With everyone being stuck inside due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, what better time than now to indulge in a free game? If you’ve had your eye on Ubisoft’s 2014 action-RPG Child of Light, I guess waiting six years has finally paid off. If you’ve got no quarrels with Uplay and PC, then you can head over to Ubisoft’s website and redeem the title for free on your account. The title, which normally runs for $14....
The sci-fi genre is nothing new to Chris Pratt, who played the iconic Peter Quill in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, reprising his role throughout several more MCU projects. Pratt also traveled through space in 2016’s romantic adventure Passengers, where he shared his screen time with Jennifer Lawrence. Now, the actor will finally do some time traveling, which he never did in Avengers: Endgame, to fight the alien threat in the sci-fi military action The Tomorrow War....
This week, Obsidian Entertainment announced its upcoming first-person fantasy RPG Avowed, leading many fans to suspect the developer has set its sights on the exact market left open by Bethesda’s slow development of The Elder Scrolls 6. Avowed is set in the world of the Pillars of Eternity games, where the god Eothas plays a large role, one with interesting parallels to the demonic “daedric” prince Mehrunes Dagon, a recurring villain and subject of worship in The Elder Scrolls series....
A fan-favorite franchise may finally be making a triumphant return. Crysis has awakened from its slumber, as the official Crysis Twitter page tweeted out for the first time in over four years. Fans of the franchise immediately started speculating as to what the cryptic “RECEIVING DATA” tweet means for the future of Crysis. The last game in the franchise was released in 2013, so any additional wait seems unbearable. Thankfully, for the sake of the fans, the wait for another tweet was significantly less than four years, as the very next day the Crysis Twitter page tweeted out “Hey Nomad, you’re still with us?...
A Redditor may have inadvertently discovered the most hilarious way to cheese a boss fight of all time. For once, Cyberpunk 2077 delivers a meme that isn’t a bug. Let’s face it, CDPR games are too easy. The Witcher 3 is a magnificent achievement in terms of scale, presentation, and storytelling, but if you’re looking for challenging combat, you aren’t going to find it unless you add a total overhaul mod like Enhanced Edition....
Stadia (and its staunch fanbase) has been touting the futuristic promise of the platform for the better part of the last year to a generally apathetic gaming audience. When Stadia launched in late 2019, Google told us you could play games without needing to buy a console or PC, but considering we already bought our consoles and PCs years ago (and have been buying them for 4+ generations,) this wasn’t a concern for many....
If you’re not playing Cyberpunk 2077 in English or Polish, don’t worry–CD Projekt Red is making sure all facial animations will be fully lip-synced in every language. This isn’t something that comes lightly. CD Projekt Red had to use cutting-edge facial animation software to pull off this feat, but the results will certainly be worth it for Cyberpunk 2077 to be a truly global phenomenon. The super dubbing is all explained by senior quest designer Philipp Weber, who took to Twitter to reveal the next-gen tech that Cyberpunk 2077 is using for lip-syncing....
Mythic Odysseys of Theros, D&D’s new Greek mythology-themed sourcebook, has been delayed. Sad news to report today: Mythic Odysseys of Theros has been delayed due to COVID-19. Originally set to release on June 2, the new release date is listed as July 21. According to an explanation from Wizards of the Coast, we’ve got shutdowns at the printers to blame. “The printers Dungeons & Dragons depends upon to create the fantastic additions to your RPG collection have been closed to keep everyone safe during this time....
High-end French restaurants set extremely high culinary standards. Amateurs tend to focus on only the single element of ingredients, whereas upscale chefs understand that tools, temperature, and timing are of equal importance. The phrase they use to educate the students of their craft is “mise en place” or “put in place.” If the right tools are not in the right place at the right moment, then a gourmet meal becomes a routine meal....
In Dark Souls 3, Undead Bone Shards grant players a boost to an Estus Flask’s recovery amount, permanently increasing the number of hit points (HP) recovered from a regular Estus Flask and/or focus points (FP) recovered from an Ashen Estus Flask. The Dark Souls universe has a plethora of items that provide buffs and benefits to the player, but these are arguably among the most important of them. Although Undead Bone Shards are vital to improving the likelihood of one’s survival in Dark Souls 3’s unforgiving world, they are few and far between in the game....
