Hooray for first person shooters! The floating gun genre dominates Microsoft’s listings for the most-played games on Xbox LIVE for 2011, with Call of Duty titles occupying the top three slots. Black Ops was the most popular game of the year, followed by Modern Warfare 3 and Modern Warfare 2. Halo: Reach did a big floaty jump to land at fourth place, with Battlefield 3 shuffling into fifth. Here’s the full list:...
Code Vein, the Souls-like action RPG launched recently, but prior to its launch came a demo. That demo featured a robust character creator, meaning lots of players likely put in time and effort making a custom character to take down Code Vein’s bosses. Thankfully, all of that work doesn’t have to go to waste. Players can export their custom characters from the demo directly to the new game if they know how....
Developer Remedy Entertainment has announced that third-person supernatural adventure Control has sold more than two million units since launch. As reported by GamesIndustry.biz, the numbers were revealed as part of a Capital Markets Day presentation for the company’s investors and analysts, and means the title is Remedy’s fastest growing new IP since Max Payne. As the company noted, a big part of this can also be attributed to the fact that Control is their first truly multi-platform game since the Rockstar-published series with Quantum Break and Alan Wake being former Microsoft exclusives....

Dungeons and Dragons is a time-honored hobby for all walks of life, and even crosses over into video games all the time. Despite being decades old, Dungeons and Dragons is more popular than ever. Thanks to this fact, the popular all-ages card game Dungeon Mayhem has successfully rolled out a new expansion called Monster Madness. Dungeon Mayhem is an up-to-4-player card game where players competitively explore a dungeon, dealing damage to monsters, while other players suffer “unintended consequences....
Dark Souls 3 is FromSoftware’s hyper-challenging, open-world action RPG with a vague, if not an outright baffling, story. Because of this, it can be a little tricky to find the endings. After all, if you don’t know what’s going on, how do you figure out where to go or what to do? Well, we’re here to help (sort of). Actually, what we’re really here to do is judge the endings and rank them based solely on our personal opinion of how interesting they are....
Once upon a time, video games and challenge were inseparable. During the days when quarter-munching arcade machines and tough-as-nails, literally byte-sized NES games ruled the roost, difficulty was a prerequisite of the medium, as it was directly tied to monetization. More deaths in Dig Dug or Donkey Kong meant more quarters pumped into the machine. Conversely, home console games had to be rigorously punishing lest the whole experience last less than the average length of a single episode of Thundercats....
Players are in for a treat this month, as Dauntless releases for the Nintendo Switch and adds fresh content through Escalation trails. It is important to note that Escalation is primarily meant to be endgame content and requires a minimum level of gear and basic knowledge of Behemoth mechanics. Since the game first entered its beta testing well over a year and a half ago, players often found themselves with little to do outside of repeated Behemoth farming for individual blueprints or crafting components....
Dead Space weapons are mostly repurposed mining tools that Isaac uses to blast Necromorphs in both the remake, and the original. However, unlike the original, you need to find each weapon location in Dead Space before you can use it, instead of buying some from the Ishimura’s store. As each weapon is best suited to go up against a specific type of Necromorph, we’ve also detailed the best weapons in Dead Space to help you decide which guns to keep in Isaac’s inventory....
Destiny 2 underwent a huge change earlier this year behind the scenes, with its developer Bungie breaking away from Activision to self-publish the mega-franchise on its own. The current Season of Opulence marked the last content drop with which Activision and some of the publisher’s studios were involved, so moving forward Bungie is in full control of the franchise starting with the Shadowkeep expansion. In a move that came as a surprise, Bungie delayed this fall’s Shadowkeep expansion by two weeks, pushing its release date to October 1st....
The next exotic weapon quest for Destiny 2 arrived this week and while it is significantly more complicated than the Leviathan’s Breath quest, many have already got their hands on the Xenophage exotic heavy machine gun. But because there is a lot more effort involved in getting Xenophage, Destiny 2 players might be wondering whether the exotic heavy machine gun is worth the commitment. More specifically, since the quest involves the new Pit of Heresy dungeon, is Xenophage worth getting a fireteam together for a few hours?...

The headline here is that it features a Fast IPS panel, the same as Dell’s S2721DGFA and LG’s own 27GL850, which brings with it the excellent colour reproduction and wonderfully wide viewing angles of an IPS display with the speedy 1ms response times and great motion handling that would normally be more associated with a TN panel. You also get the current spec sweet spot for PC gaming - 2560x1440 and 144Hz - which is also supported on PS5 and Xbox Series X....
This Disenchantment review contains spoilers. Disenchantment Episode 3 It’s a bit unfortunate Disenchantment felt the need to take two episodes to set up its premise and that, in all that premise-setting, it accidentally introduced kind of crappy versions of its characters. “The Princess of Darkness” works as an antidote to all that, presenting the most solid versions of these characters and how they interact with each other yet, in a well-paced, self-contained plot....

This Charmed review contains spoilers. Charmed Season 2 Episode 5 Despite the title of this episode, Kat does not feature heavily and, in the words of great modern philosopher Drake, I’m upset. But what this episode lacks in flirtation between two magical, queer, Brown girls it makes up for in White Man Feelings. And I’m gonna let it rock… this time. So, let’s get into it. In last week’s episode, Macy fell for the okey doke and was whisked away by Not-Harry, while her sisters and Abigael sauntered casually through a portal to safety without her....

Popular Counter-Strike streamer NBK has raised over $12,000 for Australian wildlife rehabilitation. Australia is still on fire, which is a problem. So far, over 26 million acres have been destroyed. To put that into perspective, imagine if Switzerland, Denmark, and part of Belgium all caught fire and burned to the ground. Now, there are slight differences since all those European countries are much more densely populated and Australia only lost 2,200 homes, but the scale of the Australian bushfires is still staggering....
