Destiny 2: Beyond Light introduces a suite of new Exotics for Guardians to try out. Some of these Exotics toy around with the new Stasis Subclass while others enhance older Subclasses or playstyles. Besides the sheer variety of Exotics in this expansion, the design of these Exotics from a visual and perk standpoint are some of the most unique Exotics in Destiny history. From a storm-casting Sniper Rifle to a poisonous pair of gloves, here are all of Beyond Light’s Exotics ranked from worst to best....

Things may have slowed considerably in the extended season for Destiny 2 players, but help is soon on the way. This week, Bungie revealed the 2020 version of the Festival of the Lost, Destiny’s version of a Halloween celebration. As expected, the Haunted Forest is making its return this year bringing multiple treasure chests to be earned as well as mask wearing bonuses. Thankfully, it sounds like Bungie is not only bringing back classic masks from years past, but there will be new ones to collect as well....

Players of the Destiny 2 beta got an extra (nearly) two days with the beta after it was extended earlier this week. While that allowed Bungie to do some more rigorous testing of the backend systems in the game, the extra time allotted to testing the beta ended up delaying another planned maintenance for the game. On July 25, there was a scheduled clan migration, which would require anyone who currently leads a clan in Destiny 1 through Bungie....

With the release of the massive Forsaken expansion, Destiny 2 added tons of new supers, including the Spectral Blades for Nightstalker Hunters. At first, this super was the not the most well-received, but following a “super buff” a few months ago, it seems that the developer Bungie has seen fit to nerf Spectral Blades. This appears to be mainly due to the super’s role in the Crucible meta, so Bungie is outlining a few plans to reign in the Spectral Blades super....

Bungie promised players that the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2 would contain plenty of secrets for them to find and the developer certainly seems to have delivered on that front. From exotic quests like Malfeasance and Wish Ender, to hidden cat statues around The Dreaming City, it seems like there’s always something new being discovered each week. The same holds true for this past week when another hidden wish plate was discovered and immediately put to use inside of the Last Wish Raid....

Destiny 2 has been one of the most popular sci-fi RPG shooters in the gaming world for some time now. However, there is a new challenger on the block in the form of Outriders. The game is due for release at the beginning of April 2021, and the demo is already a massive success on Steam. There’s a lot riding on this promising upcoming release and gamers are desperate to see it deliver....

Destiny challenge legend Slayerage completes the Siege Engine encounter in the new Wrath of the Machine raid solo with the help of a very useful trick. After nearly two months of players thinking it could never be done, one Destiny player has finally completed the Siege Engine encounter solo. Even more impressive than that, the individual in question was able to complete the Heroic Mode version of the encounter. Those who are invested in the Destiny challenge community can probably guess that Slayerage was the first to solo the Siege Machine, but he didn’t do it alone....

Although the developers at Bungie have likely shifted focus almost completely to Destiny 2, a new glitch has surfaced in the first game that will need attention. Players have discovered that it is possible for a Striker Titan to get its Shoulder Charge ability off without ever building the necessary momentum. It’s unclear whether the glitch was unlocked in Destiny or if it was there all along, but this weekend several players began to point it out....

Devoted fans of Capcom will be delighted to know that the company is running a week-long sale through the PlayStation Store. The sale will enable players to purchase many hit Capcom titles for up to 80% off until July 9th. Capcom has created a long list of fantastic games over the years with Resident Evil and Monster Hunter among its most successful franchises to date. While you can purchase many older Capcom titles online in physical form, there has been a notable increase in the popularity of purchasing them through various digital stores....

If you’re unaware of what “heroes don’t do,” it’s eat pussy. When the Harley Quinn show wanted to include a scene where Batman was going down on Catwoman, it was nixed, because “heroes don’t do that.” Specifically, that’s DC heroes, so Iron Man, Spidey, and Thor may well be very cunning linguists. However, that means DC wants us to believe that Green Arrow never goes down on Black Canary. That Superman isn’t a generous lover....

