This is part 6 of our PC Building series.  You upgrade your computer because you want a PC that’s more powerful. It’s really as simple as that. Where things get more complicated is when it comes time to decide just how powerful you want your PC to be. That may sound like a strange problem, but the

Diablo is going mobile with Diablo Immortal. Described as a “full-fledged action RPG,” Diablo Immortal will serve as direct follow-up to Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.

However, it feels

Microsoft is expanding its Xbox All Access program to include an upgrade option for Xbox Scarlett.  For those who don’t know, the Xbox All Access program allows you to essentially finance an Xbox console by paying for it over a period of 24 months.

Ubisoft has confirmed that they are working on a new PvE shooter based on the Rainbow Six series called Rainbow Six Quarantine.  Before you start thinking that Ubisoft would go and do something like replace Rainbow Six Siege despite their promises to continue to support the game, it doesn’t appear that’s the case.

I am Iron Man… for 10 minutes or so. After watching Robert Downey Jr. swoop around the big screen for over a decade, who wouldn’t want to step into the iconic red and gold armor to take flight in Iron Man VR? When the upcoming experience was being demoed on the show floor at EGX

When it was announced that The Outer Worlds would let you assemble a squad of companions, few people knew exactly what to make of that information. After all, the popular narrative surrounding The Outer Worlds concerned its status as the spiritual sequel to Fallout: New Vegas. While there were companions in Fallout: New Vegas, their

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Ah, the ’80s. The decade of video nasties, The A-Team, Boy George, and Ronald Reagan. A time of conspicuous consumption and voluminous hair, the ’80s were also the decade when video games rapidly evolved, from the blocky 8-bit computers and consoles at its beginning to the more powerful

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. It may have only been six years ago, but it feels long ago.

The handheld’s ability to flick

We’ve stopped laughing long enough to bring you news that Bethesda is now offering a monthly (or yearly) subscription plan for Fallout 76.  For either $12.99 a month (Hahahahaha) or $99.99 a year (Bwhahahahaha) you can access a premium Fallout 76 subscription plan known as Fallout 1st.

Goichi “Suda51” Suda (creator of No More Heroes and Killer 7) and Hidetaka “Swery65” Suehiro (creator of the infamous Deadly Premonition) are teaming up to work on a new horror game seemingly known as Hotel Barcelona.  Everything about this announcement is strange, so you’re going to have to bear with us as we try to sort

Thanos has been modded into Super Smash Bros Ultimate, with fans working together to splice the Mad Titan into the beloved Nintendo Switch game. Who wouldn’t want to see Josh Brolin’s big purple baddie from Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame going toe to toe with Italian plumbers, cute creatures and other Nintendo characters? The

It’s hard to be the less successful brother, and that’s pretty much what Capcom’s Darkstalkers series is. The series will always live in the shadow of the Street Fighter franchise…which is pretty appropriate because, you know, it’s all about darkness and shadows and stuff. Despite never getting a next-gen remake or real update, it’s still pretty impressive for

It sounds like the cult classic Okami franchise isn’t quite done yet, as Okami director Hideki Kamiya and artist Ikumi Nakamura are teasing what sounds like a potential upcoming sequel.  This one is a bit odd, but recently, Nakamura posted a video on her Twitter account which shows her standing with Kamiya in what appears to be the

If you were to paint the death of the Gothic horror film genre in the style of Julius Caesar’s murder, it would be tempting to portray Alfred Hitchcock as the man holding the bloodiest dagger. In the ‘50s, Hammer Film Productions successfully rescued the horror genre from promotional gimmicks and science fiction by reviving the

You walk down 42nd street as the rain falls slowly all-around you. You tip your hat lower to shield yourself from the rain and block your face from the strange faces that feel as if they suddenly know you. Eventually, you reach a run down theater manned by a dead-eyed attendant. Above you, upon the

If you choose to stick with Fallout 76 through 2020, you’ll eventually get to interact with human NPCs in the game’s Wastelanders expansion.
