For the longest time in Destiny 2, there were a few Ghost perks that were far and away better than all the rest. Since Shadowkeep introduced the Seasonal Artifact, tying your power level directly to how much XP you acquire throughout the season, Guiding Light became a must-have perk. After that, Treasure Hunter of Speed Demon were pretty much the other two perk options you wanted on your Ghost, meaning every other perk combination was strictly sub-par....

Dark Souls 3 can be a rather intimidating game to get into. The trilogy’s final installment has some of the toughest foes the franchise has seen, meaning that new players will struggle greatly during the opening hours. For many, this is why choosing a good starting class is important. Classes in Dark Souls 3 are different from most RPGs in that they don’t lock players into a playstyle. Instead, they give players different equipment to start with alongside different starting stats....

Darkwing Duck, Disney’s classic early 90s cartoon series about a crime fighting mallard, has become the latest of many old favorites to earn an upcoming reboot.

South Korea is one of the few countries in the world where Google doesn’t dominate. Instead, Naver remains the primary search engine used by Korean netizens. Like Google (or, more accurately, Alphabet), the Naver Corporation isn’t simply a search engine, but is a conglomerate with many companies under its umbrella. This includes Webtoon, a service you may or may not have heard of but is, by some useful metrics, the most successful comics publisher in the world....

Out of all the ex-Visceral devs, one of the most outspoken has been Zach Wilson, who revealed that Dead Space 2 was considered a sales disappointment, despite the fact that it sold 4 million copies.

That’ll run you 4,180 yen (or roughly $40). The release schedule for Death Come True is a little bizarre.

The Tower of Latria is exemplary of Demon’s Souls’ level design at its best, with the Prison of Hope particularly standing out as one of the most terrifying stages in the Soulsborne franchise. FromSoftware has always had a knack for implementing horror into their games, but the Tower of Latria raises Demon’s Souls to another level.

Even though FromSoftware’s Demon’s Souls hides a good majority of its side quests behind World Tendency, Biorr of the Twin Fangs is one of the few NPCs any player can meet regardless of Tendency. Locked up in a Boletarian dungeon, Biorr was one of the kingdom’s strongest knights before executioner Miralda imprisoned him on King Allant’s orders. Unlike Vallarfax – Biorr’s Twin Fang compatriot – who goes through the whole story without so much as an appearance, Biorr has the potential to play a major role during the Archstone of the Small King....
