War never changes. Sometimes war gets stuck in traffic and shows up fashionably late. Activision has pushed back Black Ops Cold War's season one content drop from December 10 to December 16. There's good reason for the slight delay. As Acti...

Did you finish the new Deep Stone Crypt raid in Destiny 2? Well, you still have plenty of time to do it going forward, but if you wanted the jacket, you had until December 1. As it turns out, a lot of people tried to get that jacket, as Bun...

This past week, Bethesda unleashed their Steel Dawn update for Fallout 76, a follow-up to their big Wastelanders expansion earlier this year. Like the latter, Steel Dawn was also free, and is seemingly being fueled by the game's Fallout 1st...

Filters. Everyone uses 'em, and that's why everyone has a dog nose or big anime eyes. A photo doesn't make its way online anymore without some touchups and enhancements. That's life in the Insta-age. Most everyone expects Cyberpunk 2077&nb...

Ares killed his family, so now he's going to kill 99 of you guys while flossing.  On the heels of yesterday's Galactus-vanquishing event, Epic has new theatrics lined up for Fortnite. God-killer Kratos has leaked as the next crossover....

You really got to give it to 343 Industries and their support of the Halo: Master Chief Collection. It's still a marquee title for the Xbox brand in that it basically collects every Halo game ever made in one place: and it's still live...

Tired: Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Wired: Doom Eternal is a Christmas video game. Is the logic and thematic connection there? Probably not, but a lot of new people will try Doom Eternal in December. Microsoft has announced...

[Update: Bethesda has posted an "everything you need to know" blowout post following the trailer below. It goes over everything from the main story, to shelters, to potential bundles.]  Microsoft got in on Bethesda at a decent tim...

Cyberpunk 2077 will be a very large game. We already figured as much -- this is the same developer that gave us Witcher 3 after all -- but reports have come out recently that it's certainly possible to squeeze a couple hundred hou...

It's still weird thinking about a Bethesda release being a "Microsoft" release. But this is one of the first major ports or game launches since the big publisher acquired the smaller one. We were worried about Doom Eternal on Switch fo...

If you've been slipping under the new Destiny 2: Beyond Light era, you aren't alone. The "wow" factor and splendor of expansions has been missing since Forsaken, as Bungie is struggling to deliver content with a big impact ever since i...

They're deleting saves, hard-locking consoles, and blocking progression. It truly is anarchy in the UK. Watch Dogs: Legion kind of sucks -- a hollow game hamstrung by its insistence that any character can be the main protagonist, ...

I know what you're thinking. "Frontiersman? In this economy?!?" You can make it happen with a single Abraham Lincoln -- who was very tall, possibly a frontiersman, and definitely a pretty swell guy. Rockstar is breaking Red Dead Online...

On "N.Y. State of Mind, Nas rapped "Gave another squeeze, heard it click, 'Yo, my shit is stuck!' Tried to cock it, it wouldn't shoot, now I'm in danger. Finally pulled it back and saw three bullets caught up in the chamber." If I...

Another expansion, another Destiny 2 raid. Although I've bowed out of the excitement a bit of new Destiny raids these past few weeks for multiple reasons, Bungie is still doing their "world first" streamer-focused events; the next of w...

The critical path turns into the golden path for two lucrative weeks inside Borderlands 3. Gearbox has a new mini-event with plenty of incentive to run and rerun those story missions. In the Borderlands 3 Golden Path Mini-Event, Gearb...

Strap in, you're about to get 500CCs of straight lore injected right into your veins. Stitching together all the details of the Fallout universe wasn't particularly easy in vanilla Fallout 76. There were no NPCs, thus there was no one to t...

I had one recurring takeaway during this five-minute Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay trailer, even though it's something that has been at the forefront of my mind ever since CD Projekt Red's fantastic showing at E3 2018. Hell, I'm sure you've...

In today's contest you can win a Switch copy of Sniper Elite 4! Switches be portin'! Or ports be Switchin'! One of those two. What I'm trying to say is the Switch gets a lot of cool ports, including today's faire: Sniper Elite 4. So, you kn...

Gears 5 got a lot more technically-impressive with the launch of Xbox Series X. Versus mode runs at 120fps now, input latency has been reduced upward of 57 percent. The Coalition has managed to squeeze a lot more performance out of thi...

We're smack dab in the middle of the gulf between last-gen and new-gen consoles, as we have to account for what games look like on both sets of machines. Obviously, things look best on PS5 and Xbox Series X right now, but how much better? ...

Still play Overwatch? I do! It's still a great way for me to unwind (ha, for many it's the opposite) on both PC and Switch; trying to steal away a few games here and there in bed in portable mode on the latter platform. For all of you who a...

Of all the upcoming games showcased at The Game Awards -- and there's always a whole bunch -- Halo Infinite won't be one of them. 343 community director Brian Jarrard confirmed that the delayed and possibly-troubled Halo game is s...

People are still playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint. These games have a tradition of launching in offensively bad states before gradually morphing into something passable. It's not something that should be celebrated, but I guess it's something...

The cat's out of the bag, and good thing the cat's got nine lives. Arkane's Deathloop and its endless lather, rinse, repeat cycle is set for next May. Except this isn't shampoo. It's murder and death. Yesterday, the New Zealand PlaySt...
