May is officially here, which means it’s time to say goodbye to Moltres and hello to Zapdos! The Breakthrough Research rewards seem to be shifting on a calendar month rotation, so gamers are now able to start encountering the electric- flying- type legendary from Gen 1. Although just adding Zapdos to the Pokedex may be exciting enough for gamers who failed to catch the bird during last summer’s Battle Raid appearance, the Pokemon GO min maxers will be keeping their fingers crossed for a close to perfect IV spawn....

It is rather unfortunate for those Pokemon GO players experiencing login issues that the game has officially begun yet another event.

You might think it’s hard trying to find a PS5, but it’s even harder trying to find a next-gen video card for an even remotely reasonable price. Nvidia RTX 3070s and 3080s are so hard to find in stock that many are resorting to the secondary market to try and find their next upgrade, only those people are discovering graphics cards that deliver the sticker shock of a lifetime. Prices for RTX 30-series cards on Ebay have skyrocketed in February, according to data from analyst Michael Driscoll (which he provided to PC Mag)....

At the time, we speculated that the Japanese company would eventually make some kind of announcement regarding the update, and, perhaps, bring the beta to other areas before its public release....

April Fools’ Day is a particularly tricky day for gamers, as they’re often tasked with trying to decipher what’s real news and what’s just a joke. No, Nintendo isn’t changing Kirby’s shape into a square, but yes, For Honor has added Rabbids for a limited time. Most years, a lot of these April Fools’ Day jokes by gaming companies can be found on the Reddit r/Games community, but this year users will find that the page is shut down....

The tabletop RPG Dungeons and Dragons has spawned no small amount of side content. There’s books, movies, and —naturally—video games all set in various settings that Wizards of the Coast has created over the years. When it comes to DnD games, a lot of fans probably have Baldur’s Gate 3 on their minds, since it went into early access last October with much acclaim already.
