DC Comics is a brand known across the world, whether it’s simply for the heroes it has produced or the Capital of the USA that was named after it. Not many people realize that George Washington loved Superman so much, he thought it’d be a great honor to add a DC to the end of his headquarters city. Of course, none of that is true, but it should be. America would have done way better way earlier if the Justice League homies were around back then....

We’re now going from the Stone Age to the future in Fortnite Season 7: Invasion. There are aliens with UFOs, more super heroes, and even a Rick and Morty crossover. On top of that, there’s another long list of gameplay changes meant to spice things up for another couple months of play. This season is particularly interesting due to the mix of new content and classic weapons/mechanics. Thanks to the new content alongside the return of launch pads, snipers, and other previously popular weapons, what’s old is new again....

The BRUTE mechs introduced as part of Fortnite’s Season 10 remain a controversial subject. They serve as an armored vehicle with the potential to eliminate Fortnite opponents in a single rocket salvo, and there’s perhaps no better example of how frustrating it can be to play against the BRUTE than this recent blowup from Twitch streamer CouRageJD. Befitting his name, CouRage became so frustrated in the middle of a Fortnite tournament that he quit....

Following Fortnite’s world-ending event this past weekend, game detectives and players that just can’t left go have been studying a secret code that has been forming within the lingering blackhole. Now, it seems the code has been cracked and players finally know what the mysterious vortex is trying to tell us. Check out Fortnite’s broadcast here. While there are those who view the Fortnite black hole numbers as a giant troll, others have gone to great lengths in unearthing their deep (and maybe even dark) secret in the hopes of unlocking the game from its slumber....

FaZe Clan’s Danny “Dubs” Walsh used the N-word while streaming a game of Fortnite. The 16-year old was playing with a friend who was streaming Fortnite Creative Boxfights when he was heard uttering the slur before his friend quickly pointed out that they were live. The Fortnite pro was heard saying the words," fking n***”, and his friend that he was playing with responded by saying “Yo, I’m streaming,” and went on to say, “I’m streaming....

Patch 10.40 in Fortnite brings several changes to improve the game experience for controller users. Epic Games is also adding in a new playlist called “The Combine”, which is a place to hone your skills, particularly useful before diving into a match.

Controller Sensitivity Epic Games is providing a rework to controller sensitivity options....

Epic Games has announced the first PvE tournament for Fortnite, the Fortnitemares Cup, which begins this weekend on October 23. As mentioned, the tournament won’t pit you against fellow players. Instead, you and three allies work together in a Horde Rush style mode to earn points for prizes like in-game cosmetics. The crux of Fortnitemares Cup is that you must survive to earn those prizes. As it is a PvE mode, you’re faced against AI-controlled zombies that come at you and your team in waves....

Their last major hurdle for the free release was Microsoft, who have held up the project and have not announced anything official regarding whether they’re going to allow it or not....

Over the last ten years, I’ve interviewed many of my childhood heroes - those talented coders I used to read about in the pages of Crash or Your Sinclair. But today is different, because back in 1982, not only did Kevin Toms create a smash hit game, he invented a whole new genre. “Conceptually, it was very different to most games,” he explains to me via Skype. “At ZX shows, I had to constantly explain it was a football management game, and they’d go, ‘oh, okay’....

Just yesterday Electronic Arts shocked racing fans the world over with the out of nowhere teaser trailer for Need for Speed: The Run. Though the trailer – a live action affair that is bound to draw comparisons to the story sequences from such Need for Speed classics as Most Wanted and Carbon – does a good job of setting up a number of questions about the new game, it offers little in the way of answers....

In 1989, Nintendo released a handheld device that would forever change gaming history; Yes, we’re talking about the Game Boy. This little device was Nintendo’s first portable gaming console and sold over 118.6 million units worldwide in combination with the later released Game Boy Color. While there were so many reasons to love both of these devices, there is one reason that stands out among the rest: the games. While later portable systems like the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS feature tons to do in addition to gaming, the playable titles were the Game Boy’s main draw....

It isn’t just the Nintendo Switch that recognizes the colors of its controllers, as the type of Joy-Con used by the player character in Pokémon Sword & Shield will be reflected on the player’s own console. The protagonist of almost every Pokémon game has had their own Nintendo console in their bedroom, dating back to the Super Nintendo owned by Red in Pokémon Red & Blue. It seems that the Pokémon world has its own equivalent to Nintendo, but this is never elaborated on within the story of the games....
