After the news about the indefinite delay of release date for the new installment to The Last of Us, The Last of Us 2 has received a new (and close) release date, along with a new trailer to hype ourselves up! Last month, Naughty Dog, the company behind the new upcoming title for The Last of Us, gave us the sad news that due to the coronavirus situation that has been going around, their hand was forced to indefinite delay the release of The Last of Us 2 due to logistical issues. But you know what they say, “hope always…

The next highly-anticipated addition to the famous and well-known game series, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, is here and it is viciously glorious! Ubisoft has released a very well-made trailer that shows off the vikings’ savagery, their ways of life, their devotion to their gods (like Odin, the Creator) and their bloodbathed battles. It goes without a single doubt that they have done the most amazing job up until now and the trailer has sparked the great interest of many fans. Gamers talk about the trailer and its contents like crazy, the series’ fans are overly hyped and excited and it all…

Naturally, the first thing you’ll want to ask is “can…

Ah, Britain. Land of tea, the King, and other associated stereotypes.  Of course, modern Britain is just as cosmopolitan and diverse as anywhere else in the world. Anything the developed world can do, Britain can do as well, and that includes streaming on Twitch. The UK is a nation of gamers, just as the USA and other countries are. It might be a small island nation off the coast of mainland Europe, but don’t count it out when it comes to Twitch. Yes, many of the most interesting and content-rich streamers on Twitch actually hail from this sceptered isle. The…

Hunting games have come a long way since Duck Hunt first hit the arcades in 1984. The fundamentals of a good hunting game have not changed much but the gameplay experience has vastly improved from that first coin-operated machine.  Next time you get the itch to stalk a buck or take down big game, take a look at our top Hunting games for Console or PC. Pro Deer Hunting 2 If you are looking for a realistic deer hunting simulator, then Pro Deer Hunting 2 is worth a consideration. It advances from the original game with improved visuals, and extras…

Sony has launched a new way for players to be kept occupied for a good amount of time, through their newly launched Initiative, PlayStation Play at Home. Sony (even though they are sort of late to the game, but better late than never, right?) has jumped into the good-guys wagon that are doing something to either fight Covid-19 or keep the people occupied and decided to take the situation just a bit more seriously with a little more generosity. So, they launched the Play at Home Initiative, with two goals in mind. First, of course, is to keep people entertained…

There are hundreds of Battle Royale Shooting games out there and trust me some of them are marvellous. Yes, they are not all same but certainly they have a very common base that is to kill them all. This genre is actually inspired by a Japanese novel which was later made a movie in 2001 “Battle Royale. A large group of players are dropped at some unknown location that is most likely to be an island. This is where the players need to loot each other for weapons and ultimately kill each other until and unless there is only one…

Modern Warfare’s latest and successful mode, Warzone, still remains prone to server instability, lagspikes, disconnections, service and quality-of-life problems. We can all agree that Warzone is successful if we take a look at its playerbase number and the revenue that it is generating on a daily basis for Activision Blizzard, but the mode itself still feels like its incomplete, and more on that, it seems like Infinity Ward doesn’t listen to its players’ suggestions and demands, and is on the brink of losing a great deal of its active playerbase. We’ll analyze all of this, right in this article. So…

Seems like the predictions were incorrect once again (with said predictions being Cities: Skylines and The Surge to name a few), but hey, either way, we got two nice freebies for this month. Once again, Reddit users weren’t able to guess and predict correctly what this month’s freebies were gonna be, with the majority of them saying guesses like racing titles and adventure titles (although the predicted genres are correct), like Gran Turismo Sports and Stardew Valley, respectively. Sony posted on their blog, that they are giving out to PS Plus users two games, from April 7 to May 4,…

Rogue Company, for the uninitiated, is an upcoming multiplayer third person shooter game, made by Hi-Rez Studios in Unreal Engine 4 and plays similarly like the rest of the class-based shooters but with a battle royale twist. To talk a bit the game itself before diving into the trailer, the game currently features two game modes. The first one is Extraction, a 4v4 game mode where the attacking team has to hack the objective or just straight-up kill the enemy team, and the second game mode is Wingman, a 2v2 game mode with similar win conditions. Currently, we have five…

In the past few weeks, the world as we know it has been rapidly changing and it doesn’t seem to be stopping soon. It may sound overly dramatic or maybe even fictitious but the reality is that the way we live our lives has been greatly impacted by the widespread of the Coronavirus disease otherwise known as COVID-19. Sports, in general, have been hit hard with many leagues around the world being canceled or postponed in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus and yet e-sports is one of the things that’s still standing but not without some…