Civilization 6 has been out for a while now, with the game earning plenty of fans. While the game seemingly throws out random maps at players, each configuration comes with a map seed, which can then be used to activate the same civilizations and their starting points. This makes a big difference as certain Wonders require the player to have cities on a specific type of tile. Likewise, placing certain Districts on tiles can benefit a civilization with added bonuses....

CLX, the popular PC integrator, today announced the addition of 11th Gen Intel Core processors to its lineup of customizable gaming rigs. Many of these builds are also compatible with RTX 30 series GPUs – making the CLX family of products an affordable way to get your hands on the most powerful components on the market. CLX offers a variety of base configurations – with names heavily influenced by Egyptian mythology such as Ra, Scarab, and Horus – although you’re free to customize nearly all aspects of the build....

The new AWE expansion for Control brings you back to the enigmatic and labyrinthine Oldest House to investigate new mysteries. The first mission, A Dark Place, doesn’t assume you’ve been away from the game, so you might need a little guidance to reaquatint yourself with the bizarre world of Control. Control held a lot of potential for future DLC, and the AWE expansion looks to fully capitalize on that with a new set of narrative quests involving a certain character mentioned in various places and documents....

The torrid release schedule for Crackdown 3 continues, as today Microsoft has once again officially shifted the open world action game’s launch date. As rumored, Crackdown 3 is no longer planned for 2018. But Microsoft is a bit more firm than previously with this delay; Crackdown 3 is now officially planned to launch in February 2019 for both the PC and Xbox One. Microsoft’s Crackdown 3 announcement comes off the back of a leak on Wednesday claiming that the game had once again been delayed....

The first Grand Theft Auto game was released back in 1997 and back then no one really had any idea that it would go on to become one of the bestselling video games of all time. The concept of an open world game where players were free to do stuff that they normally couldn’t in real life was extremely fun. Fast forward to 2013 and the latest entry in the franchise, GTA V was released to the masses....

What is there to say about Saints Row: The Third that hasn’t already been said about countless other games where you can literally scoop citizens off the ground and shoot them into the air? Wait, what? Apparently there’s actually plenty more that Saints Row: The Third has to say before it hits next month, including releasing a trailer collection dubbed ‘cherished memories’ – the first of which we have for you today....

ABC and the creators behind the network’s hit comedy Black-ish are being sued by actress Hayley Marie Norman. She alleges that the Black-ish spinoff, Mixed-ish, is a flagrant theft of material she had previously pitched to several broadcasters and streamers. Norman, known for her work in Hancock and Adam Ruins Everything, had been reportedly well along in the process of getting the green light on her own series, which was based on her own background and would essentially follow the same formula that Mixed-ish would eventually use....

Cyber Shadow is the latest indie title that’s inspired by 8-bit NES games of the past such as Mega Man and Ninja Gaiden. It’s published by Yacht Club Games, the studio behind the now-iconic indie game, Shovel Knight, but the title was actually developed by one person from another smaller indie studio. In an interview with Game Rant, Aarne Hunziker of Mechanical Head Studios spoke about how it feels to work on a game mostly by himself, the working relationship between them and Yacht Club Games, what Cyber Shadow was inspired by, and if a sequel is in the works....

Crunch culture continues to play a major role in video game development, and many devs understandably want to avoid this stressful kind of situation. Now, Cyberpunk 2077 devs are reportedly being forced to work crunch time, making CD Projekt Red the latest in a list of companies accused of video game dev crunch culture in recent months. Cyberpunk 2077’s launch date is creeping up on fans, and will release not long after the Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles....

Daedalic Entertainment has recently announced its upcoming The Lord of the Rings game, which will focus on Gollum’s story. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was all about unlikely heroes, with four hobbits going on an adventure that pitted them against some of the evilest beings in Middle-earth. It seems that there will be a Lord of the Rings video game with the unlikeliest hero of all, as Gollum will be starring in his own upcoming title....
