With less than five days until the launch of Destiny’s The Dark Below expansion, most expected that this week’s Bungie Weekly Update would be a big one. However, most of the pertinent details regarding that forthcoming DLC have already come to light, meaning any big reveals were unlikely to be a part of the regular developer post. That being said, the Bungie Weekly Update did provide another useful avenue for the developer to address gamer concerns....

Destiny’s Age of Triumph is currently taking players through an up-to-date greatest hits of the game, and part of this is a somewhat formidable 390 Light difficulty run of the King’s Fall raid. So far, this has been proving a very fun challenge for users to take part it, but one user has been attempting to beat the raid solo - and at least having a modicum of success too....

A group of seriously dedicated Destiny players decide to take on the action-MMO’s Challenge of the Elders mode and go on to beat it in under 4 minutes. While some Destiny fans may need help to beat the Challenge of Elders, the delightfully named Redditor Hacksaw_Jim_Duggan and his fireteam of would-be Guardians can hold their own without any additional assistance in the PvE contest. As a matter of fact, the group works so well together that they went on to absolutely demolish the recently added mode from the game’s April Update 2....

The first Mythical Pokemon that is coming to Pokemon Sword & Shield has a fancy alternate version, as a cape-wearing Zarude will be distributed to people who go to see the upcoming Pokemon movie in Japan. Mythical Pokemon are defined by the fact that they can’t be found through conventional means in their own games. Instead, players have to visit real-life events or download them during events. This started with Mew in Pokemon Red & Blue, who wasn’t hiding under the truck like the Internet told you....

Netflix’s The Witcher season two is certainly going to expand the universe, bringing familiar faces from CD Projekt Red’s widely known projects. One of the fresh additions to the series is Redanian sorceress Philippa Eilhart. According to the recent intel, actress Cassie Claire will bring this character to life, yet her role in the upcoming season isn’t expected to be of great significance. The Witcher universe is filled to the brim with characters of all sorts thanks to the original source by writer Andrzej Sapkowski....

Cobra Kai finds itself among television’s upper echelon with today’s 2021 Emmy nominations announcement, which named Season 3 as a nominee for Outstanding Comedy Series. The series, a long-awaited sequel to The Karate Kid films, has seen its popularity increase exponentially after a migration from YouTube Premium to Netflix, on which the nominated season premiered. It’s quite the achievement when remembering the show’s less-than-auspicious 2018 launch. The Emmy nominations highlight a second pandemic-altered year for the industry, further cementing the notion that the overwhelming majority of television’s heavy hitters now reside in the realm of streaming rather than the airwaves....

Eddie Murphy’s Prince Akeem left his prospective queen to go to America in Coming to America. And he didn’t even have the good grace to leave her at the altar either. Rather she was dismissed while still barking like a dog (under the prince’s orders). The princess and her brother, General Izzi (Wesley Snipes) never forgot. And in Coming 2 America, he’s prepared to go to war over it. Snipes may be most beloved to certain audiences as the half-vampire martial arts master in the Blade superhero movies....

GamesCom proved to be a boon for the Xbox One console, showing off impressive demos for many upcoming exclusive games that skipped E3 like Quantum Break and Scalebound. Crackdown 3 in particular wowed the audience with its first ever gameplay demo allowing players to completely demolish the city through destruction provided by the power of Azure cloud computing technology. So now that Microsoft has become more PC focused again, after the recent launch of Windows 10, can gamers expect to see future Xbox One games like Crackdown 3 on the PC?...

In 2017, Activision released Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, which remade the Naughty Dog Crash Bandicoot games with vastly improved visuals and new gameplay features. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy was a hit with critics and fans alike, earning strong reviews at the time of its release and selling over 10 million units. The success of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy proved that there was still a sizable audience for the classic platforming series, convincing Activision to give the greenlight to Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, which is pretty much exactly what fans would want from a new game in the series....

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has earned a reputation as being a hard game, especially for a kart racer. However, there are ways that Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled players can make things a lot easier on themselves, with one of the most important skills to learn being how to use drifts to power slide and get a speed boost. For those wondering how to drift in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, it’s a little different than how drifting works in other kart racers like Mario Kart....

