At this stage, you may have thought that nothing could get you more hyped for Doom Eternal than you already are. Well, Mick Gordon is back, and he’s cranking the power of the game’s soundtrack up to eleven. Of course, the Doom franchise needs no introduction. The 1993 original is the grandpappy of FPS titles as we know them today; the hideous, demonic face that launched a thousand violent imitators. Where would the genre be without Doom?...
Online video game piracy groups continue to gain ground on modern anti-piracy DRM, as Middle-earth: Shadow of War appears to have been cracked less than 24-hours after its launch on PC. The Denuvo DRM that publishers have been using with high effectiveness for several years appears to have been solved by piracy groups, with Middle-earth: Shadow of War being just the latest example. No response has yet been issued by either Denuvo or Warner Bros....

It hasn’t just been the creators who have kept the game fresh and exciting for players, though. The modding community incorporates multiple game-changing features for all to enjoy. Many mods have been compiled together into modpacks, such as the industry-focused Tekkit or the Pokemon-themed Pixelmon Generations....
Minecraft Dungeons has a lot of content, especially with its procedurally generated dungeons. Fans will find a bunch of things to do after defeating the evil Illager and beating the game for the first time. There are hidden levels in Minecraft Dungeons, a plethora of gear to farm for, and even more difficult modes to replay the game on. Minecraft Dungeons is filled to the brim with content, and it will only grow with future updates, as the developers will be adding game post-game content throughout the game’s lifecycle....
Minecraft devotees were likely celebrating more than Labor Day on Monday. September 1st, 2014 marks the fifth birthday of a beloved creature that started out as a mistake. The Creeper was first introduced in Minecraft five years ago as a failed attempt to make a pig. The developers made a mistake on the higher and length values and made one of the most beloved and recognizable “villains” of any video game....

In one of several meaty monologues Sean Harris gets to chew on in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, his villainous Solomon Lane turns the franchise’s most famous line in on itself. “Your mission, should you choose to accept it,” he whispers with the conspiratorial undertones of Lucifer. “I wonder, Ethan, did you ever choose not to? Did you ever stop and ask yourself who it was giving you the orders or why?...
While many fans of the wildly anticipated entry in CD Projekt Red’s roster of games were disappointed due to its game-breaking bugs and visual stutters, many others are still enjoying the Cyberpunk 2077 story regardless. Touted as an intensive RPG with major story threads to follow at one’s leisure, choice matters more than anything. Over the course of the 25-50 hour campaign, players are met with several story driven choices and complex relationships that will effect V and Johnny’s adventure in Night City permanently....

Speed has been one of the biggest selling points of next-gen consoles like the PS5. With the introduction of a solid-state drive (SSD), the PS5 will effectively make loading screens a thing of the past, as the most recent glimpse at Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart shows. By that same token, this also means that the time it will take to start up games, like Kena: Bridge of Spirits, will also be drastically decreased....
The Darkness in Kingdom Hearts is in a somewhat middle ground with how it has been defined in the past, both established as a never-ending force of negative energy, but also personified at times. However, while the Heartless that spawn from the Darkness are well established in their many forms, there is a bit of ambiguity when it comes to the singular entity known as The Darkness and the Realm of Darkness....
It’s now been almost one year since Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding was released on the PS4 and just a tad over three months since the game made its debut on PC. While Death Stranding was met with mixed reactions from critics and players alike, it seemed clear that Kojima Productions would be back with another title in the future. However, it seems that a new project is already in the works, according to one important staff member....
If you’re worried about how well League of Legends: Wild Rift will remain true to its PC predecessor, that’s perfectly understandable. There is a history of great games turning into microtransaction nightmares with core features of the game being removed when such a transition occurs. But gamers have many reasons to give this particular port an opportunity to succeed. Recall that Riot Games did not want to do a mobile version at all unless it could be true to their vision of what League of Legends is all about....
How can a beta game like League of Legends: Wild Rift that hasn’t been released yet have an expansion event already? It’s a fair question, especially since it makes people feel like they are missing out on limited-time events just because they live in a region that is forbidden from downloading the game at all. But knowing about this 2.0 patch, the Yordle Expedition, will benefit players who haven’t been able to play the game just as much as those who are currently enjoying it....

To recap A remarkable car in many ways, with distinctive looks, supreme comfort and a masterstroke V6 hybrid engine setup.

Play any of the Grand Theft Auto games and you’ll understand that under the series’ well-polished crime sandbox sheen, there’s a biting and intelligent social commentary running throughout. Rockstar Games may be a talented developer but they also have a knack for matching tongue in cheek one liners with smart allegories too. That was the case for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which pulled Carl “CJ” Johnson into a tale of Los Santos gang warfare to mirror the same violence that was pungent to California in the 90’s....
After nearly three years, we finally have a confirmed release date for Stranger Things 4! We also learned it’s not only the first part of two installments for this upcoming season but also the penultimate run for the sci-fi series. “Occasionally, there are shows that stick in the audience’s collective mind.
