According to a recent announcement on Steam, Marvel’s Avengers’ next patch will aim to fix stability issues on PC. Marvel’s Avengers has been a mixed bag for most players. On one hand, it’s outsold Tony Hawk and NBA in the UK. On the other hand, it was nearly unplayable for at least one PlayStation user and has stability issues on the PC. Of course, no game is perfect on launch. There is always something to smooth out once players get their hands on a new game....
The Mass Effect series is well known for a variety of things, one of which is its creative storytelling and romantic plotlines. February is “Creative Romance Month” and the perfect time to recount some of Mass Effect’s best romances for Commander Shepard and Pathfinder Ryder. Mass Effect: Andromeda left a lot to be desired with some players, but some of the romances in-game were still on par with others from the original trilogy....
Mass Effect has always been a mesh of genres. The defining factor in whether you prefer the first or the second instalment is your preference between more traditional RPGs or more modern cover shooters, with both games including elements of either but leaning heavily in different directions. That’s before you even get to the narrative - that’s obviously sci-fi, with elements of space western and space opera, as well as action and romance....

In this modern era of online connected single-player titles, many games with achievements and trophies have been rendered incompletable due to a sudden server closure. Anything that requires some kind of online interactivity is at risk of one-day losing content when a server shuts down and the publisher moves on. Thankfully for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, publisher WB Games has issued a new patch to fix this error. In the final update for the game that comes some three years after its last one, players will now be able to boot up Shadow of Mordor and complete online achievements/trophies without worrying about an online connection....

The best Star Wars game of all time has finally been recreated in Unreal 4. No, we’re not talking about Rogue Squadron or Knights of the Old Republic. We’re talking about the fastest action in the galaxy: Star Wars Episode 1: Racer. For those too young to remember, this was the racing game that came out shortly after Star Wars Episode 1 was released. It featured the best part of the movie, pod racing, and got rid of all the weird Jar Jar Binks and Jedi stuff....
Wahoo! Modder SuperLouis64 has somehow made Super Mario 64 playable with the Xbox peripheral Kinect… and a mini-trampoline. SuperLouis64 made jumping on the trampoline translate to pressing the A button, crouching in real-life as the Z button, spinning as a turn for Mario, and a punching motion as the B button. In his hand, he has a single Joy-con for movement. During the video, he shows himself rapidly spinning in a circle to throw Bowser towards the bombs....
Luke Skywalker has had quite the journey. Orphan farm boy. Jedi Knight. Saviour of the Rebellion. Fallen Jedi looking for redemption.

This article contains major Lamb spoilers. Read our spoiler-free review here. Who is Ada’s father? It’s the question asked in the very first shot of Valdimar Jóhannsson’s Lamb, as an unseen person (or animal) treks through a frigid Christmas Eve snow, looking for comfort. I doubt I was the only viewer to be suspicious about the characters we meet, particularly when brother Pétur (Björn Hlynur Haraldsson) shows up on the farm unannounced later in the movie....

Out of all the states, California is being hit especially hard by the virus, with more than 30,000 new cases and hundreds of deaths per day. With the North American League of Legends scene located in Los Angeles, it was only a matter of time before that was affected too....
Like crossing west over the International Date Line, crossing into the next generation of gaming consoles can leave developers and publishers in a strange, somewhat perplexing state of dilemma. How much longer should you focus on rapidly-outdating systems, cozy in the confines of a decade’s experience. And how willing are you to leave it all behind, embracing the reality that a new day has dawned? Initially – and because for some it also makes perfect business sense – many triple-A studios are apt to target both generations....
