I wouldn’t say that racing games are my favorite genre, but they hold a special place in my heart. One of the first racers I ever poured hours into was Ridge Racer on the PlayStation 1. The constant drive to get that first place win was always a hanging over my head. Then, unlocking every track and car easily became a personal challenge for me. Over the years, many other arcade racing and driving titles have weaseled their way into my eclectic library....

After two very popular movies, Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool is a firm favourite amongst comic book movie fans – making Deadpool 3 a tantalising prospect. Ever since the last movie in 2018, fans have been clamouring for a third outing. The R-rated series has been under 20th Century Fox’s remit until 2019 when the latter was bought by Disney. That saw the Deadpool series brought under Marvel Studios. Now the Merc with with a Mouth is under the House of Mouse, what does that mean for a potential Deadpool 3?...

Hideo Kojima’s next major project, Death Stranding, is almost available, and it is currently dominating headlines. As such, it’s no surprise that companies might wish to use the game to help promote their own products, and the latest Death Stranding gameplay demo from the Tokyo Game Show (which was roughly 50 minutes long) showed a rather bizarre example of this. During the demo, main protagonist Sam Porter Bridges (played by Norman Reedus) swims against a strong current, which wears him out and depletes his energy....

Destiny 2 is doing something new with its power progression in Shadowkeep. Actually, there is quite a bit changing in how players pursue Power, from Prime Engrams to new pinnacle power sources, but in particular, there will be a seasonal-based power progression based around the new Seasonal Artifact item starting in season 8. During the Armor 2.0 reveal stream that developer Bungie held earlier this week, some keen-eyed fans caught sight of an extra Power bonus listed on one of the tool-tips in the character screen of the game showing an additional “+1 bonus” to the player’s Power level....

Although Bungie left Destiny 2 players with a cliff-hanger last week in their quest to “save” Saint-14, this week finally brings some closure to that big promise. However, getting to the end goal of the “An Impossible Task” quest might prove harder than players expected. One of the major hurdles in the Impossible Task quest is a step involving Saint-14’s Ghost. Near the end of the quest, Destiny 2 players are sent to the destination Nessus to find the Ghost, but arriving at its location is harder than most think....

By now Destiny 2 players are well acquainted with the Armor 2.0 system that is arriving with Shadowkeep on October 1st. But what they may not know is that Bungie is also making an important change to weapon mods in Shadowkeep that, while not as substantial of an overhaul as Armor 2.0, goes a long way towards improving the quality of life for Destiny 2. Bungie has revealed that any weapon mods Destiny 2 players have in their inventory will become universal, multi-use mods....

Part of that involves being transparent about where things have been going wrong....

Ever since the announcement of the remake of Resident Evil 2 back in 2015, many players have been wondering which other games in Capcom’s long list of franchises will be reimagined in modern platforms.

Earlier today, said event was already leaked ahead of time on the PlayStation Store. Nope, no amount of sealant was going to stop the Vanguard tide once it started....

A clip posted on the Call of Duty: Warzone Reddit page shows the unreleased Sykov pistol in-game....

Live television is electric. Even when it’s bad, like your average episode of Saturday Night Live or VICELAND’s mostly disastrous foray into live TV, VICE Live, there’s still something compelling about the chaotic, anything-can-happen energy. The spirit of a performance teetering slightly off the rails is part of what’s made live streaming platforms like Twitch so interesting and popular; there’s a little bit of danger baked into even the most innocuous feed....
