The day is finally here. The new console generation is officially live — and a host of new features comes with it. The Xbox Series X came out on November 10, one day before the PS5. Amid the pre-order craze that took the world by storm, Microsoft and Sony have been showcasing review units, demonstrating some of the cool features that come with each console. If you are a gamer who has the new Xbox, or you plan to get one in the future, you can look forward to a variety of cool functionss, some lesser-known than others, and some that you can make better yourself....

Doom Eternal has a lot of fun references in it. And by a lot, we mean a REAL lot. Just considering how many different types of secrets there are in the game it’s amazing that Bethesda managed to include so much in a game thats meant to be played at mach speed. In fact, quite a few of the easter eggs and homages in this game are straight-up difficult to find!...

League of Legends has been around for more than a decade and, compared to many games, it’s likely received some of the most immense gameplay changes over its history. There have certainly been some major visual changes, but the mechanics of everything from the map layout to champion movesets have been greatly shifted over time. The item system has seen just as many dramatic changes with all sorts of items being either removed from the game or changed beyond recognition....

When it comes to video games, the concept of what’s fun and what isn’t is as subjective as subjective can be; some people can dedicate thousands of hours to crafting the ultimate team in Pro Football Manager 2019, while others can’t be bothered with anything save for a classic match of Call of Duty zombies. While EA’s battle royale Titanfall spin-off has won over many gamers in the past month, it certainly isn’t for everyone....

With vampires becoming a hot topic again, thanks to series like Twilight coming back, it’s fun to think about what characters would be best at slaying them. Vampires can be frightening opponents with fast movement speeds and super strength. They are also known for being hard to truly kill. Better yet, which of Nintendo’s characters would be able to take on the undead with ease. As it turns out, the Nintendo crew may be a bit more ready for the supernatural then most players think....

John Wick Hex is here! And it’s not very good. More accurately, it’s a mixed bag that isn’t particularly shy about its flaws, whether that be the laughable, often glitchy animations that make Garry’s Mod seem life-like by comparison. Or its persistence in sending the same enemies or level scenarios your way that make playing Hex more of a chore than fun. Developers Bithell Games were on the right track with Hex, especially in its crisp graphic-novel inspired art style or subversive game play....

We’ve been blessed with a surprising number of great superhero video games over the years. From Batman for the NES to The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Marvel’s Spider-Man, developers have often shown superheroes the love it took them years to consistently receive in other mediums. Yet, I understand why it’s so easy to focus on the superhero games we almost got rather than the ones that we did get. There’s an entire section of gaming’s digital graveyard devoted to canceled superhero games, and it’s filled with projects that could have been contenders or, at the very least, would have given comic book fans everywhere the chance to spend time with characters that still haven’t gotten a proper video game adaptation to this day....

The Writers Guild of America may most commonly be associated with television and film writers, but as video games grow in prominence as leaders in new media and entertainment, so to does the recognition for the story tellers of the more interactive medium. The Game Awards and the Canadian Videogame Awards both took place before the new year, honoring the best in games for 2014, and earlier we shared the finalists for the 2015 Game Developers Choice Awards....

At 10am PDT on May 19th, the highly anticipated House of Wolves expansion for Destiny will launch worldwide, bringing with it a dizzying amount of new content to Bungie’s popular shooter for the 20 million players enjoying the game. House of Wolves marks the second major expansion, after The Dark Below, to be released for the game, and is the final piece of Destiny’s season pass. Offering new game modes, new missions, and more, House of Wolves is quite substantial, but fear not, as we’ve compiled all the relevant information for House of Wolves into one place....

Nothing is more frustrating than seeing a high quality game fail to get the attention it deserves. Luckily, that is not the case with Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. So while fans of RPG grinding and dragon-slaying eagerly await the game that will likely consume the rest of their calendar year, it’s important to realize that the game won’t just be relying on inventory and leveling to deliver a satisfying experience. The newest trailer for Skyrim give a look at the people and places of the game world, along with some devastating combat executions....

Although Fez 2 was only just announced during a few months ago at E3 2013, the title has already been cancelled. The official Polytron Twitter account and then creator Phil Fish confirmed the news earlier today. Easily one of the more unique indies to come out in quite some time, the narrative surrounding Fez was as much about the game itself as it was its storied development. Not to mention creator Phil Fish’s proclivity for rubbing people the wrong way....

The last two weeks have been a wild ride for PC gamers and mod enthusiasts. Valve has been attempting to find a way to monetize the fan-made game variations and so far the early trials have led to complications and a vicious backlash from the gaming community. After all of that doom and gloom, we think it’s time to sit back and take a look at a mod that reminds gamers why waiting for the PC version is sometimes worth it....

After eighteen months, Grand Theft Auto Online’s long-awaited heists are almost here. Originally scheduled to hit when Grand Theft Auto V came out during fall 2013, these mini multiplayer campaigns have been repeatedly delayed, to the point where many gamers started to wonder if they were ever going to come out. Now, not only do heists have a concrete release date - March 10, for those who are curious - but Rockstar has released a short trailer as well, showcasing the heists’ four-player cooperative gameplay....

Oh boy, are we in for some chop. Metal Gear Rising style. The sword flailing action game is gearing up for release on February 19th, and Konami has decided to breathe some hype into the game by letting players tackle Chapter 1 in the official Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance demo released on January 22nd. The demo itself is fairly short and will probably run about 30 minutes from start to finish if someone plays through the tutorial and watch all the cutscenes....

If months leading up to the launch of Mortal Kombat X taught us anything it’s that NetherRealm Studios’ fighting game franchise is back in a big way. A few years back the series may have been on the ropes, but the success of Mortal Kombat 9 helped rejuvenate interest, and even bring new fans into the fold. That’s all to say that anticipation is very high for the release of Mortal Kombat X this Tuesday....

Habbo Hotel is moving from the Flash engine to Unity, with the open beta now playable. With such a big jump, smoother gameplay and more opportunities are now possible, but, as #SaveHabbo trends across Europe, it’s clear that the players aren’t too happy with some of the changes Sulake is making. The trend is dominating in France at #1, whilst also landing in the top ten spot in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands....

When Spec Ops: The Line was first unveiled three years ago, it promised a strong emphasis on narrative and mature storytelling - an aspect that was arguably missing from military shooters. After numerous delays, the game would later emerge from development hell, looking just as promising as ever. All that’s left now, is to find out if Yager Development was able to pull it off. Players would be forgiven for thinking Spec Ops: The Line is just another shooter....

Any regular reader will know that we here at Game Rant are huge proponents of fan-created content. Be it an in-depth mod that ports Flappy Bird-esque mechanics to Grand Theft Auto 4, or the Game of Thrones intro recreated for Super Mario World, you name it we love it. One of the biggest ways fans can show their love for a property or even help improve it is through mods. Mods have become such a focal point of the game industry that many eventually become full retail games themselves (e....

Since the launch of the new console generation, there has been plenty of speculation about which previously released games will receive ports to the new systems. Games as new as last year’s Tomb Raider have already made the jump and games as old as the original Xbox’s Halo 2 are also the topic of HD remake speculation. Many gamers consider it a shame that the award-winning survival horror game The Last of Us missed the next-gen window so narrowly and there have been cries for a PS4 port since before the console was even released....
