Hype for the free-to-play ARPG is still building and some new information from the developers offers another sneak peek behind the development curtain, this time focusing on the game’s difficulty levels....
Last week saw the first PlayStation 4 beta for Marvel’s Avengers go live, allowing players to hop into some of the game’s early story missions - including the frequently shown Golden Gate bridge sequence - alongside some of the title’s multiplayer “strike missions.” It seems reactions have been something of a mixed bag, with many claiming the game has a lot of issues despite its interesting central premise. Luckily, much like the PlayStation 4 beta that went up last week, Marvel’s Avengers newest early-access test is available early, with players on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One all being welcomed to jump in right now....
It’s been a busy few weeks for the Marvel’s Avengers team at Crystal Dynamics following on the heels of its latest reveal stream called the War Table. Late last month, fans got an in depth look at the game, characters, and modes that will be available at launch. In addition to information on story missions and cooperative War Zones, players also learned a bit more about the villainous group A.I.M. and its overarching role in the game’s narrative....
Mass Effect is the story of Commander Shepard, the hero of the Systems Alliance and the first-ever human Spectre. But the galaxy is a big and dangerous place, and Shepard must face enemies such as the mighty Reapers, the legion of Geth, and even the Cerberus organization. But Shepard also has valuable allies to call upon, even including species from eras long past. Javik is the last living Prothean, and he’s ready to fight....
The Mass Effect Legendary Edition is out and fans both old and new are exploring the galaxy as Shepard with their crew members. Of the many aliens in the franchise, the Krogan have one of the most tragic and interesting histories. Unlike humans in Mass Effect, they are a race that did not build up to space travel, but were discovered and “uplifted” by Salarians. However, due to their culture of war and competition with high birth rates, they were later kicked down by both the Turians and Salarians through the genophage, which drastically lessened their birth rates....
Commander Shepard has a wide variety of powers available in combat throughout Mass Effect, with different powers available depending on whether Shep is a Soldier, Adept, Vanguard, Engineer, Sentinel, or Infiltrator. However, throughout Mass Effect 2 Shepard will also be able to unlock a bonus power via Advanced Training. This is a research project that becomes available after completing Horizon, although immediately after Horizon, it is useless. That’s because the Advanced Training research relies on squadmate loyalty, and immediately after Horizon, none of your squad will be loyal....

Marketing for Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory has made it evident that Kairi will be the game’s main character, but it’s still a mystery as to how exactly she will fulfill the role. All of Melody of Memory’s trailers have released already, and none of them show gameplay of Kairi — she only appears in the cutscenes. In an interview with Famitsu, Kingdom Hearts series director Tetsuya Nomura cleared up exactly how Kairi will tie into the game’s main storyline and rhythm-based gameplay....
Horror fans, prepare to be disappointed. It seems that the latest casualty of Hideo Kojima’s dispute with Konami is the hotly anticipated Silent Hills. The game’s much-praised playable teaser had many convinced that the finished product was a classic in the making, but we’ll perhaps never know whether it was to deliver on its huge potential. The status of Silent Hills has been in question ever since rumblings of the gulf between Kojima and Konami started to make headlines....
Turns out increased matchmaking times isn’t the only new problem in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone. Players have also discovered another glitch that has popped up this week, and it’s affecting another crucial part of the games: voice chat. No one needs to be reminded how important communication is in fast-paced team-focused games like these two, and while more and more titles adopt ways for players to coordinate non-verbally (case in point, Warzone’s ping system), the ability to just talk to one another remains the most effective way for teams to work together towards coming out on top....
Shortly after stores closed in California following a government mandate, GameStop announced it would close all US storefronts temporarily as a result of the coronavirus. Curbside pickup and digital sales are the only way that shoppers can now shop at GameStop, but few will likely forget that the response beforehand was rather lackluster. Now, it’s clear that the brick and mortar video game retailer was downplaying the threat in the leadup to the actual closure....
Many RPG players felt a burst of excitement this morning when they saw that PlayStation’s cult classic The Legend of Dragoon was trending on Twitter. Despite there being a fan-made remake of the The Legend of Dragoon, nothing completely replaces the real thing. Unfortunately, it looks like fans shouldn’t get excited about a remake just yet. Over time, The Legend of Dragoon has become a mythical game for many players. With the mechanics of good Final Fantasy combat mixed with the best parts of being a Power Ranger, The Legend of Dragoon quickly found a home in many fans’ hearts....

The CIA recently declassified a substantial amount of UFO documents, which are now all available for download. “This month, it came to light that the latest coronavirus relief bill contains a provision requiring U.S. intelligence agencies to report everything they know about UFOs. They have 180 days to do it, and they’re allowed to keep some of the information classified. Fortunately, there’s plenty of other UFO-related material to peruse while you wait....
