Afterlives: Bastion and Afterlives: Maldraxxus have already been released and give new perspectives on key moments in the World of Warcraft lore. Now, Afterlives: Ardenweald gives fans insight into another realm of death, where mysterious creatures called the Night Fae appear to nurture the souls of dead nature spirits awaiting reincarnation....

There’s always a risk when a beloved book, television series, or graphic novel is turned into a film. We as fans don’t have a say in the matter of whether it gets made or not, but we entrust the makers of the movie with our hope that they won’t turn our favorite stories into a piece of trash. Sometimes we are rewarded for our trust. Other times…other times our hopes are picked up and dashed to the ground....

When you finish the storyline in a game, it can mean that your time with the game is at an end, but luckily, that’s not the case with Sky: Children Of The Light. Even though the story may have come to an end, your fun within the game won’t be ending. There are many things that you can do in the game once you have played through the storyline. When you have completed the story of the game, you will have unlocked every Realm and gained a feel for how it all works....

The civil war in the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of the games biggest plot points. It’s technically the first thing that’s introduced to the player in that iconic intro sequence. You’d think that with something that was introduced before the game’s dragon that it would have a lot of work put into it. You would think that but there are more than a few things about this storyline that just don’t make any sense, no matter what team that you decide to join....

There are a few things that The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is synonymous with. One is being perhaps the greatest Western RPG released in the last decade. The other is its plethora of creative, off the wall, character and feature adding mods. As huge and full of fun as Skyrim is, it’s starting to show its age. Skyrim looked pretty good when it first game out, but its graphics and features are no longer the definite shining example in games today....

As the God of War franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary this past weekend, Sony Santa Monica used the opportunity to announce that a remastered version of God of War III is coming this summer to PlayStation 4. Naturally, when announcements like this are made, fans begin to wonder if other titles in the franchise are getting the remastered treatment as well. In a recent post on the PlayStation Blog, it appears that won’t be the case for the God of War series....

The exciting Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales for PlayStation 5 is heating up the imminent launch of Sony’s next-gen console. To celebrate its release, Marvel Comics has revealed its November comic book covers - for the Amazing Spider-Man and Miles Morales: Spider-Man series - which were designed by a handful of the game’s artists. The four cover variants were debuted on Marvel’s official website, which all featured the game’s protagonist, Miles Morales, with eye-catching designs....

Insomniac’s Spider-Man is one of the biggest games this year, breaking many sales records along the way. Following its launch in September, fans have been clamoring for more to do in the beloved game after beating the campaign. Thankfully fans may not have to wait much longer to dive back into the game thanks to Spider-Man’s upcoming DLC, The Heist, and a New Game Plus mode. Spider-Man’s The Heist DLC launches in just over a week and two of Insomniac’s staff members sat down to discuss some of the details about the DLC as well as the long-awaited New Game Plus mode....

Survival Horror took on its own meaning when Resident Evil hit the PlayStation way back in 1996. Hilariously dated by today’s standards, it nevertheless introduced gamers to the world of horror antagonists in 3D gaming, and went on to spawn a pop culture phenomenon. There have been many terrifying antagonists in the Resident Evil series throughout the last 24 years, and here are 10 of the most terrifying based on their design and aesthetic....

Resident Evil games were never known for being particularly long, but the recently released Resident Evil 3 is minuscule even by the series’ standards. An initial play through of the remake takes anywhere between four and six hours. Playing on “Hardcore” mode can extend the time a little longer due to the added challenge, but nobody will mistake it for an open-worldRPG. However, the game still has several bits of content adding replay value, most of which are listed below....

Capcom released a new trailer for Resident Evil 3, which mostly focused on the game’s heroine Jill Valentine and her desperate escape from the T-Virus infected Raccoon City. Unlike previous trailers for the remake, the latest one began with a quick glimpse of Resident Evil Resistance, which is the asymmetrical 4v1 multiplayer game that is included in Resident Evil 3. The latest trailer revealed that Jill Valentine herself will be joining the game’s roster of survivors that is made up of six original characters that were not featured in any previous Resident Evil games....

Resident Evil 7 was easily one of the most intense games of 2017. The game was praised for matching an eerie atmosphere with tense gameplay and some of the most disturbing imagery ever featured in a video game. But modders have taken things one step further, bringing the game to dizzying new heights of horror. They’ve replaced all of the characters in the game with characters from the hit TV show, Family Guy....

Paris Games Week has already been jam-packed with exciting trailers and news for Sony fans. While most gamers rewatch the new PS4-exclusive Spider-Man trailer over and over again, horror addicts may want to turn their attention to the latest trailer for Resident Evil 7’s upcoming Not a Hero DLC. The latest installment in the Resident Evil franchise was full of jump scares and long stretches of atmospheric horror. The game was truly terrifying, but some fans argued that it was a little light on the action compared to earlier installments in the series....

Despite years since first hitting the gaming scene, the battle royale genre continues to dominate. Publisher EA’s answer to the trend was Apex Legends, which still stands as one of the more popular options. After Apex Legends became a great hit with players, developer Respawn Entertainment continued to support the title with new content updates. With Respawn confirming that the cross-play beta launches in a few days, some fans are wondering where the port announced alongside it is....

Richard Garfield has weighed in on what went wrong with Valve’s Artifact, and he partially blames review bombs. It’s no secret that Artifact is basically a dead game. Steamcharts reports player counts dipping into the double digits, and the Artifact Twitch directory is basically deserted of Artifact players (although not entirely deserted, with the remaining denizens up to some pretty weird stuff). There were many complaints against Artifact, ranging from a steep learning curve to a monetization model that basically forced the player to pay money to gain new cards, with many calling it “pay-to-win....

As the holiday season approaches, so does the long awaited musical-instrument revival. Rock Band 4 is slated for an October release across Microsoft and Sony devices (sorry, PC fans), and the game is looking to bring back the true party-game vibe and then some. As it turns out, however, not all things are created equal between Microsoft and Sony’s consoles, and most notably among them is the price of Rock Band 4....

The Octane is the first car players will use in Rocket league, and it is regarded as the best by many players in the community. With thousands of new players downloading Rocket League now that it is free to play, expect even more Octanes in the arenas. Preference obviously plays a role when analyzing the best cars in the game, but it is not a coincidence that many of the best streamers and content creators use the Octane over any other car....

It’s been a big news day for Destiny 2, but it looks like an unannounced Switch port is still on the table. What appears to be a “Legendary Collection” of the game has surfaced online, and the advertisement for it lists availability for PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. While that sounds like great news for Nintendo faithful, and the Switch’s continued health, there are a few things that make us suspicious....

A new rumor claims that Super Mario’s 35th-anniversary collection will be unveiled this week. In September, it will be 35 years since the release of Super Mario Bros. It revolutionized video games forever, setting the standard for side-scrolling level design. In 1996, Nintendo once again set the standard with Super Mario 64. Never before had a game been played in the third dimension with unique worlds to explore. It’s no surprise that Super Mario continues to be massively successful with games like Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario Maker 2....
