“Gaming is coming home” to Leipzig, Germany, according to a teaser website discovered last night. The mysterious new site suggests that a new gaming event may be due to take place at the Leipziger Messe, the home of Leipzig Games Convention prior to Gamescom’s arrival in Cologne. Whether it’s a major games convention like Gamescom, however, remains unclear. Clues on the site hint at some sort of eSports event, with the organisers encouraging users to tweet using the hashtag ‘DontcallitLAN’....

Madden 23 revealed its next round of Team Of The Week (TOTW) players today at 10:30AM ET on ‘Good Morning Madden’. This brand new drop will be available in Madden 23 later today. Several players, unsurprisingly, produced big performances over Week 5. However, only ten players can be selected for each TOTW, which include two Champions that predominantly (if not always) consist of former players. So many great games took place over Week 5....

Warzone Season 5 and Call of Duty Vanguard are both getting a mid-season update today (September 28) – both are now LIVE. This is the last Warzone update before Warzone 2.0 launches – and for Vanguard, a final send off for a game that unfortunately did not live up to expectations. It’ll be replaced by Modern Warfare 2, a game that’s just finished its inaugural beta weekend – and it went down a storm with fans....

With the highly anticipated release of the new iteration of the Mortal Kombat series almost upon us, the illustrious fighting series has been the talk of gamers the world over. Whether they’re discussing the rumors that Green Lantern may be included in the Xbox 360 version of the game, the fact that two of the series’ most iconic bosses, Goro and Shao Khan will not be playable, or just marveling over the finalized character designs, Mortal Kombat has quickly become a focal point in the gaming world....

What can be said about the Sonic the Hedgehog series? The franchise, despite being not as good as it once was, is still considered to be one of the premier gaming series in existence. Sonic has retained his popularity since the end of the Sega Dreamcast based purely on how good the older games were. Evidence of this popularity has appeared in the news that a fan film about Sonic is being made....

Fans of BioWare’s upcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic can officially start preparing for the game with its pre-launch guild program. Sure, fans have been able to watch various trailers about different classes featured in the game and have seen video showing off character creation, but that all just amounts to passive preparation – fans imagining what they will do and what class they will choose when the game launches....

As many Marvel vs. Capcom fans know, there is a slight difference in roster size from Marvel vs. Capcom 2 to Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. The second series installment came loaded with a massive roster of 56 playable characters, while Marvel vs Capcom 3 tops off at a character count of 38 (including the two downloadable MvC3 characters). For those bad at math, that’s an 18 count difference in characters....

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is big news. Destiny 2 on Steam is big news. Bungie leaving Activision was big news. What goes well with big news and trending topics? Fresh, new memes. These memes take the pain away of server kicks, endless grinding, Crucible losses and the hunt for Exotics. Nothing is off the table this time around. Crashing servers, weales and baboons, overpowered guns, and industry shade are included in this batch of memes....

It’s nearly a sure thing that every great artist loves movies, and for the most part, the better their taste the more profound the art. Enter Hideo Kojima, one of the most creative and deranged minds in all of gaming, so it’s no surprise that the man became that way through the eclectic films he grew up watching. Kojima’s favorites range from David Lynch’s bizarre catalog all the way to blockbuster hits like James Cameron’s Titanic....

Ah, alcohol and video games. A beautiful, symbiotic relationship rivaled perhaps only by the co-dependance of the shark and modest remora fish. These two amazing commodities combine together best when paired with Nintendo’s long-winding lineup of amazing party games, which house drinking games ranging from casual get together to raging house party. And sure, we all know Beerio Kart, but what other Nintendo titles hide awesome drinking games deeps in the depths of their couch co-op gameplay?...

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a popular open world RPG for good reason. With a rich story behind it, characters you’ll love, a great combat system with magic, and some amazing story elements, it has something for everyone. However, it can be a bit tricky to get a hang of the game in some aspects and especially if you want to play on a harder mode. If you read these tips and follow them, we promise, you’ll find that the game is a little easier than stumbling in blind....

The gaming community is full of intense and competitive games like Overwatch, Apex Legends, and Rocket League that demand great skill and concentration. With so much emphasis placed on those games as well as esports in general, it’s a good idea to find a game where you can sit back, relax, and just have a good time. If you need a break from the intense games you regularly play, then check out our 10 picks for relaxing games to play on your computer....

It only took Nintendo an entire year to give fans Super Nintendo games, but they finally did it. To the surprise of just about everyone, they even managed to do a relatively decent job after the utter disaster that was NSO’s lackluster NES selection. With plenty of classics to choose from, NSO’s SNES app is off to a good start. But it’s not perfect. Like with the SNES Classic, there are glaring omissions to Nintendo’s catalog....

Divinity: Original Sin 2 proved to be a worthy successor to the quirky D&D-esque first game and has certainly created a compelling world full of colorful characters with their own cartoonish charm. A couple of years down the road, however, some of the game’s cracks have become more apparent. That isn’t to say that the game is unpolished as heck, but after the Nth playthrough, one is bound to notice some logical inconsistencies both with the gameplay and the world-building....

Super Smash Bros. is without a doubt one of the most influential fighting game series of all time. Although it isn’t a traditional fighting game like Street Fighter or Tekken, Super Smash Bros. has been a staple of the fighting game community since the early years of the franchise. It broke the mold of what a fighting game could be and left an entire subgenre of fighting games in its wake....

The holiday gaming season is still well underway and several retailers are still offering amazing deals on video games, consoles, and gaming accessories. Now, players on the PC would be happy to know that Green Man Gaming’s Winter Sale is still available right now, and prices of several of 2019’s biggest PC games are discounted for a cheaper price. However, it appears that the savings don’t stop there, given that the retailer is offering an additional discount on top of its current deals....

In the world of video games, bosses aren’t the kind of annoying authority figures that’ll give you a last minute report to do or ask you to work late on a Friday. No, these bosses would rather take that report, roll it up into a ball, set fire to it, and throw it at your face. The end level boss is almost as old as video gaming itself, and many genres have some form of superior foes awaiting you at the end of a level, area, or mission....

Fallout 4 is the latest numbered installment of the franchise. Bethesda focused more on improving the animations and gameplay of their older games. Fans have criticized the lack of role-playing with the predetermined backgrounds of the protagonists, Nate and Nora. After playing Fallout 4, fans quickly realized that the main campaign is short. Some fans became so uninterested in the search for baby Shaun that they avoided it entirely. After all, you’re not punished for taking your time to find the Institute....

2018 has felt like an end product of this current generation’s insistence on catering to nostalgia. Regardless of medium, but especially for video games and film, there has never been a better time to push old IPs, reviving them for a new audience or an audience desperately craving more. With that in mind, we’re getting more sequels than ever. For every original video game we got in 2018, we got two or three sequels to pre-existing IPs....

With another new year comes more anime to watch as they get released month after month. 2021 gave us a great selection of shows across several genres, and here are the brand-new anime that you should be looking forward to in 2022. Of course, new seasons of popular shows like Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, Kaguya-Sama, and more are on the way (or already underway), but this list won’t be mentioning any already established hits....
