We’ve recently heard that EA moved Criterion off of its as-yet-untitled Need for Speed game in order to help EA DICE with Battlefield 6, and now it seems we’re due for an update on the anticipated FPS quite soon, too. As per a livestream with GamesBeat’s Jeff Grub – a trusted sleuth and reliable source for information about publisher’s plans – Electronic Arts is targeting a May reveal ahead of some E3-adjacent plans later in the year....
To illustrate the point about how little value you get for money in Overwatch 2’s in-game store, one player has purchased a charm – a charm that you can get in-game, as well – in real life. The kicker? It cost less money to pick the Pachimari charm IRL than it does in-game. The Pachimari – which you may remember as the toy in the Hanamura “UFO catchers” in the first game – resembles an onion with a smiling face and green tentacles, and has become something of an Overwatch mascot since the game first launched in 2016....
Since the original release, Sucker Punch has gone on to put out several sequels to the film noir stealth action series up until The Sly Collection in 2014. That was sadly the last Sly game that was released, with the developer focusing on the Infamous series and recently Ghost of Tsushima in 2020. Jack Quaid has actually featured in some video games in the past, although not in the primary role he has on The Boys....
John Wick Hex is heading to PlayStation 4 on May 5 in both Europe and North America. The game features an original story based on the John Wick universe. If you perform well as Wick and progress in the main story mode, you will unlock new weapons, suit options and locations. Each weapon changes up the tactics you’ll use, and just remember that ammo is finite and realistically simulated. This means you will need to scavenge weapons you find while out on a job....
First things first, let’s break down what you get with the launch package of KoF 15. Overall, it’s a fairly standard selection for a fighting game at release, with a few sweet standouts that help bolster up the total offering. You’ve got your local versus and training modes that you’d expect from any fighting game, alongside the game’s dedicated story mode – an arcade mode with some unexpected flourishes that plastered a big grin across my face....
Today, Carcassonne and Ticket to Ride are your free games through the Epic Games Store. Carcassonne is the official adaptation of the board game and is a tile-placement game.

If you haven’t been on Lego Ideas, however, let me quickly explain it for you. Fans can submit ideas (get it?) for Lego sets, providing proof of concepts for what they might look like. Sometimes it’s simple things like a car, but there have actually been some notable licenced entries, like a Steamboat Willie set. So of course, fans have attempted to get some Zelda sets through, but according to Brick Fanatics, that won’t be possible any more....
To buy the entire 2020 line-up of the new Lego Super Mario toys gets expensive. While the initial starter set which includes Mario himself is decently priced, to get everything else would run into the hundreds. Every set offers something different, too - and in the shop, staring down ten different boxes of Lego Mario expansion packs, it can be hard to know which to choose. Lucky for you, there’s a resident Lego nerd on VG247....
The novel, which will be subtitled Steph’s Story, will follow main character Steph Gingrich and her bandmate, Izzie, as they go on tour. This is the same tour that eventually lands them in Haven Springs, where the game True Colors plays out. This prequel is not the first time that Life is Strange has experimented with other mediums, with the series also having multiple comics attached to it since it’s conception in 2015....
If you’re only familiar with Dontnod as the developer of the not particularly action oriented Life is Strange series, this might be a bit of a surprise genre shift. But the developer is also behind 2018’s Vampyr, the success of which is noted in the game’s reveal trailer. In Banshiers, you play as “two proficient ghost hunters and lovers, faced with impossible choices and their dramatic consequences for the living… and the dead....

Across the 8 parts of this guide, we’ll cover all of the game’s major puzzles.

After a brief introduction from Superbowl winning Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, we got a first glimpse at live gameplay running on the version of Madden’s engine that EA has optimized for the Xbox Series X.

Since all meaningful content Marvel’s Avengers received post-launch has been free, Game Pass members will be getting the full experience.

Marvel’s Avengers will also support cross-generation multiplayer within the same console family....
Last night’s Marvel’s Avengers segment in the Square Enix Presents showcase brought us a first look at Black Panther, and the promise of new content later this year. Crystal Dynamics also shared a look at the game’s 2021 roadmap, which was one of the more underwhelming moments of the presentation, in part because the image shown wasn’t very descriptive. But there’s good news, because an expanded version of the same roadmap (below) was later revealed on the official blog....
