Genshin Impact is a dynamic RPG with party members that feel like real people, not NPCs giving automatic responses. One way these characters stay alive in the mind of the player is by having individual birthdays each month, where they have special letters and dishes they send to the traveler.

It’s often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Grand Theft Auto has learned this after setting all kinds of industry standards for lawless, chaotic, and irreverent action-adventure games. Many other have imitated it over the years, and some have even found ways to parody it. Apparently, that art hasn’t gone anywhere, because Rustler is one of the clearest Grand Theft Auto parodies in some time. However, Rustler stands out because it isn’t just another game about tough but amusing criminals making a name for themselves....

Replication is the name of the game when it comes to horror. It’s so hard to scare people…genuinely scare them, that if an idea works once, its creators have little choice but to try it again. That’s how you get a movie landscape dominated by sequels, reboots, and remakes like Halloween Kills, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. Even with the knowledge that horror franchises are self-perpetuating machines, however, there’s one horror imprint whose continued existence is rather surprising....

Fortnite Battle Royale continues to get regular updates which add brand new game modes with varying rules as well as new weapons which shake up the meta and new cosmetics for players to deck their characters out in.

With Gamescom over and the Tokyo Games Show just around the corner, we are getting a steady release of gaming related news and content. The transition to a digital event was reasonably smooth for Gamescom, with a few minor hiccups, and showed that streamed presentations can still capture the excitement of large scale live shows.

World of Warcraft has steadily evolved for years, with player characters growing and changing as time presses on. For some accounts, that growth may have taken place over the last decade, though a new bug is currently causing some pretty major setbacks for players. Blizzard is working on a fix, though, so fans shouldn’t panic too much if they get hit with the issue. Right now, players on World of Warcraft’s Khadgar server are getting hit with a glitch that reverts account progress by 10 years, putting some characters back in the same state they were in during the Cataclysm expansion while completely removing others....

As it turns out, while the official announcement of the Xbox Series S occurred less than a week ago, fans have been seeing the console for quite some time during digital event segments featuring Phil Spencer. Back in July, Phil Spencer was a part of the Spanish digital event Gamelab Live 2020 where he was interviewed regarding the future of Xbox.
