Gamers are used to all kinds of battles in video games, but the most fearsome enemies of all are not axe-wielding skeletons or goombas— they’re parents.

Parents of gamers can often act like prison wardens; there are those who refuse to even let their kid spend half an hour a day on the screen....
Forspoken is an open-world adventure game from Luminous Productions and Square Enix. At first, you might be wondering what all the buzz is about. Then again, you’re probably aware of the bad rap it’s gotten, especially when considering the system requirements (more on this in a while). As such, we’ve decided to check out Forspoken‘s PC graphics settings, performance, and benchmark. Mind you, I’m only at the early stages of the campaign since we weren’t given a review code for PC....

So of course, the vistas are more beautiful and breath-taking than ever. They’re more wildly varied too, including sandy beaches, lush forests and even an active volcano....
A speedrunner from the recent Summer Games Done Quick 2022 event has admitted he faked part of his run. Russian speedrunner Mekarazium completed a live run of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance as one of a handful of online (rather than in-person) runs. However, an extra run of the game’s Blade Wolf DLC was offered as a charity donation goal incentive, but Mekarazium has since admitted this run was faked using pre-recorded footage, as PCGamesN reported....

Editor’s Note: This article does not contain Game of Thrones spoilers past season 3. Can God make a boulder so big he can’t lift it? That was a question once posed to me by a pastor at a catechism class as a teen. He asked it with fake exasperation, as though it was all anyone was talking about in hushed tones in the kitchen in-between masses at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church....
Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is an incoming online co-op multiplayer mode for the acclaimed RPG, where four players battle Tsushima’s toughest foes. “Legends is an entirely new experience—it’s a separate mode that doesn’t follow Jin or the companions from his journey, but instead focuses on four warriors who have been built up as legends in stories told by the people of Tsushima,” explained Darren Bridges, senior game designer at Sucker Punch Productions....
After you complete the Dreaming Jewel side mission, head back to the shopkeeper and talk to him to see why he still hasn’t passed on. He’ll say that he sold two masts, one male and one female, even after being told not to sell them separately. As it turns out, though, he did, and it seems to have cursed him. This starts the mission The Masks in Ghostwire Tokyo, and this guide will run you through how to complete it....

God of War on PC God of War is one of the biggest PlayStation exclusives to get a PC release, but what exactly is in store for PC players who decide to join Kratos on this new adventure before Ragnarok arrives? Well, honestly, it’s the exact same gameplay experience as it is on consoles. Though, as expected, it runs smoother and somehow looks even better graphically. The game follows Kratos and his son Atreus — or “Boy” if we’re still making that joke in 2022 — as they go on a seemingly simple quest to spread the ashes of Kratos’ wife, Faye, at the highest peak in all the realms....
Laplace was teased over the weekend, and Shift Up has confirmed that she is indeed the next SSR character to get added to Goddess of Victory: Nikke. She’ll be getting added to the game on Nov. 24, and her rate-up banner will work exactly just like Helm‘s. Players have a 4% chance of pulling an SSR, and Laplace’s rate is set at 2%. This means that each time you pull an SSR, it has a 50% chance of being Laplace....
“A fairy tale has a way of getting into your head,” promises the new Gretel & Hansel trailer. “Even before you hear it.” Directed by Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House), the upcoming adaptation of the classic cautionary story from the Brothers Grimm looks like it will leave a trail of breadcrumbs to the dark subconscious. And the oven hasn’t even been pre-heated....
The holiday gaming events aren’t over yet, and GTA Online’s contribution is an odd new off-road vehicle. The game is cruising along in 2020 with regular deliveries of new vehicles and casino prizes, even if some fans would rather hear news of GTA VI. The latest GTAO event bonuses and new products consist of an amphibious ATV vehicle, a new paint job for their car that looks like gift wrap, and several events that are paying out double and triple rewards....
The news of the cancellation of Halo Infinite’s campaign co-op split-screen option has been frustrating - not least because I was looking forward to playing it with my son, just as I have with all prior Halo titles supporting the feature. The fact that 343 Industries isn’t supporting it is all the more confusing because right now at least, it’s possible to glitch your way into split-screen campaign co-op for up to four players....
Rock Band 3 has been a stunning success in almost every department. With Harmonix adding a keyboard peripheral to their latest franchise installment, they have continued to push the boundaries of music gaming through growing the interactive experience and adding features such as Pro Mode. Their progress is evident in all the accolades they have received including winning “Best Music Game” at the VGAs and a prestigious 4.5 star review from Game Rant....
It’s Halloween once again in the Destiny 2 universe. The Tower is all dressed up in spooky decorations, and our favorite grandma Eva Levante is back in the tower to guide us through another event.

Here’s a primer explaining the Haunted Sectors in Destiny 2 during Festival of the Lost 2022....
The Year of the Phoenix has just begun in Hearthstone, and it promises to be a big one. After a fairly rocky 2019, Blizzard’s card game has piqued the interest of players once again by introducing a new class, the Demon Hunter. There’s also a new Hearthstone expansion on the way called Ashes of Outland, which will usher in a ton of new cards and balances.
