League of Legends has existed for over a decade and means so many things to so many different people. Long-time players have both enjoyed it as a fun experience with friends and a gateway to competitive gaming, while there are still endless casual summoners and non-players that take the game in as a sport, thanks to its massive and well-produced Championship Series. Its time in the world of gaming has also led to countless memes, many of which can only be understood by those who have had an intimate relationship with the game in some way or another....

Following the major controversy related to Electronic Arts’ practices involving Star Wars Battlefront 2’s loot boxes and microtransactions, there’s no doubt that most avid gamers are now acutely aware of the ever-increasing influx of companies using insidiously manipulative tactics to goad players into spending even more money in games. With this being the case, many fans have been optimistic that publishers and developers will begin reducing the presence of loot boxes and microtransactions in future titles....

Bandai Namco has acquired a minority stake in Limbic Entertainment, a German game development company founded in 2002 and based in Langen, for an undisclosed sum. The studio, best known for producing the Might & Magic series with Ubisoft and the 2019 strategy game Tropico 6, employs 65 people.

It’s time to head to the hills - or down them, rather - as Super Rare Games has revealed its next physical release to be Lonely Mountains: Downhill, from developer Megagon Industries. Lonely Mountains: Downhill features downhill mountain bike racing as you take on an “unspoiled mountain landscape”, darting through the forests and trails as you jump and slide to keep yourself from flying off of a cliffside - which is easier said than done, of course....

Lucasfilm has made quite a few major announcements recently, the first being that all Star Wars games now belong under the banner of “Lucasfilm Games.” More excitingly, it also announced that Lucasfilm Games would be developing a new Indiana Jones title in collaboration with Bethesda and MachineGames. Not only that, but it’s creating an open-world Star Wars game in conjunction with Ubisoft Massive, the developers behind The Division. Apparently, these announcements are just the beginning, too....

La Play Station (1991) El primer intento de consola PlayStation de Sony apareció en 1991 y contaba con una unidad de CD, pero reproducía juegos de SNES. La PlayStation original (1994) La primera PlayStation salió a la venta en Japón el 3 de diciembre de 1994. El ratón PlayStation (1994) En cuanto a los accesorios, el ratón de PlayStation -lanzado en Japón en 1994- se convirtió en el que más probablemente acabaría en el fondo de un cajón....

While playing through Maquette, players will be introduced to a marvelous and beautiful world that expands infinitely in one direction and shrinks indefinitely in the other. Players are meant to use this feature to their advantage, manipulating the size and position of objects in order to solve various puzzles. Unfortunately, while some of these puzzles allow for creative solutions, there are many that must be done in a specific way. One such example of this is the puzzle in the second chapter, The Gateways, involving colored crystals that can open up barriers of the matching color....

Comic book movies are officially trending, much in part to what Marvel and Disney have brought to the table. Over the course of the last decade, with the release of 19 MCU films, Marvel has created something most never thought possible. This is especially true after how Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War performed at the box office. There’s no stopping the train now, as another 19-20 films are likely being planned out for the next decade....

Marvel’s upcoming film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is making history in several ways. Not only is it the first Marvel film to feature an Asian lead, but it has also defied the 2020 curse and actually finished filming. Simu Liu, who plays the film’s titular lead, joined with director Destin Daniel Cretton to celebrate the milestone on social media. Bursting with smiles all around, the two announced the end of shooting on Instagram....

Human beings are often seen as one of the blandest and most fragile races in the Mass Effect mythos. However, the human characters are the most relatable, obviously. Granted, they’re not as special nor as skillful as the other races of the galaxy but they still have some worthy outliers. Some of these special individuals and the best representatives of humanity have even made their way in the protagonist’s party or in the halls of the Normandy itself....

Michael Fassbender, star of the upcoming film adaptation of Assassin’s Creed, admits that he never played the games until after signing on to do the film. There are plenty of big films on the horizon based on video games, perhaps indicating an upcoming trend in the movie industry. One of the biggest upcoming video game film adaptations is Assassin’s Creed, which will star Michael Fassbender in the lead role. However, some fans may be surprised to learn that Fassbender had never even played a game in the franchise until after he had already agreed to do the film....

Although the global pandemic is affecting every industry in different ways, Microsoft reports mostly growth according to its Earning Release for 2020 fourth-quarter report. Overall revenue was up $13 by $38 billion, while Xbox content and services revenue increased a massive 65%. The report states that the increase, which amounts to $1.3 billion in revenue, can primarily be attributed to record engagement, including strong third-party sales, and the ongoing stay-at-home guidelines that persist at the global level....

With their redesign of the Xbox Live Rewards program, Microsoft is placing precedence ever more on loyalty and devoted-player incentives. Mostly this is in the form of MyAchievements, the new, many would say meager initiative that awards players with an annual “birthday present” (retail value: 25 cents) and provides Xbox Live Marketplace discounts based upon Gamerscore (don’t look to save more than 2%). Now, however, XBL Rewards looks to capitalize on America’s most anticipated political events short of Election Day itself: the presidential and vice-presidential debates....

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is an Xbox Play Anywhere game, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has confirmed. When tweeting about the newly announced game, the Xbox executive said that it would be available on Windows 10 and Xbox One as a Play Anywhere title. With Play Anywhere, players are able to buy a game on either their Windows 10 PC or their Xbox One console and they can also play it on the other platform for free....

MilitAnt’s poorly implemented targeting system combined with its weak visual presentation and mediocre platforming squander its interesting premise. MilitAnt from Xibalba Studios is a run-and-gun side-scrolling platformer in the vein of Contra, but instead of playing as musclebound commandos, players take control of a dual-wielding ant. As the nameless dual-wielding soldier ant, players do battle with various other insects as part of a war for a precious resource called crystalite, bringing to mind films like Antz and A Bug’s Life....

It’s no secret that Minecraft is a more complicated game than what it appears to be on the surface. While some players are content with making intricate houses and mining systems, others will push the game to its limits creating things like 3D Printers and graphing calculators. Now it seems UWE Bristol has found another use for the game: educating kids about diabetes. This isn’t the first time that Minecraft has been used to teach children about real-life science....

Returnal is a gorgeous game, although I can’t really see most of it. It’s not the lighting that’s the problem - I actually think the shadows are a crucial part of Returnal’s foreboding atmosphere, and a key reason why those spooky glowing tentacles feel so unsettling. Your only source of light wants to pluck you up and devour you - it’s terrifying. Anyway, it’s not the shadows that stop me from seeing Returnal, it’s the difficulty....

Following the release of a Fallout 4 Boston Red Sox Jersey mod featuring a virtual David Ortiz, the MLB declares that they will pursue legal action against the modder. With Fallout 4 being set in a post-apocalyptic version of Boston, Massachusetts, it was only a matter of time before someone created mods to bring more iconic things from Boston to the game. One such modder went so far as to create a faithful replica of the Boston Red Sox uniform and player David Ortiz, but the MLB didn’t take kindly to it....

As of right now, there are a ton of amazing guns in Call of Duty: Warzone and endless possibilities with the gunsmith feature. Players are able to use the feature to construct guns with different attachments and make all kinds of crazy and powerful combinations. However, there are still some guns from past Call of Duty games that fans want to see make a return in some way or form. These guns could add more variety to the game and give players the chance to try out iconic weapons from the past....
