The Modern Warfare series tells a dark tale about the world being thrust into a new global conflict. Despite the dramatic plot, fans have found the humor inside it and conveyed this through memes. The ten memes below are so funny, they will make anyone forget the game is about a fictional world war. Some consider it tasteless to crack wise about a game where thousands upon thousands of people die, but the games are ultimately fictitious....

This article contains nothing but Jessica Jones Season 2 spoilers. At this point, do I even need to explain these articles anymore? I do? OK, fine. I love superhero comics, perhaps a little too much, as you can probably tell based on what I do for a living. As a result, it’s not enough for me to just watch and enjoy a Marvel Netflix show like Jessica Jones Season 2. Nooooo…I must study every frame in the hopes of unlocking some piece of Marvel wisdom that would otherwise be lost to the ages or some such nonsense....

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 & 2.5 HD ReMIX is due out in under a month, and anticipation is rising for the collection of games that the compilation features. A new video released by Square Enix a few days ago showed that playing catch up won’t mean having to suffer through extremely dated graphics, however - the remastered versions of the game look exceptional, and it appears that Kingdom Hearts 1.5 & 2....

After the massive amount of new information revealed for Kingdom Hearts 3 at the Tokyo Game Show last month, including the first footage of the long-awaited Big Hero 6, news about the Square Enix/Disney crossover RPG has slowed to a crawl. Fans hungry for some new details, however, can enjoy some quite recent leaks from the next issue of V-Jump Magazine. Twitter user YonkouProductions was able to upload a screenshot of one of the pages from the magazine and while it doesn’t show off anything groundbreaking, it does provide some nice extra info regarding the Hercules world....

The Game Awards kicked off on Thursday evening with several world premieres featuring upcoming, high profile titles. One cinematic trailer showed off Back 4 Blood—a 4-player co-op zombie killing game and spiritual successor to Valve’s popular Left 4 Dead franchise, but Turtle Rock Studios head Chris Ashton had a second, special surprise for Back 4 Blood fans. Ashton joined The Game Awards host, Geoff Keighley on stage (at a safe social distance) to drop a meaty gameplay reveal trailer for the upcoming zombie survival horror title....

Warner Bros. Interactive, TT Games, and The LEGO Group announce that Minecraft-esque building sim LEGO Worlds is going to be receiving online multiplayer. With Minecraft becoming an all-powerful creativity behemoth, it was no surprise to see its real world predecessor taking the move into video games with a similar idea. Enter LEGO Worlds, The LEGO Group’s attempt to break the Minecraft racket. Debuting last year through an initial trailer, the early access title from TT Games and Warner Bros....

Paul Thomas Anderson is commonly regarded as one of the great American filmmakers from the last 25 years (and yes, it’s hard to believe Hard Eight came out a quarter century ago). Yet his last two or three features–Phantom Thread, Inherent Vice, and The Master–worked strenuously to push viewers away. They brought us an array of characters who, despite great performances from all involved, and Anderson’s own usual immaculate attention to detail, were increasingly isolated from viewers....

Heart Pieces are a critical resource for helping Link survive the dangers of Link’s Awakening. With every four Heart Pieces he receives a permanent Heart on his health bar. Considering there are 32 Heart Pieces that means a total of eight permanent Hearts. That being said, finding all 32 Heart Pieces can be tricky as they’re scattered across the map and tucked into places that are difficult to find and difficult to reach....

Heart Pieces in The Legend of Zelda games have been a staple reward since the very first title, with each new Heart Container allowing Link to attempt more difficult battles with greater ease and destroy the evil Ganon once and for all. Or, at the very least, until he is inevitably resurrected in the next game. While Link’s Awakening steers clear of many common aspects of the Zelda series, such as the Master Sword, Ganon, and even Princess Zelda herself, it retains many of the same items found throughout Hyrule, including Heart Pieces....

