One thing that we don’t want Paratope’s Skyclimbers to receive is any of those pesky Breath of the Wild comparisons. Yes, the stylish grass is becoming somewhat of an artistic choice these days, but the city-building, open-world RPG offers a unique adventure to get you in touch with nature. Currently in development, Skyclimbers is a “procedurally generated Anime-themed multiplayer metaverse” (try saying that five times fast) aimed at people who are born to be wild....

Saturday Night Live has gotten creative with recent digital sketches in this period of social distancing, and their latest sketch features a nod to the popular life simulator video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. In the parody, the sketch features a never-before-seen “Mean Mode” in this seemingly innocent children’s game. The sketch opens as a FaceTime call between cast members Melissa Villaseñor and Mikey Day. The former holds up her Animal Crossing-themed Nintendo Switch controller and asks if the latter would be interested in playing some Animal Crossing with her....

Several Battle.net users report that they were given a digital copy of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty for free upon logging into the service over the weekend. Gaming can be an expensive hobby, considering the amount of new hardware that hits the scene, and the number of must-play titles vying for our hard-earned cash. This makes the occasional freebie all the more appealing, especially when we’re talking about a complimentary copy of a critically acclaimed release like Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty....

There’s a little social media platform known as TikTok, which has managed to dish up as much creativity from users as controversy. One brilliant creation replaces a few lines of Billie Eilish’s hit Therefore I Am with the guard’s famous dialogue from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. “Stop! You’ve violated the law!” is a popular meme amongst the Oblivion community, and is also a well-known Vine; TikTok’s predecessor. Music creator lawntawn has been doing a series of posts on the social platform that replaces sections of songs with other material - much to comic effect....

In their narratives, people are heroes of their own stories. Whether we like to acknowledge it or not, we’re destined to forge independent paths that will shape the course of our lives. Some folks love that idea, while others detest it. I fall into the latter camp. For me, it’s far easier to latch onto a strong figure who can help me bring purpose to my life. I guess this is a long-winded way of saying I identify with Miles “Tails” Prower, Sonic the Hedgehog’s adoptive brother and loyal sidekick....

Although the Souls series has developed a strong and dedicated fan base known for their love of challenging combat and darkly fantastic worlds, the franchise didn’t always start out that way. In fact, well before the Dark Souls trilogy, there was a unique PlayStation exclusive title that some at Sony felt might not have a strong appeal. Demon’s Souls was the game that kicked off the Souls series, put FromSoftware on the map, and established a genre of game that is now so ubiquitous with the franchise that most unofficially call similar games “Soulslikes....

There’s been plenty of buzz surrounding Spider-Man 3 (no, not that one. Not that other one either.) The upcoming sequel to Spider-Man: Far From Home has drawn the eyes of many due to rumors that it will bring back old faces for a team-up potentially on the level of the critically acclaimed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Well, it looks like those were more than just rumors. Following official news that Alfred Molina would be returning to reprise his role as Doctor Octopus from 2004’s Spider-Man 2, it now turns out that Kirsten Dunst is reportedly returning as Mary Jane Watson from the same set of films....

One of the most frustrating things in Spyro: Reignited Trilogy is when players are missing just one gem or two in a level, and no matter how long they search for them, can never seem to find them. Oftentimes red and green gems will blend in with the ground, which makes finding missing gems even more difficult. Luckily, there is a trick players can use to make finding gems in Spyro: Reignited Trilogy much easier, and it can be done in all three remade games....

A couple of months removed from its launch, and it’s hard to label Resident Evil 7 as anything other than a major success for Capcom. To celebrate the game’s strong sales and positive reviews, Capcom has decided to release a multi-part video series detailing the development of the game. In the first part of the video series, some of the game’s key developers reveal some surprising details about its development and some elements that were cut during production, like the Baker family’s dog Diane....

Resident Evil 7 was a refreshing change of pace and an immediate hit for both Capcom and its players. Regardless, it still didn’t seem like something fans wanted long-term. This could very well be the case for future titles too, given recent rumors surrounding the allegedly-titled Resident Evil 8: Village. Conceptually, Resident Evil 7 was built to breathe life into the Resident Evil saga. The series had grown a bit stale since the release of Resident Evil 5 with a decreasing emphasis on horror in exchange for a greater focus on action....

Resident Evil Village has fans excited in more ways than one. The core gameplay is already looking to be delightfully scary based off of the PS5-exclusive Maiden demo, but beyond that, the brand new character of Lady Dimitrescu has struck a chord with fans. Capcom has caught onto this character’s fittingly enormous popularity and released a statement revealing her height. While Lady Dimitrescu was teased earlier in the marketing cycle of the game, her popularity reached new heights after the recent Resident Evil Showcase gave her some major screentime....

Minor spoilers for Resident Evil “Maiden.” We all want to be stepped on by Resident Evil Village’s Lady Dimitrescu (whose name was revealed by official Capcom art,) but we really don’t know much about the woman behind the stilettos. We know that she lives with a coven of hooded murder witches and that she has a penchant for kidnapping people, but her backstory is a bit murky. But while actual details about the antagonist might be sparse, it’s useful to look at other aspects of Lady Dimitrescu to figure out more about her....

As compensation for a tumultuous Grand Theft Auto Online launch week, Rockstar Games has promised to give games a $500,000 “stimulus package” to help with their multiplayer exploits. However, that stimulus is being put on hold until Rockstar can work out a few more kinks in the online multiplayer experience. After Rockstar issued the second update for Grand Theft Auto Online — the one that helped restore players’ missing cash, characters, and vehicles — things seemed to have returned to normal....

It’s no big secret that Bethesda Games Studios takes its time when creating new games. The studio’s last major release came all the way back in 2011 with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim though for fans of Bethesda’s other big franchise, Fallout, the wait has been even longer. Fallout 4 seems to be the big secret that everyone knows about these days. With E3 2015 quickly approaching, fans are expecting Bethesda to announce the next entry in the incredibly popular post-apocalyptic franchise during its first ever press conference....

With Red Dead Redemption 2 in the rear-view mirror, fans of Rockstar Games have been looking forward to what’s next from the award-winning studio. As a result, rumors have been appearing online about the unannounced Grand Theft Auto 6, which some believe will be the next title from Rockstar. Most of the rumors have focused on the game’s potential setting, but one has teased what fans may expect from the next iteration of GTA Online....

High resolution images of Liberty City surface, sparking speculation that Grand Theft Auto Online may release a new expansion set in the popular GTA locale. A recent addition to an artist’s portfolio has Grand Theft Auto fans running wild with speculation. The images in question feature a high-resolution version of infamous Grand Theft Auto locale Liberty City on display, and is reportedly the work of a Rockstar Games artist. The artist in question is Adrian Page, but it’s unclear if this is the same Adrian Page who reportedly works for Rockstar Games as an artist....

After years and years of rumors, hints and desperation, every new story about a possible Half-Life 3 leak or confirmation now carries a natural edge of weary humor and cynicism to it. Few games have ever been so highly anticipated for so long - with so little solid evidence of their potential existence to go on. Really, this is a testament to just how truly excellent the Half-Life series has been so far....

Our quick take Samsung NX20 - 4.0 / 5 Wi-Fi Hi-Fi i-Function Design Performance: Slow Processing Wi-Fi To recap The NX20 is a decent compact system camera with its relative highs and lows. If sports or fast action are your thing then the fast - but not fastest - autofocus and slow processing times will be off-putting. But landscape photographers and the like will love the 20.3-megapixel sensor’s image quality, there are plenty of good lenses on offer and the vari-angle screen, built-in EVF and decent design otherwise make this one cracker of a camera....