Since Season 3 has been released, we’ve been lots of new goodies, like three new characters, Ganryu, Zafina and Leroy Smith, some nice additions to Practice Mode which will help intermediate players further learn the technical stuff of each character of the roster and more, and now, we welcome to the roster a new addition, Fahkumram. Since Tekken 7’s release, the community has been demanding a specific character to be added, Bruce Irvin, a Muay Thai fighter, that has been around since the second installment of the series, which was immediately received positively by the majority of the community. Now, while…

‘Gotta catch ‘em all!’- the story of how it began Pokémon, a Japanese video game that branched out to comics, toys and animated series, today is known worldwide. Many of us are firmly attached to Pokémon as a long well-thought storey that pans out beautifully. It is enjoyed through all ages and maintains this status quo well.  This game produced different versions of the same, and with each version, the one thing that remains the same is the authenticity of the game. In a sense, the game has endured its original care toward it, and the games feel so wholeheartedly.…

If you’re planning to start a gaming YouTube channel – or if you’ve already got one – then you’re up against some stiff competition. Gaming is an incredibly popular pastime, so it stands to reason that plenty of folks would line up with an eye on the YouTube gaming channel crown. Standing out amongst that kind of crowd isn’t easy, so you’re going to need some help, and creating solid art and aesthetics for your channel is definitely a strong way to emphasise your personal brand. Luckily, there’s a great site out there to help you do just that. Fotor…

To understand the new smart watched and other pro devices of recent focus, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement. Apple’s Watch records exercise, tracks our moves throughout the day, checks the amount of time we are stood up and reminds us to get up and move around if we have been sat for too long – let’s not forget Tim Cooks “sitting is the new coolness” line. To its detractors, love at first sight must be an illusion – the wrong term for what is simply infatuation, or a way to sugarcoat lust. Best Chromebook: Google…

YouTuber Markiplier who has always been a humanitarian and a people-first or community-first type of person, grabs the opportunity to talk about Coronavirus. Markiplier, after witnessing what fear and panic can do to the everyday lives of people around him and the whole world around through social media and his audience, took the leads in his hands to talk about the new pandemic that has been spreading around and causing fear. Having a big community under his channel, which at the time of writing is 25.1 million subscribers, really helps in terms of reaching out to a wide range of…

Covid-19 has officially been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation. With cases around the world increasing on the daily, we’ve seen more and more events being canceled or postponed due to increased fears, protecting the safety of everyone involved.  It’s an uncertain time for the world and the gaming community certainly hasn’t gone unaffected. We’ll break down the events currently postponed or canceled as result of Covid-19 and do our best to keep you updated on the latest news surrounding them.  E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo): Cancelled One of the more shocking cancellations is of E3, the world’s largest…

Activision, with the 2019 take on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has taken the FPS world by storm and is now up-and-ready to shake up the battle royale markets as well. Built on the same content and same engine as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), Warzone is a very different take on the battle royale as a genre. Warzone, first of all, is free-to-play for everyone, even for those who don’t own the 2019 title. Warzone caught us by surprise, as the only “first look” or “acknowledgement” (you name it) was made on March 8 by not the publisher…

Pearl Abyss’ successful MMORPG to be lots more successful on the consoles, at a very soon date, so make sure you have some spare space on your consoles for the next update. These incredible news that Pearl Abyss announced come exactly one year after Black Desert Online’s Xbox One release. The company gave out plenty of details already for this big change and they also announced the date of which this is gonna happen, which is March 4, 2020. There hasn’t been any word from Pearl Abyss yet regarding PC users joining the crossplay, and this is because the PC…

The all-time famous archaeologist and explorer has joined into the fray of Ubisoft’s fighting game, Brawlhalla. Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft joins the Brawlhalla roster with an Epic Crossover in this new update, which features Lara Croft (insane, right?), custom Signature effects, a dedicated Roster spot and an additional Skin, called Survivor Lara Croft, that has its own unique Weapon Skins and lock-in animation. Patch 3.57 also brings more additions to the game, some temporary, some permanent, like a new animated podium (which grants KOs if you solve its mysteries.. sounds scary), a new game mode called Temple Climb, a new…

