Riot Games is back with another skin bundle, and this time around it’s a special one — the Daedalus design that was first leaked a few months ago. It’s now renamed ‘ChronoVoid’ and has today been revealed in full, featuring a very cool magic-tech vibe reminiscent of League of Legends. The bundle is an XE tier, replete with custom animations, kill banners, finishers, and everything you’d expect from the most expensive bundles in the game....

Tyler Blevins, better known as “Ninja” in the Fortnite community, is facing severe backlash for doing the unthinkable: promoting himself. It all started with Epic Games’ new program called Support-A-Creator. During this event, players can choose to enter a specific code when they spend V-Bucks. This code will tell Epic that the player wants to support a Fortnite-based content creator, and the creator will get a portion of the spent V-Bucks....

Around the time Power Rangers In Space was airing, Fox Kids aired a special entitled Power Rangers Funniest Moments. On the surface it was a clip show, but it was a comedic masterpiece that also gave yours truly his first glimpse at Super Sentai. As a joke, the special included clips from several Super Sentai series, including one of some blue henchmen dancing in the streets of Japan. As a kid watching it all I could think was, “What the hell is that from?...

Oh, I remember this. Move the sofa. Push back the chairs. And then every game begins with something that takes me back almost 40 years, to Music and Movement at infants school. Find a space, reach out your arms to make sure you don’t touch anything and knock anyone over. You’re ready. Just the thought of this is enough to bring back the smell of every school hall that has ever existed: floor polish, dust, feet....

Hello Games has released a new update for No Man’s Sky that adds the ByteBeat device which brings along the ability for players to make their own electronic music from scratch within the game. Once you’ve aquired the blueprints from the Space Anomaly, you’ll be able to place the devices in your base which then will play a pattern of procedurally generated music, but players can then go in and edit these with full sequencer and synchroniser interfaces to tweak these and modify the instruments, drums and tempos....

One of the most popular games to hit the market in 2019, The Outer Worlds, will be getting a DLC in the coming year, Obsidian has confirmed. In a forum post thanking their fans for the support they’ve shown both the game and the team, they added that “the journey isn’t over yet” and that more details would be available at a later date.

Since Sony revealed the PS5 logo, it’s been abundantly clear that the new console is on its way to a proper announcement. The company has, after all, been talking far more about its plans for the next generation over the last few months, and with recent moves by the media giant seemingly leading to something big, it’s not out of the question for fans to expect it will all come to a head very soon....

They almost got the official name right this time. For years, it was Onechanbara, despite that’s not how that word is spelled. Now it’s Onee Chanbara, even though it’s a portmanteau and should be one word. Unfortunately, this inability to stick to proper naming conventions is probably the most interesting thing about Onee Chanbara Origin, which manages to be a step back from the previous game, while changing things just enough to make it noticeably different....

The complete version of Outriders is out and players all over are wildly excited. The game features some realistic graphics in its persuasion for a life-like experience. Motion Blur is an important part of this gameplay experience that mimics real life. Being a new-gen console game such features are second nature to it. However, sometimes it acts more like a hindrance than a proper developmental feature. Some players prefer to have it turned off so as to maximize their frame rates and have a smoother gameplay experience....

Rise of the Tomb Raider will feature microtransactions, Crystal Dynamics has confirmed. The in-game purchases will allow players to buy a range of gameplay-modifying Expedition Cards that grant access to various boosts and bonus features, including a Big Head mode, to be used in modes outside of the main campaign.

That’s it folks! PAX Prime 2010 has come to a close and day three was just as surprising and different as the previous two days. Today can be characterized with a single word: rage. It seemed like a majority of attendants, staff and everyone else were angry as hell, whether due to lack of sleep, hangovers, or the impending return to the real world. The coffee lady in the morning, the old security guys at the expo gate, the booth babes, the pr folk, the attendees waiting in line, and especially the PAX ‘Enforcers’....

The Call of Duty Next event gave us a brand new trailer for Modern Warfare 2 ahead of its release next month. The trailer showcased both games in action – with plenty of bombast and gravitas teasing new features like the aquatic combat, to name but a few.
