Developer Toys For Bob released more details about the new Crash game at the most recent PlayStation State of Play event, including revealing some new skins that players will be able to unlock during the game. After many years and many less than stellar attempts at sequels, Crash Bandicoot 4 will be a canon sequel to the last Naughty Dog game in the series, Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped....

The mid to late 90s was a golden age for Nintendo. They were finally bringing their flagship characters into the 3D landscape. Anyone around during that time remembers the look of awe at seeing Mario fly through the clouds or Star Fox lead his team through space in 3D. Besides Super Mario 64, no game has inspired nostalgia and reverence in gamers everywhere than The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time....

This article contains Cruella spoilers. Read our spoiler-free review here. It’s rare to have a movie as focus-tested and committee-approved as Disney’s Cruella surprise you. But in my case, it did. Filled with vamping swagger and fabulous charm, this reimagining legitimately does something fresh with its premise, and broke down my curmudgeonly skepticism toward a Cruella de Vil origin story in the process. Dodging the boring impulse to just remake 101 Dalmatians (which Disney already did once in 1996), this is an eccentric blend of heist movie twists, 1970s decadence, and even shades of All About Eve....

Crysis is a game that has been pushing the limits of hardware since its original release, so much so that it led to the meme “Can it run Crysis?” being applied to almost any piece of gaming technology. This legendary meme status was even included as a tongue-in-cheek graphics setting in Crysis Remastered. The game continues to impress, with the inclusion of ray tracing on the upcoming console versions of the technically demanding FPS....

Since it’s the last AAA big-budget game that got released in the year 2020, it’s only fitting that Cyberpunk 2077 is the most graphically demanding game. It’s currently the “Crysis” of its own generation or the game that turned most gaming hardware into jet engines or reduced them to charcoal. Whether it’s by poor optimization or just how advanced it is for today’s current hardware, Cyberpunk 2077 is up there in the Major Leagues of graphics tech....

Yorinobu Arasaka is the second child of Saburo Arasaka. He is a very prominent figure in the game. The players first learn of Yorinobu after being hired by Dex and Evelyn Parker, renowned as the heir of the Arasaka empire and one of the most powerful men in Night City. Aside from those reputations, there is so much more to Yorinobu than meets the eye. He may not be the most honorable man, but then again, he is an Arasaka....

Since developer CD Projekt Red released its latest title, Cyberpunk 2077, reports surfaced online about numerous issues in-game. Those issues included NPCs just standing in front of moving cars or wandering into parts of the Cyberpunk 2077 world it appears they weren’t ever supposed to venture. Thankfully, a new Cyberpunk 2077 PC mod sharpens the game’s pedestrians’ sense of awareness and makes other tweaks that have the background NPCs seem a bit more realistic....

Our quick take Dali Epicon 2 bookshelf speakers - 4.5 / 5 We don’t want to give them back Design Speaker bindings that mean business Sound quality To recap It might seem obvious that £3800 speakers are very good indeed, but expensive things are not always better. The Dali Epicon 2 speakers, however, are better than everyone we’ve tested or heard in our life in this price range. Sure, you can spend less - Dali has speakers that are more affordable - but we doubt there’s much that can come close to the overall performance of these speakers....

Days Gone actor Sam Witwer hosted a Reddit AMA session recently, where he briefly spoke about the potential sequel, which was scrapped by Sony years ago.

The real-time tactics game Desperados 3 released earlier this year, serving as a prequel to 2001’s Desperados: Dead or Alive. The game was largely successful, being counted as one of the highest-rated games of 2020 in June, and a number of DLC expansions have released since. That success has afforded development studio Mimimi Games the opportunity to move onto a new project, which it announced today is tentatively called Codename Sußkartoffel - German for “sweet potato....

Game developer Bungie officially announces the return of Destiny’s Iron Banner after applying a fix in order to correct the sci-fi shooter’s heavy ammo bug. Earlier today, the Bungie Help Twitter account revealed the Destiny patch version 2.2.3.0 to fix the recent heavy ammo glitch, but didn’t exclaim that it would definitively work. Now, however, it seems to have done the trick, for according to a post on the studio’s website, the action-RPG’s developers have officially brought back the Crucible event known as the Iron Banner after having cancelled it and Trials of Osiris last week due to the aforementioned flaw....

We have the early scoop on where to find the vendor Xur and what exotic armor and weapons he has available to Destiny players for the weekend of February 12th.

It’s no secret that Destiny 2 developer Bungie is up against the wall when it comes to its community. Many of the players that once put in daily hours in Bungie’s world have become frustrated with the state of Destiny 2 and they are looking for some drastic changes. In an effort to improve Destiny 2 for the future, Bungie has posted a job listing for a ‘Gameplay Specialist’ position. Essentially, the position would be responsible for representing the hardcore Destiny player, testing activities, and communicating what does and doesn’t work in the sequel’s endgame....

When Bungie introduced masterwork versions of exotic weapons for Destiny 2, they did so with a little twist. Whereas masterwork legendary gear requires a currency called masterwork cores to upgrade, or they can drop as masterworks, exotic masterworks feature a two-pronged system. First, players need to get a catalyst for the exotic and then they need to complete the objective tied to the catalyst to fully unlock the power of the exotic masterwork....

It is now more effective than ever for players to farm specific weapons in Gambit Prime and the Reckoning. As of Update 2.2.1, which came to Destiny 2 April 9, 2019, defeating a boss in either Tier 2 or Tier 3 has a chance to reward a Gambit Prime weapon and the chances for a weapon to drop increase every time players kill a boss without getting a weapon as a reward....
