Mass Effect 2 has a rather climactic end in the form of the Suicide Mission. Depending on the preparations you made leading up to it, and the choices you make during the mission itself, many of the characters can die — including Commander Shepard. Additionally, you will be faced with a final choice that can affect the final ending of the triliogy. The consequences of your actions in Mass Effect 2 will naturally echo in Mass Effect 3, with some characters only being available depending on whether they survived....

The evolution of Minecraft, a game that has become one of the highest-selling games of all-time, is truly impressive. The game started out as a Java game that could only be played on PC. Now, the game has evolved to be playable beyond its Java code and onto a variety of different consoles. In 2017, the Bedrock edition of Minecraft was released so players could have a different experience of playing the same game....

Here, away from the threat of the usual Minecraft enemies, players will be able to discover, cultivate, and customize their little slice of paradise....

I play more video games than almost anyone else I know. A big part of my job is keeping up with most of the popular games week after week — not just the newest releases, but also the ongoing and live service games that remain popular throughout the year. In order to write dozens of reviews, guides, features, and news articles every week, I actually have to play all of these games....

After several glitches and map exploits were discovered, it quickly became one of the most hated maps in the game’s rotation. Modern Warfare fans have been waiting months for any fix to be made so Piccadilly can return to a semi-playable state. In an atmosphere of cheaters and hackers, there is a never-ending list of Modern Warfare exploits and glitches needing to be fixed....

First published in 2013, Jupiter’s Legacy is a superhero comic centered around the Union, a group of aging superheroes, and their children as they struggle to deal with and take over their legacy. Written by Mark Millar and drawn by Frank Quitely, the comic has been received well enough to get a series adaptation, which will be handled by Netflix and is landing sooner than one might expect. Jupiter’s Legacy falls closer to the gritty and realistic side of the superhero spectrum, one that isn’t afraid to tackle real-life issues directly....

It is rather unfortunate that swatting remains a prevalent “prank” in the gaming community, with famous streamers such as Dr. Disrespect even being the target of such a life-threatening act. Despite the potential legal risks for the would-be pranksters and the intended subject, swatting sadly continues to rear its ugly head from time to time, but a new piece of anti-swatting legislation is attempting to curb this practice in Wichita, Kansas....

Rapper Kanye West is quite the diverse individual. Venturing outside of the comforts of his day job, the hip-hop lyricist has seen success in the sneaker game and, apparently, has political aspirations. West, 43, ran for the recent U.S presidential elections earlier this year and actually pulled in over 60, 000 votes, including his own, of course. According to former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, Kanye - who released the trailer for a mobile game called Only One back in 2016 - also tried to get the company to work on a certain project with him....

It’s safe to say, judging by its critical and commercial reception, that Kingdom Hearts 3 lived up to the lofty expectations many had. But upon completion, several players were left hungry for more.

Fans are anticipating new worlds to be announced at the show, but as it turns out, a release date announcement may be in the works as well.

We are gradually inching ever closer to the first ever Fortnite World Cup. With each passing weekend, new players qualify for the prestigious tournament.

The game of League of Legends requires multiple different roles and varied team compositions to achieve success. One of the earliest meta revolutions came in the form of sticking an attack-damage carry with someone who gives up all of their resources to the carry. This has evolved over time into the modern support role. While it was initially a fairly weak role, it has become quite powerful and influential. A good Support can be the difference between winning and losing games....

The only question is, who is currently the best player in the world?...

Alien fans are well aware that the legendary series has a rocky past when it comes to the games industry, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been genuinely great games developed as well. Months ago, a trademark for the title Alien: Isolation became noticed by online watchdogs, making it apparent that the Creative Assembly development studio was busy cooking something up. News has been slow to trickle out about the game, but the naming of the title as ‘Alien’ as opposed to ‘Aliens’ is in itself a good indication that the game will follow more closely to the idea behind the original movie....
