Secret areas give you extra information about the game, more missions, free weapons, or fun Easter eggs. You can’t say you’ve completed a game if you haven’t discovered all the details that the developers hide in the most unexpected places. No matter if you are on campaign mode, zombie, or multiplayer, the game has some secret areas that players might have missed out on, lets dive in and see all the secrets Call of Duty: Cold War keeps....

This whole being an adult thing isn’t easy, is it? School may have set us up with a working knowledge of times tables, Pythagoras and the story of the first Thanksgiving, but what about everything else? Adulthood tends to hit you like that time the Hulk threw Superman into the Sun. How do we get by? Mostly through a carefully regimented program of Netflix binges, too much coffee, and too little sleep....

With the recent announcement of Diablo II’s upcoming re-release/remaster, many dungeon-crawler fans are flocking to whatever games they can to try and recapture the demon-slaying glory of the original classic. The thing is, how does one separate the cheap imitations from the deliciously deep dungeons of Diablo? Granted, there’s only one blood-soaked ARPG that’s continuously attracted fans of hacking, slashing, and other ways of decimating demons, but what if one is just looking for something to wet their whistle while waiting for the new title to drop?...

Each year brings with it a fresh batch of horror games to frighten gamers, and 2020 was no different. There were many great horror games released in 2020, including some brand new IP as well as new entries in well-established franchises. However, 2021 is set to be an even bigger year for fans of the horror genre. There are quite a few big horror games releasing in 2021, ranging from big budget titles to smaller scale games that may prove to be sleeper hits....

Across Magic: The Gathering’s storied history, the game has featured a vast array of unique cards, with the game currently boasting more than twenty-thousand unique cards. While there have been many powerful and iconic cards printed throughout the game’s history, there have been cards so powerful and oppressive that they’ve been banned in one or more formats. While it isn’t every day that a card gets banned in Magic, there are some egregious banned cards that serve as the game’s many boogeymen for players....

Ash has caught very few Pokémon when compared to the size of the Pokédex. The Pokémon he did catch bring with them different levels of success while others bring in more trouble than good. Those Pokémon were better off as pets rather than being used in competition. By the time of a pokémon battle, many of them ended up getting sent out just to lose. Here are 10 pokémon Ash actually shouldn’t have caught in the Pokémon anime....

The Avengers and the Marvel Cinematic Universe are more popular than ever thanks to the success of their industry-defining release of films. It’s unclear if it’s reached Pokemon levels of mass appeal, but each of them are constantly making money hand over fist. In the world of creativity, inspiration comes from all avenues and by sheer coincidence things that look like or remind people of one another. Here’s a look at 10 Pokemon who resemble Avengers and/or MCU characters, including Pokemon from Pokemon Sword & Shield....

The PlayStation 4 is home to some of the best exclusives around, with everything from Ghost of Tsushima to God of War being touted as some of the greatest games of this generation. However, one particular title that is widely ignored in this discussion is Days Gone. The game was unfortunately released in a bugged state and critically skewered by reviewers upon launch due to what was considered to be uninspired open-world design and the general shoddy nature of the product upon release....

10 Resin 9 Barnacles Barnacles were introduced in the original Half-Life title and they made a reappearance in Alyx. They’re more horrifying than ever while getting sucked up by its long tongue in virtual reality and it’s absolutely nerve-racking. Although these are an interesting enemy they also don’t make much sense. Its thin tongue should be easy to cut and although it may be tougher than an earth-based creature that doesn’t change the fact that its tongue is much more durable than it really should be....

Marvel’s Avengers made it’s debut at E3 in 2019 to a mixed response thanks to the facial design of the characters. We’ve gotten to see a tutorial stage and some of the characters since then, but how much do we know about this title? Actually, far more than people think. While we haven’t had much of a time to get a deep dive into the title, a bunch of information has come out in interviews and press releases that gives us an idea about what’s going on with respect to the title....

Out of every playable character in Risk of Rain 2, Mercenary is one of the most engaging to play. His abilities all require a degree of planning and skill that keeps every run interesting. If you can master his abilities, he rewards you with powerful attacks and some of the most consistent runs possible. To get there, mastering his attacks and what items synergize with him is essential. Risk of Rain 2 excels at making you feel overpowered, but getting there takes practice and some degree of luck....

Game logic is absurd. In order to pursue a fun playable experience, some mechanics need to be integrated which would be stupid if it happened in the real world. This results in a plethora of clichés across games that have just been accepted as game law by players. Video game clichés are very different from TV and movie clichés. While those in movies and TV are for the motif and narrative, clichés in games are implemented with gameplay in mind....

Part of the challenge in Classic World of Warcraft is the rep players have to grind. There are countless guides about how to grind reputation, with certain factions for special rewards, loot, and quests. One of the most popular of these factions is the Argent Dawn, a neutral organization that welcomes any race to help fight the invading Scourge. The Argent Dawn isn’t just an organization that welcomes anyone willing to fight the undead....

MMORPGs require a massive investment from their players. This usually comes not in the form of money, but instead time. In order to compete at the highest levels, players must often spend hundreds or even thousands of hours leveling up their players and turning in quests. That may sound like hell to casual gamers, but to MMO players, it’s all part of the fun. Unfortunately, like any investment, there is a risk involved....

Gamers who play with friends, rejoice! For the time of co-operative campaigns, stories and epic team-ups is almost upon us. That’s right, beginning this fall and spanning into 2012, we’re finally going to get a pile of major game releases that let players play together… in the same room! We have Dead Island, Gears of War 3, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City and one game we’ve been waiting a long time for: Aliens: Colonial Marines....

Batman: Arkham City is almost here, and the anticipation has reached a fever pitch. With all the news, leaks, trailers, screenshots, and the like that have been steadily coming out since the game’s initial announcement, you’d think there was nothing else left to cover (so we gathered it up for you in this handy Batman: Arkham City guide!). While there has been a lot of information given, there’s still more to talk about....

As revealed a couple months ago, the Physical Warfare pack is the bonus gamers will receive when they pre-order Battlefield 3 at select retailers. The pack contains new weapons and attachments for players to use in the game’s online multiplayer. After watching the trailer, gamers planning on getting Battlefield 3 may wish to consider pre-ordering, as the the Physical Warfare pack will definitely help give players an advantage. In terms of new weapons, players can look forward to two choices....

It took more than a year for Irrational Games to finally confirm an official (and firm) release date for BioShock Infinite, but it won’t take that long for them to announce a date for the game’s highly anticipated Burial at Sea expansion. The first episode of Burial at Sea will hit the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 on November 12, 2013. Burial at Sea is the second DLC for BioShock Infinite and the first in a planned two-part standalone story....

Let’s face it: movie tie-in games are not good. We’d like to say that there are exceptions to that rule, but unfortunately, while there are certainly exceptions, they are so few and far between that it’s hard to even recall them. That isn’t stopping developers from releasing movie tie-ins, though, because with the growing popularity of mobile games, it has become even easier to developer and publish titles of any genre....

Earlier today, Bungie put the wheels in motion for their next batch of Destiny DLC, House of Wolves. It started with a release date and continued with an intriguing prologue trailer, which featured a closer look at the Awoken Queen’s vengeful storyline. Bungie even took things a step further to lay all the cards on the table, and let Destiny players know when they are going to talk about each piece of House of Wolves....
