When it released in 2013, Aliens: Colonial Marines was the video game version of snake oil. Hard-to-ignore faults plagued the version that wound up on store shelves. It looked awful, played poorly, and worst of all reduced Aliens‘ signature Xenomorph to an ineffective shell of an enemy. Five years later, Colonial Marines‘ AI is finally capable of putting up a fight. All it took was fixing a typo. A ResetEra poster called JigglesBunny posted a thread on Friday titled “Aliens: Colonial Marines AI fixed by a single letter....

Acer Aspire laptops started off as just casual laptops for personal or business uses back in 1999.

Apex Legends has just entered its 14th season of content since its release back in 2019. Much like fellow hero shooters like Overwatch, the battle royale has seen numerous shifts in character metas and team comps as each season goes by introducing nerfs or buffs to characters changing how they are played. With Season 14 in full swing, a new breakdown on Legend pick rates has given insight as to where each Legend stands, and here’s everything you need to know on all Legend pick rates in Apex Legends Season 14....

Just like the previous games in the series, Scarlet and Violet too, have Pokemon exclusive to them. And these Pokemon add to the age-old question of which version to buy, if you haven’t bought the game already. These Pokemon can affect your choice because you might want to add some of them to your team. So in this list check out all the version exclusives in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet....

As far as games that show off the artistic capability of the Kinect go, it’s rather hard to top Child of Eden. While the game might not necessarily have the flash or the mass-market appeal that something like Kinectimals might have, you would be hard pressed to find anyone who would doubt its originality. It’s been some time since the game was demonstrated to the public, but that doesn’t mean the thought of waving one’s hands around in a venerable symphony of visual effects and color isn’t in the back of gamers’ minds....

We brought you news of From Software’s new game ‘Project Dark’ last year, and are happy to be able to finally shed massive amounts of light on the mysterious project, now officially titled Dark Souls. Namco Bandai has released a huge gallery of screenshots as well as a trailer showcasing some gameplay from the upcoming title. Demon Souls, also developed by From Software, was notoriously difficult and Dark Souls looks to be no different....

Gears of War 3 is easily the most anticipated Xbox 360 exclusive title to be released this year. Over a million gamers participated during the multiplayer beta in the four weeks leading up to May 15, 2011 - and pre-orders for the game have already exceeded 1 million, making it the fastest selling Xbox 360 pre-order to date. Epic Games doesn’t just have big plans for the title, but also the way they’re going to let gamers know about their Gears of War 3....

After taking a long time off, the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance series has returned with its third installment; Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. The game follows a familiar story that fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will easily recognize. However, the array of heroes teaming up against Thanos is much more extensive than in Avengers: Infinity War or Endgame. Although there is such an extensive cast, there are some members of the Marvel Universe that weren’t included in the game....

Everything is better with a buddy, which is why numerous games strive to include some form of multiplayer. Even before the days of ubiquitous online options, the ability to play locally with friends was highly sought after. While most multiplayer options were advertised on a game’s box or in the press hyping up its release, other titles hid it away inside the disc, just like the ten games below. Some of these were full-fledged offerings accessible from the beginning, while others had to be unlocked by either beating the game or meeting some other criteria....

Indivisible has been out for a couple of weeks now, but there are still a lot of factors to the game that are being discovered. What exactly turns the damage numbers from white to gold? Why exactly do the Bond Levels influence? Where are all the hidden bosses? Indivisible is a pretty chunky game to be coming from an indie company after all. There are 20 characters to collect, 7 zones with incredibly complex maps, 108 different upgrade materials to collect (that we know of), and about 10-15 different platforming abilities....

Video game characters come in different shapes and sizes and have varying motives. Upon closer examination, we can see that video game protagonists are dynamic and changing throughout the stories they headline. Today, video games have more depth and their characters do as well. This list doesn’t attempt to smear our favorite video game heroes and heroines but offers another viewpoint of them. Sometimes, to keep video game characters honest, we have to analyze their behaviors....

Video games and movies do not have a harmonious relationship. For as long as tie-in games have been a thing, movie video games have mostly been eviscerated by critics and audiences alike. Yeah, some turn out surprisingly well, but for the most part, movie-based video games belong nowhere but the bargain bin at Walmart. Or the garbage. Most of them are cheaply made and hastily thrown together in order to coincide with the movie, and as such, they play and look like absolute…again, garbage comes to mind....

Skyrim is going to go down as one of the most culturally important video games of all time. Diehard fans of The Elder Scrolls series will scoff and disagree, claiming that Morrowind or Oblivion make for better games. And while this is certainly up for debate and there’s some truth to their claims, Skyrim remains the most popular, most played, and most sold. Since 11/11/11, gamers have been putting hundreds, if not thousands, of hours into their characters, with some making multiple characters to play through the stories all over again....

NieR Replicant is finally coming to PC, and it wouldn’t be NieR if it didn’t have something decidedly strange about it. The game was announced during the 10-year anniversary livestream and later on Twitter. However, rather than simply call it a remaster, Square Enix has decided to name it NieR Replicant ver. 1.22474487139… Yes, that is the full name, ellipsis and all. The cult-classic is coming to Steam (and other current-gen consoles), but a release date or price has yet to be determined....

“Games as a Service” refers to games that have some sort of ongoing component past their release, either through updates or other online features. There are plenty of good reasons for it, such as allowing a game to be free-to-play or keeping interest up, but generally Games as a Service is a trend to be wary of, since it is ultimately the opposite of games as a product – games that players can buy and own for themselves....

Animated series are a polarizing figure in pop culture — some people find it to be useless drivel that is meant to be nothing more than your run-of-the-mill timesink, and nothing else. However, there’s an alternate spectrum of people who absolutely love how animation allows mediums of entertainment to truly go beyond the realm of the possible and provide us with unique, comedic, dark, light-hearted, sad, and jubilant moments — and trust me when I tell you that that’s just the icing on the cake when it comes to the whole host of emotions and feelings that animation can make you experience if you truly are invested in it....

Rhythm games were all the rage for a few years around a decade ago. Among the crowded field were two titans hovering above the rest, Guitar Hero and Rock Band. The former kick started the music game revolution, and the latter came in right at its peak. Debates raged as to which one was better. Now that the dust has settled, let’s try and take a more objective look at the two, pointing out five things Guitar Hero does better than Rock Band, and five things at which the latter is superior....
