One of the critiques I mentioned in our Empire of Sin official review was how loyalty and character relationships are handled. While these are intriguing concepts on paper, they just don’t mesh well with the actual gameplay. Far too often, you’d have characters leaving because you killed their friend or lover. Here’s our guide to help you adjust based on the situation. Note: For more information, check out our Empire of Sin guides and features hub....

Earlier today, it was leaked on Reddit that the Epic Games Store will have a Megasale in the near future. Well, it turns out the news is 100% real and verifiable, as it was later confirmed by the Fortnite Twitter feed. Talk about not even trying to deny leaks. I remember a time when leaks were followed by “we do not comment on rumors or speculation.” But this is “current year 2019,” where game announcements and leaks are confirmed on Twitter....

Epic Games has revealed eight more PC games launching exclusively on its store, in a trailer showcasing the handful of indie titles as seen at PAX West. Airborne Kingdom is a city management and exploration game, in which you must build your domain in the sky, nomadically travelling across a desert world for resources and technologies. It sort of looks like the title sequence of Game of Thrones, but pastelised. The Alto Collection, comprising Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Odyssey, makes its PC debut on the Epic Games store as well....

Codemasters and EA have detailed some of the features for the upcoming F1 2021 which will mark the series’ first instalment on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. In pole position is the new Braking Point story mode, which will see players rising from the ranks of F2 and joining one of five 2021 FIA Formula One World Championship teams. Promising both on-track and off-track drama, you’ll be forging friendships and rivalries along the way including F1 2019 antagonist, Devon Butler....

Just when you thought you’d made it through your twelve steps of Fable rehab, the land of Albion calls again. Slated for a release in the fourth quarter of 2010, Fable III will be released exclusively for the Xbox 360 and PC in two packaged versions. The standard, which you can rent from Blockbuster, or wherever they do that kind of thing, and the Limited Collector’s Edition, which will be available for the 360 only....

I know it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, given the fact that Fallout is a post-apocalyptic world, but whenever I’m wading through the wasteland, I gotta make sure that not only am I well prepared for all the dangers the new world but I look damn good too. And since Fallout 4 has more armor customization than any game out there, that’s not a hard feat to accomplish. On the contrary - there are so many choices of attire in Fallout that I have a hard time choosing my outfit!...

To stay alive, live service titles need to update constantly, and it’s been a while since Fallout 76 has done that in a meaningful way. The game’s last update this past January increased inventory and stash sizes. It has another update coming next month called Locked and Loaded, which will change how camps and loadouts work. And thanks to the reveal of a roadmap, we now know what will be coming to Fallout 76 over the coming months....

Koei Tecmo has shown a brief trailer for the upcoming Fire Emblem Warriors at the Nintendo E3 Spotlight, featuring some new footage of the game in action. Fire Emblem Warriors will be out for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS later on this year. Like Hyrule Warriors before it, Fire Emblem Warriors takes the much-loved IP into a new genre entirely, featuring characters from several previous Fire Emblem games battling against hordes of enemies....

Nintendo has released a massive firmware update for the Switch, which takes the system to version 4.0. The first feature update since May brings a number of additions, and one of the most surprising is the ability to record gameplay clips. User accounts and save data can now be transferred to another Switch, and players are able to update games locally from another console. Neat, eh? The most notable feature for many is the addition of video capture....

When Hellgate: London was released last year it received mixed reviews and I think everyone will agree that the game was far from complete. Despite numerous patches and the promise that the game would be fixed up it’s not come quick enough. Yesterday rumours of Flagship Studios closing were abound and Flagship Studios had in fact lost the IP to their two main titles Hellgate and the free to play RPG Mythos....

Get ready for a Doc Savage TV series. Wait…who the hell is Doc Savage? I’m SO GLAD YOU ASKED! Doc Savage is one of the most important characters in 20th century pop culture, and perhaps the most important one you never heard of. One of the early 1930s boom of pulp and adventure strip characters, Doc Savage is an essential piece of superhero history, long before anyone had bothered to invent the word....

We have a list of all the updated codes for the Roblox Dog Piece, to redeem free Gems as rewards. These codes are case-sensitive, and they also can expire any time in the coming days. So make sure to redeem them as soon as you can. So with that said let’s jump right into it. These codes are working as of December 29, 2022, when we checked. But Roblox codes tend to expire in 2 to 3 days....

Valve Corporation has premiered the 2019 edition of its True Sight documentary series. True Sight: The International 2019 Finals debuted in Leipzig, Germany today. The documentary movie depicts the trials and challenges of Team Liquid and OG as they battle it out for the trophy at the global Dota 2 event. The idea is to give fans a more in-depth look at the tournament from the players’ perspective. The documentary depicted everything from emotions, gameplay mentality, sensitive information, and conversations, and surprisingly motivating trash-talking....

Dr. Disrespect continues to voice his displeasure for CoD’s latest battle royale iteration as he has now scathingly stated in a recent stream that Warzone 2 is the ‘worst game’ that he’s ever played in his entire streaming career. The clip initially showed Dr. Disrespect engaging with an enemy player that was equipped with a Riot Shield. Sadly, he ended up being downed by the opponent after which he went on a tirade about the current state of the battle royale....

Despite always coming in second only to Goku, Vegeta still stands as among the most influential, profound and everlasting anime characters of all time. Simply look at the unending examples of secondary characters in anime who have, in many ways, encapsulated not only Vegeta’s anti-heroic traits but also his arrogant persona. From the likes of Hiei in Yu Yu Hakusho to Naruto’s Sasuke, Vegeta’s scowling demeanor and quest for absolute power has left a mark on shonen anime....

Today Bandai Namco released a brand new gameplay trailer of its popular JRPG Dragon Ball Z Kakarot. The trailer focuses on the upcoming DLC “Bardock: Alone Against Fate” and specifically shows the Battle on Planet Kanassa part of the DLC. The DLC is coming to all platforms the game is on (PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch), with a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version also coming down the line in 2023....

What do Marvel characters do in their off-time? We know that the Thing and Wolverine had a poker night on occasion and would invite various other heroes, like the Beast and She-Hulk to join; though, why they would invite Gambit is beyond anyone’s guess. The heroes in the Marvel Universe are continually called upon to play a very specific role. Therefore, it would not be surprising to learn that they like to get together and play a game that allows them to play the role of someone different from themselves in a fantasy setting....

Techland has released Dying Light’s Developer Tools as a free download on PC, making it possible for users to create brand-new maps, custom stories and scenarios. All created content can be shared via the Steam Workshop. The developer has also created a six part video guide which aims to explain how to get started with the new tools. Additional in-depth tutorial videos will be released soon.

EA expects to ship 9-10 million copies of Star Wars Battlefront before the end of March 2016 – and even more “if things go well”. Discussing its expectations for the upcoming shooter during last night’s earnings call, EVP Blake Jorgensen explained that he hoped EA could “leverage a lot of the hype” around the movie. “For us, we’re thinking about it with two bookends,” he said. “One bookend is the historical Battlefront, which did roughly 9 million units....

EA has plans to release a new IP next year, CFO Blake Jorgensen has revealed. The new game was teased during EA’s Q4 earnings call last night, where Jorgensen revealed that we’ll likely see something on it “soon”, possibly during the publisher’s EA Play event next month. “We do have a new IP coming next year,” Jorgensen said (via Seeking Alpha). “We haven’t yet announced it, but it’s something that you’ll see probably coming up soon....
