Every year, the Spring season seems to be publisher Activision’s prime opportunity to reveal the next Call of Duty game to the world. While nothing has been revealed as of the time of this writing, it’s been confirmed June’s E3 2019 Coliseum Event will feature the upcoming Call of Duty, as members from the Infinity Ward development team plan to go more in-depth on the inner workings of one of the longest running game franchises in history....

Season 5 Week 10 of Fortnite is finally underway, meaning there is a new set of challenges to be completed and season 6 will soon be upon us. For those trying to get that last bit of XP and those last few Battle Pass Tiers, we’ve compiled this guide for the Jigsaw puzzle piece challenge. As stated in the challenge, these unique items can be found in various basements throughout the battle island....

While Fortnite is currently in the middle of its Halloween event, Fortnitemares, this is only a temporary stopgap for the Marvel-themed Season 4, which has gradually seen more and more of Marvel’s roster of superheroes and villains be added to the game. The current season still has about a month to go until it concludes and while this doesn’t mean that collaborations between Epic Games and Marvel will stop, with Epic’s creative director Donald Mustard even saying that there are many years’ worth of plans for Marvel integration, one has to wonder how the Marvel-themed season will ultimately end and what is to follow....

Fortnite’s upcoming LeBron James set will include three different skins, including a collab with Space Jam: A New Legacy. It feels like a lifetime has passed since the arrival of LeBron James in Fortnite was leaked during the Apple vs. Epic court case. Over the last week or so, rumors that the household name’s Fortnite debut was nearing really began to swirl. That brings us to today, and fans have finally been given the chance to take their very first look at what LeBron will look like in-game....

Fortnite Season 7 has finally begun, and thanks to the patch notes, players now know what to expect. One of the major changes this season is the addition of the game’s first aerial vehicle, which is called the X-4 Stormwing Plane. Alongside a new biome, some vaulted weapons, and some major changes, this plane may provide a serious overhaul to the way combat works in the battle royale game. After all, with recent additions such as the Shadow Stones (now vaulted), Fortnite has been slowly favoring mobility over building options....

It has been a busy week already for Fortnite players, as the promised in-game event finally took place over the weekend with the mysterious cube hovering over Leaky Lake. More than 1 million viewers watched on Twitch as the cube eventually burst, pulling players into a brightly lit void, before sending them back to the island with a revamped Leaky Lake. With Kevin, the community-named purple cube, now gone, Fortnite is moving on to what’s next....

In the fall of 1939, director Alfred Hitchcock stood before Columbia University to tell a story we can only hope he invented. With a ruthless, dry delivery, Hitch spoke of two Scotsmen on a train. One of these fellows carried with him a mysterious package he says is a “MacGuffin.” When the other man asks what exactly is a MacGuffin, the carrier responds, “It’s an apparatus for trapping lions in the Scottish Highlands....

Our quick take Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR - 4.0 / 5 What’s on offer? So what is new? Image quality Performance To recap The F600EXR is so similar to its F550EXR predecessor that it’s tricky to tell the difference. On the upside this does mean it’s a decent compact with bags of features: there’s an impressive 15x 24-360mm zoom crammed into the body, raw shooting is possible, plus a host of other features....

Gamers and technophiles knew something was up when long-time X-Play host Adam Sessler announced he was leaving G4 after fourteen years. Whatever tipped him off soon made its way to Kevin Pereira, following quickly behind. Now it seems that the new direction and branding for G4 has a more definitive plan. Come 2013, G4 will be relaunched to attract the attention of, and offer programming for the metro-sexual male as ‘The Esquire Channel....

It took a long time for video game developers in Japan to create a framework that easily allowed games to be translated into English, which is why a lot of early games had terrible translations, such as the infamous “Conglaturations” in Ghostbusters on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The 32-bit era saw many Japanese games making their way to North America and Europe, which meant that the standard of translation became better across the industry, but a few errors still managed to find their way into high profile games, with titles such as Final Fantasy Tactics being major offenders....