Earlier this week on the official Crash Bandicoot Facebook page, the cover photo was updated with a picture of a very simple checkerboard pattern which, while rather unassuming at first sight, matches the background of Crash Team Racing’s main menu screen. Not only that, but also PlayStation Access presenter Holly Bennett uploaded a photo to the Twitter page of a pair of orange, fuzzy dice, alongside a message that reads “Sliding into the Game Awards on 6/12....

A Crytek engineer says that the PS5 is the better console while the Xbox Series X will have “bottlenecks.” On paper, the Xbox Series X is the superior machine. It has a faster CPU clock speed and a more powerful GPU, with 12 TFLOPs of computation power compared to the PS5’s 10.3 TFLOPs. However, TFLOPs aren’t everything. Crytek graphics engineer Ali Salehi recently sat down for an interview with Persian gaming site Vigiato to discuss the differences between programming for the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X, and of the two next-gen consoles, he says he prefers the PS5....

Customization is the name of the game for most people. From keyboards and mice to facemasks, the ability to change the color of your gaming equipment is quickly becoming standard fare for most manufacturers. While the console itself is the biggest target for customization, the DualSense controllers are also ripe for some splashes of color. Unless something happens, you can now buy custom faceplates for your PS5 controller for just $10....

While Dark Souls focuses more on action elements than proper role-playing, the franchise still has a plethora of quests and items for players to uncover. Multiple NPCs can be found throughout the world that the player can assist or kill. While there aren’t branching dialogue paths or any extreme RPG mechanics at play, these quests offer some of the most memorable experiences in the franchise. This is certainly true for Dark Souls 3....

After the reveal of the Dark Souls: Remastered’s developer, players have been eagerly waiting what was coming next from the duo of Virtuos and Bandai Namco. Players have to wait no more, as a new gameplay trailer from Dark Souls: Remastered has released. Check out the trailer below: This is the first gameplay trailer for the remastered version of Dark Souls and it looks just as brutal as it did when the game originally released in 2011....

Not many video games manage to be more difficult and more stressful than the Souls franchise from From Software. That’s why Darkest Dungeon was a dark masterpiece whose impact in the gaming community resonates to this day. It’s hard to find gamers who have played it who don’t have any nightmares or PTSD about its gameplay. Still, thanks to the PC modding community, you can soften the Darkest Dungeon’s blow to your sanity by “adjusting” certain aspects of the game....

Imagine a post-apocalyptic game with an unwieldy, cumbersome control system where you take the role of a former outlaw biker, which makes your life depends on your bike, and before you know it, you’re either out of fuel, get shot by an unseen sniper, or get chased by a Horde of zombies? That’s Days Gone in a nutshell for you. Hordes are massive-gatherings of hundreds of zombies (Freakers), and it can be frustrating for players to deal with them....

With the SoulsBorne series of games entrenched as quality in players’ minds, everyone is going nuts over the Demon’s Souls remake. A lot has changed, and the devs are even considering adding an easy mode, but until they do the game is still a serious challenge. As expected of the first game in the Souls series, there are some serious and seriously memorable bosses in the Demon’s Souls remake. One of the most memorable is the Tower Knight, which many players are facing for the first time in the remake....

FromSoftware has built up a reputation through their brutally hard games. Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro have all captivated audiences by highlighting a degree of challenge that’s frankly unseen in modern gaming. As popular as these titles are, they owe their reputation to Demon’s Souls – a PS3 cult classic that’s since evolved into a juggernaut franchise. Launching alongside the PS5, BluePoint Games’ remake of Demon’s Souls has given audiences a modern update while keeping the core of the original gameplay intact....

Pinnacle weapons were some of the most sought-after weapons in Destiny 2 during Year 2. From Breackneck’s rate of fire buff to Luna’s Howl’s low time-to-kill in PvP, Pinnacles found a way to spice up the PvE and PvP sandbox time and time again. Bungie, unfortunately, retired the concept when Shadowkeep released. The weapons still reigned over the sandbox, however, and are likely the reason gear sunsetting is being introduced in Beyond Light....
