Marvel’s Avengers has the makings of a masterpiece in there somewhere. Unfortunately, those makings are buried in a giant mess of a “games as a service” title. Since its launch, fans remained loyal only for so long waiting for things to fixed and content to be added as promised. With the recent War Table Deep Dive dedicated to what’s coming with Kate Bishop on December 8th, it gives some hope. However, it might not be enough to bring back the 96% loss of players it has endured....

While the gear in Marvel’s Avengers makes no aesthetic changes, there are plenty of skins to unlock. Each Avenger features rare, epic, and legendary skins of various designs to suit the player’s tastes and distinguish them online. With it being a live-service game, there will definitely be more skins to come throughout the future through different events. One of the best rosters of skins comes from Kamala Khan (AKA Ms. Marvel); she sports suits of various styles that show off her adorable nature....

Since the dawn of superhero video games, one thing that has sometimes taken fans out of the experience was how video game heroes usually look nothing like the actors who portrayed them on the big screen. Perhaps that is why someone used deep fake technology to create a Marvel’s Avengers trailer featuring the CG faces of the MCU cast. The video, which was uploaded by YouTuber BabyZone, imagines what the upcoming Marvel’s Avengers would look like if the characters had the likeness of the MCU cast....

In the story of Mass Effect, Commander Shepard becomes the hero of the Systems Alliance, and he/she also becomes the first human Spectre, all to take down the rogue Spectre Saren. But Shepard needed a ship: the SSV Normandy. It served Shepard well until its destruction at the hands of the Collectors, and a new Normandy was completed two years later. This new vessel was the Normandy SR2, and it was with this ship that Shepard flew on behalf of the Cerberus organization to take on the Collectors, and in 2186, this ship bravely faced the deadly Reaper fleets and survived....

A new report from industry pundit Jeff Grubb has stated that Microsoft is still looking into dropping the Xbox Live Gold requirement for online multiplayer on its Xbox range of consoles. Heavily rumored for more than a year now, Grubb now claims that Microsoft is waiting until Xbox Game Pass hits a certain subscriber milestone before the company pulls the plug on Gold subscriptions. “[Dropping Gold] might take years, because the focus right now still very much is getting Game Pass into a very healthy position,” Grubb said on the latest episode of his premium podcast, GrubbSnax, on Giant Bomb....

2020 is turning out to be a terrible year for the entertainment industries of the world. While no one could have predicted a global pandemic hitting, most companies aren’t gearing up for a big new launch this holiday season. Microsoft is (along with its chief competitor, Sony), but it seems the head of Xbox Phil Spencer is pretty understanding when it comes to the average person’s economic situation. In an interview with BBC News, Spencer stated, “If this is not the year when a family wants to make a decision to buy a new Xbox, that’s OK....

Recently, Game Rant had the opportunity to talk with Minecraft Dungeons creators Mans Olson, Daniel Bjorkefors, and Nathan Rose, all of whom have had an important role in Minecaft Dungeon’s development.

Get excited baseball fans, MLB The Show is back. The baseball sim developed by San Diego Studios has been lauded for its realism, accurate player ratings, and dynamic game mechanics. This year’s edition, however, is being praised for a different reason. For the first time in its history, MLB The Show 21 will release on the Xbox Series, and will also be available on Game Pass. MLB The Show 21 offers many game modes, but year after year, Franchise mode continues to be one of the more popular, mainly because fans think they have what it takes to build a winning team....

Activision is currently investigating a server outage on Modern Warfare and Warzone that is affecting every platform. The last update came in at 5:46 PDT, and there is currently no solution. Saturday night during a wold-wide lockdown isn’t the most ideal time for server issues, but it seems that not all players are affected. While “server outage” is non-specific as to how many servers are impacted, it appears that some players, including many streamers, are still in the game....

Harley Quinn is easily one of DC’s biggest breakout stars in recent years. Iinvented for Batman: The Animated Series, the acrobatic mischief maker has come a long way from being Joker’s lovesick tag-along, grabbing the spotlight in several solo projects. Her most recent solo gig is Harley Quinn, an adult animated series that sees Quinn forging her own path to villainy, taking quite a few potshots at the rest of the DC universe along the way....

Netflix decided to open the New Year with one of its most uniquely structured programs in years: the Giancarlo Esposito-starring vehicle, Kaleidoscope. The dramatic thriller tells the story of a rag-tag group of criminals trying to pull off one of the biggest heists in modern history. The novelty of the series lies in the episode-formatting gimmick that creator Eric Garcia employs to give each viewer a different perspective on the events in the timeline leading up to and after the heist: the eight episode order is random for all Netflix accounts....

Fans of BioShock: Infinite are likely still trying to process the fact that after months of silence regarding DLC, Irrational Games has finally pulled back the curtains. Not only will the first batch of story-focused DLC - ‘Burial At Sea’ - be giving the player the chance to control Elizabeth, it will be sending both of the game’s stars back to the underwater city of Rapture. How that story will begin, play out, and fit into the larger BioShock fiction is something fans could spend years debating....

Our quick take Alternatives to consider Audi A5 Sportback BMW 4 Series Kia Stinger GT S - 4.5 / 5 Another smash-hit design Everything is standard Size isn’t everything No respect for rules The (not so) cheap seats To recap It sounds like a tall order to take on the established German brands, but the Kia Stinger GT S delivers in droves. Great design, great specification and a great drive make it a genuine contender that’s well worth a look if you’re in the market for something different....

Calling Kingdom Come: Deliverance committed to realism would undersell just how brutal this game can be. It is billed as an RPG, but really emphasizes the roll playing aspect by making you really need to play as carefully and strategically as possible to avoid an quick and easy death. Once you finally manage to scrape together enough funds to buy yourself a horse, you will probably want to protect that investment with some horse armor....

The Kirby series is known for being many things. The games aren’t the most challenging, with accessible difficulty curves for younger game players. They’re insanely consistent in quality, meaning any game is a safe bet to purchase. It provides simple platforming fun with great visuals and music. Most importantly, Kirby is loaded with cute enemies and allies across the board. Of course, some enemies aren’t very interesting in design. However, the designers have done a great job making sure many of the enemies, particularly the recruitable allies, are just adorable....

PlayStation Latin America has deleted a Tweet that seemingly reconfirmed that anticipated indie game Little Devil Inside is releasing in July. The official Twitter account for PlayStation Latin America posted an image of upcoming PlayStation releases for July with the caption, “You better get your thumbs ready, because July is going to have some great PlayStation releases. Which ones do you plan to play?” Within that list of July releases was Little Devil Inside, which was put at the bottom without a specific release date....

After another week’s wait, episode three of Loki is finally here, bringing with it more mystery, humour, relationships, and one very important conversation. During the latest episode, titled Lamentis, we find Loki and the Variant - who goes by the name Sylvie - on an alien moon in the process of being destroyed by a collapsing planet from space. The entire episode focuses on the two characters as they get to know each other better - bantering, bickering, and fighting amongst themselves - and despite being the shortest one in the season so far, it was incredibly entertaining....