Loop Hero is the new game on the block, turning heads all over the internet, and for good reason. It’s an interesting blend of deck building, roguelike, and idle game. It’s also quite challenging, meaning players are pouring many hours into it to try and beat all the chapters. While chapter one was certainly no cakewalk, chapter two is where the difficulty really spikes. Your old tactics and card combinations won’t work as well here, so new strategies will be needed....

Los shooters han existido casi desde los albores de los videojuegos, y con razón: la catarsis de una buena mezcla de retroalimentación y retroceso no se parece a la de ningún otro género de juego, cuando se hace bien. Sin embargo, con la enorme popularidad llega la sobresaturación, por lo que puede resultar difícil moverse por la cantidad de shooters entre los que se puede elegir, y en algunos casos puede ser difícil distinguirlos....

In a rather stunning turn of events, this year’s Madden Bowl has been won by a player who never threw a single pass. Raidel “Joke” Brito took home $65,000 for outsmarting his opponent, and perhaps even the Madden NFL 20 developers. The Madden Bowl is structured around team/roster building, with a salary cap in mind. A top QB like Patrick Mahomes or the Madden NFL 21 cover athlete Lamar Jackon are both going to cost more money than journeyman Harvard-grad Ryan Fitzpatrick....

For all its flaws, Marvel’s Avengers boasts a roster of heroes that can be incredibly fun to play as. From the immense power of The Hulk to the stealthy mechanics of Black Widow, the playable characters of the game feel vastly different from one another. With the roster set to grow a bit larger via Hawkeye’s upcoming addition (Clint Barton) to the game, Marvel’s Avengers’ biggest strength remains the characters that the game is focused on....

The Shadow Broker is a title shrouded in mystery and one that most in the galaxy of Mass Effect knows and fears. It is the head of an organization that deals with secrets and information. In the first game, no one knows who could be the Shadow Broker or even if it is truly a single individual. In the events of Mass Effect 2 DLC though, his identity is revealed by Liara and Shepard....

Now that the “eye patch” update is out for Mass Effect: Andromeda, which fixed many of the facial and eye design issues in the game, gamer frustration is somewhat pacified. However, a newly revealed video from senior cinematic animator Tal Peleg shows what could have been for Mass Effect: Andromeda facial animations. The video, which can be seen below, shows early character animations for Mass Effect: Andromeda, and the visuals are quite impressive, especially for being so early in development....

FIFA often feels like it’s two games in one these days. There’s the online, FIFA Ultimate Team mode with gambling, loot boxes, and players arriving and departing from your squad in collectible card format. Retired - and sometimes even deceased - ex pros can line up alongside the stars of today in this microtransaction-infused sticker book version of football. Then there’s Career Mode; the offline mode where you manage your chosen club and help them win promotion, stave off relegation, or even claim the Champions League....

The Meta Quest 2 keeps getting better and better it seems. Meta recently announced that it was allowing developers to take advantage of more GPU performance, pushing the Quest 2’s GPU frequency from 490 MHz to 525 Mhz. This equates to seven per cent more power which in turn leads to a smoother experience and an improved frame rate for the end user. Neel Bedekar, one of the engineers for Meta has taken to Twitter to explain that this will be a feature of V49 of the Meta Quest 2 software....

The Coalition producer Rod Fergusson shows off some Gears of War 4 gameplay for Xbox marketing exec Aaron Greenberg, and the response was very positive. When Xbox boss Phil Spencer was shown some new Gears of War 4 footage last week, he was reportedly blown away and stated that developers The Coalition were making “stunning progress” on the game. This week saw The Coalition studio head Rod Fergusson show off some more Gears of War 4 gameplay to Xbox marketing executive Aaron Greenberg, and the response was also incredibly positive....

Microsoft is reportedly “in advanced talks” to acquire artificial intelligence and speech recognition technology company Nuance Communications. The price currently under discussion apparently values Nuance at around $56 a share, which would clock up a total price for the acquisition of approximately $16 billion. If this deal with Nuance goes through, it will be Microsoft’s second-biggest acquisition deal ever. In 2016, the company bought LinkedIn for an utterly staggering amount of $26....
