How these games even pass a playtest is beyond comprehension. Supposedly forms of art, some games out there are simply just fruit duct-taped to a wall. From horrendous gameplay, bugs and glitches, to cringe-worthy acting, these games define the essence of ‘rip-off.’ However, to award, or in this case, lambaste the absolute ‘Worst Game Ever’ would be difficult. Every bad game is horrible in its own way. With that being said, here are the worst-rated games by Metacritic for each major category of gaming....

For the last several months, Xbox has had quite a lot on its plate.

It has been a busy month for Microsoft and Sony, both announcing the prices of their upcoming next-gen consoles. After Sony announced the prices for the PlayStation 5 at the PS5 Showcase event, the pre-ordering process was scrambled, many retail sites were overloaded with users, and some customers were unable to secure the PlayStation 5 pre-order. The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are expected to sell out extremely fast so fans may want to make sure they are on the retailer website the minute it launches....

UPDATE: The following article has been updated with comments from YouTube on the issue. There has been friction between YouTube and its content creators for several months now, with many critical over the way in which videos have been demonetized over content that is not advertiser-friendly, with Call of Duty video makers heavily affected.

I continue to be amazed by Whirlwind FX and the proprietary engine the company has created to power its keyboards. The first Whirlwind keyboard I saw was the Element at PAX East 2020. There, Whirlwind FX had linked 20 or so keyboards together and hung them up on a wall. Above them, a monitor played Youtube videos. Whatever happened on screen would be reflected on the array of keyboards in bright, vivid colors....

February has long been known as a romantic month thanks to Valentine’s Day, but the month is also known as “Creative Romance Month.” One franchise that’s known for its creative romance storylines is BioWare’s Mass Effect series. Players could romance humans and aliens just the same, but some storylines stand out above others in the sci-fi RPG. Though the first Mass Effect game only had three romantic options available, Mass Effect 2 opened up the door for a lot of other romance options that players had requested....

This Cobra Kai article contains no spoilers for season 5. One of the many elements that makes Cobra Kai work is its sense of poetic parallelism. Some might simplify this to well laid Easter eggs, but it’s an aesthetic device akin to literary symmetry, layered screenwriting that elegantly fuses storytelling and homage. For example, in The Karate Kid Part III, Sensei Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) sent Sensei John Kreese (Martin Kove) away to Tahiti where he got bodywork from shadowy Tahitian gals....

Even though Insomniac’s Spider-Man broke multiple sales records for both Sony and Marvel, the satisfying web-slinger has been slightly underappreciated when compared to games like God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2. Much like Horizon Zero Dawn in 2017, Insomniac received no awards at this year’s Game Awards, despite it being nominated in numerous categories. The lack of awards was completely unexpected due to the overwhelming amount of praise fans have given it....

It’s been a little more than two years since Battle for Azeroth released and, despite the fact that that the next World of Warcraft expansion is releasing before the end of the year, many players are still healing from the savage start to the current War Campaign. When Sylvanas Windrunner burned down the city of Teldrassil many players, both Horde and Alliance, felt an incredible sense of loss. The iconic location was home to many Night Elves and the destruction of the dark lady burned the entire zone off of the map for level 110 or higher players....

Although not many games. can get away with a standalone subscription model at this point, World of Warcraft still manages to get tons of gamers to shell out roughly $14 per month to remain active in Azeroth.