Players who enjoyed the Pokémon Sun and Moon games that took place in the tropical land of Alola had many memorable adventures from encountering island spirits to traveling between parallel universes to stopping a wicked corporation in its tracks. But there’s one thing that might be the most memorable, so much so that it blew up into a meme. When the player first sets out on their journey, one of the first characters they meet is a mysterious young lady named Lillie attempting to hide an unseen Pokémon into her bag....

There are a lot of different systems players will want to take advantage of in Genshin Impact. Forging is a great way to gather weapon leveling material without having to spend money or concentrate heavily on daily logins and the battlepass. By following a few mining maps every day, players can ensure that they have ore in their inventory. This can help them to craft useful gadgets that can track treasure or even four-star weapons with great stats....

One of the most challenging fights that Genshin Impact players will experience outside of the Spiral Abyss is against Tartaglia. While Tartaglia may not appear as threatening as some of the other bosses players may have faced, Genshin Impact players should be well prepared before attempting to take on the head of the Fatui. Unlike the Hypostasis and Regisvine bosses across Mondstadt and Liyue, Tartaglia is a weekly boss that players can only claim rewards from once per week....

Unlike most other RPGs, Genshin Impact has multiple ways of powering up your characters besides just killing monsters and completing quests to earn XP. Eventually you will reach a point where you need to ascend your characters to allow them to continue growing, but ascension isn’t free. You’ll need to spend specific materials in order to keep your characters at the top of their game, and different characters require different materials....

Genshin Impact allows its players to equip their characters with powerful Artifact Sets and weapons before heading into combat. Even the rarest Artifact Sets can be obtained as rewards from difficult boss fights, but the game’s weapons present a trickier ordeal. Travelers can, of course, find free weapons throughout Genshin Impact; however, players hoping to find four and five-star weapons, like the Skyward Blade, won’t just be able to search Domains and treasure chests....

If you are like most gamers, then you’ll judge a title based on the way it handles in-game animal petting. Luckily for fans of Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch’s critically-acclaimed release should pass with flying colors. Released today, Ghost of Tsushima will undoubtedly be the adventure of choice for the gaming community this weekend. From its quiet demo at E3 2018 to its “game of the year” label in 2020, Ghost is something to be experienced by all....

Although Tom Clancy fans have been getting their fix from The Division for the last year or so, it has been almost five years since the last real installment in the Ghost Recon franchise. After a long wait, fans can finally jump into Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands and see if the long wait was worth it for the incredibly ambitious co-op military shooter. Ghost Recon: Wildlands drops players into a war-torn version of Bolivia, where the drug cartel has overtaken the government and has a stranglehold on the country’s economy....

Just a week ahead of its release of Ghost Recon: Wildlands’ Narco Road DLC, the developers at Ubisoft have made a lot of changes to the open world tactical shooter with Update 3.0, and has released the full patch notes for the game, which can be found at the bottom of the article. As one would expect, the latest update for the title contains a plethora of bug fixes and performance refinements, as well as some balance tweaks that have been implemented thanks to Ubisoft listening to player feedback....

This article contains Ghostbusters: Afterlife spoilers. The dream of ever getting a Ghostbusters 3 faded long ago. There were false starts and rumors throughout the 1990s—and the 2000s too—that a sequel was this close to materializing. And yet, by the time Harold Ramis tragically passed in 2014, the likelihood of ever seeing the four original Ghostbusters standing side by side seemed impossible. Which is one of the reasons Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife is such a surprise....

Cinemas have just reopened in the U.K., with moviegoers happy they can finally watch films on the big screen again. Netflix releases were enough to tide us over, but they lack the scale of the cinema. Godzilla vs. Kong is a movie that deserves such treatment, benefitting hugely from the theatre experience. It’s a loud, action-oriented, monster-packed spectacle. It happily bends its own rules and internal logic if that means the film can wow audiences, and I love it for that....
