore and not everything has an answer. In Destiny 2 however, there are still too many loose ends. The game is filled with layers of storytelling attached to destinations, campaign missions, cut scenes, seasonal content, and miscellaneous activities. While Destiny 1 had mysteries like “who is the Exo Stranger” or “where are Oryx’s sisters,” Destiny 2 has a handful of its own mysteries....

Live-service games such as Destiny 2 thrive on frequent updates and annual events. Having new events release allows players to chase new items while engaging in new activities. While Destiny 2 has its fair share of events, few garner as much attention as Solstice of Heroes. Right before a new expansion, players can embark on a massive grind during this four-week event to earn a prestigious set of Solstice armor. This armor is one of the most distinct-looking sets in the game....

Over the weekend several exploits and glitches came to light in Destiny 2 that put a cloud of controversy around the game. Now Bungie has issued a statement explaining what actions (or what non-actions) will be taken against those that used these glitches and exploits.

In the gaming world, you would have to be under a rock to not know about the much-anticipated sequel, Destiny 2. While official download and purchase figures are still unknown, judging by an almost obscene number of sudden pop-ups of Destiny 2 walkthroughs on YouTube, and the fact that #Destiny2 was tweeted almost 35,000 times in the past 24 hours, lets you in on the fact that Destiny 2 is this week’s obsession....

The shotgun Felwinter’s Lie is finally available in Destiny 2, after a couple of tumultuous weeks in the game.

Felwinter, like every other Risen in Destiny 2, did not know who he was, where and when he was or his purpose at the time of his rebirth. He, understandably, was in a state of shock, confusion, and frustration, doubting the words even his Ghost, Felspring, uttered....
