Riot wants to add a replay system to VALORANT so that players can review their strats and also so they can turn them into shareable gifs. In competitive games, replay is essential. It lets you review the last few moments of gameplay to figure out what you did wrong, what you did right, and what you should change for next time. It lets you figure out how your opponent outsmarted you and, depending on how it’s implemented, replays can also reveal potential cheaters....

This Riverdale review contains spoilers. Riverdale Season 2 Episode 5 Okay, pick your jaw off of the floor and breathe, because that was one exhilarating, eventful hour of television. We are only five episodes in to this 22-episode season and the glacial pace that marked Riverdale‘s first season is but a memory at this point, because there’s a lot that went down tonight. Before we get into the meat and potatoes of tonight’s installment, a brief recap: The Black Hood tortures Betty by making her cut her friends out of her life unless he will murder them (she subsquently breaks up with Jughead and BFF Veronica in the harshest manner possible), Alice Cooper is revealed to be what she hates the most — a Southsider, Jughead officially joins the Serpents AND gets a tattoo AND goes all Fight Club AND makes out with Toni, most of our main characters get high on Jingle Jangle, Nick St....

Coming fresh off of the announcement of a February 1 update bringing Fennec Decals and a revamped esports Shop, the online multiplayer game is bringing fans a huge new collaboration. The Super Bowl is undoubtedly one of the biggest annual sporting events in the U....

Now streaming World of Warcraft Classic on Facebook Gaming, Ronda Rousey continues her weird relationship with the gaming world. Although it isn’t uncommon for professional athletes to jump into the gaming community, Rousey has been taking a stab at it from multiple angles. In early 2019, she voice-acted as Sonya Blade for Mortal Kombat XI, to mixed fan reactions. Now, she is diving into the world of streaming. Calling her channel “The Baddest Stream On The Planet,” she’s clearly put effort into the quality of her broadcasts....

Apex Legends is currently in Season 6 and dataminers have been hard at work trying to figure out what could be coming next in Season 7. The Apex Legends Fight or Fright event started yesterday and with it, new animations and a new charm have popped up in game files. Based on these additions, many believe that big changes could be coming in Season 7. Reliable dataminer “Shrugtal” was able to find a quest completion reward, which is a legendary charm that appears to be a hover vehicle with a driver’s seat and two passenger seats on the side....

Call of Duty: Warzone has no doubt taken the world of battle royale by storm, but there is one thing which has been missing from it since the very beginning: private matches. Most Call of Duty games have this feature, allowing players to explore maps or play with custom rules, but Warzone never did. Now, rumor has it that Activision and Infinity Ward will be adding this feature via an update coming in the near future, and fan support for this idea is through the roof....

The next generation of gaming consoles is on its way, with Nintendo’s Wii U leading the pack and Sony and Microsoft sure to be not far behind. Although the Wii U does seem a bit closer to a definite release date, it appears as though the competition may already be getting ready for the next stage of the console wars. Microsoft in particular looks to be gearing up for next-gen, as there is now a rumor circulating that the hardware for their next console is being manufactured now....

Food, glorious food! You won’t get far in Rust without a handful of Mushrooms, at least to begin with. As a survival game, Rust pushes the player to keep their healing, calories, and hydration up, without falling sick with poison or starving to death. To stay competitive in Rust you need to make sure your stamina is up, so you can sprint into or away from danger, and provide a bit of health regen during the middle of a fight....

Disney was among the last studios to fully give up on theatrical releases for 2020, first by pushing Black Widow and Eternals to 2021; and shortly after completely removing any potential release dates for Free Guy and Death on the Nile, the company’s last two films that were scheduled for release in 2020. However, on the back of its news-packed annual investor briefing, Disney also quietly rescheduled some of these films with new 2021 release dates....

“Always on DRM” is a phrase PC gamers have learned to fear after the plethora of Ubisoft games that have included the anti-piracy measure. As it turns out, one of the PC’s most iconic franchises - S.T.A.L.K.E.R - may require always on DRM in its sequel, S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2. Sergey Grigorovich, president of GSC Gameworld, the developer of S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, said in a recent interview that the decision to use always on DRM is, like always, a method to combat piracy....

Warning: contains spoilers for Doctor Who series 12 episode 1: Spyfall, Sherlock series 4, Line Of Duty series 2, and Iron Fist season 2. Had actor Sacha Dhawan not been in such high demand in recent years, he might have missed out on his current choice role in Doctor Who series 12. Dhawan was originally approached by Who executive producer Matt Strevens about playing a different part in series 11 (guesses on the back of a postcard to Den Of Geek Towers please), but was unable to accept due to filming commitments elsewhere....

Samsung announced the Galaxy S21 FE, in early 2022 during CES. The device succeeds the Galaxy S20 FE and sits below the Galaxy S21 in terms of price, whilst offering many of the same features. We’ve compared how the Galaxy S21 FE and the Galaxy S20 FE differ in a separate feature, but here we are focusing on how the Galaxy S21 FE stacks up against the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+....

UPDATE: GamesIndustry.biz now reports that Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman’s Electronic Games Development Company will purchase a further 18% of SNK shares in the future, bringing total ownership up to 51%–a controlling interest in SNK. The original story follows. On October 2, 2018, Washington Post journalist and political dissident Jamal Khashoggi entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. He was lured there under the pretense of obtaining official documents for his upcoming wedding, but instead, he was ambushed by Saudi assassins who tortured, suffocated, and then dismembered Khashoggi’s body....

This Shameless review contains spoilers. Shameless Season 11 Episode 3 “Gender’s a social construct.” Shameless is a series that’s always been very interested in how its Chicago neighborhood influences its characters. Coming as a remake from a UK series, Shameless’s new environment becomes one of its most important changes. This series constantly labels characters and tells them what they can and cannot do, while this perception internalizes and festers. This final season has taken an even greater interest in these themes and “Frances Francis Franny Frank” specifically filters them through gender norms....

Ah, Wonder Woman, an iconic heroine with a history so long, she might be the only woman that both your dad and granddad fantasized about when they were growing up. These days she’s the beautiful and powerful female role model of the DC cinematic universe and comic books, but her history hasn’t always been so squeaky clean. Indeed, with a history as long as hers, it would be weird not to have a few swerves here and there....

For many games, longevity is commonly a bumper sticker claim from developers, but rarely do they experience the type of relevancy that Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has seen over the past decade. With the ten year anniversary of Skyrim coming up in 2021, it’s important to look back and understand what made the game so successful. Beyond having great gameplay and story, Skyrim is a perfect example of how community is just as important to a game’s lifespan....