Publisher Bandai Namco releases a statement regarding the massive success of Dark Souls 3, announcing the action RPG has already surpassed sales expectations. The hype swirling around Dark Souls 3 prior to its western launch made it one of the most anticipated arrivals for the series From Software and Bandai Namco had ever experienced. The marketing surrounding the game, which included one of the most intense launch trailers ever produced, helped feed into the burgeoning belief that Dark Souls 3 would be the final and consequently greatest entry into the Dark Souls series ever produced....
For almost any developer, making a game as successful and critically acclaimed as Heavy Rain would mean just one thing: time to start on the sequel. However, Heavy Rain author, and Quantic Dream head, David Cage seems to have gone against the grain - stating that Quantic Dream is not working on a sequel to the hit PS3 title. Cage is not interested in creating franchises, but is instead more concerned with building the “David Cage brand....
A Death Stranding fan in China has made a mobile baby carrier that looks exactly like the BB Pods from Hideo Kojima’s latest game. Coronavirus is a growing problem, with the global pandemic now so large that it’s triggering an economic slowdown. Global cases have topped 110,000, the death toll is over 4,000, and cases are popping up in nearly every country in the developed world. Italy is completely locked down with a travel ban, school closures, and all public events canceled, while similar measures are starting to be taken in various locations in the US....
A curious thing is happening on the Xbox One’s official storefront, as Xbox 360 backward compatible games that have long been delisted from the official Xbox One store are reappearing. And further, they’re available to purchase in ways that were never available prior. No justification for the changes has been provided by Xbox as of yet, but some believe this could be a change made in preparation for the upcoming launch of the Xbox Series X....
Originally released for PC in 2019, KeokeN Interactive’s Deliver Us The Moon - which included both the 2018 Kickstarter-funded project known as Deliver Us The Moon: Fortuna, along with the planned DLC chapter known as, “Tombaugh” - didn’t quite stick the landing in our original review. The ambitious space science fiction adventure had a lot to like in the way of its visuals, setting, and lore, but was unfortunately marred by in-game technical issues along with a third act that felt like a totally different game....
Celeste has always been a tough game for me, and not just because of its difficulty spike. I played Celeste around its release in 2018, and that was back before I worked in games. I still loved video games, but I wasn’t involved in all of the daily cut-and-thrust of video game discourse, I didn’t know too much about the stories within the industry, and since I mostly play offline games, I was only tangentially involved in the communities around gaming....
Owen “smooya” Butterfield has temporarily stepped down from his starting roster to deal with issues that surround his visa. Just a day before his team’s big match against Gen.G, the United Kingdom native recently announced on Twitter that he was back in his home country. Stepping in for him will be Triumph’s Logan “Voltage” Long. It is unclear how long smooya will be on the bench for. So far, smooya has played just one game of CS:GO with Chaos during Flashpoint’s inaugural season....

A sneak preview of Cobra Kai’s upcoming fourth season has arrived in the form of a teaser trailer and the reveal of an imminently clarified December release date. The series has certainly come a long way from its initial launch on a streaming platform no one watched to its current chart-topping heights on Netflix, as exemplified by its recent Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series. However, contrary to the Television Academy’s designation, there’s nothing funny about the new teaser, which may be brief, but is packed with intense revelations....
Nobody likes DRM, but at least Control Ultimate Edition keeps it to a minimum. According to a new report, you’ll need to connect to the internet for a DRM check if you purchase the physical version of the game on Xbox. But if you buy it on the PS4, you won’t have to do that. At issue here is the physical storage limitations on an Xbox disc. Eurogamer notes that the Twitter account @DoesItPlay1 began circulating the rumor that Ultimate Edition’s campaign just wouldn’t fit on the disc and once players reached the opening maintenance elevator they’re “instructed to download an update....
