The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s director Eiji Aonuma has admitted that the Wii U GamePad can actually disrupt gameplay by forcing players to look back and forth between the GamePad and their TV. “We realized that having something on the GamePad and looking back and forth between the TV screen and the GamePad actually disrupts the gameplay, and the concentration that the game player may be experiencing,” Aonuma told Wired....

If you are wondering why Blooket is not working or is not letting you log in, here are the reasons and potential fixes. Why is Blooket Not Working Right Now?

IndieCade, the International Festival of Independent Games, celebrated the innovation of indie developers around the world this past weekend with their 2010 festival. Most gamers hear the praises larger companies receive for accomplishments such as the graphics of Uncharted 2, the gameplay of Super Mario Galaxy 2, and the sales of Modern Warfare 2. However, this celebration is different, because we now get to see the “little guys” receive their time in the spotlight....
Welcome back, eager Witches and Wizards! Wizards Unite is primed and ready for another Community Day. This trend kicked off with Pokemon Go as an incentive to not only stick around but engage with other players. Over time, it’s grown into a great method for shaking up spawn rates, limited-time bonuses, and also strengthening the player communities in both games. Niantic is going strong with their community building in Wizards Unite as of late....
Get those blades sharpened and blow the dust off that Oni Gauntlet, everyone. Today, Capcom announced that the hack and slash classic Onimusha: Warlords is getting a remaster, set to release this January. It has been more than 17 years since gamers clashed against the demonic forces of Nobunaga in Onimusha: Warlords. The game was a bit clunky and linear (and it came out before using PlayStation analog sticks was a thing), but it was a hell of a lot of fun....
WWE has confirmed that the presumed next installment in the annual WWE video game series (WWE 2K21) will not be released this year. “There’s not going to be a launch of the game this year,” said WWE interim chief financial officer, Frank Riddick, during a recent financial call.

Nintendo showed over eight minutes of footage of its upcoming RPG Xenoblade Chronicles 2, thankfully I watched it so you didn’t have to. The voice-acting is beyond awful, but the rest of the game does look alright, and there’s a rather nice-looking Switch Pro Controller coming out that. It’ll be out in the UK on December 1, so it’s not that far away at all. The trailer gives us our first look at the Titans, some of the game’s locations and introduces some of the characters you’ll come across....
One of the purest feelings when entering a National Park is having a visceral reaction to iconic locations – the ones you’ve seen on TV, in textbooks, and in magazines – and soaking in the gravity of what stands before you. In a sense, you project what that experience may be like ahead of time; How it feels to look out into the distance after conquering the peaks of the Smoky Mountains; Bracing for an existential tailspin as you feel small against the vast Grand Canyon....
In April 2002, Daphne Fowler and Chris Hughes formed part of a quizzing supergroup assembled by The Guardian. For a bit of fun, the newspaper set some of the country’s top trivia buffs loose on the greater London pub quiz circuit to see what havoc they could wreak. The “dream team” cut a swathe from Clerkenwell to Hampstead, only coming unstuck on a foray to the King’s Head in Rochester where they lost the win by a single point....
This week, Syfy made the announcement that it would not continue airing The Expanse after the currently-airing Season 3. It’s nothing personal; it’s business. Syfy gave The Expanse—which is critically-acclaimed and beloved by pretty much everyone who watches it, but is studio-owned and doesn’t draw in very many viewers—a chance for three seasons, which is more than other networks might have given this relatively expensive space show. As a TV critic, it’s my job to understand the realities of this business....

It’s nearly the weekend, which is the perfect time to wind down by popping the kettle on and working out the Wordle answer for today, 6th January. For the uninitiated, the aim of Wordle is to work out a daily five-letter word within six guesses. The fewer the guesses, the better - and if you fail to guess it at all, you’ll break your streak. The latter is why working out today’s Wordle answer is such a priority, as players pride themselves on keeping their streak going....

Blizzard has been rather quiet about what they’ve been doing with World of Warcraft classic since it was announced at BlizzCon last year. Today they released more information with regards to their approach to rebuilding the game to a vanilla WoW experience.

The new console (which releases next month) does away with the Kinect port featured in the original Xbox One, instead requiring a separate adapter to make use of Microsoft’s motion sensing camera. But while new customers will be required to fork out $40 for the adapter, those who already have an Xbox One and Kinect can grab one for free when upgrading to the Xbox One S. To nab one, you’ll need the serial numbers for all three devices and follow the instructions on Microsoft’s website....
Time to clear out some room under the TV because estimates have the Xbox Series X clocking in at almost twice the size of the Xbox One. With less than a year until what will be the official start of the next generation of console wars, efforts from both sides are beginning to ramp up. Microsoft dropped its first big bombshell during what was otherwise a rather uneventful Game Awards ceremony, revealing the name of its next console and even what it will look like....
