Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands (a D&D-inspired RPG spin-off of the Borderlands franchise) is shaping up to be one of the most entertaining shooters of the year. Actually, if the exceptional Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep DLC this game is clearly based on is any indication, this could just be one of the best Borderlands games

Kirby and the Forgotten Land may not be a fully open-world game, but it’s undoubtedly the biggest Kirby game yet in many of the ways that matter most. Of course, that just means that you’ll want to start exploring the game as soon as it is unlocked on March 25th. Anyone familiar with the release

This article contains light spoilers for Halo episode 1. Ever since Halo: Combat Evolved arrived on Microsoft gaming console Xbox in 2001, the first-person shooter series and multimedia franchise has been represented by one character above all others. John-117 or “Master Chief” is the perfect video game protagonist. Stoic, powerful, and visually iconic, the Spartan

This Halo article contains spoilers. Although the Halo TV series puts it front and center for the first time, the planet Madrigal has in fact appeared in franchise lore before. Although its two big appearances take place in separate continuities, with the TV show’s “Silver timeline” opening up new storytelling possibilities, Madrigal is basically the

While there are times when I wish Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was closer to the classic role-playing game that it often styles itself as, the looter shooter’s use of background stories during the character creation process makes the most out of a classic RPG mechanic. Your background story in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands not only adds a

You may think that the PC version of Elden Ring‘s bugs and performance issues make it the worst version of the game, but fans are quickly discovering that it’s hard to ignore the appeal of Elden Ring‘s best mods. Thanks to sites such as Nexus Mods, players can download and install fanmade programs and additions

Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation following accusations of harassment, discrimination, and fostering a hostile work environment. You can read more about the investigation here. Call of Duty: Warzone‘s surprising (but much-needed) Season 2 Reloaded update includes quite a few weapon additions, buffs, and nerfs that once again have players scrambling to find the absolute best

I love “so bad, they’re good” movies. From canonical classics like Plan 9 From Outer Space and The Room to deeply flawed gems like Miami Connection and Samurai Cop, the best “so bad, they’re good” movies are more than simple guilty pleasures. As that designation suggests, they’re movies that make it genuinely hard to answer

CD Projekt RED recently confirmed that their legendary Witcher game franchise will continue. That announcement should have resulted in an avalanche of praise and eager speculation, but instead, the general reaction has been decidedly mixed. Gamers have been going back and forth about whether CD Projekt RED would (or even should) revisit the Witcher world

As its name suggests, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 ($1,199/£1,399) is designed to provide a leaner and lighter experience than most gaming laptops, and it immediately impresses with an 19mm-thick frame and a weight of 4.1 pounds. That’s 8mm slimmer and more than a pound lighter

Ghostwire: Tokyo isn’t just developer Tango Gameworks’ long-awaited return to the horror genre after 2017’s underrated The Evil Within 2; it’s a pretty great excuse to check out some of the greatest J-horror movies ever made. While Japanese horror films enjoyed a global “boom period” in the late ’90s and early 2000s (and we’ll certainly

The “next-gen” versions of GTA 5 and GTA Online are finally here, which means that it’s time for millions of GTA fans to make the move to new consoles and enjoy the many performance benefits they offer. Unless you’re looking to start fresh on your new console, though, then you will need to find a

Elden Ring‘s massive 1.03 update includes quite a few buffs, nerfs, QOL updates, and performance improvements, but one of the update’s most exciting features is the addition of a new NPC known as Jar-Bairn. As it turns out, that new NPC also offers a new questline that helps solve quite a few Elden Ring mysteries.

