Remedy Entertainment releases the launch trailer for Quantum Break, which shows off a number of high octane action sequences and set-pieces from the game. Fans that have been waiting for Quantum Break to release since its announcement three years ago may find it hard to believe, but the game will be out in the wild in less than a month’s time. To commemorate the occasion, Remedy Entertainment has released an action-packed launch trailer for Quantum Break, set to a cover of Nirvana’s “Come As You Are....

In Minecraft Dungeons anyone can attack from range as every player has both a melee and ranged weapon available. Which you choose to use more often is up to you but knowing the options for both is well worth it. Often a shot from a distance can help draw enemies in or dispatch mobs trying to flee. Here we take a look at the different ranged weapon categories available as well as their features, strengths, weaknesses, and unique counterparts....

Fishing has been a part of Pokemon since the original games were first released for the GameBoy in the mid-nineties. Now it looks like The Pokemon Company is bringing the Pokemon fishing experience into the real world with a set of Pikachu and Kyogre lures. The officially licensed fishing lures are being made by Japanese fishing lure company Duo International and will be available in Japan starting spring 2021. It isn’t yet known if the fishing lures will make it to North America at any point, but with the recent popularity of the McDonald’s Pokemon card happy meals, The Pokemon Company must know how popular the franchise still is on this side of the pond....

There are a lot of ways to become an outlaw in Red Dead Online. The obvious ways are to shoot, kill, and rob your way onto a most wanted poster, but there are plenty of other ways you can live outside the law. Some ways, like brewing up moonshine, can even be far more profitable than going with a guns-blazing approach. But creating a perfect moonshine operation will take a strategic mind to fully maximize your profits....

Red Dead Redemption 2 was an incredible game, just like everyone expected it to be prior to its release. It may not have reinvented the wheel when it comes to the standard Rockstar open-world formula, but it did bring the organic exploration of the game’s world to a whole new level. Riding a horse around the Western plains has never felt so good, and there is plenty to uncover all throughout Arthur’s journey....

After years of development and a number of delays, Red Dead Redemption 2 has finally arrived and has already left a mark on the gaming landscape. This sequel isn’t just more of its predecessor either as Rockstar has introduced a lot of new elements and changes to the core gameplay including the need to care for the player’s horse, managing Arthur’s fatigue, and other more realistic mechanics. Another area that was overhauled for this sequel are guns and how they work....

As the pandemic continues to rage many people find themselves spending a lot more time at home. The silver lining for the gamers of the world is that they’ve been able to complete games they didn’t previously have the time to play, make new games for the original Gameboy, and for one Redditor in particular, build their own custom arcade cabinets. The custom bar top cabinets run on a Raspberry Pi computer kit using RetroPie to play roms of classic games and feature unique, custom artwork based on popular games like Super Mario Bros....

My favorite part of Halo 5 was that one stealth mission where Master Chief throws on his super cool cloak and sneaks through a Covenant stronghold. Remember - the one from Halo’s E3 trailer in 2013? If you don’t, well – that’s because it never happened. 343 pulled the old bait-and-switch on fans, giving us an entirely cloak-free Halo experience. Halo 5 had a bizarre reveal trailer during E3, one that showed our beloved hero trekking through the desert in a bizarre, potato sack-like cloak....

Persona 4 Golden, the definitive version of the popular JRPG Persona 4, has made its way to Steam. This was a surprise launch by developer Atlus. This marks the first time that a main line Persona title is available on any other platform other than PlayStation. Persona 4 Golden released in 2012 on the PS Vita, and includes no new content or changes. The PC release does include support for resolutions up to 2560x1440, as well as texture improvements....

PlatinumGames has apologized for a mix-up involving the Nintendo Switch version of The Wonderful 101: Remastered, as some of the backer codes that were sent out were either blank or didn’t work properly. The Wonderful 101: Remastered is an updated version of one of the most underrated Wii U games. PlatinumGames brought the project to Kickstarter, which brought in over two million dollars from fans. The Wonderful 101: Remastered is coming to Nintendo Switch, PC, and PlayStation 4 at the end of May, but the physical versions have been pushed back to June....

