While Lost Ark does a pretty damn good job of making players feel powerful from the very beginning of the game, you’ll inevitably run into some tough encounters that might even give you a run for your money. That’s why it’s important to learn how to heal up and restore health whenever you get into trouble. Some classes, like the Mage, can heal up with their abilities. Others will need to rely on more traditional means, like potions....
Monster Hunter World update 4.00 has been released into the wild for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Capcom has announced. This latest free patch for the acclaimed monster-mashing juggernaut adds Lunastra, a female Elder Dragon who coughs up the necessary materials used to cobble together the new Palico armour. She’s also apparently travelling with her mate, Teostra, but reports are ‘unconfirmed,’ says Capcom. The Temporal Mantle, meanwhile, lets you ’nullify damage from powerful attacks by automatically evading....

To say that Mob Psycho 100 has some odd or strange moments in it would be an understatement. Jam-packed with psychics, evil spirits, and odd occurrences galore, the series embraces absurdity and runs with it until there’s literally no other place to go. Such is the reason for the ending of the alien encounter storyline, and if you were confused, worry not. We’re here to unravel the meaning behind Mameta Inukawa’s alien adventure in Mob Psycho 100 Season 3, explained in a way that makes sense....

For Marvel fans who also happen to be avid board game players, it’s time to get excited. Marvel United - an upcoming fast-paced, cooperative board game from tabletop game developers CMON and Spin Master Games - kicked off its Kickstarter campaign on February 11th, and impressively (though perhaps unsurprisingly) hit its funding goal of $150,000 within a mere 31-minutes of going live.

Next, we get new images from Drzewiecki Design showing the upcoming Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) in the United States. This time around, we get a series of comparison shots showing the add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator (below) facing off the version for previous simulators (above)....
Sony has announced the games coming to PlayStation Plus for September on its blog. The lineup is peppered with some pretty decent games such as Infamous Second Son, Child of Light, VR title Rigs and wait for it… Handball 2016. Apparently that’s not a British version of basketball.

Last night, Microsoft revealed the name for the next Xbox at the 2019 Game Awards. The Xbox Series X, as it was announced, has already proven itself to be a divisive moniker. The name and console design point in new directions for a company that’s taking cues from Apple and its own history in PC gaming. Microsoft is promising exciting things for the next generation of Xbox. Its next generation is leaning into the power of xCloud and game streaming, while also seeming to try and crush it on the pure hardware power end....
Few characters define legacy in the DC Universe quite like Starman. Sure, there have been plenty of Flashes, various members of the JSA have passed their mantles down to younger heroes, and every now and then someone new puts on Bruce Wayne’s pointy cowl. But Starman has been a near constant presence for almost 80 years of DC history, although depending on which decade you’re looking at, you’re likely going to be looking at a different Starman....
Kazuhisa Hashimoto, the developer who created what’s rightly thought to be the most famous cheat code in the history of gaming, has passed away at the age of 79. Hashimoto is best known for the Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A hack that could have been found in many old games. Cheat codes aren’t really being used by gamers nowadays, but they were considered a must-have back in the day....
Kunai is a new Metroidvania action platformer from fledging studio Turtleblaze. In this day and age where Metroidvanias practically litter the streets, it’s pretty risky to dip a toe into such an oversaturated genre. To stand out you need to do something innovative or unique to make your game worth choosing over more popular titles like Hollow Knight or Axiom Verge. Or, you could just make a super solid game that’s fun to play, which is what Turtleblaze has done....
The League of Legends 2019 World Championship nears closer, and the groups for the game’s most significant event have been drawn. The tournament starts with a play-in, which will see four surviving teams moving on to the group stage. Twelve teams currently wait in the group stage, ready for the battle to begin.

With E3 come and gone this past June, it is safe to say that event was rather underwhelming. It’s not surprising that plans are pointing towards the ESA rebranding the event to be less industry focused and far more appealing to consumers and fans of the video gaming industry. So far, plans look to shape E3 into more of a Gamescom-like “festival” with up to 10,000 additional consumers in the LA Convention Center....
A new Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 video showcasing the game’s movement system has been released by Treyarch.

With nineteen main games released over the course of over thirty years, The Legend of Zelda has managed to rack up quite the roster of villains. While Ganon ends up the chief antagonist more often than not, the series has never been shy about experimenting with new villains, either in the main antagonistic role or simply as preliminary villains before transitioning into Ganon. Taking into account that there are three distinct timelines all branching from an origin point with a shared history, this means villains who do appear quite often likewise feature many depictions....
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is getting a new Galactic Edition on 1st November that’ll include the base game and a total of 13 Character Packs.
