When it comes to the endgame of Classic World of Warcraft, it’s about consumables just as much as gear quality and spell rotation or talent tree abilities. There are high-level recipes for flasks, elixirs, and potions that are part of the required gear for raiding and PvP, but not all of the useful potions in Classic WoW are made and used by level 60 players. A player doesn’t have to visit the lab in Scholomance to make a potion that gives that crucial spell buff, strengthens the armor, or gives them an extra edge in the battleground....

Few moments in the history of The Walking Dead will be as big as the return of Rick Grimes. Ever since he was transported away to parts unknown by the Civic Republic in season 9, fans have counted down the days until Rick’s upcoming Walking Dead movie, the first in a planned trilogy of films starring everyone’s favorite post-apocalyptic sheriff. For some fans, Rick’s return is the main reason to keep up with The Walking Dead universe of shows, which have slowly been teasing out details regarding where he might’ve disappeared to....

An upcoming Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map mode called Truck Wars will let players live out a Mad Max fever dream, complete with drivable cars and base building. It’s been over three years since Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was released by Valve, and the community behind the game is still going strong. Two custom map creators named CTX and Jarro have now released a trailer for an upcoming Mad Max inspired Counter-Strike: Go game type called Truck Wars, which lets players form dusty convoys, build bases, and raise some hell across a desert-based map....

Fans hoping for a return for beloved platform star Crash Bandicoot may feel disappointed, after Sony confirms Activision still holds the rights to the property. Over recent years, a number of extremely popular but dormant video game franchises have seen triumphant returns to the industry. With so many series waking from their slumbers, many gamers were hoping that Crash Bandicoot, one of the darlings of the early 3D platformer age, would also make its way back to gaming - particularly after recent hints from voice actors....

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has made several name changes to a few recently-released racer skins in the game, specifically with regards to those that feature names that could be considered racially insensitive. Developer Beenox issued a patch earlier this week that tweaked the names of several new DLC skins added to the game in an update on July 6th, but never explained why it was doing so. Of course, gamers can read between the lines when many of the renamed skins feature either “Black” or White” in their name....

Sparkles is a well-known Counter-Strike: Global Offensive YouTuber, and he has just done what many thought was impossible. Thankfully, he had an ace up his sleeves to bring his goal within reach: a whole lot of money. Sparkles just spent an estimated $15,000 on the game in an effort to get one single weapons skin, a StatTrak AK47 Fire Serpent in Factory New. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive offers players a couple of ways to get weapon skins, but Sparkles opted to use the trade-up method....

As it has been revealed that players will select from three distinct origin stories for their characters in Cyberpunk 2077, it is time to madly speculate about exactly what kind of effect these origins will have. They’re the Nomad, Corpo, or Street Kid, and they could impact the overall story and gameplay farther down the narrative line. Lead quest designer Pawel Sasko recently informed VG247 each choice will provide both a unique prologue to each character and a different starting location and background....

Cyberpunk 2077 fans who played and enjoyed Detroit: Become Human may be excited to hear that the two games will be sharing two important voice actors. Bryan Dechart, who voiced Connor in DBH and Amelia Rose Blaire, who voiced Traci in the same game, recently announced that they will be joining the voice cast for Cyberpunk 2077, which releases next month. Both Cyberpunk 2077 and Detroit: Become Human are sci-fi games that could be said to fall into the “cyberpunk” genre, incorporating themes of freedom/autonomy vs order and featuring technological gadgets and robots....

As awe-inspiring as the current generation of games can be, there are some things they just can’t capture. For some of us, its the once-in-a-generation combination of innovation and gameplay. For others, it’s the feeling of nostalgia that can only be satisfied by diving back into our favorite titles from years past. While the reasons for it are many, the fact is that there’s a thriving market for past-gen games, and fans are more than willing to shell out some extra cash for the chance at some well-loved throwback action....

Undoubtedly, many would consider Sony and Bend Studio’s forthcoming action-adventure game Days Gone to be one of the most highly anticipated PS4 exclusives, as the title has the potential to reinvigorate both the post-apocalyptic and zombie genres.

WarnerMedia’s company-wide restructuring has led to hundreds of employees being laid off across multiple divisions.

With the PS5 and Xbox Series X finally in homes, players have quickly begun diving into both launch titles and the best games to be ported from the previous generation to new systems. One of those titles, Dead by Daylight, has been working towards reinventing itself with new killers like The Twins and graphical updates coming alongside the game’s jump to next-gen consoles. In a recent interview with Game Rant, Behaviour Interactive’s Head of Partnerships, Mathieu Cote, commented on what kind of features Dead by Daylight will be taking advantage of on next-gen consoles....

Dead by Daylight players are still enjoying the game’s latest chapter and DLC characters that came with it. This would of course be the Silent Hill chapter that gave players access to both Pyramid Head and Cheryl Mason from the cult classic horror game series. However, Dead by Daylight’s newest chapter will be coming soon, with it being teased via a short trailer released on the official Dead by Daylight YouTube channel....

In just six hours, Kojima Productions’ latest trailer for Death Stranding managed to break records upon its release. The trailer gives a look at Mads Mikkelsen’s character Cliff, his undead soldiers, melee and gunplay from Norman Reedus’ character Sam, Death Stranding’s release date, and a variety of environments in a mystifying manner suiting the allure of the game. And for this reason, perhaps, the trailer became the fastest viewed and liked video game trailer of 2019....

A statistical study of weapon types shows Destiny players which weapons are the best for using on Aksis during the final boss fight in the Wrath of the Machine raid. When developer Bungie first revealed that Destiny’s new raid, Wrath of the Machine, would be DPS focused instead of mechanics focused players were curious to find out what that meant. Now that Wrath of the Machine has been out for a few weeks, and is set to release its Heroic Mode in a week, players have shifted their focus onto finding the weapons that do the most damage, especially in the final boss fight....

Destiny 2 is a large game with a variety of different planets and locales to explore within the Solar System. Each area within the game has hidden areas and Easter eggs provided to players by Bungie. One of those areas that the game offers is The Tangled Shore nestled within the Reef of the asteroid belt. First introduced in the game’s Forsaken add-on, the Tangled Shore gave players not only a new area to explore but new lore to be discovered that adds to the game’s universe....

Guardians will need to find and scan six different clues throughout the Glykon during the Presage Exotic Mission....

With the recent announcement of the Destiny Content Vault or DCV, players have begun playing older pieces of content to prepare for the upcoming Beyond Light expansion. When this expansion launches, players will no longer be able to access Mercury, Io, Titan, Mars, and the Leviathan.

Destiny 2: Forsaken’s Last Wish raid has officially been released to the world, and fans have quickly found out that it is much harder than they were anticipating, both in terms of mechanics and power level. Following the intense World’s First race, from which Clan Redeem emerged victorious, only a small number of players successfully cleared the raid within the first 24 hours. Only twelve Destiny 2 players successfully cleared Last Wish before the daily reset on Saturday, which means those two teams, Redeem included, are the only ones in the world with the 24-hour clear emblem....

The Destiny 2 beta went live yesterday allowing fans of Bungie’s shooter series to get some hands-on time with the game before launch.
