Nintendo shares have risen to a six-year high on the back of the amazing success of Pokemon GO, seeing the firm’s market value climb 86 per cent since last Thursday, reports Reuters. That’s almost $15 billion added to Nintendo’s value in a week. “When you look at the way it’s becoming a social phenomenon in the US, the rally is understandable even though it’s not clear yet how much it will boost profits,” said Toshiyuki Kanayama, a markets analyst at Monex Securities....

The original story, posted on February 23, is as follows. Nvidia’s plan to deter Ethereum miners may have just been foiled. The Lite Hash Rate algorithm designed for RTX 30 Series cards was a big step in favor of PC gamers. It made the RTX 30 Series graphics cards far less efficient at mining for Ethereum. That same limiter may no longer be enough though, as VideoCards reports that a bypass to get around it has seemingly been found....

PlayStation has revealed the three games that will be offered at no extra cost to PlayStation Plus subscribers in April, and it’s a corker of a month with three excellent games on offer. As previously revealed, this month’s PlayStation 5 offering is Oddworld: Soulstorm, the long awaited follow-up to Oddworld: New ’n’ Tasty launching straight into PS Plus. Playing as reluctant hero Abe in an all new adventure, you’ll have to use your wits and perhaps your fellow mudokons to survive deadly traps and liberate your friends....

Today Bandai Namco released another extensive trailer of the upcoming JRPG One Piece Odyssey. Looks like Alabasta won’t be the only familiar location created from our heroes’ memories that we’ll get to visit in the game. Apparently the same will happen with Water 7, bringing back another very emotional arc from the original manga and anime. Today we get to see the reveal in the new trailer, and of course, Nico Robin plays a big part in it....

Rumors have been swirling regarding the potential announcement of Overwatch 2 at BlizzCon 2019. Many of those early leaked details about Overwatch 2 are reportedly true, according to ESPN, which claims to have access to an official BlizzCon 2019 “training document.” This document, as well as the source that provided it, confirm that Overwatch 2 will be announced at BlizzCon 2019 and that it will feature a new character announcement, a new multiplayer mode, as well as early details about a robust PvE-focused story mode....

It’s hard to know what to say about a game like Might and Magic Heroes: Era of Chaos. It’s two games, really. The first is a linear series of missions that offer some simple tactical choices, but never really does much to engage the player. The second, which you can’t access until you’ve reached level 20, is an experimental multiplayer game that manages to capture the spirit of the old Heroes of Might and Magic games....

The Creeping Winter DLC for Minecraft Dungeons will launch on September 8, along with a free update that adds daily challenges and new merchants. New levels, mobs, gear, and more will arrive with the DLC, which will be free to those who bought the Hero Edition of the game.

Mojang Studios also announced that Minecraft Dungeons will see a free update roll out on launch day, which will likely comprise of general fixes and improvements to the game....

If you’re the sort that regularly enjoys checking out new Minecraft features ahead of their official launch via the Bedrock Beta programme, you’ll likely be pleased to hear that developer Mojang is simplifying the whole process with a new standalone Preview app. Currently, those wanting to trial future Minecraft Bedrock features are required to download the Xbox Insider Hub, sign up to the beta programme (turning Bedrock into the beta version), then embark on the somewhat cumbersome process of switching back and forth between the release and beta builds as needed....

With the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, players have been excited to see the series go back to a more grounded experience, but this is not to say the game is without any issues. Specifically, some players have taken issue with the trophy system, as they feel it doesn’t adequately protect them from enemy explosives. According to the co-design director of multiplayer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Joe Cecot, there are some changes planned for the trophy system....

There are few things in online gaming more infuriating than finding oneself getting killed repeatedly by a player who takes advantage of unfair glitches to get ahead. Inversely, there are few things more satisfying that making that player pay for it. This week a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare player experienced both this frustration and joy during a round of Ground War. It’s no secret that the latest COD game has had and continues to have a fair number of bugs that have interfered with players’ ability to enjoy the game as intended, resulting in unintentionally overpowered weapons and a spawn system that can kill players instantly, to name a few....

Throughout the 1990s, the Mortal Kombat franchise experimented somewhat extensively with media outside of video games. Since the series reached its first peak in popularity at the time, it made sense for studios and companies to adapt Mortal Kombat to film and television. The series’ multimedia ventures took an extended hiatus throughout the 2000s and 2020s aside from Mortal Kombat: Legacy, but now that recent mainline installments like Mortal Kombat 11 have sold like hotcakes, it seems that Warner Bros....

As part of the Tremor Bundle players will also receive the Klassic Skins Pack 2, which includes new character skins for Quan Chi, Jax and Kung Lao....

Last month, we all fell in love with Lala, the adorable voice actor for the cat in Stray and her excellent purrformance in the game. But it seems that Lala isn’t the only cat voice actor to be featured in a video game this year. Isabella Gates, also known as Izzy, is a beautiful black and white feline who plays the role of Snickerdoodle in Saints Row, which releases later this month....

Originally announced for the Nintendo DS back in 2008, Ni no Kuni: Another World is now coming to Sony’s PlayStation 3 as well. The game is a collaboration between renowned developer Level 5 (Professor Layton, Dragon Quest 9), animation powerhouse Studio Ghibli (My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Ponyo), and Ghibli’s award winning composer, Joe Hisaishi. The first trailer and screens for the PS3 iteration of the game have just been released....

My Hero Academia has only been around for a few years, but it’s already gained mass acclaim and become one of the most popular anime series in years. The series consistently pushes its characters to challenging new places, but it can be difficult for supplemental feature films to capture the same level of importance and feel like they’re not stuck inside of some non-canonical bubble. My Hero Academia’s first film, Two Heroes, was considered a success by fans, but the series is now in a more complex place where its endgame is increasingly on its mind....

Pathea Games has announced that My Time at Sandrock will finally launch into Early Access on PC via Steam and the Epic Game Store in late May. The game is the follow-up to the 2018 adventure-cross-farming-life sim My Time at Portia. Players will arrive in the all-new city of Sandrock and once again take on the role of the city’s Builder. It’s your job to revitalise the region, transforming it from post-apocalyptic waste town to bustling metropolis....

When playing any sports video game, it’s important to have fun. And one of the best ways to do so, is by tapping into all the various, creative forms of scoring and succeeding in the game, something that really comes to life in NBA 2K23. The alley-oop play is a prime example of just that and represents one of the many unique ways you can score. Commonly used off pick-and-roll plays, the alley-oop when mastered is not only a flashy scoring method that’s fun to pull off, but is also a difficult one for defenders to disrupt....

Need For Speed Heat’s latest update allows the game’s gas stations to fix players’ cosmetic bumps and scrapes instead of just fixing the vehicle’s performance. Need For Speed is one of, if not the most established racing game franchise of all time. NFS first entered the racing game scene all the way back in 1994 and is still going strong today. Although its heyday arguably took place during the early 2000s via installments such as Underground and Most Wanted, 2019 saw the release of NFS Heat....
