We’ve all heard the news by now— on October 15th, Lady Gaga, the Mother Monster herself, innocuously tweeted the one phrase that would whip gamers into a frenzy: “What’s fortnite?” Not a mere day after stirring the pot, she’s done it again by tweeting a simple question at popular streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins: who are you? Now, Lady Gaga is no stranger to gaming, as people might assume— in November of 2018, she surprised gamers by tweeting about her Bayonetta binge that had her staying up until four in the morning trying to get past a boss....

Let’s be real here, Call of Duty Warzone needs a lot of fixes. The game is constantly plagued by exploits that let players use infinite stims and blatant cheaters. As if it weren’t bad enough, developer Raven Software constantly introduces unbalanced weapons that shift Warzone‘s entire meta. You may recall that the Mac-10 from Black Ops Cold War was all the rage just a few weeks ago. However, over the past few days, a new king has shaken up the weapon hierarchy, the Sykov....

Valve has stated that Left 4 Dead 3 is not happening, in response to the report that alleged it was in development after the enthusiastic reception to Half-Life: Alyx (via IGN). “We’ve seen rumours to this effect for the last couple of months,” Valve said in a statement to IGN. “We did briefly explore some Left 4 Dead next opportunities a few years ago. But we are absolutely not working on anything L4D related now, and haven’t for years....

The fifth season of everybody’s favorite, weird and wacky time-traveling superhero series hasn’t even premiered yet, but we’ll be spending plenty of time in the Waverider going forward because Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 has been confirmed by the CW. We sometimes worry a little about our favorite misfits who make up the Legends crew, because the very concept of the series, about a group of misfit superheroes (and the occasional villain) who make their way through history righting wrongs and occasionally causing a few by mistake is pretty specific....

Lumines Remastered, a rejigged version of the acclaimed funky puzzler from Enhance Games, is launching on PlayStation 4, PC, Switch, and Xbox One on June 26. This is slightly later than expected, as the game was originally targeting a May release window. ‘You’ve been waiting long enough. Can you wait just a little longer?’ the dev said on Twitter. The rhythmic puzzle romp was originally released for the PlayStation Portable, and arrives on modern consoles in snazzy high-definition complete with single-player and multiplayer modes....

Microsoft has released a new interview featuring Xbox Live’s Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hryb and the Xbox senior director of planning, Albert Penello, as they discuss what we can expect from the upcoming Xbox One X console. They talked about what the Xbox One X Enhanced program is, with Penello saying that, ‘Games are gonna do different things, but all of them fall under the same Xbox One X Enhanced banner’. What’s clear from the video is that not all of the Xbox One games will sport the same enhancements, and Penello says that the level of enhancements is up to the developer....

All horror fans wait with bated breaths of excitement (and fear) as the next installment in the Man of Medan series slowly surfaces, like the creeping darkness itself. Pulling back the curtain even further, Bandai Namco and Supermassive Games have finally announced that Little Hope will be making its fear-inducing introduction this summer with as much of a twisted and terrifying story as the last. And, like its predecessor, Little Hope only invites more creepiness the deeper players slide into the fog-riddled world....

The Marvel’s Avengers’ Twitter account has revealed a closer look at Captain America’s outfit in the upcoming game, and it takes influences from his militaristic roots. The outfit looks keen to set itself apart from the popular film franchise. Since Crystal Dynamics revealed the E3 footage for Marvel’s Avengers to the public, it has begun outlining its versions of the franchise’s popular characters. The company has released a steady drip of details about the game since the trailer reveal, and the latest gives fans a close-up look at The First Avenger himself: Captain America....

Whether or not Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy would work always hinged on the characters. If Eidos-Montréal didn’t get those right, the entire game would miss the mark. Having the team behind the last couple of Deus Ex games was certainly a surprising choice. But I was confident that the folks at Eidos could build a narrative backbone and cast of characters that do this franchise justice. Lo and behold, they have....

Where has the time gone? Can you believe that Xbox Live first went, well, live 20 years ago? But, yes, it really has been that long. On 15th November 2002, Xbox Live (now known, at least officially, as the Xbox network) arrived in our lives, adding online capability to the original Xbox. The service’s popularity saw a steady increase after the launch of Halo 2 and, needless to say, Microsoft has not looked back since....

John Lennon’s Imagine, which just saw the release of an Ultimate Collection spread across four CDs and two Blu-ray discs, is best known for its title song. “Imagine” envisioned an anti-authoritarian nutopia, without the need of heaven, hell, countries or border walls. Critics blasted Lennon’s soft anthem as soft politics and the singer an armchair liberal who sent his protests via limousine. Elvis Costello chided “was it a millionaire who said imagine no possessions?...

We’ve known for some time that Harrison Ford would reprise his role as the iconic archeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones in a fifth installment of the franchise and that Ford V Ferrari filmmaker James Mangold would be directing the project.

Empire Magazine has revealed two covers featuring Ford, with one showing him in the classic fedora and the other with him standing in 1960s-era New York City....
