Though the series has struggled lately (turns out people don’t want weird live-action cutscenes in their racing games), veteran gamers still remember the halcyon days of NFS fondly – and why not? Titles like Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit are classics for a reason. Whether it’s the incredible-looking tracks, the challenging police pursuits, or the 3D-accelerated graphics, the game made a massive splash when it released – and that notoriety has never really gone away....

As part of the Season Pass, Coiled Captors starts off in Dreamveil Overlook, where the fortune teller Vesper awaits. Eons ago, an old god was captured and trapped within the body of a mighty seawarg which was then caged inside an icy mountain. Your goal is to free him from his living prison, which means you will need to wade through snowy wastelands, ruins, and flooding caverns. Here’s what to expect with the forst DLC drop:...

Titan Warfare’s developer, the awesome ninja people, release codes to celebrate milestone events and updates, which means they can appear and disappear quite quickly.

The word featured in Puzzle 505 is very versatile and can be as easily applied to a loaf of bread as it can a long-running sitcom. But while anything can trip up even the most dedicated player, there are a few things you can draw on to make this one easier to figure out. Firstly, the letter in the starting position appears quite frequently - 5 times over the last month in that position alone, in fact....

At the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, Microsoft made sure to let everyone know that Starfield, the highly-anticipated next game from Bethesda Game Studios is exclusive to PC and Xbox. This confirmation wasn’t entirely unexpected; Microsoft hinted at this being the case shortly after it acquired Bethesda for $7.5 billion, but many fans who don’t own an Xbox console or a capable PC were no doubt disappointed by this news. “You don’t ever want to leave people out, right?...

Tony Hawk and Neversoft tell the story of making Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater first appeared on the site on April 26, 2018. In front of 275,000 people, June 27, 1999, at the San Francisco X Games, Tony Hawk tried eleven times to successfully land a 900 degree spin. On his twelfth attempt, he kept the skateboard under his feet and made history. A few months later, Activision released the video game, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and the world grabbed hold of this previously fringe sport eagerly....

While initially great, the heat and hype radiating off Tower of Fantasy whittles away quickly. It’s a flashfire, catching your eye at first before smoldering to a quick and disappointing conclusion, burning up your time (and perhaps your wallet) in that fleeting moment. But what is Tower of Fantasy? First off, it’s not a brand-new game by any means. Released in China some time ago, the action-RPG has now been released globally for both mobile platforms and PC....

For games that used Ubisoft Connect services, Units and Challenges will also be disabled, and this means you will no longer be able to earn Units by completing Challenges for the game. You can still unlock rewards in particular games, but you will not be able to receive them in-game.

That’s the plot synopsis for Mortal Kombat, the 1995 movie based on the popular fighting game. Now we’re getting it in real-life, minus the saving the world part. According to TMZ, UFC president Dana White plans to continue hosting MMA bouts from a private island where there will be fights “every week”. The sporting world is currently trying to figure out how to continue in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, in which mass gatherings are out of the question....

Anyway, cut to now, and we have another Uncharted game – two in fact – running on a handheld, and once again I’ve got that magical feeling. A sense that I’m living the future right now. The Steam Deck, Valve’s superb handheld Linux PC, packs quite the punch (especially when you look at how it’s priced not far from a Switch OLED – a machine way, way less powerful). The Legacy of Thieves Collection combines PS4 hits, Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy, and while I’m sure it runs great on a proper desktop PC, I have played it exclusively “on deck” so to speak....

As per a statement released by the studio, we can expect updates to six of the multiplayer survival game’s six perks (Diversion, Fixated, Hex: Undying, Iron Maiden, Open Handed, and Second Wind) as well as some overarching changes to the game’s HUD and UI. After four years and a tease last year, the developer notes that it feels the time is right to apply a big overhaul to the game that will see widespread changes for both Survivors and Killers....

This comes after League of Legends UX designer Riot Greenily posted a brief clip of her livestream, exposing the harassment she faced while streaming Valorant on Twitch. “It’s like this MOST of the time on solo queue voice comms REGARDLESS of the game I’m playing," writes Greenily, along with a short clip of her encounter with another player in Valorant’s solo queue. “I usually don’t give in to this like in the video; I’m silent in an attempt to not incite more....

The reservation system for ordering a Steam Deck required those willing to wait to leave a small deposit, and placed the buyer into a queue of other reservations. The waiting period for reservations to become shipped out orders has been multiple months, however, with the Steam Deck exceeding what Valve estimated for the system, this long period of waiting has steadily been reduced. As of right now, there simply are no reservations needed or queues when it comes to purchasing a Steam Deck....

The future is unknowable. As are the minds of our deranged panellists, who were asked to pick their nod for next year’s GOTY based on the scraps of info we know about 2023’s game releases and, somehow, none of them picked Starfield. It’s obviously Starfield, you idiots. Check out VG247’s The Best Games Ever Podcast on Apple Podcasts and subscribe. Or listen on Spotify. It’s even on YouTube if that’s your thing....

Ark 2 was one of the more surprising announcements at last week Game Awards. The series has a huge audience, but seeing a revamped take on the game was not something most expected. Especially not with Vin Diesel’s face plastered all over the trailer. It turns out, the actor will be more than just a face. Studio Wildcard has now announced that Vin Diesel has taken a leadership role on their production team....

One day after the mid-season patch for Black Ops Cold War’s Season 2 arrived in the main game, a similar update has now made its way to Warzone. The list of patch notes is significantly smaller, but it does include a couple of crucial changes. First, the AUG tac rifle, currently one of the most dominating long-range weapons in Warzone, has been hit with a nerf. Raven increased the weapon’s base recoil, which inevitably means it’ll be less deadly at long-range engagements....
