This week, Destiny 2 players can find Xur on Nessus, the colorful destination with a red and green hue. Xur’s exotic armor selection this week includes the Foetracer helmet for Hunters, the Peacekeepers boots for Titans, and the Eye of Another World helmet for Warlocks. The Hunter helmet is an easy pickup, especially for Destiny 2 players that enjoy the Crucible. Warlocks are likely pretty familiar with the Eye of Another World helmet; Xur tends to sell it regularly. For his exotic weapon, Xur h

However, 2018 is shaping up to be even better, with 10 horror games in particular that are ready to terrify gamers everywhere. Similarly to the pen and paper game, Call of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game will be an RPG, with some of the writers from the pen and paper game returning to write the story for the video game. While there are numerous horror games slated for release on various virtual reality platforms next year, one that stands out the most is The Inpatient. Unfortunately, those game

Players of Fortnite‘s Battle Royale game mode are known for their ambitious and sometimes outrageous methods of getting ahead in the game. Earlier this week, one Battle Royale player revealed their brilliant but fiendish trick to bait enemy players and get kills quickly. But the latest winning “strategy” in Fortnite Battle Royale was purely accidental, says the player who managed to pull it off. Every single Battle Royale match has the potential for silliness or improbable wins, kills, and hilar

One of the biggest controversies in the game industry this year came from loot boxes, items which have existed previously but greatly increased in appearance. Fan backlash to the practice have been incredibly loud and vocal, likely shaking up how companies approach this system in the future. Christopher Weaver, Bethesda founder and one of the creators of The Elder Scrolls franchise, was recently asked about this loot box trend and specifically how video games should make money in the wake of thi

Since the launch of Destiny 2, developer Bungie has come under fire regarding design choices made to the long-awaited sequel. While it’s certainly a good sign that Bungie will be hearing the voices of the Destiny fan base, many users seem doubtful that this will lead to any real change on the developer’s part. The Gods of Mars DLC is pegged for a March 2018 release date, which should give Bungie plenty of time to make some much-needed changes to the Eververse system and the title as a whole. As

It seems like every other week there is a new retailer listing for Red Dead Redemption 2 that has a new release date. According to Danish retailer Coolshop, Red Dead Redemption 2 will release on June 8th, 2018. Now, did they know the release date ahead of time or just successfully guess the release date? 📷 @therealjackster pic.twitter.com/UdifiFg5cS — Red Dead News (@RDonlineNews) December 28, 2017On the positive side, there are several factors that suggest the release date could be real.

Switch owners might have more options for their Joy-Cons in the future, according to a representative from Nintendo. Takahashi-san says that Nintendo has been inspired by the various fan-made Switch designs circulating on the Internet, such as the see-through Joy-Cons that were clearly inspired by the old Game Boy design. With a solid year for Switch sales coming to a close and a new one beginning, Nintendo will be looking for ways to keep the momentum going for its newest console. Much like Xbo

Details regarding the second expansion for Destiny 2 appeared very briefly on the US PlayStation Store and thanks to some quick-thinking Reddit users, the information has been preserved in a screenshot. While the page was quickly pulled down, the expansion is called Gods of Mars and takes place on that very planet, previously seen in the original Destiny. There they’ll meet up with another legendary figure from the lore, the Hunter Gunslinger Ana Bray. While Ana Bray, Rasputin, and a cold enviro

Just a few days ago, January 2018’s free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers were revealed by way of a leak, giving fans a sneak preview of what Sony Interactive Entertainment had in mind for next month’s offerings. Meanwhile, both the visual novel Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness and the survival horror indie game Uncanny Valley will be available on PlayStation Vita (and PlayStation 4 thanks to cross-buy). Taking all of this into consideration, Sony’s list of next month’s free games for Play

Unfortunately, with the latest firmware update for the Nintendo Switch, the line of code for accessing Golf has been overwritten, which renders the game unplayable. Part of the oddly specific requirements to access this Easter Egg was that an older version of the Nintendo Switch console was needed. On July 11, after players performed Iwata’s signature Nintendo Direct sign-off gesture with the Joy-Con controllers, the Switch would boot up the classic game with motion controls enabled. The idea of

While not explicitly mentioned, many are now speculating that Virtual Console support won’t arrive until the paid model releases. Considering that online play for all games is currently free, rolling out an online service packaged with a new and improved Virtual Console only strengthens the product. In addition, instead of offering one free virtual console game for free per month, the new online service intends to provide subscribers with a streaming service that provides access to classic games

Imagination Theatre confirmed that Mr. French passed away on December 21st early in the morning with family

Devil May Cry 5 has been rumored to be in development for years, but so far nothing has been announced. Now a new Devil May Cry game has finally been announced, but it’s not what fans have been expecting. Chinese company Yunchang Game has licensed the rights to the Devil May Cry IP to create a mobile phone game called Devil May Cry: Pinnacle of Combat. Essentially, Devil May Cry: Pinnacle of Combat is a nonissue, and doesn’t indicate one way or another if Devil May Cry 5 is in development or not

Game director Jeff Kaplan has taken the celebrations to a weird place, appearing in a bizarre Twitch stream that has left fans scratching their heads. In the stream, Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan sits in front of a fireplace for a little over nine hours. Throughout the vast majority of the stream, nothing noteworthy happens, with Jeff occasionally changing positions or playing with his phone. Anyone that wants to torture themselves with this super weird Christmas stream from Overwatch‘s Je

The latest update for Fortnite is for its Battle Royale mode, as it adds a brand new weapon called the Boogie Bomb that players can use to make their enemies dance uncontrollably. Fortnite players are usually able to dance as a means to interact with their teammates or taunt other players.

In the meantime, the Boogie Bomb and some other recent Fortnite updates shoul

With Microsoft already pulling the curtain back on the free Games with Gold games for January 2018, Sony fans are impatient to learn what titles their PS Plus subscription will net them in the new year. While we still don’t have an official announcement from Sony itself, an image has been making the rounds on various forums that seems to leak three free games PS Plus subscribers can look forward to downloading in January.

It’s no secret that God of War on PlayStation 4 will be a departure from series norms. Now thanks to its ESRB rating, we know yet another way the game will be different than past games in the series. The ESRB has given 2018’s God of War an “M” for Mature rating for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, and Strong Language. Some fans may be upset that this series tradition is going by the wayside, but the removal of the sex mini-game actually makes sense. Furthermore, the sex mini-game was included m
