The Deathslinger is Dead by Daylight’s newest killer, and has become a staple character that is seeing a good amount of play at all ranks. Like all killers, there are a few specific tips and best practices that players can use to dominate a group of survivors. Thanks to the character’s innovative design, there are various ways to play the new killer. Does Size Matter? Only When It Comes To Terror Radius For starters, The Deathslinger’s Terror Radius is smaller than the average killer....

At the Hideo Kojima Storyteller panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, film director Nicolas Winding Refn joined the visionary director of Death Stranding. Some good time was devoted to let Refn talk about his friendship with Kojima, projects he has worked on, and his feelings about games, but things kicked off with a discussion of Refn’s character in Death Stranding, Heartman. First, the panel attendees were treated to a short cutscene in which Sam (Norman Reedus) is looking upon an unresponsive Heartman, with an electronic metal box attached to his torso....

Jaw Drop Games’ Deathground blends the ancient reptiles from Jurassic Park with elements of survival horror. We’re pleasantly awestricken by the look, scale, and scope of this ambitious horror title (not to mention, more than a little terrified). Hold On To Your Butts With a Kickstarter campaign nearing its $100,000 goal, Jaw Drop Games is looking to tip the scales of horror in a whole new, more uproarious direction. Their survival horror dinosaur game focuses both on single and co-op experiences, allowing for teams of up to 3 players (or one solo player) pitted against a jungle world brimming with deadly prehistoric beasts....

In the days before every console was connected to the internet, games needed to be polished and ready to play at launch. There were no patches, no DLC—the game was what it was until a sequel or expansion came out. This meant developers had to take their time ensuring the game ran as smoothly as possible, no matter what weird things players did over the course of the game....

Since landing in Japan with a record-breaking $44 million debut, Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train has continued to enjoy box office success. Now, Demon Slayer The Movie has surpassed the 20.3 billion yen total intake of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone to become the fifth-highest grossing film of all time in Japan. Based on the 2019 anime series of the same name, Demon Slayer The Movie followed its successful premiere by adding 3....

Anthem may have had a problematic launch (and it really, really has), but it’s not all bad news, as it’s still topping sales charts – well, some sales charts, or rather, one. Now, we often hear that first impressions are very important. Some people have learnt all they need to know about you within a few minutes of meeting you (no pressure if you’re on the way to a job interview later today), and if that first encounter goes poorly, it can be difficult to recover from....

Guardians playing Bungie’s Destiny 2 don’t always have to head to battle guns blazing. However, other players with a flair for tactical battles might want to approach their missions with a degree of finesse. After all, what better way of keeping safe on the battlefield than by dealing damage from afar? And thanks to the Sniper Rifle, players can easily play with enemies from the rear while their allies pick them off....

Destiny 2: Forsaken is looking to reinvigorate the game, and as the developers at Bungie have described it, they’re trying to bring back the hobby of Destiny. With new information about the new character and Power level caps, it looks like players looking for that hobby could be on a long journey of grinding to finally hit the upper echelon of Power in Destiny 2. According to YouTuber MesaSean, who played the latest build of Destiny 2: Forsaken and talked directly with Bungie to confirm, the character level cap in Destiny 2: Forsaken is 50 and the Power level cap is 600....

More big news arrived this week for Destiny 2 fans as Bungie revealed a brand new Beyond Light trailer at the digital gamescom event this week. While the company has previously discussed and even shown off the new Darkness-based subclasses, the trailer finally delved a bit deeper into each of the specific class types while showing off just what they can do against enemies. As expected, Stasis gives players the ability to slow and even shatter frozen enemies where they stand....

As promised, developer Bungie has detailed the Masterwork Armor that will be coming soon to Destiny 2. The armor takes the Masterwork system (formerly applied only to weapons) further, creating a similar grind for the opposite side of players’ inventory screens. Come next week, when Masterwork armor is added to the game, players might want to pay attention. That’s because the Masterwork armor could potentially give players an edge, especially in the Crucible....

