If you’re hunting for all of the best treasures in Resident Evil 8 Village, then this one might be one of the bigger mysteries. It’s not even marked on the map, but it does in fact contain a rare treasure that you won’t be able to find anywhere else. The Lone Road Lockbox requires a key to open, not a Lockpick, and it can’t be opened by just any key you’ll be picking up during the story sequences....
Returnal seems to have been compared to an endless list of games since the trailer first premiered, likely because of the way it mixes different genres and inspirations around the idea of a triple-A roguelike. Having played through the few opening sections of Returnal, some of those comparisons hold up, while others are way off the mark. So far it feels like the old ruins from Mass Effect: Andromeda mixed with Vanquish’s gunplay....
Lost Constellation is a supplemental game for the yet-to-be-released Night in the Woods from Alec Holowka (Towerfall Ascension) and Scott Benson. Think of it as a tantalizing appetizer; the story is complete on its own, but it definitely makes you hungry for what comes next in the game’s universe. There’s a definite emphasis on storytelling over exciting gameplay, but gamers who like atmosphere and exploration will find plenty to enjoy in Lost Constellation....
Since its inception, Rocket League has crossed over with a number of other franchises and IP. Now the next crossover for the popular soccer-with-cars game has been revealed. This spring, Rocket League fans will be able to unlock content based on professional wrestling company WWE. This is thanks to a continuation of the partnership between Rocket League developer Psyonix and the sports entertainment giant. As anyone that has watched WWE in recent months will know, Rocket League has served as the sponsor for a number of WWE events, including January’s Royal Rumble and this past Sunday’s Elimination Chamber....
With the rise and success of internet subscription services like Netflix, more and more industries are beginning to see the model as a profitable option to expand their business. Microsoft has already been testing the waters of the subscription model with their Xbox Game Pass service, but a new rumor suggests that they may be looking to explore subscriptions even further. If the rumors are true, then Microsoft should be revealing a new service, coined “Xbox All Access”, in the coming months....

For those looking to get their hands on Second Extinction may have to wait a little bit longer, as the dinosaur co-op shooter is making its way to Steam next month for early access. The current and next-gen game will be made available on PC as Systemic Reaction gets revved up for players to start their hunting expedition. Second Extinction is described as a three-player co-op shooter where you and your team are tasked with eliminating all the dinosaurs that have roamed all over the ice-covered Earth....
We’ve all been there, staring as the claw machine you know is rigged in the arcade’s favor desperately tries and fails to cling onto that Pikachu plushie you really, really want. Attempting to beat the odds on a claw machine is a must during any arcade visit, but with their rapid decline over the past couple of decades, claw machines are becoming somewhat of a dying novelty in the West....
Although Retro gaming has always had its fans, recently it seems like the idea of re-experiencing (or experiencing for the first time) classic games is the key to major success. Nintendo drove home the idea of reliving the old classics by releasing the NES Classic and the SNES Classic and now Sega is looking to capitalize on some of that nostalgia by releasing its own mini console. At Sega FES 2018, Sega revealed a brand new, miniature Sega Genesis tentatively named the Mega Drive Mini....
Ubisoft has revealed more info about which of its titles will be backwards compatible on both PS5 and Xbox Series X/S – and it’s got a bit of bad news for future PlayStation owners. While the entire Ubisoft catalog can be played on your next-gen Xbox, a handful of Assassin’s Creed titles won’t be playable on PS5. The list is a short one, and doesn’t include the most popular Assassin’s Creed games, but it’s a surprising announcement, nonetheless....
The next event in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is going to focus on the floaty fighters, as the “Floats Like a Butterfly…” will only include lightweight characters. A character’s weight in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate plays a huge part in their competitive viability. The lighter fighters tend to be faster, but they are knocked back further when struck by attacks. As such, a fighter like Pichu might be able to zip around the battlefield, but it’s quickly going to lose stocks if it gets hit by Ganondorf’s sword....
SXSW is in full swing in Austin, Texas, and yesterday Sega was on hand to share details of what Sonic the Hedgehog is getting up to in 2017. The big news is that Sonic Mania will miss its previously announced spring 2017 release date, and will instead launch this summer. The reason behind the delay is very simple — the team needs more time to ensure that Sonic Mania meets fan expectations....

Sphere may not rank amongst elite properties sprung from the deep creative well of Michael Crichton, but the property, defined by the late author’s novel and subsequent adaptation movie, is getting revived as a peak television offering from HBO, which, of course, already happens to house a prominent Crichton adaptation series in Westworld. HBO revealed that it is developing a Sphere series, for which it has appointed Denise Thé to serve as showrunner, writer and executive producer, bringing recent experience as an executive producer from this past spring’s third season run of Westworld....
The person behind this webcast? None other than J. Jonah Jameson — played by J.K. Simmons, the same actor who played Jameson in the three Spider-Man movies directed by Sam Raimi circa 2002-2007. Except for a change in hairstyle (meaning, none) and the famous Marvel newspaper The Daily Bugle becoming DailyBugle.net, this was essentially the same loud, brash, arrogant Jameson we knew from those movies, which starred Tobey Maguire as Spidey....
With limited resources and weapons available, players need to constantly be on the move to avoid getting overwhelmed by zombies and other creatures in the Resident Evil 2 remake. Finding new weapons is another key component, with many of them requiring players to solve a particular puzzle or reach a previously blocked off room. The Chemical Flamethrower, a powerful weapon to help take out the mutated hordes, is one of those weapons....
2020’s Resident Evil 3 remake has been much maligned for cutting out key areas from the PlayStation original, but this criticism often ignores what RE3 brings to the table. Along with greatly fleshing out the story (and giving Jill an actual character arc), Raccoon City has been redesigned to play off Resident Evil 3’s inherent penchant for action. More importantly, Carlos’ gameplay sections add some much needed survival horror into the experience – something fans forget was already missing in the PS1 release....
With the arrival of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles, video games are starting to get more expensive. Some publishers have been experimenting with a $10 price increase for video game software, the first major price jump in well over a decade. Many next-gen games have gone with a $69.99 price point instead of the usual $59.99, and it’s expected that $69.99 will eventually become the norm. One game that fans don’t have to worry about paying an extra $10 for, though, is the upcoming Resident Evil 8 from Capcom....
Resident Evil Village features an incredibly fleshed-out alternate gameplay experience, namely, Mercenaries Mode. Mercenaries mode is essentially a wave-based, horde mode with increasingly difficult enemies from across the Resident Evil Village solo gameplay experience. Mercenaries mode provides a more frenetic and arcade-style gameplay feel with scoring, upgradeable weapons, and quick, pick-up-and-play action. If you have thoroughly been enjoying Mercenaries mode and are ready for similar gameplay experiences, then this list will provide some excellent choices for your to try out....
