Now, many players are busy pursuing Risk of Rain 2’s character unlocks and advancing through its levels. While doing so, these players are likely to encounter a number of the game’s mysteries, including the gold orb. What is Risk of Rain 2’s Gold Orb Risk of Rain 2’s gold orb is an object that can be spawned by giving money to an Altar of Gold, a structure that players may encounter as they play through the game....

A gamer is only as good as his/her mouse, but not everyone is able (or willing) to break the bank to get one specifically designed for gaming. With that in mind, Roccat has released the Lua Tri-Button Gaming Mouse, with a goal of packing precision movement into a simple shell, styled for the modern gamer. But in the effort to bring a compact mouse in at a small price tag, has Roccat missed the mark with the Lua?...

The first new playable character, Flux, has been added to Rocket Arena, and is quickly becoming popular in lobbies and matches. Flux has a great backstory, coming from Propulsion Prep, and is taking a break from her scientific studies to try out her inventions in the field. Science is always better when applying inventions to rockets and hurtling them towards enemies. In the video below, Flux gameplay is shown on Hypersonic Heights demonstrating this young inventor in action....

Now more details about Konami’s Silent Hill plans have leaked online, pointing to multiple new projects in the works at the company.

About a couple of months ago, a report from VentureBeat’s Jeff Grubb asserted that the next installment in the Battlefield franchise will be set during World War II as another main entry in the long-running first-person shooter series. Following this, a supposed leak of information from roughly mid-February has gained traction online by sharing a slew of details about the forthcoming sequel that potentially unveils its content such as classes, maps, combat, and much more....

Jagex is making the grind a bit easier to bear over the next few days, as a Double XP event is now live in Runescape until November 16. And, for the first time ever, the event includes the new Archaeology skill, letting you channel your inner Indiana Jones and dig through the Orthen ruins. While the event runs until November 16, you’re limited to 48 hours of Double XP time – so be wise about your AFK skilling....

More and more platforms are snapping up exclusive content each and every day. Whether it’s Netflix renewing for the latest season of Stranger Things or Roku buying up the rights to all of the content abandoned by Quibi, it seems the most important thing any streaming platform can do is to secure the rights to something that makes it stand out from the crowd, which Ryan Reynolds aims to do with his latest venture....

The new device boasts a bigger 6.9 inch screen, faster Snapdragon processor, and the lowest latency pen yet, making it the most powerful smartphone that money can buy.

Daphne was never my favorite character in Scooby-Doo. Each character had a “thing” that made them unique from the others. Scooby was the cowardly dog, Shaggy was the cowardly best friend of Scooby with a never-ending appetite, Velma was the genius or the group, and Fred was the ascot-wearing leader. Compared the them, Daphne seemed unappealing. What was Daphne’s “thing?” She was the fashionably pretty damsel in distress. That appeared to be her only “thing....

The third tall tale of Season 3 in Sea of Thieves is called Captains of the Damned and it will take you another adventure with Jack Sparrow. You will be blown away by the amount of scenery you experience as you travel through several different areas during this adventure. It is one of the most involved tall tales of the series, and possibly even the best of them all. There is so much to see and do, especially if you want to complete all of the commendations....

The Coalition releases short teaser videos showing what happens when a player scores a kill with the new and gory Dropshot weapon during a Gears of War 4 multiplayer beta match. Microsoft and The Coalition are starting to ramp up the marketing campaign for Gears of War 4 in advance of the first beta test that kicks off next week. After recently debuting a new CG trailer showing the family link between Marcus Fenix and the new lead character JD, The Coalition has begun to tease the fanbase by revealing short clips of brutal new weapons in action....

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice presents a number of significant challenges to overcome, such as learning how to beat Lady Butterfly in the game’s early stages. This level of difficulty means that players will need to put some serious time and effort toward progressing through the title, but an unfortunate issue is forcing unlucky players to start back at square one. It is thus advisable for PC players to take extra care when exiting the game....

The REACT YouTube channel has posted a brand new video related to Star Wars Battlefront, featuring elders playing 30 minutes of first-person shooter’s Supremacy mode with the only thing to guide them being a quick primer on the controls. As is to be expected, the senior citizens take to the gameplay like a cinder block to water, for not only do they lack the comprehension of the PS4 controller, but they also don’t really understand exactly what Star Wars Battlefront is on the whole....

Silicon Knights, the Canadian studio who created Too Human, saw their first video game release in three years in September with X-Men: Destiny. Partnering with Activision for the first non-movie-based X-Men games didn’t work out for the developer as it was slammed with negative critical reviews. Now, Silicon Knights may be suffering from financial woes as inside sources indicate that the developer is being hit with massive layoffs. Since our review of X-Men: Destiny went up only yesterday, is it partially our fault?...

Anyone holding out hope that Six Days in Fallujah, the resurrected military shooter about the 2004 Fallujah massacre, would tackle its subject matter with any kind of care should give up now. According to the game’s creator Peter Tamte, he and his team aren’t interested in political commentary about the event and are looking to simply create a video game. It’s like that old argument Ubisoft loves to pull out despite co-opting political imagery for every game it releases....

It finally happened: there’s a Minecraft character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. For some this was an inevitable event. Minecraft is the best selling video game of all time, after all. For others it’s a baffling decision - how does a kid-friendly building game fit into the most epic fighter of all time? Pretty well, it turns out. Sakurai managed to turn Minecraft’s creation-oriented mechanics into a delightful moveset, albeit one that requires precise planning on the player’s part....

The inconsistency of Cyberpunk 2077 has been one many gamers have honed in on since the launch of the game. From tons of content being cut before launch to the overwhelmingly poor last-gen console experience, the Cyberpunk 2077 community is split between appreciating the game for what it is and demanding it be fixed and the content restored. Since its release, Cyberpunk 2077 has seen a host of mods from the community designed to improve the player experience, or at the very least, make it extremely entertaining....

It’s no secret that Minecraft offers an almost unmatched level of creativity that lets players do nearly anything. It’s so powerful that the Tomb Raider 2 director is building his film sets in Minecraft, while Rock the Vote is even using it to educate young people about the American political process. Those are more real-world applications for Minecraft, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used for epic personal projects. Reddit user Branman1234 is a lover of both Skyrim and Minecraft, and he’s spent the last four years combining the two in this epic recreation of the Nord lands in Mojang’s blocky world....

The PlayStation 5 could be quite a bit harder to get a hold of at launch, as reports suggest Sony plans to make as many as 1.5 million fewer units compared to the PlayStation 4. The world might feel pretty chaotic and unpredictable right now, but Sony appears to have a handle on things. At least that’s the image it is trying to project. The launch of its PlayStation 5 is slated to take place before the end of 2020, but many were expecting a delay to be announced....
