A study held recently by car performance brand Redex has shown that Mario Kart players value cuteness in their chosen characters almost as much as their speed. When it comes to Mario Kart games, being the wacky racing games they are, it’s expected that you will generally want to go for characters which are as zippy as possible. But it turns out that their cute factor also weighs in considerably when it comes to choosing which character will race you to victory....
With the release date of Marvel’s Avengers inching ever closer, now might be the time to decide on which edition to buy and get those preorders in. In a world where most games are available for digital download so they can never sell out, preordering titles might seem like a useless act to some. However, developers are so keen on getting those sales underway as soon as possible that preordering most games comes with a few added bonuses....
Just days prior to E3 2017, Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite is back in the news once again as a potential new leak has not only revealed more of the upcoming characters but also Capcom’s downloadable content heavy plan to keep the game going after launch. While this new list features a lot more fan requested characters for Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, readers should continue to take this information with a grain of salt until officially revealed by Capcom....
BioWare’s Chris Wynn responds to the suggestion that the Mass Effect franchise needs its iconic Commander Shepard to be present in Mass Effect: Andromeda. BioWare’s senior development director Chris Wynn has recently responded to fan criticisms about the company’s decision to leave Commander Shepard out of the upcoming Mass Effect: Andromeda. Responding to a fan who said that Mass Effect would be ‘“embarrassing” without the game’s iconic Commander, Wynn replied on Twitter that the space-themed action RPG series doesn’t necessarily require the character in order to be a success....
Although BioWare is known for including romance links that allow their protagonists to sleep around with several of their encountered companions, it looks like the upcoming Mass Effect: Andromeda will be turning up the heat a little. With no official ESRB rating provided just yet, it seems that the title has lost its “partial nudity” advisory in place of a “full nudity” warning. BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn confirmed the news, telling fans on Twitter that the game is “totally softcore space porn”....
Mass Effect: Andromeda launches with HDR support for Xbox One S, PS4, PS4 Pro, and PC according to an unofficial Twitter Q&A with Bioware GM Aaryn Flynn. After years of near silence from BioWare on the future of Mass Effect, the franchise’s return is finally just around the corner. As the March release of Mass Effect: Andromeda gets closer, more details continue to arrive on a daily basis. After confirming the game’s release date and explaining that the game will not feature a season pass, the creators are now discussing Mass Effect: Andromeda’s HDR support....
The hunt for the Platinum trophy is something that many gamers aim to embark upon, but hardly ever achieve. While getting a Platinum trophy in a Mass Effect game is already a huge task, it appears that the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition will have three. It may seem like you’re getting three possible Platinums for the price of one, but that’s putting it mildly; each of the games in the Legendary Edition trilogy will have its own Platinum....
Despite being one the strongest individuals in the Mass Effect universe, Shepard has no chance of beating the Collectors alone. So, they build a team of some of the most impressive specialists in the galaxy. Each member is recruited because of their physical and mental capabilities. Cerberus doesn’t select any of them because of their virtuous nature. In truth, when going up against an enemy like the Collecters, you probably need some ruthlessness....
MediEvil, the remake of the 1998 action-adventure game for the original PlayStation, is coming to life via a newly released announcement trailer. Sir Daniel Fortesque has risen from the grave once more, revisiting the adventure that started it all. It’s a Halloween treat but also partly a trick. While it’s exciting to see the first footage of MediEvil’s modern update, Sony has decided not to share MediEvil’s release date on PlayStation 4 beyond a general 2019 just yet....
There are many mutants and odd creatures in the mythos of the Metro franchise but none of them can pique curiosity as highly as the Dark Ones. They’re supposedly the mutated version of the human beings, just as some of the monstrous enemies in the games are mutated animals. The Dark Ones, however, seem more advanced and powerful that even regular human beings consider them as bigger threats than the usual byproduct of nuclear war....
About a month ago it seemed like a forgone conclusion that Microsoft would not only unveil a new console (the Xbox Infinity, Durango, Xbox 720…something) alongside a dedicated set-top TV-ready device. However, as we near Microsoft’s May 21st event, those rumors seem less and less likely. According to the most recent report, Microsoft has been testing out an Xbox TV device — even going so far as to create a prototype — but they are not ready to bring it to market....
Microsoft may have shelved plans for its next-generation Project Lockhart Xbox console, suggest some industry rumors. The company had teased plans for its next-generation of Xbox consoles at E3 2019 when it announced Xbox Project Scarlett, also confirming specs and that it would launch in holiday 2020. Benji-Sales, who often reveals and discusses games industry leaks on Twitter, posted this week that it looks like “the weaker version of Microsoft’s next gen console code name Lockhardt has possibly been shelved....
The latest Minecraft update just released and it has drastically altered the behaviors of villagers throughout the game. The Village & Pillage update has taken the mindless, passive villagers that populate the game and given them some personality–maybe a bit too much for some. Reports from players all over are documenting the vastly different, and often odd, behaviors the denizens of Minecraft have been demonstrating. The Village & Pillage update is enormous, adding a plethora of features and items to the game....
There are plenty of Minecraft modifications out their for Mojang’s record-breaking game, but very few have achieved the popularity and range of features that the Pixelmon mod has (at least, for the right reasons). The Pokemon-based mod allows gamers to interact and battle with multiple Pokemon across several generations of the popular series, and a recent update to Pixelmon has once again caught the attention of the Minecraft community by introducing even more features....
A new exploit is causing chaos in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s Search and Destroy game mode. Using a feature found within the game’s engine, some fans have found a way to make the Modern Warfare multiplayer match unwinnable for the defuse team. Using a simple system, players can make defusing the bomb impossible. In Modern Warfare’s Search and Destroy, two teams compete over a small map to try and defend or destroy an objective....
Fans have been treated to an eyeful of Steppenwolf from Zack Snyder’s extended Justice League project. Snyder’s forthcoming cut of the 2017 film, which he had to abandon after a family tragedy, will be released in several parts on HBO Max in 2021, and is set to cost around $70 million to fully complete. Joss Whedon famously took the directorial reins from Snyder after he left Justice League, and some fans were unhappy that Snyder wasn’t able to realize his original vision for the film....
Kazuya, the latest fighter to join Super Smash Bros.Ultimate, has only been part of the roster since last Tuesday. This however hasn’t stopped the Tekken star from making his mark, as Smash players both casual and pro are struggling to take him down, even when he’s a CPU. To test the waters with this new fighter, a computer-controlled Kazuya (admittedly on the hardest difficulty, level 9) was entered into a local Smash Bros....
While Kingdom Hearts 2 added whole new levels of depth to the fairly basic combat of the series, there are often times when the game feels like it can be mostly breezed through by endlessly mashing the attack button. However, one Nobody really shuts down the “Mash X” mentality faster than the rest, both in the original run of the game, as well as in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix available on modern platforms....
After spending years wrangling a mega-budget, mega-hyped sci-fi behemoth and then dealing with its divisive – and very vocal – fan reactions, you probably wouldn’t be in a rush to make another one. In fact, you’d probably opt for an original project free of the weight of expectation, which allowed you to strip things back, cut loose and have some fun. Funnily enough, that’s exactly what Rian Johnson has done with his The Last Jedi follow-up, Knives Out, serving up a film that’s about as far, far away as you could get from the Star Wars galaxy....
