For those of you who just can’t get enough of all things Mass Effect, and have already made your way through the three novels set in the game’s universe, we’ve got some good news. BioWare is teaming up with Dark Horse Comics to release a four-issue mini-series titled Mass Effect Evolution, centering around the head of the pro-human terrorist group Cerberus, the Illusive Man. The Illusive Man will be known to those who played through Mass Effect 2 as the clandestine mastermind in all things morally questionable, driven only by his desire to advance mankind on the intergalactic stage....

It goes without saying that EA’s Battlefield franchise will have an uphill battle. Analyst reports and shareholder reception were lukewarm when it came to Battlefield V. Still, that hasn’t stopped the company from trying to reinvigorate interest in their franchise — such as announcing that Battlefield 1’s Premium Pass will be given away for free. In many ways, EA and DICE are looking to remind fans — old and new — what Battlefield is all about....

Among many of the genres in gaming, shooting games are something that you as a gamer, might not want to miss. There’s a variety of shooting games out there from Battle Royale to Deathmatch and Fast-Paced to Survival. However, if you are having a hard time figuring out which game to play on your PC or Console, then this article is for you. We have scoured the internet and made a list of the 10 Best free-to-play Shooting games that you should try at least once....

There are a number of powerful weapons in Monster Hunter World that require the material Boulder Bone in order to craft them. This resource isn’t terribly hard to find if you know what you’re doing, but its rarity does force you to commit to a bit of grinding to obtain enough to build the various things that require it. If you want to cut down on the grind time or need to be pointed in the right direction to start farming Boulder Bone than this list will give you the best locations in the game to start your hunt....

RPGs are notoriously long, a characteristic that grows less-enticing as someone ages and time becomes more of a hot commodity. Dedicating months to Persona 5 or years to Skyrim definitely sounds tempting, but there are occasions when a shorter journey is more welcome. Considering “shorter” RPGs tend to require roughly 40 hours to complete, titles that deliver a comparable sense of scale while sticking to a brisk 15 to 25-hour runtime are in short supply....

People love to milk a popular franchise. Studios and publishers will continue to release sequels and spin-offs of a particular IP as long as fans keep buying them. While this decade saw its share of new series like Horizon: Zero Dawn and The Last of Us, plenty of well-established brands kept chugging along. Some even got more well known than ever. The following list will detail ten franchises with the most games put out this decade, including spin-offs that made their way to either consoles or handheld devices like the PS Vita or Nintendo DS....

A lot of gamers have subscribed to the Xbox Game Pass specifically to take advantage of the hotly anticipated arrival of Gears 5. And that’s more than understandable! Immediately gaining access to one of 2019’s biggest titles at launch alongside more than a hundred other games is a fantastic value. But while subscribers are busy blasting and chopping their way through Gears 5 with its naturally awesome arsenal of weapons, they might want to be careful not to overlook the treasure trove of great games they now have access to....

Back in 2016, Hitman fans were pleasantly surprised when the soft reboot arrived and delivered a new take on the series. The games have since focused upon making the maps come to life, with expansive missions available where you have hundreds of different choices to carry out contracts. Hitman 2 delivered almost exactly the same thing when it was released last year, making fans believe it might be time for the series to diversify once more....

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is one of the best Star Wars games in recent memory. From the characters and story to the exploration the game offers, it is a full experience for the player and is enjoyable in every one of these aspects. A big part of what the game offers is how the player progresses and gains XP. Leveling up allows for the player to earn further skills, upgrades, and abilities for protagonist Cal Kestis as the game develops....

We’ve come to an interesting point in the development of video game consoles. Currently, the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X battle it out for the best graphics, 4K gameplay and HDR settings. These enhanced versions of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can be viewed as a new generation within themselves, or at least a half-way house between this generation and the next. With more and more rumours circulating about the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Two, it seems we are closer than ever for the next powerhouse consoles to hit the market....

If there’s one thing standing between us gamers and good games, it’s game companies. Especially the so-called “AAA” ones that end up trying everything they can to make their cookie-cutter sequels and remakes seem different. Sometimes this leads to breathtaking innovations in gameplay. Too many times though, all we see are rehashes of formulas that have worked in not-so-similar situations, hoping to latch on to a previous success’s coattails. Sigh. Take any iteration of the Call of Duty games or the ever-saddening additions to the Assassin’s Creed series and you’ll know exactly what we mean....

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, or so they say. In some cases, one man’s nostalgia is his fortune. It is astounding how seemingly banal items that one might have collected for pennies would go on to be worth several hundred thousand dollars. Time truly is the greatest appreciator of all. And nothing has stood the test of time quite like Marvel Comics. Established in 1931 as Timely Comics, Marvel Comics truly emerged in 1961 to become a name now eponymous for great heroes and even greater tales....

Arguing about ratings in sports games is quite frankly pointless. Most games these days will allow you to edit a player’s rating if you aren’t satisfied and, in the end, the rest of the team’s stats will more than make up for any big discrepancies. Arguing about ratings in a game about professional wrestling, which is as much sports as it is soap opera, might seem even more futile. After all, in a discipline where endings are pre-determined, a wrestler will only be as good as WWE wants him or her to be....

Disney films are classics that many of us grew up with. From princes and princesses to talking animals and witches and pirates and fairies, Disney films were full of magic. As children, we enjoyed the stories—almost all of which are adaptations of fairy tales, or of other stories, like The Lion King, which is a rewriting of Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. As grown-ups, we learned to enjoy the beautiful soundtracks (and catchy songs) and artistry behind the animation....

The 1990s was a decade which yielded many innovations in gaming. It was the time in which games made the leap from sprite-based graphics to full 3D graphics. The introduction of discs instead of cartridges also meant games became much bigger and more detailed. It also marked the period in which arcade games began to decline in popularity as home consoles became more common and more affordable. These consoles included the Sega Genesis and later the Dreamcast, Nintendo’s Gameboy and N64 and the Sony PlayStation....

Movies about the end of time and the apocalypse have been popular for a while now, as mankind just can’t help but wonder how and when it is all going to end. And while there’s been some great movies to come from the concept, like Interstellar and 12 Monkeys, unfortunately, most of the time, the genre is responsible for some real stinkers – I’m looking at you Geostorm Just because a movie is bad, though, doesn’t mean that people won’t like turning their brains off and watching the mindless fun....

A survival crafting game set during the Fourth Age of Middle-earth is on the way. Announced during the Epic Games Store Summer Showcase event, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria allows up to eight players to explore the ancient kingdom of Khazad-dûm. There will be procedurally generated maps, crafting, base building elements, survival against enemies lurking in the mines, and the ability to uncover artifacts and jewels. Developed by North Beach Games and Free Range Games, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria has a release date of spring 2023....

Microsoft has super-glued a release date to Age of Empires: Definitive Edition, confirming the re-release of the 1997 command-’em-up will hit PC on February 20. The game was previously set to launch on October 19 last year to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the original game. The Definitive Edition of the title will benefit from a jaw-dropping 4K resolution makeover, as well as throwing in multiplayer support through Xbox Live and local LAN....

A technically advanced creature lies in stasis for many years; when it eventually awakens it doesn’t seem to know what it is… So lies the problem with Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron’s long awaited adaptation of Yukito Kishiro’s manga series – a good-looking, sprawling dystopian sci-fi that’s also a mawkish YA romance, which soars when it’s about cyborgs fighting other cyborgs and sinks when it comes to narrative drive and connection with the characters....
