The Sykov pistol just made its way into Call of Duty: Warzone, and it’s already causing a ton of balance issues. Currently, the pistol is available in Warzone by completing a relatively easy pistol kill challenge, but its incredible rate of fire and the high number of rounds is causing many players to call it out for balancing. Clips posted all over Call of Duty’s Reddit pages show how powerful the pistol is....
Our cup runneth over with bats. When it’s written like that, it sounds awful–however, the last week’s torrent of new information for Batman: Arkham City has been immensely pleasing. Coming after the reveal of an iconic Bat-Villain and the news that the game will be playable in 3D, Rocksteady has revealed what we can expect from the game’s extracurricular Challenge Modes. In Rocksteady’s first outing to the Batman universe, Batman: Arkham Asylum, there were two types of Challenge Maps that could be accessed outside the main campaign: Combat (which was exactly what it said on the tin) and Predator, which focused on the especially enjoyable stealth aspect of the game....
Version 1.1 of Genshin Impact added several new playable characters to the roster, allowing players to Wish for characters like Childe, Diona, and Ningguang. Many fans are still waiting for additional new characters like Zhongli and Albedo, who have already been confirmed for future updates.

Regardless of cost, all the game’s characters feature a collection of voice lines and thoughtful flavor text, much of which hints at further content....
While most daily commissions in Genshin Impact task players with eliminating a set amount of Hilichurls, the “Poetry Exchange” quest has players taking a more pacifist approach. In the quest, Genshin Impact players must aid a small child named Ella Musk, who believes that she has found a new way of communicating with Mondstadt’s Hilichurl population. To start the quest players must first travel to Starfell Valley in Mondstadt to the outside of a Hilichurl camp that can be found West of the Cryo Regisvine boss location....
Remember how Final Fantasy VII Remake had a bunch of special dynamic PS4 themes? There was one for pre-ordering, another for playing a demo, and then some weird Butterfinger one? Well now you can get the Butterfinger one free of charge… but it takes a little work. The theme itself features Tifa sitting on a water tower looking at the starry sky. There’s slight animation to her hair flowing. It’s nothing too dynamic, but makes for a peaceful background to one’s menu....
If there were some Capcom games in the Nintendo eShop that you had your eyes on, now is the time to snap them up, as the Capcom publisher sale is due to run from now until October 2. The titles on sale are mostly for Nintendo Switch, but there are a handful that are for the 3DS, too. Given the demise of that handheld line, now is the time to pick up any titles you reckon might be interesting, before online support is discontinued for the 3DS indefinitely....
Dressing as Cloud is one thing. Doing so with a lifesize Buster Sword that hangs from your back is something else entirely. Earlier this year, the cast of Final Fantasy VII was recreated in stunning detail for Final Fantasy VII Remake. The incredible detail given to Tifa, Barrett, Cloud, and the rest of the cast’s designs has opened up a whole new avenue of cosplay opportunities for FFVII fans, as is demonstrated to the utmost by a Redditor below....
A new interview with the lead developer of Star Wars: Republic Commando reveals two promising pitches for a potential sequel that were once being dicussed at LucasArts. Over the years, there have been many video games set in the Star Wars universe that went beyond normal expectations for licensed content. These titles often received at least one or two sequels — something that can’t be said for squad-based FPS and cult favourite Republic Commando....
Fortnite continues to mix things up in Chapter 2 Season 5 by moving around some of the Exotic weapons that are typically up for grabs. The Hop Rock Dualies, powerful twin handguns capable of rapidly eliminating the competition in the hands of any player who can control their recoil, were previously available from Cole. After a recent update, they now have a new home. Players who are looking for the Hop Rock Dualies in Fortnite will now need to track down Deadfire instead....

Thankfully, the delay for Fortnite’s Season 3 content is fairly short term, only being pushed back a week from the original date of June 4....
The world turns, and Fortnite continues. While the professional scene is suffering due to an understandable lack of upcoming in-person Fortnite events, the game is still thriving in a monolithic way. Season five of Fortnite Chapter 2 has taken off with many changes to the previous Marvel crossover formula. The map has shifted somewhat and now comes complete with NPCs and a big glowing center. While the competitive scene is sleeping, players still have lots of opportunities to rack up XP and earn the rewards that come with it....
While most Fortnite players are focused on the start of Season 7 and the introduction of the new snow biome to the map in Battle Royale, Epic has introduced something even more special into the game’s Save the World component.

Guided Missile Details First things first, the Guided Missile. Fortnite Battle Royale players will be happy to know that the new weapon acts almost exactly like they imagined....
The choice to focus on Lady Jaye is certainly an intriguing one. The character, whose real name is Alison R. Hart-Burnett, is a covert ops specialist who was introduced in the G.I. Joe 3 ¾” toy line in 1985. The cardback bio describes her as highly-educated with a diverse skill set that complements cryptological linguistics, signals intelligence, and electronic interception with Airborne and Ranger training. Yet, a major aspect of the character—besides an affinity for green outfits—is her romantic link to fellow Class of ‘85er, the rough, beret-wearing warrant officer, Flint....
Six Days in Fallujah is a controversial upcoming game about the Second Battle of Fallujah, which took place in 2004 during the Iraq War.

Side quests in Genshin Impact and help to bridge gaps in the history of the different regions — gaps that aren’t otherwise filled in by the main narrative of the game. This is true in places like Liyue, but it is also true elsewhere. Just like in Liyue, the nation of Mondstadt is littered with ruins, alcoves, and monuments that each tell a story from a forgotten time. Here are a few side quests you can complete right now to become a bona fide Mondstadt historian....
