This season of Fortnite has challenged players with a constantly changing watery world, featuring loot-laden sharks, Coral Buddies, and superfluous motorboats. One of the challenges brought by Week 8 of the season invites players to take part in an exciting time trial at Motorboat Mayhem. The challenge in question requires players to go to Motorboat Mayhem, located near Lazy Lakes, and complete a relatively quick time trial. Upon completion, players are awarded a generous 35,000 XP, which can quickly add up to a small fortune if all the other Season 3 Week 8 Challenges are completed....

Fortnite’s massive Chapter 2 map is filled with dozens of tiny secrets - the three hidden bunker hatches really are just the beginning. We’ve seen loads of tiny hidden details that people are going crazy over, but one of the new secrets that you’re likely looking for is the Black Box which has been left by the crashed plane over at Coral Castle. Yes, you may remember this plane as it has lain dormant around Coral Castle or a long time now, but the black box (which is not actually black, by the way) is a brand new addition....

Datamining following an update or patch for Fortnite is a very common occurrence these days and the most recent game update is no exception. Typically though this practice, fans are able to get some insight into what may be coming down the road for a game such as character skins, cosmetics, and even new modes within the popular Battle Royale mode. With update 5.20 hitting earlier this week, dataminers have come across new details regarding exclusive PAX West and Gamescom cosmetic and personalization items....

Not too long ago, the Fortnite phenom known as Ninja came out on top in Epic Games’ E3 2018 Celebrity Pro AM tournament for the free-to-play Battle Royale portion of its wildly popular and successful multiplayer survival shooter.

Since the launch of its increasingly popular Battle Royale mode, we’ve seen Fortnite players get creative with how they eliminate enemies and earn the ever-elusive Victory Royales. However, one recent feat by Twitch streamer and professional gamer BullNizzle is one of the most impressive kills we’ve seen in the game so far. At the end of a recent match, BullNizzle and his team had one opponent left to kill in order to win....

Forza Motorsport 4 is already jam packed with cars. A lot of cars. Turn 10 Studios even included the Halo 4 Warthog into the game’s Autovista mode and there are even more coming. Back in September, Microsoft Game Studios announced that DLC would be on the way starting in November, and that a Forza 4 season pass for all of the DLC content would be made available for $30. The first of the pre-planned DLC has now been unveiled along with a release date - It’s titled the ‘Speed Pack’....

Early Monday morning, Friday the 13th went down for maintenance in the hopes of fixing many of the connection errors that were impacting players. And thus far it seems like most of the major issues are behind us, although there are a few left to address. In a new Facebook post, Friday the 13th developer Gun Media detailed the improvements it made to the game’s servers, explaining that they can now handle up to 90,000 concurrent players at a time....

This Game of Thrones review contains spoilers. Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 4 Much was said last week, including by a certain red witch, about the poetic quality that comes from ice meeting fire. Jon and Daenerys, the two that many of us speculate are the harmonizing voices in George R.R. Martin’s “Song of Ice and Fire,” were onscreen together. At last. But poetic allusions aside, tonight’s stunning and brief 50 minutes stepped past artful symbolism and turned that ice and fire into a scalding reality....

Getting your hands on a PS5 continues to be an impossible task, but it sounds like GameStop Pro members might soon gain the upper hand. According to new emails from the retailer, anyone who is a PowerUp Rewards Pro Member will gain early online access to PS5 restocks. It’s an interesting tactic, and one that is already splitting the community. Some think it’s a great way to avoid scalpers and resellers, while others think it’s a ploy to get more folks signed up to its Pro membership plan – which runs at $14....

GameStop just experienced a 41.21% surge that pushed its stock to almost $200. This price increase happened just as Ryan Cohen, former CEO and co-founder of Chewy, stepped up to lead GameStop’s transition into an e-commerce business. The transition’s goal is to turn GameStop into a big online retailer, meaning it can become a powerful competitor for Steam. This is part of a plan to save the company while it has been gaining attention on social media....

Dragon Age Inquisition followed up on the story of Dragon Age II (sort of), and it launched to some mixed reactions from its fanbase. Many have praised Dragon Age Inquisition for its open-world combat and exploration. However, many fans drew many parallels to the Witcher 3 and pointed out flaws with Inquisition system’s that made the game seem far more underwhelming. Some fans, however, still delight in uncovering the various hidden character interactions....

It’s time to get hyped because The Sims 5 has recently been gaining more and more traction as rumors have continued to swirl in regards to the games release date and even potential new features. Having launched over seventeen years ago, the world famous franchise – which was initially a very different idea – has since gone on to sell over 200 million copies worldwide – ranking it as one of the top selling franchises of all time....

Every now and then I’ll come across a story that doesn’t seem real regardless of how many times I read it. In a post on the official Gucci Twitter account, the “popular” clothing brand announced that it will soon be crossing over with the mega-successful mobile title Pokémon Go. If you thought 2020 couldn’t get any weirder, here’s one last thing to change your mind. It’s hard to say exactly what is heading to the game, but the Tweet does give us some insight....

During Ubisoft’s E3 2016 press conference, the studio unveils a brand new gameplay demo for its forthcoming open world title known as Ghost Recon: Wildlands. As expected, Ghost Recon: Wildlands, easily one of the most anticipated video games out of Ubisoft’s stable of forthcoming releases, got its own spotlight during the company’s E3 2016 press conference. As a matter of fact, not only did developers for the action-adventure release put out a never-before-seen cinematic trailer detailing the game’s themes and setting, but Ubisoft also revealed a the title’s first-ever in-depth gameplay demo showing a four-man squad of spec ops pros attempting to take down the Santa Blanca Cartel....

Someone at Sony today could quite possibly be ringing a bell and shouting, “We got one!” because Ghostbusters: Afterlife’s opening weekend suggests there’s life in the old franchise yet. Indeed, the fourth movie about ghosts and the people who catch them, and third picture set in the original 1984 movie’s continuity, has beaten both Sony and competitors’ expectations, and looks poised to open at a respectable $44 million. That estimated number comes in well above Sony’s lowball projections for the weekend, with the studio forecasting their pseudo-reboot of a reboot to open between $27 million and $28 million....

That was the year I received my personal introduction to video games. Tetris or Sonic the Hedgehog at a friend’s house was a casual, wildly interrupted, and sometimes forced affair. Nothing intimate, nor memorable. Those sporadic bursts of gameplay provided the map to my own attachment to video games, but not the gateway itself. It wasn’t until a lime-green console entered my hands, that I found my sense of adventure inside a plastic, red cartridge, and was introduced to a boy named Ash....
