Love them or hate them, reboots and spiritual successors are simultaneously the easiest and the hardest way for any movie or game franchise to make money. On the one hand, you already have an established audience (take a look at anything Star Wars related and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary). On the other hand, this also means that you have an ...

Following the update to The Division’s Ubisoft Club rewards page that led to some (reasonable) concerns over whether or not The Division will be “pay to win”, Ubisoft’s Community Manager, natchai, stated that “There will be no microtransactions, and definitely no P2W” on Twitter. Normally, this would mean that the case is closed, the mystery is solved, and everyone can go ...

Like most RPGs, The Division has a currency system that lets you get progressively better gear from vendors, offering an alternative to human sacrifices to the Random Number Generator god for good loot. On paper, that sounds fine and dandy in that it guarantees that those who are dedicated to playing the game will be rewarded, even if they are ...

One of the most memorable aspects of Halo: Combat Evolved is the incredibly powerful M6D pistol. Those who beat Halo: CE on Legendary know of its propensity to kill Hunters in a single shot, annihilate Banshees as if they were made of paper, and murder more or less everything that you aim it at. Naturally, it came to be the ...

In Fallout: New Vegas, you could choose between several fairly standard difficulty settings. If you wanted to, you could also choose to turn on Hardcore mode, a setting that can cause you to question your life choices. Among other things, Hardcore mode made it so that your character can suffer from dehydration, hunger, etc., and best of all, each individual ...

If you’ve played Fallout 4, then you probably already know of the greatest companion ever, Preston Garvey. To the enemies that you meet in the main game, he goes by many names: the Settlement Sergeant, the Colonial Crusader, the Boston Boy Scout, and on the list goes. That may be all fine and dandy for the existing enemies of the ...

Following up on one of the largest game releases in recent history, Bethesda has just announced that Fallout 4 will receive a substantial amount of DLC content. Among other things, you will get to go to Maine (to exterminate some dirty synths, if that’s what you’re into), fight the Mechanist and his robots in the Commonwealth, and capture some of the Commonwealth’s ...

Keeping up with their promise of free monthly updates to Halo 5: Guardians, 343 Industries has just announced the return of several classic gamemodes and features to the game. This February, you can expect to be able to grab all sorts of giant, explosive balls in Grifball, Assault, and Fiesta with the Hammer Storm update. Of course, you may ask, “But ...

At the end of the second volume of RWBY, everything seemed to be going so well for all the Huntsmen and Huntresses: Roman Torchwick is locked up in an airship, a Grimm invasion is repelled, and while the rest of the villains aren’t quite accounted for, they at least went back into hiding. True, some people got yelled at for letting ...

From time to time, a modern FPS comes along and presents an interesting story that doesn’t put you in the boots of some super secret special forces guy who has to kill all the terrorists to save the world. The original Homefront does that, whereby the United States is invaded and you are a resistance fighter who is trying to ...
