Recently revealed through a leak online, it seemed Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2 would be making their way to PC yet again through a more readily accessible modern port. It was definitely exciting news, with the games originally coming to PC shortly after their PlayStation launches but never officially porting over to digital storefronts like Steam. The leaks have been proven authentic through an announcement earlier today, with GOG revealing that Metal Gear, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, and five other classic Konami games will be launching on the storefront....

Like a number of video games over the past two years, it seems Microsoft Flight Simulator has also joined the Viking raiding party. More specifically, the game’s World Update 5 will be targeting improvements towards Nordic countries. Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden will be getting visual overhauls for various points of interest and will be “rendered in its most realistic fidelity yet,” according to the patch notes. As part of the update, detailed improvements have been made to the region’s gorgeous landscape, with further enhancement to its architecture....

The dawn of the next generation of video games is upon the masses. With the PlayStation 4 set to launch in less than 24 hours, gamers are understandably hyped to jump into the first batch of next-gen games. Shortly after, the Xbox One will join the PS4 at retailers and with it comes a slew of exclusive games. So many exclusives, in fact, that Microsoft is estimated to have spent roughly $1 billion dollars in securing them for the successor of the Xbox 360....

According to a job listing posted on Microsoft’s website, an unannounced new Halo game is currently in the works over at 343 industries. The title appears to be separate from the team’s work on the next mainline iteration of the series, Halo Infinite, and is described as a “new project” set within the IP’s expansive science fiction universe. According to the listing, Microsoft is looking for a producer to help guide the new game, claiming the job offers applicants the opportunity “to work on one of the most exciting and creative intellectual properties....

It won’t be long now until gamers are treated to a nearly unfathomable number of gaming-related reveals and announcements. With the next generation of console gaming just around the corner, this year’s E3 should prove to be one of the best in recent memory. As each company attempts to blow consumers away as they begin vying for a spot in living rooms across the globe, it’s safe to say that there will be a lot of attention focused on Microsoft following its less-than-stellar Xbox One reveal....

It’s the beginning of the end for Microsoft Points, as the antiquated currency is slowly being phased out, starting with Xbox Live beta testers. Another part of the phase-out is the dissolution of the Xbox Live Rewards program, which we have learned will start disappearing in August. Started in 2010, the Xbox Live Rewards program gave members Microsoft Points (and occasionally other digital items like Avatar clothing/trinkets) in exchange for completing tasks....

Few games have had the impact on the gaming (and overall cultural) zeitgeist as Minecraft. Enduring for many years as a universal staple, the recent release of Minecraft’s Celebration Day Content proves it’s still sticking around big time. The real beauty of Minecraft, though, isn’t the addition of new content, but the fact that it can be whatever the player wants. People can and have built astounding things, either of their own design or as monuments to other works of art and science....

While Activision’s annual franchise is set for release later this year, Infinity Ward is looking to shake things up a bit with its upcoming title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. As the debut trailer revealed, this year’s game reintroduces players to Captain Price, though this experience serves as a reimaging of the 2007 title and features more tactical and moral choices than seen before. A new story and visual engine isn’t the only additions to the game this year as Infinity Ward revealed a brand new mechanic never before seen in the franchise....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has just begun its Season 6 content, but it seems that this may not be the last season for the shooter. Although Activision has not officially confirmed the existence of Season 7, in-game Modern Warfare content has already begun to reference it. There are subtle references in the promotional writing of aspects of Modern Warfare that suggest a 7th Season may be coming. Alongside the in-game text, the official Call of Duty website mentions a continuation of the Battle Pass into a new season....

It isn’t difficult to understand why so many gamers are demanding another entry in the Star Wars: Battlefront series. After the original delivered one of the best games blessed with the Star Wars license in recent memory, the sequel only expanded on the game’s mechanics and technical prowess. While developer Spark Unlimited has been assumed to be working on Star Wars: Battlefront 3 for quite a while, new job listings and developer resumés point strongly to the game’s absolute existence, and an impending release....

Jump Force didn’t exactly light the world on fire when it launched in February, but the ambitious crossover fighting game’s impressive roster of popular anime characters is still quite appealing. And as it so happens, Jump Force is expanding its roster soon, with Yu-Gi-Oh!’s Seto Kaiba coming to the game as part of the first wave of DLC in May. Kaiba was first announced for Jump Force a couple of weeks ago, but now a gameplay trailer for the Yu-Gi-Oh!...

This comes as probably little surprise to everyone that saw the leak a few days ago, but we’ve got confirmation from Sony on next month’s free PlayStation Plus titles, which all arrive on June 1. First is Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown, which only just got revealed by Sega yesterday. The game is a remake of the classic 2006/2007 arcade and PS3/Xbox 360-era fighter in Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Dragon Engine–the same one that powers Yakuza 6 and Yakuza: Like A Dragon (and probably Judgment 2)....

Yesterday, Microsoft officially confirmed the release date for Just Cause 4 during its E3 conference with a brand new trailer. Fans of the action-adventure franchise, however, got another glimpse of the game during Square Enix’s E3 press conference. While much of it is the same, it also gifts players with a more extensive look at the gameplay and environment of the game’s fictional setting. As seen below, the Just Cause 4 presentation shows an action-packed and explosive world to explore, as well as highlights the improvements and differences in a number of the in-game gadgets....

It took years of debate but the ending of the discussion between the quality of the original Justice League and the potential of the Snyder Cut is finally over. With the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, fans can rest well with the knowledge that the director’s version is now available for everyone to watch. All things considered, even the original Justice League had a few plus points that were even better than those found in the Snyder Cut....

Keemstar has just uploaded his response video to H3H3Productions takedown video “Content Nuke - Keemstar.” In it, Keem defends himself and his behavior as he often does: by falling back on strawman arguments, playing the victim, and aggressively reshaping the narrative around his bad behavior. Towards the end of the video, Keem addresses the fact that G Fuel no longer sells his shakers or signature flavor by claiming that he contacted the company and ended their partnership to protect them from the drama, saying “they don’t deserve to have fucking hate because of our beef....

After basking in international acclaim for magically bringing King Kong and a fistful of dinosaurs to life in 1933, stop-motion giant Willis O’Brien suddenly found it very difficult to scratch up any work. After the same year’s obligatory Son of Kong, it would be another 16 years before he got any substantial film work, and even then it was just a smattering. He worked on Mighty Joe Young, The Black Scorpion, and The Giant Behemoth, but as beautiful as the results were, O’Brien’s technique was simply far too slow and laborious, and too expensive for most B-monster movie productions....

The Star Wars franchise has had a rough run of it lately, with several voicing their dislike of The Last Jedi and the Solo movie underperforming in the box office. Perhaps this will all change when The Rise of Skywalker premieres later this year, but one spin on the franchise all would almost indubitably welcome is a Knights of the Old Republic movie. And it seems more of a question of when than if, considering that a script for the first movie in a trilogy is almost finished....

The League of Legends Season 2021 Opening Day stream revealed a whole bunch of announcements for the future of the LoL franchise. One of the biggest announcements of the stream was that League of Legends: Wild Rift, a new mobile and console version of the game, will finally be available as a beta for North America in March this year. Until recently, the Wild Rift beta was only available in select parts of Asia, like Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand....

With just over a week left until the Worlds 2020 Championship begins, League of Legends players all over the world are getting ready to watch their favorite teams compete for glory. While there is usually a fair bit of hype, this year is especially interesting thanks to the return of virtual K-pop group K/DA and preparations for future champion Seraphine. Now, after a few days of teasing, Riot Games has released the official theme song of Worlds 2020....