The Festival of the Lost seasonal event returned to Destiny 2 this week, dressing up the Tower once more in the familiar Halloween decorations and bringing back the Haunted Forest activity. One slightly new element this year is the inclusion of Spider and his ciphers which can be earned by playing in normal activities in order to open more chests at the end of a Haunted Forest run. Ultimately, players can unlock triumphs tied directly to opening chests, meaning players have been attempting to find the best way to quickly obtain these key items....

One of the biggest mysteries in Destiny 2’s upcoming Forsaken expansion is the Dreaming City. Bungie has given small tidbits of information about what players can expect from the endgame patrol zone, and today Bungie released a new trailer filled with hints of what players will get to take on when they step foot into the Awoken homeland, including some hints about the raid that comes with Forsaken. The trailer is all about the corruption that has taken hold in the Awoken’s sacred city....

During Bungie’s Destiny 2 gameplay reveal the team announced that four explorable worlds would be featured. Those four worlds include Earth, though it’s areas of Earth that Destiny players won’t be familiar with, Saturn’s moon Titan, Nessus, and Jupiter’s moon Io. While Bungie didn’t outright say that Destiny 2 wouldn’t explore beyond these four worlds, it’s safe to say that at least at launch these will be the explorable worlds for PvE....

So far, Bungie’s commitment to giving players something new to do in Destiny 2 each week has proven to be true. This week sees the reintroduction of the three factions from the previous game in what Bungie is calling Faction Rallies. The special event begins today, running through October 3 where players can pledge their loyalty to one of three factions: Future War Cult, Dead Orbit, and New Monarchy. During this event, players earn faction tokens for participating in most activities like Lost Sectors, Strikes, the Leviathan Raid, Public Events, and the Crucible....

With only 8 days until Wrath of the Machine Heroic Mode releases, Destiny players are in a rush to get prepared. Obviously, getting through the Normal Mode version of the raid is a great place to start, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. If players want to be well-prepared for the next endgame challenge in Destiny they will want to be at or close to light level 385 by the time the 18th rolls around....

Capcom has started uploaded dozens of its game soundtracks to Spotify. Those who haven’t picked up a controller since the days of the Atari 2600 would probably find this baffling, but the genre of video game music has become so transcendental and all-encompassing that it really deserves it’s own section in the Grammys. Capcom, a publisher responsible for some of the most memorable 8-bit bangers ever rendered on to an NES cartridge, would certainly agree given how they’ve recently ported a ton of soundtracks over to Spotify....

There are a lot of things in video games you never really think about, like why the big bad enemy at the end of a level is called a “boss” or why everyone has a love/hate relationship with the entire Dark Souls franchise. You just sort of take them as unwritten rules of gaming. Same thing with Capcom’s RE Engine. Resident Evil has always been abbreviated as “RE,” so “RE Engine” must stand for Resident Evil Engine....

Fans of the Five Nights at Freddy’s series already have a brand-new entry, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach, to look forward to. This will mark the series’ debut on next-gen hardware, but that game has no release date as of this writing. In the meantime, fans can relive the series so far with two re-releases from publisher Maximum Games that will be receiving physical versions for current-gen consoles within the next couple of months, one of them having been rumored for Switch just last month....

After Sledgehammer Games initially tried their hand at the Call of Duty franchise by taking the reins of Modern Warfare 3, many fans of the first-person shooter series believed the studio made so many missteps with the title – even though it set a sales record of $3 billion over 16 days – that the Call of Duty brand had been tarnished for good. However, the developer collectively stepped their game up with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, as the title grew into a critical and commercial success, becoming the top-selling game of 2014....

I have to start this with a disclaimer. I don’t keep up-to-date with every single meta-change in competitive Pokémon. That being said, if you think this list doesn’t properly encapsulate every Pokémon that has the absolute worst stats, understand that I know this. It wouldn’t be fair for me to put baby Pokémon like Elekid or Magby on this list because they are supposed to be weak. They are babies. Have you ever fought a baby?...
