This weekend was the 2020 Mythic Invitational, one of the biggest Magic: The Gathering tournaments of the year. Players from across the globe brought their best decks to battle it out for the championship. Despite some delays due to technical difficulties, it was a weekend full of great Magic: The Gathering gameplay that many fans won’t soon forget. The Mythic Invitational was the first major tournament to use Magic’s Historic format, which debuted last year....

I’m not sure what has gone so wrong (or so right?) that you’ll be trying to redeem your Resident Evil Re:verse code 778 years from now, but just make sure you get it taken care of before then. In a rather hilarious post on Reset Era, someone shared their redemption instructions for their digital copy of Re:verse, and the slip of paper warns that the code expires in 2799. For those of you picking up a physical copy of Resident Evil Village now, you may notice the game comes packaged with Capcom’s online multiplayer clash....

No one loves Deadpool more than Deadpool, so as Deadpool, the game, draws nearer to its forecasted 2013 release, expect to see the swaggering superhero eat up Activision’s publication material for the title like a hearty chimichanga. We’ve already been treated to the Deadpool premier trailer at July’s San Diego Comic-Con (introduced, of course, by the protagonist himself), and this week’s Gamescom saw the publisher unload a batch of screenshots and concept art to stoke our anticipation of where the game might be headed....

The video game industry is one of the largest in the world, turning over hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue each and every year. As the industry continues to grow, so too does the pressure placed on developers to deliver. The cost of developing video games has skyrocketed over the past few decades, with some costing hundreds of millions of dollars when all’s said and done. Thanks in large to the sheer size of the industry, most of these games are able to comfortably recover their costs....

Earlier this month, Square Enix released a big update for Marvel’s Avengers that added a ton of content including a long-awaited Avenger - Hawkeye. Clint’s arrival was a long time coming, having been originally teased in July 2020. Last week, Square Enix announced a new Red Room Takeover event on Marvel’s Avengers’ official Twitter account with new MCU-inspired outfits, and animated nameplates, as in-game rewards… which seems to be no longer happening....

There are lots of optional assignments in Mass Effect, and one that many players often overlook is Citadel: The Fan. This assignment has three parts to it unless you end it prematurely. Although it seems rather insignificant and offers no rewards, this assignment has repercussions in both Mass Effect 2 and 3. It is worth investing some time into Conrad Verner’s little events (without blowing him off), as in Mass Effect 3 he can help to increase your Military Strength providing you complete certain prerequisites....

Mass Effect 2 is a game stuffed full of ways to improve your combat abilities. Each individual weapon has its own upgrade set, plus there are some for your teammates and ship. Some of these are essential to your success, whether in firefights or the actual story, so it’s crucial to know where each and everyone is. This guide will lead you to them! Updated December 14, 2021, by Gabrielle Huston: Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, a remaster of the original trilogy, has encouraged many players to return to or try out this sci-fi RPG trilogy....

Despite coming out 10+ years ago, Mass Effect 2 is still being heavily discussed by fans today. This is because the game had some of the best characters, storytelling, and world-building in RPG history. Nothing showed off these traits better than the game’s loyalty missions. It was during these missions, where you got a closer look at your squadmates and their personal lives. Every squadmate had a loyalty quest, and they all ranged from okay to amazing....

Model ships are collectibles in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3. While they add nothing to the story, they are extra little goodies that decorate your ship with. They are especially nifty in the second game, as much about the Normandy ship is new and improved from its first version. Shepard is often in stressful situations, dealing with hostile enemies, intergalactic politics, and of course always trying not to die....

Mass Effect is an RPG franchise that has action-oriented combat and offers dozens upon dozens of hours of gameplay. The first Mass Effect is the most RPG-Like entry of the series, which can explain why players who started with the sequels might struggle to go back to the original game. Although many players want to start from the best-rated entries of a franchise, there is so much in the first game worth going through....

Lo único más emocionante que hacerse con una Xbox Serie X o Serie S es sopesar la plétora de accesorios disponibles para cualquiera de las dos consolas. Aunque puedes limitarte a lo que viene en la caja y pasártelo en grande, invertir en algunos accesorios específicos para Xbox es una forma segura de perfeccionar tu experiencia. Puede que quieras unos auriculares Xbox de alta gama para sumergirte en las partidas multijugador, un mando Xbox de otro fabricante con más opciones de personalización o incluso algo tan sencillo como una tarjeta de expansión de almacenamiento para aumentar la memoria de la consola....

The Xbox Series X is building up momentum for its holiday launch, as today a large Inside Xbox stream was stuffed with information on games for the upcoming console. However, as fans are transitioning from one generation to the next, it’s not always easy to understand which video game is optimized for the newest console.

With the coronavirus pandemic still having a major global impact, people remain heavily reliant on electronics and online services to help pass the time while being stuck at home. Naturally, gaming has seen a major boom in usage and popularity, even getting approval from one of its former detractors, the World Health Organization. With numbers and populations surging, online services have begun to strain a bit with companies like Microsoft making moves to reduce the load on Xbox Live enabled devices....

One of 2020’s biggest breakout releases was Asobo Studios’ Microsoft Flight Simulator. The game, a reboot of Microsoft’s classic simulation series of software and video games, is one of the highest-rated titles of the year on review score aggregators such as Metacritic and OpenCritic, and amassed more than 1 million players within the first month of its release. Now, as the developers at Asobo Studio continue to support the game, the team has released a roadmap for content coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator in early 2021, including a world update focused on the United Kingdom....

Microsoft Flight Simulator continues to be a mesmerizing game as more players push the limits of how far the simulation aspect will go.

In the most recent demonstration of just how accurate Microsoft Flight Simulator is in recreating actual flying experiences, a new set of videos provide some direct comparison footage....

The staying power of Mojang’s sandbox building and adventure title Minecraft is frankly difficult to comprehend, as even after 11 years on the market it remains one of the most popular games of all time. Its influence can be seen across the industry through the influx of throwback voxel graphical styles, crafting elements, and more. With that being said, it’s surprising that the developers have not capitalized on the game’s massive success with any spin-offs outside of Telltale’s narrative-driven Minecraft: Story Mode until this year’s Minecraft Dungeons....

If you remember from back in 2019, Microsoft had announced that a laundry list of Final Fantasy games would be coming to Xbox Game Pass in 2020. While a few of them have appeared on the service, there’s still six titles announced that have yet to make an appearance. If you thought something sinister was going on behind the scenes, you don’t need to worry anymore. Microsoft has just confirmed that all of those missing games will be coming to its subscription service in the coming months....

Dragon Ball, Naruto, My Hero Academia. These series began many an anime fandom. If it wasn’t one of these heavy hitters, it could have just as easily been darker stuff like Yu Yu Hakusho or the Japanese favorite One Piece. Whatever ignited that first spark, many fans would be surprised to learn that several top anime have their origins in comics published by Shonen Jump. And just like Nintendo has done with Super Smash Bros....

Warning: spoilers for ER, Buffy , The 100, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Downton Abbey, The West Wing, Vikings & How I Met Your Mother. ER ran for 15 years and focused on the staff at an Emergency Room in Chicago – so unsurprisingly, there were a lot of deaths over the course of the series. Like many a genre show, episodes where everybody lives were fairly rare. The regular cast were also subjected to a series of traumatic incidents from which their fellow medical staff were required to save them, including but not limited to car accidents, heart attacks, suicide attempts, stabbings, sexual assault, getting kidnapped, being held hostage, getting beaten up, getting shot, and accidentally stepping on broken glass....
