Destiny 2 was released back in September of 2017 to positive critical reception. Critics praised the gameplay, the Leviathan Raid mechanic, and the story, which many considered vastly superior to its predecessor. But as you can imagine, Destiny 2 had quite the storied development. Great games don’t just come out of nowhere, and Bungie tends to put a lot of care, thought, and attention into the gaming worlds they create. As such, there are a lot of fantastic stories and interesting tidbits surrounding the development of the sequel to the first Destiny....

Video games can be bad for a variety of reasons: poor controls, unfair enemies and levels, ear drum piercing sound, terrible graphics, or any given combination of factors. Sometimes, games just don’t work or are programmed so poorly that they are literally unplayable. Usually, these games are rightfully ousted and end up in our nearest bargain bin buried under games of their like-designed ilk. However, with the rise of video game collecting and the popularity of the systems and games of collectors’ child hood years, some bad games have become extremely valuable....

The Assassin’s Creed franchise has had its fair share of ups and downs over the last few years after dominating for so long during the last console generation. Yearly releases following Assassin’s Creed II went well for a while before Assassin’s Creed III split the fan base. But it wasn’t all bad, as the Caribbean adventure of Assassin’s Creed IV brought a lot of fans back and it looked like the future was bright for Ubisoft’s biggest IP....

If you’re a gamer of a certain age, you’ll have discovered this industry during the pitched Mario-vs-Sonic battles of the nineties. What a darn first impression that would have made. It was a rough time, friends, there’s no denying it. Friendships were won and lost at recess, you were forbidden to join that game of tag, the cool crowd would disown you, all because you supported the wrong side. there was no question as loaded and controversial as “do you prefer Mario or Sonic?...

When you have a franchise that’s run as long as Dragon Ball, you’re bound to run into some continuity problems. In fact, every iteration of the Dragon Ball franchise, whether it’s an animated series, film, video game, or even the original manga itself, there’s a whole slew of inconsistencies. Whether these are born from Akira Toriyama and his staff being forgetful (and, considering the amount of years this franchise has existed, and the gargantuan amount of content within it, is quite understandable,) or they stem from the creators actively choosing to redefine specific elements, you will find retcons and broken continuity everywhere....

I, like many other Mega Man X fans, very much loved 20XX. The only thing that didn’t quite do it for me was the game’s visuals, which I wished were pixels instead of vector graphics. When 30XX was announced, my reaction was mixed. On one hand, it seemed a bit soon for a full sequel to a rogue-lite that was likely going feature the same run-and-gun feel. On the other, the new game will carry with it a completely different art style....

Games are evolving at an alarming rate. Over the past couple of decades, things like story-telling, graphics, and overall gameplay have improved to the point that no longer are we restrained by technology, and our imaginations can run wild with creative ideas. What seems to be happening in the current climate within the games industry is that they rely too heavily on yearly franchises and, more importantly, sequels upon sequels. Of course over the years we’ve had both great additions to an existing franchise that help out a story and it’s characters, while also adding welcome additions to an already solid foundation....

World of Warcraft is simply one of the most popular MMORPGs ever. In terms of updates and expansions, none can beat the level of hard work of WoW’s developer.

This A Discovery of Witches review contains spoilers. A Discovery of Witches Episode 1 This review comes from Den of Geek UK.

Activision’s beloved military first-person shooter is undoubtedly one of the big-hitters when it comes to sales each and every year. Not only does it sell like gangbusters, but it’s also a hugely profitable and recognizable game as a service that boasts one of the largest and most dedicated fanbases in the entire industry. Despite all this, a very surprising puzzle title has come out of nowhere and managed to outsell the US-based company’s latest behemoth so far this year — well, in Europe, at least....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare may be a game, but Activision isn’t playing when it comes to exposing upcoming content.
