Grounded, developer Obsidian’s inch-high garden survival adventure, has just dropped another update on the road to its Version 1.0 release later this year, introducing what sounds like a sort of on-demand horde mode for players wishing to farm and battle particular enemies. As explained in a new developer video, the idea behind Grounded’s Bugs Strike Back update is to introduce - in “true Obsidian fashion” - Faction Reactivity. Essentially, the more players bother specific bug types in their quest for new materials - whether that be by killing them outright or merely invading their territory - the more likely those creatures will be to storm player bases to try and exact revenge....

GTA V role players came together recently to perform an in-game tribute following the passing of a 16-year-old streamer. Video games have been blamed for a lot of things over the years. For example, some believe that playing them can lead to young people becoming violent and even performing atrocities such as mass shootings. When it comes to the blame game, the title almost always at the top of the list is Grand Theft Auto....

While there have been first looks and a tease, today we got the full actual trailer for the upcoming Netflix anthology series Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.

While the disappointing delay of Halo Infinite has dominated all of the headlines for the series lately, there’s reason to rejoice today. Developer 343 Industries has worked to bring modern, high-quality ports for all of the classic Halo games to PC by way of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Today, Halo 3: ODST joins the PC collection along with its wildly popular Firefight wave-based mode.

While we still have much to learn about 343 Industries’ highly-anticipated Halo Infinite, the developer has been releasing a slow, but steady stream of information about the game via its Inside Infinite blog series. The developers have covered a variety of topics, but the latest one confirmed some very important details about how ranked play will work as a cross-play title. Halo Infinite is going to feature input-based matchmaking, much like how it works in Halo: The Master Chief Collection....

Halo Infinite might launch with a free-to-play multiplayer mode (via PCGamesN). This tidbit was revealed through a listing for the game on British and Irish retailer, Smyths. Expectedly, the listing is now longer claiming that there is a free-to-play multiplayer mode, but it is an interesting development. Neither 343 Industries nor Microsoft have made mention of the multiplayer elements of Halo Infinite, and it seems like Smyths let the cat out of the bag....

As 2010 comes to a close, many gamers will be looking on the year that delivered stellar titles like Halo: Reach, Red Dead Redemption, and Mass Effect 2 as one of the best for gaming ever.

Luckily, Reuters is reporting that many analysts are predicting a great year for gaming in 2011....

With the dawn of a new day comes the Heardle answer for today, 7th September. Heardle is a music game inspired by Wordle - where instead of guessing a word, you hear the opening of a song, with each failed guess extending the preview to help you solve the title and artist in question. 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....

Season 2 of the Hearthstone Grandmasters has now wrapped up its third week of heated competition between the best players in the world. The new Conquest format seems to be making for far more diverse matches and strategizing, at least in terms of deck selection and targeting. As some have predicted since the recent nerfs to Mage and Warrior, the Priest class has become powerful, and is the most often protected deck from a ban....

Immortality: An Interactive Movie Trilogy - the upcoming Hollywood-inspired investigative horror game from Her Story and Telling Lies creator Sam Barlow - has been delayed until 30th August to “ensure the experience is as polished as possible”. Immortality, which was initially due to launch on 26th July, tells the story of Marissa Marcel, a (fictional) actress who filmed three movies over the course of her career - Ambrosio in 1968, Minsky in 1970, and Two of Everything in 1999 - none of which were ever released....

On that note, there are several reasons why an updated version of The Wonderful 101 has a great chance to work so much better than the original on the Wii U....

Since the release of Chapter 2, Fortnite has unsurprisingly topped charts as the top free to play game. Now in its sixth week, Epic Games has hidden another letter somewhere on the map, and Fortnite players are scratching their heads as they struggle to find it. Fortnite players must own this season’s Battle Pass to search for these letters, and must complete at least eight of the week’s challenges before the letters will appear....
