Fortnite remains incredibly popular nearly four years since its rise to fame. That success hasn’t come easily for Epic Games though. In order to keep the game thriving over the years, Epic has pulled quite a few big stunts in its attempts to show that Fortnite cannot be outdone in the battle royale space. From massive live events, including trans-dimensional space magic, and the planet-eating titan Galactus to seasonal crossovers and concerts, a lot has certainly happened....

Specifically, the artistic movement of Realism that began in France in the mid-1800s and has, in one form or another, continued to evolve to this day. The painter who first coined this expression was Gustave Courbet....

This was less true for the big scene between Arya and Gendry, which felt more motivated by presumed expectations than well-plotted romance or finely-tuned character development....

Last week, it was confirmed that PS4 exclusive Death Stranding is heading to PC next year. The news set gamers buzzing, leading to discussion about what other PlayStation 4-exclusive games could and should be released for other platforms. And for many, the game at the top of that list is one of the console’s biggest successes, God of War. It’s safe to say 2018’s sequel/semi-reboot ranks among the God of War series’ best games, and even among the best games in general....

Developer Abbey Games has made a couple of interesting titles in the past. Reus was their first release, which was followed up by Renowned Explorers. The latter was a game that I devoted over a hundred hours to. Naturally, I’d look forward to their latest creation — Godhood. I even mentioned that it was one of my most anticipated games for 2019. Godhood has just released via Steam early access, and I had a chance to check it out for a preview....

One of the most anticipated games this year just happens to be getting better and better when it comes to features. As the title says, Halo: Reach will be getting campaign co-op matchmaking, most likely influenced by the inclusion of Firefight matchmaking. The announcement was made in a rather anti-climatic way in the Bungie Weekly Update: Thinking about it, I don’t think there’s any other way Bungie could have announced this particular feature....

These include Mafia 3 as its director and Mafia: Definitive Edition as the lead writer....

If you fail to guess once you have heard the complete preview, then you’ll break your streak - which is why discovering today’s Heardle answer is so important for players, especially as some song intros are more elusive than others....
