A lot has been made in the run up toThe Super Mario Bros. Movieabout how much the castreallyplays video games. Maybe a little too much, when you consider Chris Pratt has been able to fight dinosaurs and aliens on screen with little (perhaps no) experience of either two. Mario is one of the most famous video game characters ever, and even with only the most casual interest in gaming, everyone on Earth has heard of him....

EvenCyberpunk 2077’s biggest fans would admit that it got a lot of things wrong. Because of a troubled and expensive development cycle featuring multiple delays (and a game that still launched way too soon), a lot of the original vision was compromised or shorn off in order to get the game into a vaguely working state,a task the studio ultimately failed at. However, an almost universally agreed opinion is that they got the music right - but the sequel needs to double down....

I’ve been sitting in a state of disbelief since finishing the Lightfall campaign. Bungie has spent years meticulously moving pieces around on a cosmic chess board, and it was all to lead us to this moment. Lightfall was meant to be the culmination of years of storytelling, the beginning of the end of the last battle between good and evil, and a cards on the table moment for our ultimate foe, The Witness, who is finally stepping out of the shadows....

Perhaps more than any other FromSoftware game, opting for a mage build inElden Ringis likely one of the most forgiving entry points when compared to other Soulslike titles. It allows you to hurl powerful spells at a distance, often making short work of your enemies before they lay a hand on you. All that power has its downsides, as the armor often offers little to no protection while out exploring in the Lands Between....

Update 0.13.0.3 just hitEscape from Tarkovwith a number of bug fixes, including one that turns players invisible. The bug was similar to one that’s come up in Warzonea number of times, but hopefully developer BattleState Games is able to keep this bug from coming back. There’s a laundry list of other bug fixes in today’s patch, but before we get to them, let’s hit the biggest new feature to come to Escape from Tarkov....

Fortniteseason two launched last week and we’ve all had the weekend to get to grips with it. Whether that’s exploring Mega City or getting a feel forthe new Havoc Pump shotgun. You might have noticed a lack of supply drops so far this season. That’s because the crates have been vaulted. Chests are naturally the easiest way to find weapons, followed by Llamas if you’re able to catch one. Supply drops are far rarer and are usually packed with a lot of great loot....

Grand Theft Autois one of gaming’s best loved series, especially since the third entry heralded the move into 3D. Pioneering open worlds, with large maps that featured many NPCs following their own scripts, these games were big enough to contain easter eggs, secrets, and mysteries. WhileGTA 3contained its fair share of secrets, such as The Hidden Sign (“You weren’t supposed to be able get here you know”), andVice Cityfeaturedan actual eggfound in a hidden room that required some parkour to reach, it wasSan Andreasthat seemed veritably stuffed with secrets and mysteries since it was by far the biggest of the games to date....

The finished version of a leaked commercial is finally up as Nintendo continues its marketing campaign forThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

But there’s one thing Nintendo players are making sport of too, making fun of the Switch....

Some of the most popular games today revolve around conflict, and titles with stories that have no problems whatsoever are in the minority. You may be the hero or the villain, but there always seem to be a few people in your corner. At the very least, not everyone is out to get you. Related:Best Games Where You Are The Villain Some games flip that concept over its head and say, “just because you’re the main character doesn’t mean all the NPCs have to love you....
