New single player Challenges are being introduced to Friday the 13th: The Game, and a short trailer was released today that gives a glimpse as to how this new game mode will play. The trailer previews the tutorial for the new mode, which tasks the player, as Jason, to kill to teenagers who are attempting to repair their car that has inexplicably broken down. We can safely assume they are on their way to Camp Crystal Lake, as they guy talk about all the tail they’re going to get....

GameStop won’t come right out and call it their Summer Sale, but it might as well be. Now through July 16, GameStop is running its “Game Deals Sale” with discounts up to 50% off a wide swath of games across all genres and platforms. This includes many 2017 releases including a historic low price of $19.99 for Mass Effect Andromeda - a killer deal despite the game’s many issues upon launch earlier this year (you can read the review for Mass: Effect Andromeda)....

The CW, home of The Flash, Arrow and Riverdale, is currently developing GG, a comedy/drama series that focuses on a young woman confronting the challenges of the male-dominated gaming industry. Behind the scenes are Hollywood heavyweights Kim Moses and J Moses, founders of production company OptIn. According to J Moses, “Our mission at OptIn is to integrate technology into entertainment in a way that reflects our daily lives. Our first series demonstrates this intent, as GG bridges the two industries at a time when engagement for both is surging rapidly....

It’s no secret that Gearbox Software’s new original title Borderlands is a huge success. With massive sales and rave reviews (Metacritic averages it out to 84%), the game is flying high and even creative director Mike Neuman wasn’t anticipating it: In an interview with VG247, Neuman answered questions relating to downloadable content, the chances of a sequel, and why there was no demo. Man, I don’t think anybody was. Those don’t happen in the videogame industry very often — where people can’t find your game....

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition features ample improvements made to the original game throughout, making it a familiar but fresh trip down memory lane. As soon as Microsoft purchased the rights to Gears of War, gamers began chomping at the bit to see what the deal would bring. While an Xbox One installment seemed an inevitability, many still hoped that the franchise would see something akin to Halo: The Master Chief Collection....

Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, discusses Epic’s version of Gears of War 4, claiming that the game would have had a massive budget of around $100 million. While fans are excited for The Coalition’s Gears of War 4, which will release later this year, original series developer Epic Games once had its own version of Gears of War 4 in development as well. However, Epic sold the rights to Gears of War to Microsoft, and decided to change its business model drastically, and we now know part of that was due to the ballooning budget to develop new Gears of War games....

Treasure Hoarder Insignias are important character ascension materials in Genshin Impact. Oftentimes, characters will need several, if not dozens, for each phase of ascension, so here’s where and how players can find large chunks of them. Character ascension is one of the more tedious tasks in Genshin Impact because players will often have to go hunting for hours to find rare materials. Each character has a unique resource that can typically only be found in a specified place or dropped by a specific type of enemy....

There’s a sense of mysticism when it comes to the elements and the powers which they possess. Air, earth, water, and fire might be the original four, but games such as Genshin Impact have taken everything we thought we knew about the elementals and turned them up a notch. In this relatively new online RPG, we see the appearance of Anemo (wind), Cryo (ice), Dendro (nature), Electro (lightning), Geo (earth), Hydro (water), and, of course, Pyro (fire)....

Good news for Genshin Impact players on the PlayStation 4! Back in January, the game hosted an event titled “Slime Paradise” for PC and Mobile players. This event, which ran at the same time as “Hypostatic Symphony” throughout January, could not be enjoyed by those playing on the PlayStation console. That’s about to change as miHoYo has announced that the event is making its way over to the console later this month....

Just because you’re stuck inside, doesn’t mean you can’t stay Glorious. In fact, you can actually help in providing support for those in need. Starting today, April 3rd, and ending on April 30th at 12am, Glorious PC Gaming Race is putting on its “Give Gloriously” livestream charity event on Twitch. Any donations given during the month-long event will benefit organizations that are researching and working towards an international vaccine for COVID-19, as well as response organizations at the community-level whose aim is to support people and small businesses that have been negatively impacted by the global pandemic....

GoldenEye for the Nintendo 64 often gets credited as the catalyst for the multiplayer shooter genre as we know it today. But the game also has a single player campaign that follows the events of the 1995 film, and players have an infatuation with tackling this campaign through non-traditional means. Just last week, an accomplished musician decided to forgo the controller and complete the first level using a piano. Now, a speedrunner who goes by Goose has taken on an entirely new challenge....

Gotham Knights is an upcoming action-adventure game in development at WB Games Montreal. Players will be able to take on the roles of Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, and Red Hood to help bring down the mysterious Court of Owls in the wake of Bruce Wayne’s death. One gameplay trailer shows off a visually impressive boss fight with Mr. Freeze, but the footage may reveal a bad precedent being set for the roles of Gotham Knights’ secondary villains....

Emotes are one of many facets of Final Fantasy 14. Some players use them way more often than others. Like emotes in all things, they are a way to express yourself without having to type. Except in Final Fantasy 14, they are more fun and creative. They can make a character dance, hug another, or even pray for victory if players are stuck on a boss fight. There are many emotes, but some are sought out and used more than others....

During Final Fantasy 14’s Digital Fan Festival, Square Enix revealed the MMO’s extended trailer, including a title card that reaffirms its launch window of Fall 2021. Back in February, Yoshida and the FF14 team revealed that the MMO’s next big update would come in the form of Endwalker. The showcase revealed just where the game would go after Shadowbringers, highlighting a new storyline with elements borrowed from classics like Final Fantasy 4....

The latest update for the most recent entry in Square Enix’s long-running role-playing game franchise, Final Fantasy 15, improves the frame rate on PlayStation 4 Pro to 60 FPS. While one of the more recent announcements regarding future plans for Final Fantasy 15 didn’t seem like it would be bringing much to the table other than allowing fans to put a Cup Noodle helmet on the JRPG’s protagonist Noctis, Square Enix has now put out a fresh patch for the game that brings a bevy of useful changes....

Square Enix’s E3 2019 press conference started strongly with a block of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, showcasing the game’s real-time combat, confirming a full game’s worth of content just in Midgar, and finally revealing a new cinematic trailer reintroducing Tifa Lockhart. Previously, Tifa had been teased in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trailer that debuted during PlayStation’s May State of Play event, her name listed as a member of the party....

Gameplay devices may have trumped plot devices in driving the success of 1994’s UFO: Enemy Unknown, but Microprose’s alien invasion strategy title didn’t skimp on either. Underpinning progression was a sense of ongoing discovery, a constant unfolding of brand new enemies, extraterrestrial technologies, and the forces behind events that threatened the world. Unsurprisingly, the upcoming XCOM: Enemy Unkown from Firaxis Games, a remake of the 1994 classic, may well be set on the same path....

Following the announcement of The Witcher series, McFarlane Toys has revealed a first look at the 12-inch Geralt of Rivia action figure. The prominent character, based on his appearance in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, was unveiled to the public with a press release from the toy company. The Witcher will be McFarlane Toys’ second line within its partnership with CD Projekt Red, after its Cyberpunk 2077 line. The 12-inch Johnny Silverhand and V action figures were released earlier this year to accompany the game’s initial release, which has now been delayed until November 19....

One of the biggest factors in how well you’ll do in a match in Fortnite is where you drop. The island map is huge, with plenty of places to explore. There are cities, mountains, beach towns, neighborhoods, swamps, woods, and more to discover when traveling through the map. However, there are specific spots that have much better loot than others. And anyone who plays Fortnite knows that the initial items a player finds can change the tides of the entire match....
