If there’s anything more fearsome in Warcraft aside from its characters, it’s their roster of extremely powerful weapons. Similar to other fantasy universes, Azeroth has its fair share of powerful beings, artifacts, weapons, and even armor for its heroes and villains. However, World of Warcraft further expands on these concepts by highlighting their origins and even letting players wield some of them as their personal items! As such, Blizzard’s famous IP perhaps has some of the most famed fictional weapons to ever grace the history of gaming....

The World of Warcraft: Shadowlands pre-patch has finally arrived, bringing class and gameplay changes to replace old systems ahead of the expansion release. Furthermore, the much awaited level squish has also happened which has reduced the current max level from 120 down to 50. While brand new players always have a set course from the Exile’s Reach starting zone into Battle for Azeroth content, veteran heroes can pick how they want to level up thanks to Chromie Time....

Last year, Disney Plus announced a partnership with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, allowing those subscribed to Microsoft’s flagship service a 30-day free trial to the streaming platform. The deal expired at the end of January, leading many to believe that it was merely a cross-promotional offer to help market The Mandalorian’s second season and entice more players to sign up to Game Pass. However, it seems Disney and Microsoft are still working together to help market their platforms, with the pair releasing an ad today that promotes The Falcon and the Winter Solider and Game Pass....

Many Xbox players have been looking forward to announcements about the new Xbox console and upcoming games, yet it seems that fans can still get quality offers on Xbox Live at the moment. A post by Twitter user Wario64, who frequently contributes to gaming news and discourse, has revealed that a well-received game is freely available. It is currently unclear why the title has suddenly become free to download, but some are speculating that the offer may be indicative of a partnership between Warner Bros....

Part of the PlayStation 4’s major success has been its initially lower price point than the Xbox One. While the Xbox One started at $500 with a mandatory Kinect sensor many people didn’t want, the PlayStation 4 started at $400 and has stayed there ever since. However, Microsoft has made strides since, making the Kinect optional, and lowering the Xbox One’s price to $399 and then $350. Sony has shown no signs of following suit until recently, but their biggest competitor thinks they may soon be changing their prices....

As we all know, when new consoles are released, it can take some considerable time to get gamers on board. There will always be the early adopters, but there will always be the skeptics too. It’s totally reasonable, after all, to want to wait a while for a big exclusive killer app, before jumping on board. Early in the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One’s lifespans, this was a real concern. It was a hefty upgrade, and it sported a hefty price tag to make....

Due to a high price caused by the mandatory Kinect add-on, the Xbox One got off to a slow start, trailing behind the PlayStation 4. But since offering standalone Xbox One consoles, Microsoft has successfully managed to boost the console’s numbers. For example, the console has received a price cut across two key territories – the United States and the UK – and from now until June 27, customers who buy an Xbox One in the United States will be able to pick any free Xbox One game of their choice....

Scalpers attempting to resell PS5 and Series X consoles at astronomical prices are being tricked by customers sick of putting up with wildly inflated prices. Some scalpers have reportedly driven hours to make a sale – only to be met with disappointment when nobody else shows up. Scalping is always an issue in the world of gaming, especially around the release of new consoles. Things were particularly bad in 2020, as almost all PS5 and Series X sales were done online – a place where bots could quickly buy out inventory before anyone else could get in and make a purchase....

With less than a month to go until Microsoft launches its own next-generation consoles with the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series Y, some embargoes regarding the hardware and games are starting to lift. Part of the excitement surrounding the new systems are their ability to play games from the previous generation and even boost them with technical and visual improvements. Recently, a preview embargo for Gears 5 has expired leading to new information about how the Xbox One game will look and feel on next generation hardware....

I’m not here to campaign against violent video games, as I’ve played and loved a whole host of them. But I will say that it would be cool if we could see some more explorative, non-violent games made. Sometimes it’s nice to play a game with that sense of wonder, get immersed in a story, participate is meaningful dialogue—without having to worry about taking down evil or fighting to survive. Though there are certainly more combat-based explorative games, there are some great non-violent ones out there that still have the open-world feel and involve exploration....

At this point in time, there may be more hype for the reworked ‘Snyder Cut’ of Justice League than there even was for the original film, and DC FanDome has seen fit to keep that hype alive. During a short panel featuring Snyder and several cast members, the director took the opportunity to answer questions and extend his gratitude towards the fans that campaigned for the Snyder Cut’s release. The Snyder Cut may just be one of the most hotly anticipated pieces of media among hardcore DC cinematic universe fans, so it was unsurprising to see a panel just for Zack Snyder’s new cut at DC’s FanDome....

In the 17 years since Jon Favreau’s Elf swept into theaters and became an instant Christmas movie classic, the conversation around the song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” has evolved. A lot. Once, and still in some quarters, a holiday season standard, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” doesn’t see a December pass without a new think piece saying the song needs to be retired due to its questionable lyrics. Yet no one thinks that about Will Ferrell and Zooey Deschanel’s sweet chemistry in Elf....
