World of Warcraft’s first expansion, The Burning Crusade, is cited by many long-term WoW fans as the series’ height, expanding on WoW with new races, raids, and locations, without undermining the core principles of Vanilla. With World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic set to take players back to Outland later this year, many veteran WoW fans will be excited to return to the expansion, while many newer players will be curious to see what all the hype is about....

Video game developer Code Club AB recently took to the Wurm Online forum to post the company’s roadmap plan for the future of the game now that its Steam launch has proven successful. In the roadmap, Code Club specifically outlines work that still needs to be done, including tutorial improvements, UI improvements, combat overhaul, exploration updates, construction improvements, overall sound and visual enhancements, and multiple future major content updates. Wurm Online launched onto Steam this past July 24, 14 years after its original online launch....

Although the PS4 and Xbox One initially launched with some key features missing, the consoles have slowly but surely begun to become more competent media devices. Moreover, the consoles have done their best to match their next closest competition: the PC. Obviously, matching the PC in terms of power is almost impossible, but the PS4 and Xbox One can at least mimic that platform’s feature set. For years, the PC has been an easy, no frills experience and it’s about time the consoles start to catch up....

Anticipation for the Xbox Series X is steadily building as fans become keen to see its new features. The Series X will have impressive specifications alongside innovative features such as Quick Resume. However, the next-generation has showcased a unique element in the marketing of these consoles and that is the importance of social media. Going forward, it seems that Xbox intends to capitalize on this space to reach the maximum amount of consumers....

As far as the hype level for 2020 video games goes, there are not many that reached the same level as Halo Infinite, leading up to this holiday season. So when Halo Infinite was delayed, shockwaves were sent throughout the gaming world. And now, more evidence has presented itself that the delay had more ramifications than simply bumming out the fans who were highly anticipating it. Some of the first retail boxes for the Xbox Series X have surfaced, and the details are intriguing....

When Microsoft launched the Xbox One almost two years ago, the media giant included the Kinect with every console sold. Unfortunately for Microsoft, that caused the Xbox One to cost $100 more than its primary competitor, the PlayStation 4, which in turn allowed the Sony console to grab and hold the crown for highest sales for over a year. In fact, it wasn’t until Microsoft dropped the price of the Xbox One and offered Kinect-free units over the holidays that Xbox One outsold PS4....

Since the launch of the Xbox Series X, many users have actively enjoyed new quality-of-life features that were not on past platforms. These features have made the console experience more enjoyable and streamlined for many Xbox Series X owners, one of which being the quick resume feature. However, for some fans, this feature has not been the most optimized. The quick resume feature is one of the best features included on the Xbox Series X/S....

XCOM 2 first came to consoles in 2016,and quickly established itself as a technical struggle for the PS4 and Xbox One alike. It’s an incredible game, but the lengthy loading screens could test anyone’s patience. Despite recently becoming available on PS5 through the system’s backward compatibility feature, the newly current-gen system is still no match for XCOM 2’s endless load times. XCOM 2 is a strategy game where Earth has been occupied by alien forces for years....

A troubling pattern with a lot of re-releases/remasters of classic titles is that publishers are either unable to get voice actors to return or don’t even bother to make the effort. We saw this with Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition and even the Silent Hill HD Collection, to an extent. Thankfully, Nintendo won’t be making the same mistake with Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. In a video published by RogersBase, Nintendo Treehouse’s Robert Watters confirmed that the original English voice actors for both Shulk and Melia will return in Future Connected, the epilogue chapter of this Switch port....

Gems are a vital tool in Xenoblade Chronicles, allowing the party to get stronger and be able to defeat many of the strongest bosses this game can offer. Some of them may be underwhelming, but with a good combination, your party will be able to beat the hardest of monsters with little effort. One can acquire gems in many different ways, such as finding them as monster loot, as rewards for completing a quest or a section of the Collectopaedia, or by trading with an NPC....

In Artifact 2.0, you can’t buy cards. Period. So when Valve decided to take down Artifact, one of the primary complaints that players had against the game was the way it was monetized. You couldn’t get new cards from just playing the game, and instead, you had to buy card packs like you would in real life. But unlike in real life, you couldn’t trade those cards to other players to get the cards you wanted....

U.S. Paralympic swimmer Jamal Hill has big goals. “I set out upon this journey to become the LeBron James of swimming – to just become the greatest that I can be, but also the most recognized swimmer in the world,” Hill tells Den of Geek. Hill was just 10 years old when he first experienced total paralysis and was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) – a hereditary neurological condition that can result in loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation....

As one of the biggest flagship properties for Microsoft, Halo has always been a go-to franchise for Xbox owners. Whether it be the rich universe and lore that surrounds the characters on-screen or the action-packed combat, all kinds of players have come to love the Master Chief and the crazy missions he often finds himself tasked with. Of course, gamers will once again be able to anticipate that formula in the forthcoming Halo 5: Guardians....

This article contains Zack Snyder’s Justice League spoilers. The influence of the legendary Jack Kirby permeates almost every single aspect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But despite creating an impressive corner of the DC Comics cosmic mythology in the 1970s, his Fourth World and New Gods concepts have yet to be properly represented in live action. That, of course, changed with 2017’s Justice League movie, which saw the introduction of Steppenwolf, as well as other concepts from the Fourth World mythos such as Mother Boxes and Darkseid....

Microsoft made a surprising announcement after the company confirmed that it is in the process of acquiring ZenixMax Media, which is the parent company of Bethesda. Of course, Bethesda is known for various popular video game franchises and is set to release The Elder Scrolls 6 sometime in the future, which is why Microsoft’s purchase of it shocked the video game community. At the moment, the exact details of the acquisition are still being kept under wraps....

This What We Do in The Shadows review contains spoilers. What We Do in the Shadows Season 4 Episode 10 Guess what? We don’t have to guess what anymore. What We Do in the Shadows’ season 4 finale doesn’t give all the answers, but it breaks through walls to try.

Fortnite Season 4 has arrived, bringing a host of new additions to Epic’s smash-hit Battle Royale. The new Season has a distinctly Marvel flavor, with plenty of items, powers, and weapons based on the popular superhero franchise. There’s also a new NPC Boss, Doctor Doom, for Fortnite’s players to battle against. Bosses are tough NPC enemies that drop powerful loot or vault keys when defeated, and were first introduced to Fortnite at the beginning of Chapter Two....

The most recent patch for VALORANT hid a huge quality of life change for one of Cypher’s abilities among buffs and nerfs for other characters. Cypher is one of the more popular characters in VALORANT because he requires a lot of technical knowledge to play well. The Moroccan spy excels in providing his team with information about where their enemies are, thanks to the fact that each of his abilities has the potential to reveal where on the map his opponents are....

I Am Groot was a surprising addition to Marvel Studios’ line-up, but a welcome one. A series of five shorts, each of which was brought to life by breath-taking CGI artistry; the stories were low-stake and focused on the Guardians of the Galaxy member during his younger years, after the events of the first film. The release of these shorts, which have very clearly been defined as separate entities on Disney+ rather than an ongoing show, has indicated that Marvel is willing to get a little riskier when it comes to the formats in which they tell their stories....
