The latest update for Pokemon GO made some fairly significant tweaks to gyms, but Niantic hasn’t been upfront with all the changes it’s made. Fans have discovered that, as of the latest update, Pokemon GO is giving players coins more frequently for defending gyms, with one earned every 10 minutes instead of hourly. After all, the game’s latest update was centered all around gyms, with players having to visit gyms to access the new raid battles. Between the new co-op raid battles and this tweak t

There may not have been a Smash Bros. Switch announcement at E3 2017, but that doesn’t mean the franchise isn’t still on the minds of gamers. The competitive community is still analyzing Super Smash Bros. Melee 16 years after its release and are finding tiny hidden secrets all the time. The latest game changer for the competitive scene comes in the form of a Peach ledge attack that offers temporary invincibility. Anyone who has played Super Smash Bros., even casually, is well aware that fights a

In Pokemon GO, there are five tiers of difficulty for raid battles, with four tiers currently in the game at the time of this writing. One and two star raid battles are denoted by a pink egg, whereas three and four star raid battles are marked by a yellow egg. For those wondering which Pokemon spawn as raid bosses for each tier, we have compiled the following list.

When Raid Battles first launched for Pokemon GO they carried with them a level requirement that, for most casual players, was quite steep. Luckily, developer Niantic has heard those complaints and is tweaking the level requirement as a result. At first, Niantic dropped the level requirement for Pokemon GO Raid Battles down to level 31 early Friday morning. While Niantic never officially revealed why it was dropping the level requirement for Raid Battles, there’s little doubt that fan outcry play

However, that hasn’t stopped some gamers from thinking of ways to try and improve the console, such as one Switch user who has created a fantastic portable Nintendo Switch dock out of an old Game Boy Advance SP. The gamer, who goes by the name CallMeCaptainAmerica over on Reddit, was working with a second Nintendo Switch dock when they realised that the circuitboard for the dock was almost exactly the same size as the Game Boy Advance SP. The user then remembered that they had an old SP that no

Nintendo today revealed and began its next major Pokemon Sun and Moon event, gifting five new previously unavailable Mega Stones to this generation of games. Of significance is also the fact that all five of the Pokemon receiving Mega Stones on this event are not available in the wilds of Pokemon Sun or Moon. This is because items are lost in the Transporter process, meaning players need Mega Stones for their Pokemon in each distinct game. Five Mega Stones at once seems like quite the prize and

It’s been an extremely difficult time of late for the Grand Theft Auto 5 modding community. Right now, a brand new update to OpenIV is available, meaning that those wanting to get back into modding Grand Theft Auto 5 can do so with the tool. “Rockstar Games believes in reasonable fan creativity, and, in particular, wants creators to showcase their passion for our games,” Rockstar said in the statement. Rockstar then clarified that this arrangement will not cover mods for multiplayer or online se

After finally introducing Mortal Kombat mainstay Sub-Zero into the Injustice 2 roster during E3 2017 last week, Ed Boon has come out and confirmed that the ice-loving character will be coming to the DC brawler in July. In a new tweet from the Injustice 2 creative director, Boon borrowed a well-known Game of Thrones Winter reference to reveal that Sub-Zero will make his foray into the DC universe on July 11. With Sub-Zero’s upcoming addition to the Injustice 2 roster, two of the three characters

However, as Microsoft’s head of Xbox games marketing, Aaron Greenberg, recently explained, there are a plethora of games in the works that the company chose to withhold from disclosure at E3 2017. Regarding the matter, the company’s head of Xbox games marketing said to GameReactor, “It’s a fine balance of how much do you show early. The closest that Microsoft’s head of Xbox games marketing came to a tease was his statement to “never say never” regarding a potential followup to 2014’s Sunset Over

As seen below in the 2017 launch trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, fans are given a look at the game’s single-player and multiplayer components, with both modes having been given an optimal graphical and audio overhaul from the original 2007 release. The standalone release for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will mark the initial instance of the game’s availability outside of its packaging with the special editions of Infinite Warfare, as it was originally not sold sep