There’s no denying that Elden Ring is a hit. According to Bandai Namco, the game has sold over 12 million copies so far, and the title’s critical acclaim really speaks for itself. The only thing more obvious than Elden Ring‘s success is the fact that everyone sees it as the start of gaming’s next big

Even though Elden Ring is a very polished title, the game didn’t ship in a state that completely satisfied its developers. The team at FromSoftware has been hard at work improving and balancing the experience, and the most recent attempt has revitalized several weapons that were victims of a coding oversight. Update 1.03 is full

The iiyama G-Master GB3266QSU monitor (£366) combines a large 32-inch screen with a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution and a high-contrast VA panel. The end result should be ideal for up-close gaming and desktop use, as well as sitting back and enjoying fantastic-looking video and games.  When

WWE 2K has been a bizarre franchise up until this point. As the WWE games series went from SmackDown to SmackDown vs. Raw to WWE 2K, the titles themselves gradually morphed into a chaotic attempt by their various developers to keep building on the foundation just enough to keep players interested year after year. When

Elden Ring‘s massive 1.03 update features more confirmed changes and additional content than many people were expecting to find in the patch notes, but it’s actually the update’s hidden (or “secret”) changes that have a lot of fans buzzing at the moment. While it’s not unusual for a major update to feature a few changes

While it’s entirely possible to play through Elden Ring and not even realize that the game’s massive world contains nine Legendary weapons, anyone interested in earning every Elden Ring achievement will need to hunt those weapons down at some point. Much like Elden Ring‘s collection of Legendary spells, the game’s Legendary weapons are rarely as

Not everyone has the means to own multiple gaming platforms at once (which is honestly the leading contributor to the sales race commonly known as the “console wars“), so most of us end up having to make a pretty difficult choice between our next-gen console options. While the powerful PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X

WWE games are best known for their massive rosters (and, occasionally, their hilarious glitches). After all, countless fans tune in to live wrestling shows every week to watch wrestlers grapple and slap each other silly, and since each competitor adopts a different style and gimmick, viewers naturally gravitate towards their favorites. Thanks to WWE titles,

While Elden Ring doesn’t feature the kind of item rarity system seen in RPGs like Diablo or World of Warcraft, the game does feature a “Legendary” tag used to distinguish notable weapons, summons, talismans, and, for our purposes today, spells and sorceries. You probably assume that Elden Ring‘s Legendary sorceries have to be among the

While we haven’t been able to spend quite enough time with WWE 2K22 to fairly share something closer to a full verdict on the overall game, it is safe to say that it is absolutely the best WWE game in the last few years from a technical and gameplay perspective. Admittedly, that’s a pretty low

Elden Ring is yet another entry in FromSoftware’s ever-growing library of successful Soulsborne titles (not a bad thing, mind you), but unlike the company’s previous works, this one features a world created by George R.R. Martin. At least that’s what the game’s announcement trailer claims. Even though Martin certainly took part in Elden Ring‘s development

There have always been great sci-fi games. But in the last 15 years, we’ve gone from wondering what it would be like to be able to play the kind of grand sci-fi adventures we’ve seen in movies, TV shows, and books to actually playing things that now can’t be replicated in any other medium. Yes,

Like many MMOs, Lost Ark features a glut of currencies. You’ve got Silver, Gold, Crystals, Pirate Coins, and, most recently, Coins of Courage. However, since Coins of Courage are such a recent addition, most players are left scratching their heads over this new digital tender. That being the case, here’s everything you really need to

This article contains spoilers for Elden Ring. While Elden Ring clearly separates itself from other FromSoftware titles through its massive open-world filled with adventures and secrets, the game does feature that same brand of obtuse storytelling and complicated lore that helped make FromSoftware’s other titles (most notably the Dark Souls series) famous. That also means

Elden Ring may not feature a traditional “Easy Mode” option (despite increasingly louder calls for FromSoftware games to offer optional difficulty settings), but by choosing to play the game using one of the simply broken character builds that players have discovered so far, you will almost certainly be able to beat the game with relative

Elden Ring is already shaping up to be FromSoftware’s most successful title to date. The game has sold like hotcakes (so much so that Bandai Namco gave employees a pay raise), and hundreds of thousands of Twitch viewers are regularly tuning in to watch other people play the game. However, not everyone is happy with
