Destiny 2: Beyond Light is the latest annual expansion in massively popular looter shooter series by Bungie. The studio had a lot to prove this year since it was now developing the game entirely split from Activision, the former publisher of Destiny. Furthermore, fans were becoming jaded by the stagnating and underwhelming nature of some of the game’s core elements. With the release now behind fans, here’s what Beyond Light got right....

Capcom went from on top of the world to a rough patch very recently. On top of COVID-19 delaying Monster Hunter Rise, the company was also the target of a major hack. Last week, the hacker group Ragnar Locker attempted to compromise Capcom’s data with ransomware. Unfortunately, the attempt was successful, and a lot of data was stolen. Capcom released an official statement soon after the hack, confirming it was looking into what had been stolen....

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery… but not in the world of corporate copyright. New Chinese fantasy drama Douluo Continent came under fire after its premiere last week when viewers noticed that some shots in the drama’s magical opening credits, created by third party company Visual Impact Digital Production, looked quite similar to shots in the magical opening credits for the His Dark Materials TV show… You can watch the Douluo Continent credit sequence here:...

“Alexa, ¿crees en Papá Noel?”. Hay algunos de estos comandos diferentes que abren golosinas ocultas de Alexa, incluyendo llegar a hablar con el mismísimo Papá Noel. “Alexa, ¿quién está en la lista de los malos? Si le preguntas a Papá Noel, entrarás en un juego interactivo en el que te hará algunas preguntas para averiguar si has sido travieso o bueno. “Alexa, canta Auld Lang Syne”. Si alguna vez has querido oír cantar a Alexa, ahora por fin podrás comprobarlo....

Nendoroids continue to be a popular figurine option, with the unique style of the models charming buyers across fandoms. 2020 has been a big year for the company seeing its most expansive push for some of the most requested character models ever. It was back in March that pre-orders opened for Animal Crossing’s Isabelle Nendoroid and since then many more beloved characters have been announced for release.

Crash Bandicoot came back big in the past few years with the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. This triumphant return is continuing with the recently released Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, the first new game in the series in almost ten years.

Activision brings back classic 90s commercials to promote the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, which offers remasters of the first three games in the platformer series, giving fans a triple dose of nostalgia. When Crash Bandicoot landed on the scene in the 1990s, Activision marketed the game with some rather silly adverts showing the marsupial in day to day life. Fans loved the commercials and so it was only fitting that the company brought them back for Crash Bandicoot N....

Crysis Remastered released last year to high expectations and the hope that dedicated PC gamers could get it to look absolutely stunning with the right tech. Unfortunately, many gamers felt Crysis Remastered fell short of its promises, with poor shooter gameplay and graphics that wowed in some areas but failed to impress in others. Though an impressive 8K trailer for Crysis Remastered showed off improvements over the original Crysis, PC gamers immediately called for improvements to reduce the heavy load on CPUs....

After waiting five long years between trailers, CD Projekt RED closed out the Microsoft E3 2018 press conference in style by revealing a brand new Cyberpunk 2077 trailer. The video offered up some new details about the game’s setting, Night City, as well as the grim things that its inhabitants get up to and it even offered a brief description of the game’s story too. But these were only the most obvious points from the trailer, as it appears that the developer also included a hidden message for fans....

Twitch streamer and speedrunner CZR has outdone himself again, breaking the 30-minute barrier with a 29:49 time in Super Mario 64. The catch? He did it using an electric drumkit with the drums mapped to Nintendo 64 controls. On August 30, 2020, CZR broke his own world record in the “Drum%” category of Super Mario 64 speedrunning. CZR had been grinding for this time for a few weeks now, initially breaking the hour barrier earlier this month, so his skill has improved greatly as he’s nearly halved his time in three weeks....

There are a lot of subtle mechanics to learn in the Dark Souls series when it comes to mastering the combat. And these mechanics (for the most part) extend to From Software’s other games such as Demon’s Souls or Bloodborne. The associated complexity and depth is why people love the franchise so much, or why some people even turn other games into Dark Souls. In Dark Souls Remastered, Poise works exactly the same as it did in its previous iteration, but this remaster also brought a lot of new players — so let’s take a quick look at it again and break it down, as it’s a crucial element of Dark Souls combat that players should understand the basics of, at minimum....

The protagonist of Demon’s Souls is the primary catalyst for everything that happens in the game. Known only as the Slayer of Demons they are responsible for either the salvation of Boletaria or its utter destruction. For someone of great importance and power there is a lot about this character that doesn’t make much sense. Whether it’s their role in the story, their relationship with demons, or their ultimate fate there is a lot that doesn’t stack up....
