The exploit, which was first discovered by notable Hearthstone streamer DisguisedToast, uses a combination of two new Hearthstone cards called Shadow Vision and Radiant Elemental. While the loop this interaction creates doesn’t truly affect either player and can’t possibly win the game on its own in a fair way, the trick lies within Hearthstone‘s card animations. For those unfamiliar, many cards in Hearthstone feature animations that play out on screen once they are used. As of this writing, the

With Morrowind set to release for The Elder Scrolls Online this summer, many gamers are looking forward to revisiting the lands and adventures of The Elder Scrolls 3.

Batman: Arkham VR‘s timed exclusivity on PlayStation 4 is coming to an end.

While Microsoft’s already formally announced Project Scorpio, along with several technical details focusing on the console’s “True 4K” capabilities, much remains to be unveiled.

In fact, Valve itself seems to be getting in on the fun, creating a poster that promises a Half-Life 3 release party today. Besides teasing the release party for the game, the Half-Life 3 poster also includes the tagline “The Time Has Come” and features an upside-down Gordan Freeman in the top left corner. While it is just a joke, this April Fools poster is the closest we’ve gotten to anything from Valve about Half-Life 3 in years. Gabe Newell is open to the possibility of a new game set in the
