Nothing is True: Everything is Permitted. These are the words that have spanned nearly a decade, and fuel the fight between the Assassins and the Templars in the hit franchise Assassin’s Creed. The world created by game developers Ubisoft showcases a unique twist on world history as they showcase the players hidden in the shadows influencing our world and the events that drive our society. From the Crusades and Egyptian power struggles to the French and American Revolutions, the war between the Assassins and the Templars is one of the most influential and largest power struggles in the video game industry....

Microsoft made no mention of Crackdown 3 at all during its E3 2016 press conference, and it’s now been revealed that the game has been delayed to 2017. Leading up to Microsoft’s E3 2016 press conference, many expected Crackdown 3 to be one of the premiere titles at the show. However, Microsoft’s conference came and went without a single mention of Crackdown 3, and unfortunately for those hoping to play the game this year, it’s now been revealed that Crackdown 3 has been delayed to 2017....

After its surprise reveal back at E3 2014, the road to release has been a bumpy one for Crackdown 3. The complex project has no doubt continued to evolve since its initial reveal, with some reports even citing that development has been rougher than expected. Even though the game looks to be back on track, Microsoft surprised many fans by announcing that the game won’t be making its November release date as it has been delayed into spring 2018....

A Crash Bandicoot fan has put together a video comparing every single boss fight in the original trilogy to the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy remaster. The video does an outstanding job of showing just how much better the Crash Bandicoot remaster looks, not to mention just how much work Vicarious Visions had to put into the game. The 45-minute video spans all three Crash Bandicoot games, so it’s a bit of a time investment, but it’s well worth checking out....

It has been a crazy few months full of exciting Xbox-related announcements that thankfully don’t seem to have been stalled or postponed due to COVID-19. From exclusive video game announcements to out-of-this-world, PlayStation-beating specifications, there was a lot for gamers to sink their teeth in to. However, as exciting as many of the announcements were for the Xbox Series X, many of them were unsurprising due to the astronomical amount of leaks and rumors the next-gen console was subject to....

It looks like Crysis 2 Remastered is nothing but confirmed by Crytek with the first official screenshot of the game published. The company began to tease the return of Prophet the day before. The news came straight from the Crysis official Twitter account, where the developers shared a new screenshot, presumably from the remastered version of Crysis 2. James “Alcatraz” Rodriguez, who is a protagonist of the game, can be seen standing in Nanosuit 2....

Starting in 1997, many kids in computer class spent time avoiding schoolwork and playing the Elasto Mania games. Elasto Mania, now a cult classic, is having a resurgence. The Elasto Mania Team is announcing today that it will be remastering and rereleasing Elasto Mania in 2021. The physics-based 2D motorbike puzzle game won’t just be coming to PC, though. It’ll also be coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and last-generation consoles....

We’ve known for a while now that players would have the option to play as either a male or female player character V in Cyberpunk 2077. Yet, most of the images we’ve seen have focused on the male version of V. However, the female version of V has become a lot more prominent now that she will appear on a reversible cover for the box art of Cyberpunk 2077. While many honored International Women’s Day in their own ways on March 8, Cyberpunk 2077’s official Twitter page did so by revealing the reversible box art....

While some glitches in Cyberpunk 2077 result in game-breaking bugs or even the game itself crashing completely, others lead to hilarity. CD Projekt Red is actively working to patch up the remaining issues found in Cyberpunk 2077, so some of the best clips were taken in the early days of its release. While some players are able to get through an entire playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 relatively “bug-free,” others are subject to more chaotic instances, and perhaps it’s best just to laugh them off....

Okay, let’s be honest; there’s no need to introduce the most popular character in all of Dark Souls. We’ve all seen, and subsequently gotten tired of, the praise the sun memes by now, but how many people have actually managed to follow Solaire’s questline all the way to the end? Or, rather, how many people have managed to figure out how to get his good ending? Considering how complex and precise you need to be to do it, we doubt many have....

Parrying has been a core part of the Soulsborne franchise since Demon’s Souls first launched on the PlayStation 3, but it’s never exactly been essential to completing any of the games. From Dark Souls to Bloodborne, parrying is important, but it’s never actually necessary when simply running through a standard playthrough. All the same, parrying is a core part of the Souls experience and can cut the difference when it comes to difficult boss fights or PvP....

Fallout 4 takes fans back to the United States’s Eastern Coast. The Commonwealth isn’t flourishing as much as the West Coast, and people have struggled to survive. As the Sole Survivor, you’re on your quest to find your son through the hordes of ghouls, Super Mutants, and Synths (who can’t be told apart from humans). Fallout 4 is a dark game in itself. There are a few humorous moments through dialogue, but there is a sense of overwhelming loneliness as you trek through the ruins of Boston....

THQ Nordic and Airship Syndicate announced today the upcoming release of Darksiders Genesis as a spin-off from the main series. From the reveal trailer, the game looks similar in playstyle to other top-down dungeon crawling action games, similar to Diablo 3, and Grim Dawn. The trailer introduces us to Strife, a new Horseman of the Apocalypse. THQ says that Strife “is called upon to save humankind from certain destruction at the hands of Lucifer....

It won’t be long now before the forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Death Stranding is to be shown off during E3 2018, and fans of the enigmatic title understandably have their fingers crossed that Hideo Kojima will finally provide everyone with some direct gameplay. Speaking of which, a purported leak circulating online has now potentially given details involving certain multiplayer and combat elements that could show up in the game once it releases....

Known for his skill playing Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, Twitch streamer Byron ‘Reckful’ Bernstein was considered one of the top players in the world. After a successful esports career, the gamer quickly gained a large following on Twitch and became one of the most popular streamers on the platform. Recently, the Recording Industry Association of America filed copyright claims against a massive number of Twitch streamers for the unlicensed music contained in their old VODs and stream clips....

It’s been quite a while since we have received any official updates regarding the PlayStation 4 exclusive dungeon-crawler known as Deep Down, but there is a possibility that the title is still being worked on at Capcom in some capacity. Although the publisher and developer has yet to openly confirm as much, the company has extended the trademark for the game yet again, suggesting that its production is still ongoing....

The Scout serves a helpful role in Deep Rock Galactic. As the name suggests, the Scout is largely responsible for reconnaissance and team awareness. As a result, he’s very mobile and comes with a unique set of skills and abilities. Getting the most out of the Scout requires some out-of-the-box thinking when compared to other team members in this multiplayer game. It’s not a straightforward role and there are a lot of tips that can help aspiring Scouts do more for their teams....

As promised, the Aksis Challenge for Destiny’s Wrath of the Machine raid is live with the Tuesday reset. While King’s Fall had three challenge modes available on a rotation, there are only two for Wrath of the Machine, meaning this is likely it for the raid. Of course, there will be other events for players to sink their teeth into, including this week’s Iron Banner, but, for all intents and purposes, the Aksis challenge is the last hooray for Destiny launch content....

Destiny developer Bungie is doubling down on its partnership with Sony by announcing PlayStation exclusive content for Year 2. While the recently announced Sparrow Racing League will be platform agnostic, Sony today revealed that PS gamers will gain access to exclusive events, gear, and other rewards throughout 2016. Obviously, PlayStation exclusives are nothing new to Destiny players, but those typically manifested in the form of a few exotic weapons, a new Strike, and a couple multiplayer maps....

Out of every Primary weapon in Destiny 2, Bows deal the most amount of damage per shot. These weapons can take down most Minor foes in a single hit compared to other archetypes. Most of the community dislikes their clunky attack pattern, but those who master it will swear on how strong they are. That is, only some of them are. One issue Bows face is how familiar they can all seem yet vary wildly in actual usage....