The predictions were incorrect (some were saying DOOM would go free this month), but we still got two nice games, nonetheless. Reddit users were predicting that DOOM 2016 would go free, with DOOM Eternal’s release date closing in fast (March 20, 2020), but that is not the case, at least for this month. Sony posted on their blog, that they will be giving out to PS Plus users two games, from March 3 to April 6, which are: Shadow of the Colossus Sonic Forces The well-known all-time classic that induces nostalgia to everyone who played the original game back in…

Data breaches in the cloud are becoming more and more worryingly common. While these breaches are often caused by human error and not necessarily opportunistic hackers, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be taking steps to prevent them. If you’ve got sensitive data that you need to move or store in the cloud, you should be making sure that it’s as safe and secure as possible. It wouldn’t do for your data to fall into the wrong hands, and it especially wouldn’t do for that to be something you could have prevented. That’s where the cloudAshur Encrypted Cloud Module comes in.…

The free games space is reducing very quickly all around the globe. The reason is the fact that if you want the best services than you have to be willing to pay something for them. Great things come at a great cost. However, there are still websites that have free games. The free games aren’t enough if they aren’t any good. Finding a good free game isn’t a cake walk either. Usually, players don’t care about whether gaming is paid or free for them if it is interesting. A good game is the one which is thoughtful and has a…

Valve’s auto-battler game will soon leave Steam’s Early Access and bring an end to its Beta Season. It was about time that Valve’s take on an auto-battler game, Dota Underlords, to leave the Early Access program and have it officially released as a complete and out-of-beta testing game. In addition to the game’s exit from Early Access, Valve is ending the Beta Season and will kick off Season 1 on Dota Underlords’ launch date, February 25, 2020. Valve has also released an announcement that states which things will stay the same and which will change upon Season 1’s arrival. Existing…

Lots and lots of us are storing more and more of our data on the cloud. We’re entrusting potentially sensitive files to a system that’s ripe with opportunities for human error. Unless you’ve got yourself a particularly secure data storage solution, the cloud isn’t really an option for you if you have extremely sensitive data that needs to be stored and transferred regularly. With that in mind, then, what are your options? If you find yourself in a position where you need to deal with important data, what should you do? How should you find yourself a storage solution?

Seems like the oldest trick in the books, nostalgia, is actually super effective (we fell for it like Pokémon) and we love it. The NPD Group, which is a United States market research company, releases on a monthly basis its US market report and for January 2020, its a huge turn-around for other major titles. While we can’t be certain how the sales went in the rest of the market in other parts of the world, one of the largest video game markets is the US, so these numbers and sales reports, more or less speak for the rest of…

Obviously the character in talk here is the infamous mister Leroy Smith, who was welcomed with great reactions upon announcement when he was revealed as a character but is greatly hated by the majority of Tekken’s community (even to this day, after the patch fixes). Bandai Namco, the guys behind Tekken 7 have released a few patches in the last weeks, in hopes of balancing Leroy Smith’s power, but every change they made was too small, making the community angry. Try watching the latest EVO Japan 2020, the latest major tournament, the ladder was full of Leroy Smiths. That alone…

Ubisoft, the publisher behind the loot-shooter The Division 2, has announced that a new expansion is about to be released in the coming weeks. The new expansion is called “Warlords of New York” and it.. well, take you back to the place of the first game, which is New York. The story behind the DLC is that there’s an ex-Division agent, Aaron Keener, that has gone rogue and has taken over the lower parts of Manhattan. Your ultimate goal for this expansion is to take him down and re-take control of the places he’s taken control of, but Aaron ain’t…

As a fan and player of the MOBA game Dota 2, I was intrigued when the announcement of Dota Underlords hit the internet in early 2019. Released as an open-beta, the team at Valve has been making consistent improvements to this fun, strategic game over the course of the past (almost) year, prepping for the release of the full version on the 25th of February 2020.  I’ve put about 600 hours on the Underlords clock (yes, I know that means 25 days of my year were just spent playing the game) and I’ll say that it’s been a wonderful, frustrating…

The long-awaited release of League of Legends’ approach to the new and trending autobattle genre, Teamfight Tactics, which is already out and playable in the main game since June 2019, is beginning its closed beta tests for the mobile version. Riot Games just announced that their mobile version of Teamfight Tactics is ready to start getting into closed beta tests. The official month that the game will be accesible to most of the countries around the globe will be March of this year, however, some of the users who are already pre-registered may have the opportunity to play a little…
