After launching three consoles within the last twenty years, Microsoft is preparing to shake things up considerably with its fourth Xbox, the Xbox Series X. That includes going into the next console generation with a rather different approach to how it will bring forth the next generation of games, one that promises to provide it with the best selection of Xbox launch titles to date. During an interview with Polygon, Xbox Chief Phil Spencer stressed how Microsoft’s key focus with the XSX is providing players with a greater degree of choice....

Last month, Microsoft surprised the gaming world with the announcement that it had acquired Bethesda Softworks for the price of $7.5 billion. It seemed that the gauntlet had been thrown down in the upcoming console wars between the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5, which both launch in November. In a recent interview, Phil Spencer, the current Executive Vice President of Gaming at Microsoft, revealed that the Bethesda acquisition won’t be the last for the company....

Developer Playtonic has announced it will soon be updating Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair to make its titular lair a little more possible. For those unaware, the main hook to the wordily titled game is that players can either attempt to thwart the end-game challenge from the start or build up defenses to make it a little easier. Even with extra health, the “Impossible Lair” lives up to its name with no checkpoints....

With the four-hour epic that is Zack Snyder’s Justice League still fresh in our minds, news of an even darker version has us excited all over again. It has been officially confirmed that the Snyder Cut will be receiving a black and white edition - and we thought that the film couldn’t get any more dramatic. The Snyder Cut has become somewhat of a phenomenon in film history, marking an act of justice petitioned for by the fans....

Loki may be quiet on the forefront for now - preparing to release his Disney + series - but that didn’t stop him from being the source of inspiration for another project. Hades composer Darren Korb - who is also the voice behind the game’s protagonist Zagreus - recently confirmed that Loki himself Tom Hiddleston was one of the influences behind finding the voice for Hades’ son. During a recent interview with TheGamer, Korb revealed that the British actor’s portrayal of the Norse God was a source of inspiration....

What Does To The Best Of My Knowledge (TTBOMK) Mean? The abbreviation TTBOMK, meaning “to the best of my knowledge,” is a common type of Internet or text messaging slang where the abbreviated form is simpler to type into a mobile touchscreen keyboard or other limited device input.

In 2017, in the wake of an underperforming Mass Effect: Andromeda, BioWare announced its intent to put the Mass Effect series on hold indefinitely. This news was particularly disheartening in light of rumors of a forthcoming Mass Effect Trilogy remaster that had been circulating on the internet for several years. It was disappointing, though not fully unexpected in light of major challenges at BioWare. Parent company Electronic Arts had recently enlisted some BioWare employees to help support studio EA Motive’s then-forthcoming release, Star Wars: Battlefront II....

The end of 2020 will signal the beginning of the next generation of console. Sony has confirmed the release of the PlayStation 5, and Microsoft will release the Xbox Series X. Despite the uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 outbreak, both developers remain confident that each console will hit the market on time. And so will begin the next chapter of the great console war. Which console takes an early lead in that war could well depend on how each one implements backward compatibility....

It’s safe to say that Bethesda had quite the showing at E3 2018, from showing off more of Rage 2, revealing Starfield, and confirming rumors about Fallout 76 being an online experience. The studio even announced The Elder Scrolls 6, though the company later stated it is very early in the development process. It has now been revealed why the studio announced the game even though it’s only in pre-production....

Nuzlockes are an excellent way of making revisiting old Pokemon games worthwhile. While we might know maps like Hoenn and Unova like the back of our hand, being forced to adhere to a strict ruleset where you can only catch the first Pokemon you encounter in each location makes for some fascinating scenarios. However, the more Nuzlockes you do, the more tried-and-tested tricks you pick up. For example, any Nuzlocker worth their salt knows that getting Magikarp as early as possible is the surest way to make life a whole lot easier for yourself....

The team of heroes in Marvel’s Avengers contains many heavy hitters from both the comics and the MCU, but the exclusion of The Punisher is a missed opportunity. Frank Castle has been a beloved Marvel character for almost fifty years, and the troubled antihero has often stepped in to help during times of great need. Armed To The Teeth And Tough As Nails Strictly speaking, The Punisher has no superhuman abilities to aid him in combat....

This holiday season, one of the few bright spots for families unable to go to theaters—and even those who did—was Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 1984. An ambitious and vibrantly colored celebration of heroism in all its forms, including those that don’t end in fistfights, it’s a superhero movie that’s won as many fans as detractors. But while basking in the new spectacle is well and good, it’s also worth considering how it came to be....

Halo 6 was surprisingly absent at last year’s E3 event, but many fans are expecting the game to make an appearance during Microsoft’s press conference this coming June. In the meantime, we still know next to nothing about Halo 6, but a recent job listing suggests that it could feature virtual reality content of some kind. Halo 6 developer 343 Industries is hiring a Creative Director to help the studio create a virtual reality experience set in the Halo universe....

While virtual reality is becoming increasingly popular, neither of the two biggest players - the Oculus Rift or Sony’s Project Morpheus - are close to releasing yet. Oculus reportedly has plans for a small, limited launch next summer to test the waters, while Project Morpheus is still in development. Sony has been making the rounds with their VR headset, however, with its most recent showing at the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2014; and it appears to be delivering on its promises so far....

One of the great things about the PC version of Minecraft (and the PC versions of most games) is how easily fans can create mods, skins, and other game alterations to share with the community. The creative world of Minecraft has always been a great landscape for adding a little extra flare and the creators have attempted to bring that characteristic to the console ports with slightly less free DLC packs....
