Fortnite’s punch cards are an excellent way to earn some extra XP, but the criteria for filling them in isn’t always clear. The Chauffeur condition for the N1 punch card can be especially perplexing, but like many other challenges, satisfying it is simple and easy with a willing partner—and an enormous challenge without one. Those unfamiliar with Fortnite’s cars may want to brush up on the game’s latest addition before setting out....

The latest teasers for Fortnite Season 7 reinforce the alien theme, and seem to be teasing a new set of alien weapons and weapon charms. Fortnite’s official Twitter account Tweeted out a short video showing three items floating in an anti-gravity beam, including a carton of milk, a toy of fishstick, and an unknown claw-shaped weapon.

For an indie game with such a slim development team, Friday the 13th: The Game seemed like it had a bright future. The dedicated developers at Gun Media attracted a passionate player base and were promising consistent content updates, including the highly anticipated Uber Jason and accompanying Jason X map.

In a year that will see some high profile releases from beloved franchises, one Game Rant writer addresses the growing fatigue surrounding classic series in gaming. One of the oldest joke concepts regarding the gaming population is that we will, if a developer ever releases the closest thing possible to an objectively perfect game, argue that it is “too perfect”. It’s no secret that the community as a whole can have some pretty divided opinions, and that those opinions can shift in an instant for seemingly no reason at all....

Genshin Impact recently delighted its fans with an expansive new update, offering new playable characters, an extension to the game’s storyline, and various other surprise additions.

Travelers have been spending a good deal of time partaking in the game’s Unreconciled Stars event, which started just about as soon as Version 1....

A report from The South China Morning Post reveals how successful the game has been internationally.

The Fall Guys crossovers keep on coming as next week, the original Godzilla is coming to the games. Fall Guys is the family-friendly hit game of the year that anyone can pick up and play. It’s bright colors and soft edges make it appealing to just about everyone, regardless of age and skill level. However, there’s a lot to be afraid of in this fictional world in which nothing ever happens outside of an eternal game show in which its beans are forced to compete....

The 78th Annual Golden Globes Awards are in the history books. It was a weird ceremony for a weird year, occasionally marked as much by the technical difficulties that came from using Zoom and telecommunications for awards speeches as it was by the winners. And yet, what a remarkable year for the winners it was. After the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been roundly (and rightly) criticized for snubbing women filmmakers for year after year in the Best Director category, Chinese helmer Chloé Zhao won the Director prize for her riveting and raw Nomadland, a film which blends documentary filmmaking with narrative; Daniel Kaluuya was able to (eventually) speak about the glories of Fred Hampton to a global audience after winning Best Supporting Actor with his role in Judas and the Black Messiah; Borat 2 is now a “Best Picture” winner (read that sentence back and let it sink in); and while The Crown again dominated the television Drama categories, audience favorite The Queen’s Gambit picked up the Globes for Best Limited Series or Made for Television Film and Anya Taylor-Joy won for playing Beth Harmon....

Chasing Carrots have developed a tycoon management game called Good Company. It just went into early access on Steam and is expected to stay there for around 8-14 months. The game sees players take control of a manufacturing company, learning how to handle the logistics of product design, production, and sales. Good Company is very in-depth for an early access title, but proves a little tricky in places. Humble Beginnings As the game begins you start off small, with calculators, many calculators....

Throughout the many years that Final Fantasy has been a series, fans have been locked in never-ending debates over who the most powerful character in the franchise is. With each new entry, forums everywhere are lined with tags asking, “Who would win in a fight?” all while defending their favorites to the very end. While games such as Dissidia: Final Fantasy NT and Kingdom Hearts have given us a look at how certain characters fare in a fight with others outside of their storylines, we can’t help but imagine how these powerful heroes and villains would do against each other if given the opportunity....

A candid interview with Final Fantasy 15 director Hajime Tabata reveals that things weren’t looking very good for the game when he first joined the team. While it’s easy to look at Final Fantasy 15 now and see a game that appears destined for success, that perception is a relatively new one that’s a product of the game’s strong public showings in recent months. That hasn’t always been the case, however, and an interview conducted with Final Fantasy 15’s director, Hajime Tabata, revealed just how dire things were for the beloved RPG series before he restructured the game from the ground up....
