Destiny got a new surge of life this week with the release of Rise of Iron, Destiny’s fall expansion and official kickoff to the game’s Year 3. Things are at a fever pitch for fans right now as they dive into the new content and prepare for the sci-fi shooter’s latest raid....
We thought it couldn’t be done, and yet the video above proves it can. One Destiny player has done the seemingly impossible, and beat the entire Crota’s End raid in Destiny on the highest difficulty and without a single teammate. While plenty of players have been able to solo Crota’s End on normal difficulty, many thought doing it on hard was impossible. Sure, some had got as far as the Deathsinger, but doing enough DPS (damage per second) on Crota while also attacking him with the sword proved a tall order....
With Resident Evil 3 in the rearview mirror, many of the series biggest fans are wondering where Capcom could take the iconic horror franchise next. Of course, murmurs have been spreading around a number of new games that fans could be getting in the years to come, including several sequels and remakes, with it seeming like Capcom has major plans for the series moving forward.

While Konami has seemingly taken a break from many of its franchises like Silent Hill and Metal Gear, Castlevania remains the lone bright spot for the company thanks in large part to the success it has recently found on Netflix. With a third season currently in development, Konami could be thinking about using that positive momentum to bring the franchise back to gaming platforms in the near future. According to a recent filing with the Australian Classification Board, Konami has registered a multiplatform game called Castlevania Anniversary Collection....
Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red (CDPR) seems to understand the launch of its latest project didn’t go over well, but the company doesn’t believe it did anything that constitutes a violation of federal laws. That why CDPR said in its own legal filing Friday that it will “vigorously” defend itself against a recent class action lawsuit filed by an investor regarding Cyberpunk 2077. The lawsuit alleges CDPR misled its investors about the quality of Cyberpunk 2077 ahead of its December release....
Can a series be considered part of the Hannibal Lecter franchise if Hannibal Lecter never appears? Picking up in 1993, shortly after the events of The Silence of the Lambs, CBS’s new drama Clarice follows the continued trials and tribulations of Lecter’s most famous foil, originally brought to iconic, Oscar winning life by Jodie Foster thirty years ago. For long-time fans of Thomas Harris’ creation, Clarice is a contentious proposition. The idea of a TV series about Clarice Starling is neither a creatively bankrupt nor unappealing one, however it comes with a faint veneer of controversy due to a perception that its very existence potentially puts an end to revival chances for Bryan Fuller’s gone-too-soon cult classic Hannibal, which ran on NBC between 2013 and 2015....
Anyone who has ever played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has encountered at least one match where a shotgun seemed unfair.

It becomes even worse when watching the kill-cam and the aimer isn’t even on the player at all. Disgruntled fans of the game have created several memes in regard to this weapon....
Anime is not for everybody. However, there are certain emblematic series, like Shinichiro Watanabe’s Cowboy Bebop, that are able to transcend the medium and become pillars of pop culture that are adored by mainstream crowds. Cowboy Bebop is a science fiction series that focuses on a misfit crew of bounty hunters who travel the galaxy to make a big score and survive their own neuroses. Cowboy Bebop’s space setting allows the series to embrace sci-fi archetypes, but the anime is a delirious stew of ingredients that means that riffs on westerns, film noir, and even the horror genre are all fair game....

A few can even be used in a power stance when wielded together for unique and deadly combination attacks.

Punishing difficulty and fantastic lore are the cornerstones of a good FromSoftware title. These unique RPGs offer a wide range of build options and combat encounters that make them infinitely replayable. Dark Souls 3 is a great example of this. Players can play melee-only characters, casters, archers, or miracle builds. Miracle builds are typically favored by newer players looking for a leg up in the early-game, yet so many of the miracles in Dark Souls 3 are new-player traps that should be avoided....

As reviews for Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise are slowly being published, one valid critique that the game received was how it suffers from a tremendously choppy framerate, making it look like it’s stuttering and in return, providing a not-so-great playthrough. As it turns out, the issue is being looked at, and even the game’s writer/ director is going to do something about it. Hidetaka Suehiro (also known as Swery), who is Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise’s writer and director, took the time to address the framerate issue during a YouTube stream....
There was a moment near the beginning of Robert Zemeckis’ odyssey into mo-cap animation where the press believed the magic trick: Yes, these soulless dead-eyed automatons who kind of look like Tom Hanks in a Santa suit are the future, we were told. Yet no matter how much digital snow was drawn on Hanks’ head, never once did anyone feel Christmas cheer. I was reminded of this trip to the uncanny valley while watching Dear Evan Hansen....
