Todd Howard is everywhere these days, including on stage at today’s Apple event where the company showed off the new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. The new devices were the perfect chance to show off more of the new handheld RPG The Elder Scrolls: Blades , and the Bethesda director promised big things for the mobile spin-off of its hit fantasy series. We didn’t get to see too much actual gameplay – not when Apple had other products to sell – but The Elder Scrolls: Blades looked fantastic on the li

Did you know that today, September 12, is National Video Games Day? (Mind you it’s not to be confused with National Video Game Day, which occurs on July 8 and yes, there are really two days and the only difference is a single letter.) The Far Cry series has always excelled at being, more or less, a mayhem simulator, and Far Cry 5 is no different. Original Xbox games are 16% off already-reduced prices at GameStop . A bunch of original Xbox games are currently on sale (including Panzer Dragoon Ort

Not only were viewers spamming the news all over social media just seconds after it happened, but some media outlets even tweeted the news not long after. Boiling it down to the overly-simplified answer of ‘stay off social media, then’ doesn’t cut it. Plus, it’s unreasonable to ask someone to stay off social media because there’s a chance they’ll hear some jerk broadcasting a spoiler. While the majority of personal social media accounts (celebrities notwithstanding) have no social obligations to

Until two days ago, my interest in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was… less than optimal. But then there’s Blackout; Black Ops 4’s battle royale mode in which 80+ players base jump into a massive map and duke it out until a single survivor (or team) is left standing. I can already see it becoming the source of many a humorous internet clip once Black Ops 4 releases in full next month. If sacrificing singleplayer was the cost for Blackout’s inclusion to Black Ops 4, it’s a cost that I’m becoming incre

Nintendo’s online service for Switch – the aptly-named Nintendo Switch Online – finally has a launch date: September 18. Nintendo Switch Online is a premium online service, much like Microsoft’s Xbox Live or Sony’s PlayStation Network. Are there any online features I don’t need Nintendo Switch Online for? Do I need multiple Nintendo Switch Online accounts if I have multiple users? Starting September 18, you’ll be able to purchase your Nintendo Switch Online sub via the Nintendo eShop, Nintendo.c

Patrick Stewart’s original turn – as detailed by TIME’s comprehensive Star Trek timeline breakdown – in Star Trek: The Next Generation ended in 2379. If Chabon’s hints and nudges are correct, that also marks something truly historic for the new Star Trek TV show. As of 2018, including Star Trek Discovery, the Original Series, the J.J. Abrams movies, and all the rest of it, the TV and movie canon has never strayed into the 25th Century. Star Trek, for the first time in a long, long time, has cart

When we reviewed Forza Horizon 3, we were extremely impressed, but there were three main areas that left clear room for improvement. Track design in Forza Horizon 3 was always just a little bit bland. In Forza Horizon 4, it would appear that ‘amazing’ is the new ‘normal’. We’re seriously looking at – potentially – not only the best Forza Horizon game, but also the best open-world racer in years, putting The Crew 2 to shame. Forza Horizon 4 is coming to Xbox One and PC on October 2.

Even at a glance, it’s plain to see that the visuals in the Forza series are swiftly approaching total photorealism – and Forza Horizon 4 cranks the graphical fidelity up further with its focus on the constantly changing seasons. Though I swear I’m an animal lover, curiosity got the better of me, and I had to know if racers could run over the flocks of virtual sheep that mill about the open fields of Forza Horizon 4’s Britain. “It’s really hard to make sheep – that move in a sort of semi-believa

Everyone this side of the Mississippi is clamoring for Red Dead Redemption 2 , but let’s not forget Rockstar’s other perpetually popular moneymaker, GTA Online . Sure, those gas guzzlers are all well and good, but they pale in comparison to what you can get for free by logging in to GTA Online between now and September 17. More money-minded folks will want to jump into the chaotic Trading Places (Remix) mode this week, which is currently doling out twice the GTA$ and RP. Other bonuses include do

It’s not easy to win though, so if you’re struggling, take heed of our top Black Ops 4 Blackout tips for the beta. It’s possible to fly to any corner of the map no matter where you jump from, as long as you know how. Use consumable perks as you find themSomething unique to Blackout is the consumable perks you can find lying on the floor. That’s fine in Fortnite since you can build your own cover but in Blackout, you’re going to want to stick to buildings and behind cover as much as possible. Her

It’s not as if you’re going to run out of things to do in Marvel’s Spider-Man anytime soon, not with all those side mission infesting Marvel’s Manhattan like a super fun chicken pox – but developer Insomniac has confirmed that it’s currently putting the finishing touches to a New Game Plus update. That’s all we know so far, but our spider sense tells us we can expect the usual opportunity to play through the game again, focusing on upgrading all our gadgets, unlocking some of those trickier-to-c

“I’ve got to end the broadcast right now, someone shot at our house,” Beahm says on the stream after removing his trademark Dr Disrespect wig and glasses. This is the second shot, someone shot yesterday, at our fucking house and someone shot again right now, connected with the house, upstairs.” He has since has since updated the subtitle on his Twitch stream to reassure his viewers, so it now reads “Doc and Family Are Safe. 36 year-old Beahm has around 2.5 million followers on Twitch, and won th

Pokemon Go’s green map shines brightly out of the darkness, every glimpse a little moment of home in an alien new city. How to catch all the Pokemon Go legendariesThe Pokemon Go Safari Zone in Yokosuka is the final event in a summer of success for Niantic. After a victorious Pokemon Go Fest in Chicago as the team finally delivered a perfect event for the city, it was time to take Pokemon home again.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (2010)Shattered Dimensions was Beenox’s first real Spider-Man title, following its successful ports of old games like Ultimate Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Friend or Foe. I wish we could have done a Shattered Dimensions 2, as there’s so much content to draw inspiration from in the comics. Edge of Time took place in two different Spider-Man universes, down from Shattered Dimension’s four, as the Amazing Spider-Man worked with Spider-Man 2099 to stop a powerful foe t

Everybody loves a special edition console, what with their unique color schemes and limited nature. But what about a special console that also looks like not one, but two Pokemon? Well I hope so, because two Pokemon: Let’s Go Switch bundles are coming November 16, and their cuteness cannot be denied. You can get the Pokemon: Let’s Go Eevee special edition Switch bundle – which comes with a Nintendo Switch featuring a special design and uniquely colored Joy-Con controllers, a copy of Pokemon: Let

There are a few challenging puzzles in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but this is the one that had me stumped for the longest. It consists of a room with four mirrors, which can all be turned to redirect light from above onto green nodes on various pieces of equipment. The fundamental thing to know about this tomb is you need to forget about trying to raise the central platform. Once you know that piece of information, it’s actually a relatively simple process, which is:Turn 1 to the left node (far

Longtime Call of Duty fans will have fond memories of the Ray Gun. While it’s iconic for killing zombies so efficiently, the gun can now be used on other players in the new Black Ops 4 Blackout battle royale mode. How do you get the Black Ops 4 Blackout Ray Gun? There’s a chance that one of them will drop the Ray Gun on the floor. Alongside the Ray Gun, there’s a number of other older weapons you can find including the Galil, Zweihander and Essex Model 07.
