The Isle of Armor DLC for Pokémon Sword & Shield is now available and many fans have been left underwhelmed. The expansion has some interesting elements, like the new Wild Area and Restricted Sparring battles, but there also isn’t much in the way of new content. The Pokémon that have been added to the game can be traded to Pokémon Sword & Shield without needing to buy the Expansion Pass through Pokémon Home and the new story mode can be finished in a few short hours....

Last year, Fallout 76’s Wild Appalachia update added Purveyor Murmrgh, a legendary vendor, to Bethesda’s multiplayer RPG. Since then, the Purveyor has been comfortably located at the Berkeley Springs Station, but that has all changed with the recent launch of the Wastelanders update. Indeed, Fallout 76’s Purveyor has a new location in Wastelanders, and this guide will shine light on where players will be visiting this vendor from here forward....

Superman is the most recognizable American icon of the 20th Century. The character has appeared in every medium: film serials, radio dramas, animated shows, blockbuster movies, video games – and oh, yeah, comics. Like a mythical figure, Superman has been reimagined for various adaptations, such as 1993-1997’s Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which is essentially a workplace romance-comedy with occasional supervillains. In that tradition, a new CW series will show Superman and Lois Lane (ironically as a spin-off of Supergirl, which will be finishing soon) as a domestic couple returning to his home-town of Smallville....

What am I, a crystal ball? Well, no, but I am a trained media professional and I have some insight into what the future of Bridgerton, Netflix’s period romance hit, might look like. In a recent interview, Bridgerton showrunner Chris Van Dusen told Collider: “This being a family of eight children and there being eight books, I would love to be able to focus and really tell stories and love stories for all the Bridgerton siblings....

Rumors surround Rockstar Games that they may be in talks with both Microsoft and Sony to bring cross-play to Read Dead Redemption 2. E3 has come and gone, but with it seems to be the beginning of a new era of cross-network compatibility.

The 35th-anniversary celebrations for the Super Mario Bros. series will include Super Mario 3D All-Stars, which may impact the chances of Nintendo 64 games coming to Switch Online in the future. Nintendo launched the Switch Online service on September 18, 2018, following a year of delays. Switch Online is required to play multiplayer games over the Internet and for players to have cloud saves with compatible titles. The service launched with twenty NES games, which left fans dissatisfied when comparing it to similar online game passes like PS Plus and Xbox Live....

Given how well-received the first title was, producing Wolfenstein 2 is a real no-brainer for Besthesda - and if the retail listing is accurate in its October 27 release date, fans won’t have much longer to wait for it, either. This is the second game in two days to have its release date leaked ahead of E3 2017, with Assassin’s Creed Origins also poised to launch on October 27. With companies under heavy scrutiny as they prepare massive marketing campaigns for games to be announced over the next several days, the likelihood of leaks increases drastically - and there’s a historical precedent to indicate the E3 season may not have seen its last leak yet....

Reddit user Merkwerk reveals that the upcoming World of Warcraft: Legion features a particular hooded vendor that longtime Destiny players will be very familiar with. The behemoth that is World of Warcraft is slowly nearing its 12th anniversary and to celebrate, a brand new expansion called Legion arrives later this month. Longtime antagonist Illidan Stormrage, not seen since the Burning Crusade expansion, returns to the world rumored to this time joining the players quest rather than serving as an obstacle to be overcome....

World of Warcraft is a universally known entity as a massive MMORPG that brought the genre into the twenty-first century on the back of the brilliance of Blizzard Entertainment back in late 2004. After six expansions across seventeen years, it remains as one of the most popular MMOs in terms of concurrent users with roughly 7 million players currently subscribed. Blizzard bringing about World of Warcraft Classic in mid-2019 was yet another stroke of brilliance, allowing the studio to offset the time between expansions to the standard title with the drip-feeding of expansions to the Classic title....

It’s official, Colorado fall time is here. We went from 80 degrees to half a foot of snow in a day and a half. There really is no place like Colorado. You might hear it said that if you don’t like the weather, wait ten minutes. But, what I love about this time of the year, is not just the weather and the colors and football and the like, it is Halloween....

As October comes to a close, Wizards of the Coast is taking the chance to build up to new D&D release Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything. Rime of the Frostmaiden campaigns are well underway, Curse of Strahd Revamped is on shelves and changing stereotypes, so now it’s time to turn our attention to the next major book. What better way to do that than to just show us some pages? Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything is being marketed as a follow-up to Xanathar’s Guide to Everything....

Internet sleuthing has made a great deduction: An X-Com game is in the works by 2K Games for Xbox 360 and PC, whether they want to publicly admit it or not. There were already rumors that a sequel to the longstanding tactical series was in production, but no confirmation came. 2K Boston head honcho Ken Levine publicly expressed his love for the series, mentioning he was still playing the old 2001 X-Com shooter X-Com: Enforcer....

Microsoft has launched its Creators Collections section of the Xbox One marketplace. Announced at GDC 2017, the Xbox One Creators Collection is Microsoft’s way of giving independent developers a place within the Xbox marketplace ecosystem to quickly publish their own games. It’s a faster, cheaper, and a more accessible way for small studios and solo developers to make their games available on Xbox One. It serves Microsoft’s latest effort to give developers a platform not unlike what’s available on PC....

Don’t call them hackers. Earlier this week, a group of maverick Internet users called H4LT released the entire Xbox One software development kit online. Immediately, commentators drew a connection between H4LT and Lizard Squad, the hacking organization responsible for crashing Xbox Live and PSN this Christmas. Not so fast, H4LT now says. Unlike Lizard Squad’s destructive aims, H4LT claims that their leak was designed to benefit the community. By sharing the Xbox One SDK, H4LT claims to be fostering innovation; as they put it, “Something kept between us will not achieve anything…....

With streaming services becoming the norm for media, Microsoft joined the gaming industry in creating its own streaming service for gaming, xCloud. Xbox has always had big plans for the xCloud streaming service, some of which it hasn’t been able to fulfill yet. However, more news shows this hasn’t stopped the company from pushing its plans to expand the service to other platforms, let alone Xbox consoles. Since it was released, the Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer has stated Xbox’s ambitions for xCloud have included bringing the service to players across as many devices as possible....

As part of Sega’s annual report for 2020 covering the lifetime sales of its games, the company has publicly stated that the Yakuza series has amassed 14 million sales across all titles. This is a rather big step up from the Yakuza series’ 11 million total sold copies reported in 2018. Part of the Yakuza franchises’ most recent success can be attributed to the last two years, when the series gained a huge spike in popularity....

The Happiest Place on Earth, Disney World, can be explored in Microsoft Flight Simulator. In the game, you can see all the major attractions like Cinderella’s Castle, Epcot, and Space Mountain. Disney website, Inside the Magic, notes that you can’t actually do this in real life, since the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Now, planes can only go 3,000 feet above Disney World and within three-miles of the Cinderella Castle....

Dead Realm has certainly made a large splash since its early access Steam debut in the beginning of August. The horror game has accumulated an estimated 70,000 purchases and has a ‘Very Positive’ Steam rating after over 1,500 reviews. A large portion of its sudden success came from its popularity with YouTube Let’s Play-ers, who recognized that the game was literally built with audiences in mind - Dead Realm is self-described to be ‘fun to watch’, and jump-scares have always been a good way to generate YouTube hits....
