The Friday the 13th dev team is taking a page from their own game and preparing to go on a killing spree. Except they aren’t targeting camp counselors. Instead, they’re going after those pesky bugs permeating the game. At least that’s the plan laid out for the next major patch, as explained in the game’s forums. According to a recent post by team member Gertz, the folks working on Friday the 13th have scoured the Internet, social networking channels, and their own bug reporting website to get the clearest understanding of what’s negatively affecting the game and its players....

Funko Pop reveals a new Trick R Treat Sam Pop coming to Spirit Halloween stores this September ahead of Halloween. The figurine features the classic horror villain wearing his iconic sack over his head and sitting beside a pumpkin. Considering what he was capable of in his movie, this figurine definitely looks way too cute. Funko Pop somehow manages to touch all corners of pop culture, as it seems like there’s a pop for everything....

In the ever-popular IGN interview with Valve’s Gabe Newell and Robin Walker, Gabe brought up a really interesting point: Half-Life games are supposed to solve interesting problems. This, in part, sparked the creation of an awesome video by Skill Up on YouTube which explores this comment in more depth. It’s pretty widely-accepted that the series has been revolutionary in gaming history throughout the years, but it’s also somewhat difficult to put your finger on exactly how....

Death’s Door is a fantastic indie gem that provides thoughtful exploration, a deep combat system, a mysterious story, and a satisfying gameplay loop. In Death’s Door, you play as a soul-reaping crow who must traverse multiple environments in order to harvest the souls of those ready to depart. This game is very much its own entity but manages to still be a love letter to classic action-adventure, exploration titles. For players looking to find a similar experience to satiate that Death’s Door-like gameplay, there are a plentiful amount of titles to choose from....

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake has more than lived up to very high expectations of the fans of one of the greatest JRPGs of all time. The game is reestablishing Square-Enix’s most popular story arch and taking the series in a new direction to keep fans interested. However, there is likely to be quite a wait before Final Fantasy 7fans will be able to continue the battle against the Shinra Corporation and one of gaming’s most enigmatic antagonists Sephiroth....

Games Workshop shattered the dreams of many this weekend with poor availability for the new 9th Edition of Warhammer 40,000’s Launch Box, Indomitus. Now they’ve broken one of their promises by backtracking on the “Limited Availability” of the set, this was something that they harped on about throughout the pre-preorder period. Indomitus sold quickly. Very quickly! We reported on Friday, before preorders had begun, that supplies would be more limited than expected based on the demand and that Retail had had their preorder allocations reduced....

Love him or hate him, Duke Nukem is one of the kings of 90s shooters. Having taken the FPS genre to new heights with his quippy one-liners and cultural references, Duke was the 90s action hero in video game form. While not all of Duke’s adventures have been the best, the series has enough fans intoxicated by the nostalgia of some entries that some keep on hailing to the king....

Our quick take Gator Watch - 4.0 / 5 Gator Watch review: Design Gator Watch review: More than just telling the time Gator Watch review: Tracking your kids Gator Watch review: Battery and boredom To recap From a parent’s perspective, the watch is great. It lets you keep in touch with your kids while they are wearing it, saves you having to invest in a mobile phone - a tricky situation for kids under 12 we feel, and then track them without them realising it so you know they are safe....

For as much RPG action, exploration, and collecting as there is in Genshin Impact, there are more than a handful of curveballs the game will occasionally throw at you that bucks the usual flow. This can be through the odd timed or traversal challenge, but perhaps the rarest are the ones that challenge your intellect. If you haven’t been paying close attention when the Question and Answer quest is sprung on you, it will be next to impossible to know the correct answers to Swan’s quiz....

God of War’s sequel on the PS5 was given a teasing announcement at the recent PS5 event, and fans of the previous game will know that Ragnarok will play a big part, as set up in the first game and confirmed in this teaser. Ragnarok means the destruction of the Nine Realms of Norse mythology and the death of the Norse gods, with the twist in the game’s universe that Kratos and his son Atreus, now known to be Loki, are placed at the center of events....

For a game scheduled to release this year, it doesn’t seem like we’ve seen all that much of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Contrary to the incessant character reveals and month-long open beta tests that other titles use to build hype ahead of their launch, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Nathan Drake’s latest adventure is going under the radar somewhat — but the emergence of possible box art would suggest it’s still on track for 2015....

Square Enix’s day two stream at E3 2017 might have featured even more content than its first iteration, with a number of exciting gameplay demos and panel discussions centered around new releases like Final Fantasy 14: Stormblood. Curiously enough, however, it was the discussion of Final Fantasy 15’s Episode Prompto content that might have been the most exciting, despite the fact that it has been known for months now and is only a small part of a much larger DLC plan....

There’s a reason why the food in Final Fantasy 15 is so realistic - the development team went out and tested the in-game recipes using actual camping equipment. Final Fantasy 15 has been out for nearly a month now and there’s no doubt that players everywhere have used that time to complete the game’s lengthy 50 hour campaign, as well as thoroughly explore every inch of Square Enix’s long-awaited RPG. While some opine that the RPG remains unfinished despite a decade-long development period, one aspect that no one can find fault in are the visuals, particularly the game’s photo-realistic renderings of food....

There are many aspects of Final Fantasy VII that have still remained incredibly memorable to this day, with the inclusion of Don Corneo’s sleazy character being one of the many reasons as to why the game made such an excellent first impression. The idea of a hardened ex-SOLDIER cross-dressing in order to infiltrate a don’s mansion as a potential bedmate might sound like the most ridiculous thing in the world, but it’s a testament to the game’s quality that this doesn’t manage to feel out of place in the slightest, even in the remake....

Aerith, or Aeris as she is known in the original Final Fantasy VII released in 1997, is still highly regarded by fans as one of the best heroines in the Final Fantasy franchise. She is the most powerful magic-user in the party and provides some of the most life-saving support spells in the game. These traits have carried over into the Final Fantasy VIIRemake where the character is developed and built upon for more modern audiences....

The Steam Page for the upcoming PC release of Final Fantasy 9 reveals a few of the port’s newer features, including some options that will save gamers a lot of time if they choose to use them. Although the Steam Page doesn’t detail the release date information that keyboard and mouse fans of the PS1 classic have craved since the announcement of Final Fantasy 9 for the PC and mobile, it does describe how the re-release of the game will include a few ease-of-life changes for those who want them....

For Honor is all about knowing your character and what they’re best at in order to succeed. There are several classes that can be easy to pick up but difficult to master. One of those classes is one of the first classes available right from the get-go — the Warden. The Warden is a good class for beginners as it has a good balance of both offense and defense, and it’s overall good for playing any kind of role on the battlefield....

Well, dang. Those of you playing For Honor have yet another super-strong-looking new hero and a hunk of melodramatic Viking content to enjoy with Year 3, Season 3. You’ll often hear (or snark on the subject yourself, that’s just as likely) that creative new IPs just don’t come along often enough anymore. Today’s gaming climate is all about re-releases, remasters and remakes; nostalgia for fantastic games of the past is so lucrative that it’s getting harder and harder to try something new in the present....

After a great deal of speculation and leaking over the past few weeks, there is now official confirmation that Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 will indeed be Marvel-themed. The teaser for the upcoming season all but confirms HypeX’s earlier claims that there will be a focus around Thor, with his hammer Mjolnir also being included as a cosmetic item. The official Twitter account for Fortnite tweeted a short teaser video confirming that the new season will begin soon in a few days on August 27 and that it will be Marvel-themed....