In a recent set of tweets, Ubisoft put Far Cry 5‘s dog, Boomer, and the rest of the “Guns for Hire” on display, hoping to spark interest. The Guns for Hire in Far Cry 5 are NPC allies that can help players through in a number of ways. Ubisoft is trying to make Boomer and the other Far Cry 5 Guns for Hire early fan favorites, and even encouraging cosplay. Far Cry 5 looks like it may feature the Guns for Hire pretty heavily, so Boomer could play a big part in the game. Far Cry 5 will launch on Feb

In fact, Microsoft has even expressed a desire to work with Sony, attempting to offer cross-platform play between the PS4 and Xbox One. Despite Microsoft’s efforts, however, Sony has refused to allow for cross-platform play, and has continued to poke fun at the Xbox One manufacturer, with the official Detroit: Become Human Twitter account making the most recent joke at Microsoft’s expense. So, some may be confused about the negative reception to the Detroit: Become Human tweet. Essentially, the

Headquarters is described as the “biggest innovation” to Call of Duty: WW2‘s multiplayer mode by the developer. That’s good news for those who love to brag, as Sledgehammer said that Call of Duty: WW2 players will “compete, socialize [and] peacock and show off” in Headquarters. Call of Duty: WW2 Headquarters is clearly a massive component of the game’s multiplayer, but it is far from the only improvement that Sledgehammer Games is making to this year’s series entry. According to hands-on preview

When Square Enix assured audiences that more Kingdom Hearts 3 would be shown this year, many assumed that meant a healthy showing at E3 2017. However, the game’s first trailer of the year premiered at the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour concert in Los Angeles, skipping the convention altogether. Kingdom Hearts 3 director Tetsuya Nomura recently sat down with Famitsu to dish on what fans can expect to see. With the impending release of a new trailer, it looks like Kingdom Hearts fans have som

Final Fantasy 15‘s latest Active Time Report broadcast from Square Enix has revealed that the developer deliberately held back some information from its E3 2017 presentation in order to make some major announcements later in the summer. It seems like a pretty safe bet to assume that at least one announcement at Gamescom will center around Episode Ignis, the last of the companion DLC trilogy for Final Fantasy 15 and an expansion that we know nothing about currently. That might not be all, though,

That isn’t to say that Bungie hasn’t done its part in honoring the current players of Destiny, however, as the developer recently unveiled a glimpse into the ways that veteran rewards in Destiny 2 will work. The slow transition from Destiny to Destiny 2 is now slated to claim one of the game’s most popular recurring events as yet another piece of history, too. The key wording here is that both the final Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner events will be the last of their kind for Destiny 1‘s lifesp

Despite knowing very little about video games (and fully admitting to this fact), late night television host Conan O’Brien makes some of the funnier videos about them through a reoccurring segment titled Clueless Gamer. Conan wastes little time in hurling insults at Arnett, with the guest quickly responding with zingers of his own. Those hoping to see O’Brian and Arnett lob extendable ligaments at one another in ARMS can do so below. Conan has continued to build upon Clueless Gamer through his o

This week, Friday the 13th added its first piece of new content with the release of Retro Jason into the game. However, some are confused as to how to unlock Retro Jason, since developer Gun Media didn’t make it exactly clear what they were adding. As it turns out, Retro Jason is actually a skin for the Part 3 Jason that is already in Friday the 13th. To access the skin all players need to do is click in the right stick on console or click the ‘Change Skin’ button on PC. We’ll admit that discove

After taking a week off, we are back with another Xur update to give Destiny players the lowdown on where to find the Agent of the Nine, what exotic items he has in his collection, and whether or not any of those items are worth buying. Strange Coins aren’t hard to come by, mind you, but some weapons in Destiny are worth the effort more than others. Xur’s LocationThis week, Destiny players can find Xur in the balcony area of Tower North. All three are solid exotic armor pieces for their respecti

Gamers who are yet to get their hands on a Nintendo Switch might well have a hard time finding a retailer that still has stock of the console/handheld hybrid, as severe shortages continue to get in the way of sales. Amongst accusations of “false scarcity” that have begun to make the rounds online, Scibetta wants to set the record straight, regarding the amount of Nintendo Switch consoles available for purchase. “It’s definitely not intentional in terms of shorting the market,” the director told
