By now, gamers have already heard about the launch of SimCity and its epic failure. Those that haven’t, make sure to read our comprehensive post about the game’s many problems. They’ve watched, or experienced first hand, as the game’s servers were crippled by gamers seeking, what else, to play the game. We saw it previously with Diablo 3, but luckily for Blizzard they’re a developer that has slowly ingratiated itself with the public at large....

Yes, one of two surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney (the other being Ringo Starr) has expressed interest in creating a music game to release to the public. In fact, McCartney’s working on the title right now. However, there is no further information as to who is publishing it or who is even developing it. McCartney’s no stranger to the video game world, as he and his other band mates were featured prominently in The Beatles: Rock Band, which featured a great deal of the band’s library....

Microsoft executive Albert Penello has continued the comparisons between the Xbox Scorpio and the PS4 Pro, stating that the Xbox console ‘aspired’ a little higher. This console generation, both Sony and Microsoft have been more than willing to stoke the fires of friendly competition through a war of words. Before the consoles even saw the light of day, Sony was poking fun at the Xbox One over a perceived lack of used game support, and the relationship between the two companies has continued in that manner....

Those eager to take to the skies in Microsoft Flight Simulator won’t have much longer to wait. The reboot of Microsoft’s previously popular series will be entering closed beta on July 30, 2020. To qualify for the beta, you’ll need to be a part of the Xbox Insider Program, but the steps aren’t dramatically different from the previous alpha period. If you were already accepted into the alpha, you’ll get immediate access to the beta when it releases....

In apparent efforts to improve multitasking and dashboard speed, Microsoft removes the Xbox One Snap, the feature that allows players to view an additional panel during gameplay. While the Xbox One is a console many enjoy, it seems Microsoft is still aiming to improve users’ overall experience. Players will have to wait until late 2017 for the upcoming Project Scorpio upgrade to finally be available, but that hasn’t stopped Microsoft from rolling out smaller updates....

While Minecraft’s Bees were widely received as being adorable, but like their real-life counterparts, the blocky Minecraft insects are an incredibly important part of the virtual ecosystem. Bees can create useful products such as Honeycomb, which is an integral part to a variety of craftable items. But Honeycomb in Minecraft can be a difficult, and potentially dangerous, resource to harvest. Here’s where to find Honeycomb, tips for harvesting it, and different kinds of uses....

Capcom’s Monster Hunter video game series is heading to the big screen with a feature film adaption starring Milla Jovovich and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. Unfortunately, reviews for the Monster Hunter film are now arriving and the negative reactions are unlikely to instill confidence in fans of the video games. In the action role-playing video games on which Monster Hunter is based, players assume the role of a hunter tasked with slaying or trapping large monsters by the locals of various landscapes....

Kickstarter is laying off almost half of its employees thanks to a significant reduction in fundraising projects. The coronavirus pandemic has wreaked economic havoc on this company and so many others, and with no indication of an end-date to the global crisis said companies are having to make tough decisions. Kickstarter’s David Gallagher recently reported that “while people are continuing to support live projects on Kickstarter as normal, the COVID crisis has led to a 35% drop in live projects from a year ago....

One of the trophies for the PlayStation version of Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory may hint that there’s more to the game than meets the eye. The trophy list leaked online around the same time the game appeared in August’s Nintendo Direct: Mini, and one trophy in the lot stands out from the rest due to its phrasing and title. The Melody of Memory trophy list contains 45 trophies in total with 30 of them being bronze, 11 being silver, 3 being gold, and 1, of course, being platinum....

In the recently updated “Platinum Titles” list on Capcom’s website, Resident Evil 7 has taken a top spot among the entire series. According to the latest sales figures, the first-person, VR enabled sequel to the series has become the second best selling title in Capcom’s history. That’s incredibly impressive for what was initially seen as a major departure for the brand. There is one caveat to mention here. Capcom isn’t counting re-releases of Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6 on this list....

Several months ago, the video game publisher Gun Media and the developer Bloober Team officially released a Layers of Fear 2 trailer that provided details regarding what fans should expect out of the forthcoming first-person, psychological thriller and horror title. At the time, the game had yet to receive an official launch date, nor confirmation of its supported platforms. Thankfully, the companies now have a release date scheduled, with Layers of Fear 2 set to go live on May 28, 2019 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One....

Climbing the ranked ladder in League of Legends is hard work. Everyone wants to reach Challenger, but only a tiny portion of League players ever make it past Platinum (less than 3%). Those who want to be among the best of the best must give it their all. To succeed, it’s not enough to just be good at the game. Players also need to have the right mindset and be willing to cooperate with four random strangers....

In a surprising move, Valve has announced that they’re releasing an official update for Left 4 Dead 2 that’s based largely on community-created content. “It has been many years since the infection first hit,” reads a description of the update on the Left 4 Dead blog. “Radio silence, no sign of life, nothing but lingering hopes… CEDA is not going to save us.

House of the Dragon has already been renewed for season 2 on HBO Max. “House of the Dragon has only just begun, but the Targaryen civil war has already been extended. HBO has announced that the series, set about 200 years before the events seen in Game of Thrones, will receive a second season, possibly because everyone and their mother (well, my mother, at least) watched last Sunday’s series premiere.”...

The developers of Little Devil Inside, the upcoming survival action RPG for the PS4 and PS5, have sent out an apology. The apology was released to address criticisms over the game’s showcase trailer last Thursday, which included an enemy design with some unfortunate design choices. First introduced on Steam Greenlight back in 2015, Little Devil Inside is a survival action RPG set in an atmospheric semi-open world. Players will be tasked with exploring and surviving in an unusual world with a paper-mache aesthetic....

Some people will spend fortunes and travel thousands of miles to hunt exotic creatures, and in games, this can be just as prevalent. In the world of Maneater, hunters are traveling to the east coast to capture and kill sharks. The game’s story kicks off when the hunter Scaly Pete kills the player shark’s mother, which leads to a quest for revenge. While working your way up the food chain, you’ll need to guide the shark up the Infamy ranks to take out the bounty hunter all-stars....

This article contains major Maniac spoilers. Sometimes finding health is just about earning a little bit of happiness, be it from a good friend or a road trip to Salt Lake City. Such basic, slice of life wisdom is the cornerstone for Maniac’s unconventional and deeply affecting ending after 10 episodes on Netflix. Indeed, the limited series that has captured streaming audiences’ imaginations in only a few days is a beautiful trip that is neither about the destination or its journey; rather it is about how one feels about ever been put in motion—as opposed to sitting still in a quiet room....

Mario Golf: Super Rush might be out in a little over a week, but Nintendo still had a few surprises left in store for the game. In addition to updates with new features, Super Rush is set to receive a slew of post-launch content updates that will be free. The best part: these free updates will include some brand new courses for you to play with your friends. Teased during the Direct, it seems a course based around the sights and sounds of Super Mario Odyssey will be playable....
