RPGs have been a staple of video games for decades, but have continued to evolve over the past few console generations. While the core pillars of exploration, combat, and role-playing, still define how good an RPG actually is, the scope and scale of the genre has evolved in a way that not many others have since they came into their own throughout the 90s. Of course, the 90s were an absolutely stellar time for RPGs....
Fans have been asking for a triple-a Harry Potter RPG for quite some time, with many wishing to dive into a massive recreation of the Wizarding World. However, besides leaked footage of a Harry Potter RPG, there have been no new announcements, teasers, or even hints at what may be next for the franchise, but that may soon change. A new rumor claims that an announcement for a big-budget Harry Potter game may be coming soon....
Riding high on the success of its first season, The Witcher is most certainly not looking to use the sign of Yrden on production of its second season. Details on the second season have been popping up here, there, and everywhere, including the lineup of directors who will take the helm when shooting begins. While production may be starting soon, that doesn’t mean Netflix and showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich are rushing to cash in on a hot property....
We’ve all been there – sometimes boredom just hits you out of nowhere when you are at school or work. An endless runner/platformer game would certainly help us feel entertained for a while before we get back to work. Well, you surely can play Run 3 unblocked on your browser if you are not allowed to download games on your PC. Here’s how. Run 3 Unblocked at School, How to Play?...
Rust, the 2018 survival sim, has received an update to usher in the new year and do away with the game’s timed holiday event. However, this update does more than rid Rust of its holiday cheer. The next time players log on to their favorite server, they should notice some big changes and a lot of recognizable names. While the game’s January update isn’t huge, it will impact almost every player....
I’m not going to pull any punches here: I never categorized Ryan Reynolds as a topnotch talent. I’ve enjoyed him in films and thought he has always been very charismatic, but even in his attempts to break a certain mould, he constantly slingshot back into the charming guy that the ladies fawn over. Well, I take it all back. In his new film The Voices, Reynolds uses that golden boy aura to craft out a highly complex and riveting performance as Jerry Hickfang, an unstable young man whose cat and dog talk to him....
AMD confirmed the Ryzen 7000 release date at their “Together we advance PCs” event back on the 29th of august. This means you can pick up a Zen 4 CPU on September 27, 2022. Zen 3 was a blast, so the upcoming launch is a highly anticipated one, to say the least. The Ryzen 7000 series will include four shiny new CPU SKUs – The Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X, and Ryzen 5 7600X....
This is a guest post from S.M. Stirling, author of The Change series and Black Chamber. The Change is the story of a generation of people who are forced to adapt to a post-apocalyptic, technology-less world after a mysterious event wipes out much of the world’s population. The final book in the series, The Sky Blue Wolves, is out next week. I didn’t anticipate that the Change series would run to 15 books – 18 if you include Island in the Sea of Time and its two sequels, which are related – when I started....
When SaGa Frontier released back in 1998, it genuinely perplexed me. This was a point in time when the PlayStation had games like Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy Tactics, Breath of Fire III, Tales of Destiny, Wild Arms, and Azure Dreams. Almost all of these games retained some semblance of traditional RPG concepts: stories were linear, objectives were easy to follow, and you grinded for experience points to level up. Then came SaGa Frontier, which threw all those ideas out the window....
Navigating an open-world game like Saints Row can be tough if you’re only starting from a single area. Thankfully, there are a few places where you should be able to teleport to when you need to speed up the process. Here’s our Saints Row fast travel guide to help you with all the fast travel photo locations in Santo Ileso. Note: We’ll have a Saints Row guides and features hub soon, so stay tuned....
The key feature is the fact that it’s both 4K and an IPS panel. That means you’ll get the most detail possible when using a powerful PC or the latest Series X and PS5 consoles, and the excellent viewing angles offered by IPS panels means greater sharpness compared to some TN displays. There’s also HDR10 support, meaning you’ll be able to take advantage of games and TV streams that offer greater image quality....
Sea of Thieves’ inclusion of the Kraken is easily one of the biggest highlights of the PC and Xbox One pirate adventurer. After all, as far as sea-faring legends go, you can’t get more iconic than the multi-tentacled beast of Scandinavian lore, which is said to be capable of dragging entire ships down into the depths. So yeah, the Kraken’s appearance in the game is a pretty big thing. It shows up at random intervals, turning the sea black with ink before wrapping its tentacles around your ship and laying waste to your crew until you manage to fight it off with cannon and small arms fire....
This spoiler-free review is based on the first three episodes. See has all the makings of a sprawling sci-fi epic: a post-apocalypse culture with warring factions, a strong tribal leader in Jason Momoa’s bear-like Baba Voss, and a brilliant premise of a totally blind culture that leaves shows about zombies and nuclear holocausts in the derivative dust. It even has the passage of almost two decades in the first two episodes, giving the saga an uncharacteristic depth almost immediately without indulging in exposition or rushing things in any way....
Yakuza 7 has new screenshots, new details, and new minigames thanks to a Famitsu expose. The latest issue of the Japanese weekly magazine blows the lid off Yakuza 7 with a bunch of new details following the big reveal last month. As a reminder, that’s when we found out that Yakuza 7 will definitely feature a new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, and the game will veer away from its real-time brawling combat to a turn-based RPG system....
Sega is teasing a brand new “AAA Game” to be revealed at Gamescom, but isn’t telling us much else. We didn’t get to see a whole lot from Sega at this year’s E3 conference. The best we got was a Sonic the Hedgehog pizza cutter, which while amusing, wasn’t exactly big news. However, Gamescom is just around the corner, and it sounds like Sega has some surprises in store for us in Germany....

Earlier today in a short trailer released on YouTube, Marvel Studios announced that the upcoming Disney+ series, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law will be slightly delayed. When Does She-Hulk Attorney At Law Come Out Originally set to begin two weeks from today on Aug. 17, the new MCU TV series is now scheduled to begin just a day later on Aug. 18 with new episodes coming out each Thursday. This is a bit of a change from the standard set by Loki last year with new episodes premiering every Wednesday....
Shenmue III doesn’t really have much of a battle tutorial system. Or a system at all, to be honest. To be fair to Shenmue III, the game is about 20 years late to the party and has a lot of catching up to do. Battle systems have evolved to a razor’s edge. Just take something like God Of War or Horizon Zero Dawn. Heck, you can even take the latest Yakuza game to see what a modern combat system should look like in a third-person action game....
Besides providing gamers with some of the best games in existence, The Elder Scrolls series has produced some of the funniest memes in existence too (or at least, in the gaming world). Among these is a bevy of memes dedicated to Argonians - the series’ resident bipedal lizard race. Argonians seem inherently meme-able because of their outlandish appearance, amusing speech habits, and hilarious names (Oblivion’s Argonian pirate Hauls-Ropes-Faster, or Skyrim’s wandering reprobate Deep-In-His-Cups come to mind)....
Although downloadable content and updates can often come across as exploitative, they still usually serve as exciting opportunities to extend the life of our favorite games. Players generally agree, though, that content updates are at their best when they come out completely free of charge, allowing everyone who owns the base game to get a slice of the action. The Butcher’s Banquet update for Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 represents one such case....
