Responding to a fan’s tweet, the official Twitter account promoting Crackdown 3 revealed that the game will “indeed” be part of the Xbox Play Anywhere program. Play Anywhere games allow players to buy it on either Xbox One or PC and unlock a copy on the other platform....

This review contains spoilers for all three episodes of BBC drama Crossfire The ingredients of Crossfire are an all-inclusive buffet of delights. The terrifying prospect of an idyllic Canary Island hotel besieged by determined gunmen with a grudge. A magnificent cast including Keeley Hawes, Josette Simon and Lee Ingleby. A slick three-episode BBC production airing over consecutive nights with the added allure of a binge-it-all-on-iPlayer option. So when Crossfire opens with a dazed Keeley Hawes voiceover vaguely pontificating about the nonlinear nature of time while we watch her swimming in a luxurious (but mysteriously empty for a massive holiday complex) pool, you can consider it an omen that all is not quite right with this BBC drama....

Crytek, the saviors of THQ’s Homefront franchise, might be in need of a savior themselves. While making plenty of headlines in recent months with the official unveiling of Homefront: The Revolution and the free-to-play Arena of Fate, the latest reports - and mounting evidence - points a bleak picture for the creator of the popular CryENGINE. The onslaught of buzz surrounding the potential bankruptcy of 800-person Crytek Studios began with a report from German publication, GameStar....

The game came out of the stumbling blocks upon its launch but Cyberpunk 2o77 does have a lot to keep players busy. Whether or not players like the NCPD, the police force offers many Hustles for V to go out and complete for fun and profit. The NCPD can task V with picking up Hidden Gems. Typically requiring a body or container to be looted, V will get a datashard containing pertinent information....

CJ Projekt Red, developer of The Witcher series, became a household name in the video game industry when Cyberpunk 2077 was finally released on December 10, 2020. To many gamers, it was considered the most-anticipated game of the year, if not the decade. The general angst built to an all-time high when its new IP was delayed on more than one occasion. Cyberpunk 2077 was put in a very tough situation from the start....

Unique only to the original Dark Souls, some of the game’s opponents can have their tails cut off by dealing enough damage. Destroying a tail would restrict the target’s moveset and grant a unique weapon. Known as tail cut weapons, these unique blades offer great base stats or properties that can only be found on that piece. Whether it is from the tail of a boss or a drake, most of these weapons are worth obtaining; however, not all are created equal though....

A recent From Software livestream shows off combat gameplay featuring the mace and scimitar weapons in the studio’s forthcoming action-RPG, Dark Souls 3. After having recently revealed some sword and shield gameplay for Dark Souls 3, an overnight livestream hosted by From Software featured action revolving around mace and scimitar weaponry that also provides further evidence of how the developer is substantially altering the game’s combat system with Weapon Arts. For those unaware, Weapon Arts are movesets that relate to specific weapons which offer powerful animations that use up players’ mana....

Merry Christmas! Today, Epic Games is celebrating the day with… Darkest Dungeon? Sure, it’s not the most holiday-oriented of titles, but it definitely fits the bleaker year that we’ve been living through with 2020, so we’ll give it a pass. Darkest Dungeons, for the uninitiated, is a dungeon crawler RPG, where the player has inherited an estate from their ancestor. It’s not quite the sprawling mansions and beautiful cottages of Skyrim, but rather a manor atop some strange catacombs filled with monsters that are out to corrupt the world....

Video game director and founder of game studio Quantic Dream David Cage gave an interview with Gamelab, along with fellow developer Joseph Fares, where Cage highlighted the importance of storytelling in games, especially his ability to elicit emotion from audiences. Given Cage’s track record, he may have overestimated his ability here. Cage certainly knows what he’s talking about, in theory. Video games offer a unique perspective to storytelling, he says, since they “are the only medium in which you create something with your audience....

Koei Tecmo’s Dead or Alive 6 may be riding off into the sunset, but that doesn’t mean the game is disappearing. In an effort to get people playing the bouncy brawler, KT will be hosting a bunch of free fighter weeks for the “Core Fighters” edition of Team Ninja’s fighter. For those unaware, a free-to-play iteration of Dead or Alive 6 dubbed “Core Fighters” was released a month or so after the game launched on all platforms....

Although it’s been on the market for years and has launched on every platform under the sun, Skyrim still holds its fair share of secrets. One tiny detail most people probably didn’t catch during their first hundred hours involves the Hall of the Dead in each town – and their growing collection of deceased citizens. Skyrim is back in the spotlight, as it was recently added to Xbox Game Pass, breathing new life into the age-old title....

An intrepid Fireteam of Guardians officially achieve World First status as the first to beat Destiny: Rise of Iron’s Wrath of the Machine raid on its Heroic difficulty. As many Guardians are surely aware, video game developer Bungie officially released Update 2.4.1 for its science fiction shooter Destiny: Rise of Iron at about 10:00 AM PT today, while scheduling the Wrath of the Machine raid’s Heroic Mode for 2:00 PM PT....

While most expected Xur to be popular for his first weekend of Destiny: The Taken King, few could have predicted how popular the Agent of the Nine ended up being. It was a little consumable called the Three of Coins that ended up being one of the most talked about items during the last week of Destiny, arguably more than the launch of the King’s Fall raid. However, with the Three of Coins getting a slight nerf from Bungie, the focus now turns to Xur’s regular inventory of exotic items, and what he might offer for week 2....

Season 13 of Destiny 2, otherwise known as Season of the Chosen, is right around the corner. It will carry forward many traditions from previous seasons while also introducing novelties such as the H.E.L.M. Bungie released a trailer giving information for the first half of the season, but included a cryptic clip at the end involving the Scorn. Introduced with the Forsaken expansion, the Scorn are Destiny 2’s latest major new enemy faction....

As players begin to complete the activities found on the four destinations in Destiny 2, they will cross Lost Sectors, Adventures, and World Quests off their lists (and they will disappear from their Director map). But there’s something else for players to find and collect while out on a destination—golden chests. In Destiny 2, golden destination chests will award destination tokens used to level up with the vendor on each planet....

In Destiny 2 Year 2 there are a lot of different ways to acquire power. The most direct way early on is simply to interact with the new content, until players reach power level 500. Then, the real grind begins where players use daily and weekly challenges to obtain Powerful Engrams. However, there is also a new type of engram called a Prime Engram that can help players increase their power level....

Destiny 2’s most mysterious destination, the Dreaming City, still holds a major secret in the form of Wish 15. It has been nearly two years since the Forsaken expansion released, and still there are elements of the DLC that players haven’t discovered. For those who haven’t played Destiny 2: Forsaken, the Dreaming City storyline focused on the Awoken and their dealings with Ahamkara (aka wish-dragons). The Last Wish raid further built on the idea of granting wishes by allowing players to input a code at the beginning of the raid to unlock special boons....

The PC version of Destiny 2 is not being developed by series’ creator Bungie. The confirmation follows the other disappointing news that Destiny 2 PC will not offer dedicated severs either. Speaking during a recent interview, Bungie’s PC lead David Shaw called the development of the PC version of Destiny 2 an “interesting situation.” Shaw explained that rather than Bungie “outsourcing” this version of the game, the company has developed a “true partnership” with Vicarious Visions, the developer behind the Crash Bandicoot N....

While plenty of players are still trying to climb up the power level ladder in Destiny 2, some have already made it to the current level cap of 300 (305 with mods equipped). Those that have reached this current peak know that something unique happens to gear drops – they randomly scale between 295 and 300. Or at least it was initially thought that the gear scaling was random, but some Destiny 2 players have discovered that may not be the case....
