That’s where Dell’s Experience and Innovation group comes in. This year, Alienware is presenting a prototype device that could make a marked impact on PC gaming: the Concept UFO. It doesn’t actually fly, but it could take PC gaming to the next level....

Chai is a memorable and unique character in Hi-Fi Rush, paired with his mighty cat companion, but so are the game’s main villains! Obviously insane, self-absorbed, and delusional, the bosses in Hi-Fi Rush make fascinating characters. One of the game’s highlights is the boss battles that occur at the end of each stage, each representing a different corporation division, and their levels are based on a particular musical style. Here we’ll take a closer look at All Bosses in Hi-Fi Rush, listed alongside their abilities and some tips for defeating them....

Elden Ring features a plethora of different types of weapons to equip across the Lands Between. If you prefer a Strength focussed class, you might want to have Colossal weapons in your inventory. Unlike Colossal swords, the weapons have a different moveset and damage pool. But due to their similarities, several players are confused between them both. Not to worry, we have compiled a list of all these weapons. So, check out our list of all the Colossal weapons in Elden Ring....

Developed by Gameloft and published by Ubisoft, Asphalt 3D promises avid racing fans everywhere “thrilling racing with stereoscopic 3D technology.” As one of two racing games that launched with the Nintendo 3DS, the latest Asphalt was expected to be a somewhat legit racing game. Unfortunately, Asphalt 3D just isn’t the game that anyone expected or wanted from the series. Asphalt fails to deliver on pretty much every front imaginable and even a few fronts that you didn’t know about....

You’ve already heard the news on the massive sales that games like Black Ops and Halo: Reach enjoyed within their first week, nevermind their first day. While Ubisoft didn’t quite reach those numbers with the recent release of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, the game was the most successful game in the franchise so far. As a thank you to all of their fans who picked up the game to show their support for the development team’s expansion into new gaming territory, Ubisoft has announced that the first DLC offering wil be available to all customers free of charge....

A new month is upon us and the latest batch of PS Plus Essential free games is set to be launched soon.

Earlier this month, Riot Games returned to Iceland’s capital, Reykjavík, as a venue for its inaugural LAN esports event of the year, Valorant Masters Stage 1. The competition saw 12 teams from around the globe showdown in a double-elimination tournament to crown a winner and earn the lion’s share of a $650,000 prize pool. Yesterday evening, during a grand final watched by over 1 million people, North America’s Optic Gaming beat out Brazil’s Loud to earn that accolade, becoming the second team from the region to lift the trophy after last year’s winner, Sentinels....

When game consoles first developed, game designers naturally made them in two dimensions. Memory and graphics were too limited to handle fully three-dimensional games, so most early games utilized one or another perspective to create a two-dimensional world. Over time, these games developed a high level of sophistication in terms of action, story, and engagement. This was the golden age of Metroidvania games, which built an intricate, detailed game experience around a 2D scrolling game experience....

Red Dead Redemption 2 has earned its place as one of the most ambitious open-world video games ever made, but exploring its dark and dangerous world can get a little lonely — which is why the game’s multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online, is such a breath of fresh air. Whether you’re facing off against friends in one of the game’s many competitive challenges or collaborating on a co-op mission, RDR2’s online mode is a natural successor to the game’s epic story and open world....

One aspect of Discord that makes it fun is the integration of Bots into a Server. Bots make life on a Discord Server so easy you question yourself if other Social Platforms would integrate this feature. So much can be done like playing music, handling admin tasks, playing games, learning new stuff, and the list goes on....

When one talks about some of the most popular and timeless games of all time, then it pretty much goes without saying that Final Fantasy VII is definitely one of the many landmark titles that will come to the minds of anyone even remotely familiar with the history of gaming. It’s easy to see why this is the case — after all, the fact of the matter is that the entire JRPG craze might not even have taken over gaming as we know it had it not been for the release of this landmark title....

Souls-like games have become a hit over the past few years. We can all agree that we can’t get enough. 2019 has started strong with the release of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, but there’s one new Souls-like RPG that you might have missed. Nine Dots’ Outward is an ode to hardcore games, featuring everything you love about games like Dark Souls and Nioh in a vast open world. In fact, there are certain things that Outward does better than Dark Souls and we’d want it to become a pioneer for the genre in the future....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. This feature contains mild spoilers for all the family films discussed, so if you haven’t seen one then proceed with caution. Some family-friendly films come from the least expected sources. From Steven Spielberg to Robert Zemeckis, there are a fair few filmmakers whose output spans from grown-up films to G and PG-rated movies, but in the main, directors tend to become attached to films for similar demographics to their previous work....

Now now, before you become upset and accuse me of being a Modern Warfare 2 hater, hear me out. I love the Call of Duty franchise, and have been playing them since the first game on the PC. That being said, the high price of the new map pack ($15) has caused a little bit of an uproar in the gaming community. I definitely agree that the price of the content is a little too high, and sadly have the feeling that Activision and good old Bobby Kotick are gouging us on the price because they know we’re going to buy it anyways....

There are tons of driving and racing games out there. However, most of them have an arcade feel: fast-paced, forgiving, and using only the bare minimum level of physics. These games were made to be fun and little more. But on the other end of the spectrum, we have simulators. These are games built from the ground up to offer a realistic portrayal of driving. Whether you’re hurtling down a hill in a Subaru or cruising the European countryside in a large truck, these 10 driving sims are perfect examples of games that try to be as realistic as possible....

Reviews are easy to write. Good reviews are hard to write. This self-evident dilemma has led to a penchant for over-analyzing, both from fans and critics alike; giving too much praise is pandering, too little is clickbait, and middling is cowardice, and that’s even before you consider all the gaming clichés that color how a reviewer might perceive a game before they even go in. Long-standing, critically-acclaimed series are often showered with praise despite not really doing much, while certain developers or publishers are anathema and probably hopeless from the start....

People love to make characters. For some, making a character is one of the most fun parts of a game. It is like playing dress-up except you can change your skin, hair, eyes, ears, and nose like a shapeshifter. The most common games to have character customization is role-playing games. This is because customizing a character is all part of the fun of role-playing. You get to decide their gender, race, height, and so much more before being thrown into an adventure....

Fallout 3 was Bethesda’s first attempt at bringing the established IP to life. They knew that PC gamers had high expectations. Lifelong Fallout fans expected the same quality storylines but knew that the gameplay would essentially change. Bethesda did their best to not only make PC gamers happy but also make the franchise more accessible to console players who never heard of the game. Bethesda successfully brought the isometric series into both first and third person....
