The rent-games-by-mail service just got another major competitor. GameFly, which has been in the rent-by-mail business revolving around video games will start seeing Qwikster as a rival. For a quick refresher, Netflix has now broken up into two different models: Netflix, which will exclusively serve as a streaming service as before, and Qwikster, which will be serving as the “old” business model of sending physical media to customers via the postal service....

Dying Light found a way to make a game about zombies stand out when the genre has oversaturated markets for quite some time. From the open world, fun co-op adventures, to the freedom it gave players when fighting off hordes of the undead, the community fell in love with Dying Light. Support for the series has also been consistent, showing developers care for its loyal fanbase. While the thought of jumping from rooftops to escape the undead army that always surrounds you seems a bit scary, Dying Light always finds excellent ways to balance camp within its horror....

GTA Online is usually home to all sorts of ne’er-do-wells and ruffians running around causing havoc. There are seemingly no limits to the amount of mayhem that players can wreak in Rockstar’s explosion-heavy wonderland. However, even a society based solely on indulgence and chaos needs to have some kind of boundary. And it seems like one GTA player has found a way to cross that incredibly thin line: Reddit user santosrmrz decided to test out a rumor from his friend that you can get kicked out of the Diamond Casino & Resort....

The late 1990s gave us numerous top-rated gaming titles and cult classics that have stayed in our minds as the years drift away. From Metal Gear Solid to Nights Into Dreams, the late 90s were a great time for games. One beloved cult classic from that era is MediEvil, a Playstation 1 action-adventure game that has players take on the role of a cowardly undead knight. While some games live in our minds for a long time, others tend to fall quickly into obscurity....

As gamers, we have the privilege of being able to travel to worlds of wonder in a variety of settings. From space and the old frontier to dystopian cities and kingdoms with mushrooms, there are plenty of engaging realms through which we can forget the harsh realities of life. Yet, one reality has hit us very harshly in recent times, and that is the coronavirus, which is not something that should be taken lightly....

Now, Genshin Impact is one of those games that gets the player hooked right from the start. Is it the story? Is it the type of gameplay? Is it the game’s brilliant silliness? Is it because it’s filled with adorable anime-style characters? It could be any of these things, but the biggest hook is Paimon, the non-playable character who guides you through the landscape of the game. She’s cute, she’s helpful and she’s also quite the handful....

Genshin Impact was released with five normal banned five-stars. Diluc was one of these, and in the first few months of the game’s release, players were throwing away hundreds of dollars on trying to pull Diluc. Before Ganyu’s release, Diluc was considered by many players to be the most powerful character in the game, and some players still believe that he is the hardest hitting. Diluc runs that bar Angel’s Share in the game, where he sneaks out at night to fight abyss mages....

Genshin Impact has used a rather straightforward “energy” system since its inception. Players can freely participate in dungeons and boss fights, however, if they hope to claim rewards from each one, they’ll be forced to spend valuable Original Resin. While Original Resin regenerates slowly over time, Genshin Impact players are also given the option of instantly recharging their supply by spending Primogems, the game’s premium currency. Alternatively, players are sometimes rewarded with “Fragile Resin,” which is a storable item that grants 60 Original Resin instantly upon consumption....

As Genshin Impact’s roster of in-game characters continues to increase, so do those you can grab in real life. Mihoyo has just revealed that Mona is the next character getting her very own figure, joining a growing line-up of Genshin Impact-related collectibles. Mona is Genshin Impact’s sassy, magical Hydro-user and another one of those rare, five-star characters available via stingy banner drops. Her snazzy new figure comes from Japan-based figure crafters Wonderful Works, which has also tackled other IPs like OreGairu and Atelier....

I really enjoy gacha games. Like, as I’ve gotten older, I find myself playing them way more and scratching that itch I have for collecting in-game goodies. They’re inherently problematic for a number of reasons, but I’ll be the first to admit I often fall into the instant gratification trap they provide. And while I do love them, it’s important to acknowledge that there are plenty of ways the companies behind them can do a lot better by the players, given the gambling mechanics....

Fantasy Flight Games are set to release new Clan Wren units for their tabletop smash-hit Star Wars Legion. Star Wars Legion is a sci-fi fantasy miniatures game based upon Lucasfilm’s Star Wars series of movies and TV shows. It sees two players, each creating an army from either the light or dark side, i.e. Rebels or Empire and re-enact battles set in the Star Wars Universe. The game follows on from other Star Wars successes from FFG; X-Wing, Armada, and Imperial Assault, to name but a few....

The Final Fantasy series is full to the brim with some of the greatest JRPGs of all time, and Final Fantasy X is no exception to this. Serving as the last title made by the legendary Squaresoft before Square’s merger with Enix, Final Fantasy’s first foray into the sixth generation of gaming was nothing short of a resounding success that managed to be an excellent experience in every sense of the word....

There could be an announcement for the next entry in the Final Fantasy series soon, as a potential Twitter account for Final Fantasy 16 has been discovered online. Square Enix has stalled when it comes to making new mainline entries in the Final Fantasy series. The company’s focus is split between the mobile Final Fantasy games, the sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and adding new content to Final Fantasy 14....

There’s a point in Fire Emblem: Three Houses where you have to make a game-defining choice. We knew about the choice well ahead of time. It’s right there in the game’s title: you have to pick one of the three houses to side with in the battles to come. The decision plays a big part in Nintendo’s marketing. Fans have been discussing it for months. I even wrote an article comparing the three houses....

With new consoles right around the corner, gamers are going to be treated to a lot of firsts in the coming weeks and months. No, these will not be the type of high-profile announcements like a release date, a price, or even something as crazy as a complete DRM policy reversal, but they will still ultimately inform the at-home experience gamers will have with the console. Case in point: a recent picture that has been circulating the Net that shows off the Xbox One’s new virtual keyboard....

Developer Subtle Boom may not be a household name, but its debut title, Fledgling Heroes, is one that parents of younger gamers will want to be sure to check out on Nintendo Switch. The premise of Fledgling Heroes is pretty simple. It’s a side-scrolling flap ‘em up runner, but what separates the game from the other countless runner titles available on mobile devices is that it features a beautifully hand-crafted storybook-style art design with a story that any young gamer can follow along with and enjoy (bonus points for the delightfully rhyming narrative)....

Over the past several months, Diplo has appeared numerous times in Fortnite as part of its Party Royale DJ residency. The popular DJ/producer is now set to conclude his residency with one final performance, dubbed Diplo Presents: Higher Ground, and Epic Games is commemorating the occasion by giving players the chance to earn the free, “music-reactive” Afterparty Wrap. Diplo Presents: Higher Ground, which is described as a “deep house musical show featuring trance-inducing, sophisticated beats,” will take place at Fortnite’s Party Royale Main Stage on Friday, July 31 at 2pm EDT....

Ahead of the official Fortnite season 10 launch, which developer Epic Games has appropriately dubbed Season X, the patch notes detail one of the newest additions to the game: the 2-player BRUTE mech suit. It is essentially a vehicle where one player operates the movement of the suit, whereas the other operates the suit’s firepower. Notably, Fortnite does draw attention to the fact that it could be used solo by switching between the driver and the gunner seats, but this would probably not be easy for players in their new twisted skins....
