Over the next few days, the price went up and down steadily, as the market attempted to adjust to the fluctuations....

A few weeks ago, developer miHoYo released Genshin Impact, which is a free-to-play action RPG. Prior to its release, Genshin Impact was often compared to Nintendo’s Breath of the Wild, mostly due to the similar aesthetic design. However, visuals aside, Genshin Impact is a very different game, featuring unique gameplay that is both immersive and fun to play. Given the game’s initial success, miHoYo recently unveiled its plans for the future of Genshin Impact....

Developer MiHoYo added many unique elements to Genshin Impact when developing the game, though it’s hardly the first game of this genre that the Shanghai-based studio has created.

And while cloud gaming technology isn’t a new idea — see: Blade Shadow and Project xCloud — Stadia is the best proof of concept yet....
It would be somewhat understandable if this was the first FIFA release on PC, but the series has been available on Origin starting with FIFA 14 back in 2013. It’s been nearly a decade since EA began supporting the platform, so it’s strange to see the publisher not want the best possible version on its digital distribution platform. Then again, this is the same company that has routinely released full-priced patches for the Switch with FIFA Legacy Editions each year....
When Final Fantasy 7 Remake was announced at E3 in 2015, fans around the world could hardly contain their excitement.

The house leader of the Black Eagles class in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the most controversial of the bunch. Unlike Claude, who is clear cut, and Dimitri, who is just about universally condemned for his callous actions, Edelgard sits in a very gray area. Countless arguments have been made condemning or defending Edelgard’s methods for making a better Fódlan. Some players argue that her actions were unwarranted. Other players argue she needed to take such drastic measures to make Fódlan a better place....
Since debuting in August, 2014, the Five Nights At Freddy’s (FNAF) franchise has taken the world by storm – by not only receiving millions of downloads, and billions of views across the YouTube platform but also through novels, toys and other merchandise. It is not often that an Indie PC game - that is almost entirely solely developed - can generate this level of popularity and hype. One of the interesting things about the entire series is the lack of story details that are provided throughout each entry in the series as many fans are still questioning basic facts that have still yet to be answered from the original game....
But Eyes was also meant, at one point, to usher in the most important change in any Bond movie: the introduction of a new actor in the role of 007. Roger Moore’s original contract was for three films, with his participation going on a film-by-film basis starting with Moonraker. Following the completion of that film, rumors surfaced that Moore was ready to retire from the role, leading 007 production company Eon Productions and producer Albert “Cubby” Broccoli to begin the search for a new Bond....