Sony has released their official fiscal report for the first quarter of 2014, which covers from April to June 30th. The report reveals relatively good news for the PlayStation console, with games revenue rising an impressive 95.7% over last year. More impressively however, is how the PlayStation console sales compare to Xbox - a trend which Sony will aim to keep a firm hold on as they enter the second fiscal quarter....

Pokémon GO players who have been relying on Niantic’s changes allowing them to play during lockdown, beware. On Monday, June 1, 2020, Pokémon GO’s servers will be down for seven hours between 11 am and 6 pm PDT, as was revealed by its developer last week. What Niantic didn’t reveal is why the servers need to be shut off completely for so long right in the middle of the day. The lack of clarity could be because the reason is boring and technical, or it could be because Niantic doesn’t want us to know what’s coming....

Niantic is letting Pokémon GO players decide the stars of the game’s next two Community Days, once again giving them four options. Niantic holds one Community Day per month in Pokémon GO. Each Community Day focuses on a different Pokémon. Throughout that day, the chosen Pokémon will spawn more often, its shiny variant could appear, and its evolved form will know an exclusive move. Plenty of reasons to get involved, even if a trainer believes they already have as many of said Pokémon as they will ever need....

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will undoubtedly be lumped together as one of the Switch’s biggest exclusives of 2022, but each version of the game actually features a number of exclusives and differences. Those differences have many fans already wondering which version of the game is better. Anyone familiar with mainline Pokémon games should know the drill by now. Different versions of main Pokémon titles have featured exclusives since the first generation of Pokémon games....

Pokemon Are Coming To McDonald’s Happy Meals In The UK in a new collection, celebrating the 25th birthday of the franchise. This is showcasing a promotional collection of cards due to the 25th anniversary of the franchise, after a disastrous turn of events in past February in the US McDonald’s version of this same event. Scalpers had raided stores to get their hands on this product. While there’s no official statement, sharp fans spotted a detail in the current Happy Meal box....

Pokemon GO has been taken over by Team GO Rocket once again and trainers are busy trying to defend against the invasion and complete this week’s Free Battle-themed Challenge, as well. Unlike the usual Pokestop takeovers, this time Team GO Rocket Grunts and Bosses are floating over the map in hot air balloons. Fans of the Pokemon franchise will be very excited to learn that one of the hot air balloons features a pair of iconinc baddies....

Like most mobile games, Pokemon GO has an in-app shop full of items that vary in use. Some are essential to gameplay and can be earned through other methods and others are purely aesthetic and are just used to make an avatar stand out. Either way, most trainers won’t pass up an opportunity to get a handful of items for free when the opportunity arises. Pokemon GO frequently includes free bundles in the shop that trainers can simply click to redeem, but sometimes there are larger bundles of items given away for other occasions....

Pokemon GO may be teasing an upcoming legendary event with in-game clues. The rumored teasers come not long after Niantic hinted at a ’legendary’ summer for its massively popular mobile game. According to APK teardowns, Niantic may have made big changes to rare Pokemon GO character Unown. Niantic has reportedly made all forms of Unown (the Pokemon can represent every letter in the alphabet) part of the local game files. This would make Unown pose less of a strain on a Pokemon GO player’s data when loaded....

The celebration for Pokemon’s second generation in Pokemon GO has begun with the Johto Celebration Event. With it active, players can enjoy the increased spawn rates of various Johto Pokemon, new raid bosses, new field research tasks, and more. One of the biggest parts of this Pokemon GO event is the Johto Collection Challenge. This challenge requires players to catch all of the Johto Pokemon from a list of nine in order to win the challenge’s reward....

Just a week or so after the initial datamined spoiler and subsequent official announcement, Pokemon GO has officially rolled out the Remote Raid option. This doesn’t come as too much of a surprise since the corresponding Knight Bus feature for Wizards Unite also rolled out recently, but players are still excited to put the feature to use starting today. Although the Remote Raid Passes may be perfect for Pokemon GO players who are stuck inside thanks to current stay-at-home orders and social distancing best practices, Niantic has already confirmed that this is not a temporary feature like the increased spawns and discounted weekly bundles....
